♥ Recent Repurchases

Once I find an item I really like I tend to stick with it for quite a long time. I'd rather invest in something that I know is going to work for me, than spend money on something that might end up being awful for my particular skin type. These are the items I've recently bought again and the reasons why:

Rimmel's Stay Matte Powder - Transparent - £2.99
I bought this ages ago and ended up breaking the lid so just kept it at home in Birmingham. I decided to get it again and I believe it's because Tanya Burr uses this powder and her make up is always perfect. It doesn't add any colour, it just sets make up nice and matte. I top up around my t zone throughout the day and I always use my Real Techniques Duo Fibre Face Brush  to apply as it gives such a lightweight dusting of powder.

Nivea Hydro Care Lip Balm - £1.58
I bought this in August when I moved back to Falmouth as I was suffering with super chapped lips and I've been having the same issues recently so I really needed it in my life again. I used my first tube up completely and I did try to repurchase a month or so ago - but ended up accidentally picking up a pink Nivea lip balm instead. I've also been trying a tin of Vaseline too, but nothing is quite the same. It's so lightweight and really sinks into the skin without the greasy kind of look Vaseline has to it and I noticed the difference in how moisturised my lips were after a few hours. This is my absolute favourite lip balm and I'm pretty sure it always will be!

Nivea Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes for dry skin - £2.99
Nivea again, these are my favourite face wipes to pick up. I try to avoid using them but for when I'm travelling between Cornwall and Birmingham they've just perfect for refreshing my face before I get to the other side. I'll also take them with me if I stay out and won't be able to take my usual cleansers. Like the lip balm these are super moisturising on my skin and just leave it feeling nice and fresh.
