What was the last beauty product you finished? Will you repurchase?

Bobbi Brown Extra Repair Moisturizing Balm SPF 25! I won’t repurchase – good, but too pricey for my needs.

phlox l/s by mac. I LOVE this lipstick, and hate the fact that it was a limited edition. I would totally buy it again (and still hesitating to ebay it —hoping for a repromote)

Maybelline the Falsies mascara in waterproof. I don’ know if hitting pan on a couple of products count but I’ve hit pan on a few eyeshadows, blushes, and bronzers. 🙂

I finished my second bottle of Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua last weekend and repurchased 🙂 I’m within a few days of finishing my Hydramax Active moisturizer. I very much want to repurchase it! I haven’t found such a nice moisturizer anywhere! But, it’s expensive . . . My boyfriend has said he may show up with some one day this week 🙂

I just finished my Bobbi Brown concealer/corrector duo. I’m buying both again. Brightens and conceals my eye area better than anything I’ve tried yet.

I just finished Lancome Benfait Multi-Vital. Won’t repurchase. Just wanted to try it out if it’s good. It was ok but it didn’t blow my mind and I read bad reviews on it. Also finished my Sephora VIB birthday freebie Philosophy Vanilla Cake liquid soap just now. 🙂

Stila’s One Step Correct. This is my third or fourth. I mix it with MAC’s Skin Enhancer in Neutralize to color correct my face before foundation.

covergirl lash blast mascara. It still had product left in it but it was flaking on me during the day, which had never happened before, so i threw it out. I have another new one waiting in the queue but I decided to use my new Prestige my blackest lashes first and I’m really liking it.

I’ve recently finished my Origins Ginger Souffle trio (body wash, exfoliator, and body cream), my Viktor & Rolf body wash and body lotion. I can’t seem to even hit pan on my makeup beauty products!

I’ve had Aveda’s Tourmaline Masque for two years and just finished it today (used weekly)! I liked it but won’t repurchase…want to try something new.

MAC All that glitters, whIch was the first MAC e/s I bought a couple years ago. I will probably repurchase but not for a while. There are a couple Of colors that I would like to buy first.

I used Studio Tech and finished my first one a couple of months ago and repurchased it during Christmas. I like it a lot but instead fell in love with their Full Coverage cream foundation recently. It’s a Pro item only but it’s the same price and comes with almost 3x the amount of product!

I’ve recently scooped out the dregs of a couple of lip balms, but the last product I finished was an eyeshadow: the crease shade in Wet n Wild’s Egyptian Sands trio! It was a pretty and very versatile shade and the palette is still cheap on ebay, but there are zillions of champagne eyeshadows out there and I see no point in revisiting an old one when I can try new shades.

I finished several products all around the same time. So proud of myself, considering I don’t finish a lot of things! xD Kracie Orange Cleansing Liquid, Alba botanica Sea Plus Renewal Night Cream (fricken HG material!), Super Hyaluronic Toner, and a Dove deodorant (of all things…).

Smashbox Halo Foundation in Light. While I love the immediate texture this gives, I’m too oily to use it in anything but the winter and Light is too yellow for me but the color Fair is too pasty. 🙁 And no mixing like Bare Escentuals can fix it. So probably not.

Chanel Perfection Lumeire in #52. I actually bought it again, but for some reason, the color now seems all wrong. I’ll buy it again, but in a different shade as it’s now my foundation of choice.

Elisha Coy BB All In One Cleanser, one of the best face washes I’ve ever used, totally need purchase another bottle. That baby took off all my makeup without stripping my skin, love it!

Revlon Brow Fantasy- I liked the pencil a lot but because of the double ended packaging I couldn’t sharpen the pencil for the last fifth or the product or so. Will not repurchase because of the wasted product! I’ll stick to my MAC brow pencil.

JEN Avatar

OMG! I feel the same way about that product. The pencil to me was kinda bleh but the gel is amazing! I wish they made the gel separately. It’s a nice concept thought. MAC should do a duo with their brow pencils.

I’m also not repurchasing and sticking to my beloved brow pencil in stud from MAC.

this doesn’t belong here, but if you have nars cruella, can you compare it to mac vg1. i think they are pretty pretty pretty close, but everytime i see a nars cruella swatch i feel like buying it. thanks!

I’m just about done with my conditioner, but I recently finished my Covergirl pressed powder foundation. Every last crumb of powder was gone; the pan was completely empty!

Dior lip Glow color reviver balm,
it’s pricy, but i love it and buy it again.
Because it revives your lip color and is more like nude lipbalm, wich i like.

I finished my Clarins Beauty Flash Balm. I’ll definitely repurchase, I’ve been using it for a couple of years and I guess this is my third tube 🙂

First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads 😀 Really like them, will probably repurchase when I’m done with my “finish what you started”-thing I’ve going on.
