TAG - I Hit Pan

I was tagged to do this absolutely yonks ago unfortunately I can't remember who tagged me - whoops - huge apologies that I haven't go round to it till now :) but here we go better late than never

The rules to this tag:

1. List 6 items that you have either "hit pan" or finished the tube/bottle of etc. and have or plan to repurchase for ever and ever! This can be makeup, skincare, haircare, body care or scent.
2. Tag 6 people that you want to know their repurchases.
3. Let those 6 people know by leaving a comment on their blog with a link so they know what to do

Eeek Only 6??

Boots Botanics Soothing Eye Make Up Remover

What can I say about this that hasn't already been said I have used at least 8 bottles up to now and I will continue to repurchase - a great non-stinging eye make up remover at a great price :)(mini pic stolen from Boots but I think we all know what it looks like by now x)


Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish
Photobucket

I have used this for over 3 years solidly a fabulous product that does exactly what it says it does

Liz Earle Instant Boots Skin Tonic
Photobucket
Another Liz Earle product - love, love, love a fabulous toner skin freshener, you can even use it after waxing to soothe due to the high aloe vera content -on and its great for flying decanted into a mini spray - - again I have used this for over 3 years and I won't be without it

id Bare Minerals (Bare Escentuals) Foundation SP15

Photobucket
Another mainstay for me I am on my 3rd pot of this - It's perfect for just throwing on when you cant be bothered or are in a rush - my shade is medium but I can also wear light and medium beige it is so forgiving

ELF Sheer Mineral Booster
Photobucket
Quite a newbie but I am on my second pot and I will continue to purchase - A perfect finishing powder for mineral or liquid foundations - poreless flawless :)

MAC Eyeshadow Sumptuous Olive

This is my second one and if you look behind it my back up is firmly in place - a lovely green gold which looks gorgeous considering it is so close to the colour of my own eyes

I am going to cheat slightly here and tag all my followers to do this - it's really interesting to see what your must haves are xx
Any questions give me a yell xx

(Just to add I purchased all of these items myself and have done since their first use - and I repurchase them because I love them not because someone told me too :))

How Many ?

Photobucket

I read a post from Yinka at Vex In The City yesterday that struck a bit of a chord with me - it was a pic of how many lipglosses she had (89 in total in case your wondering - lol). I definitely don't have 89 but this pic gives you some idea of the majority of lip products that I own. I haven't pictured the ones I am currently using but this little lot is pretty scary - I have everything here MAC, ELF, GOSH, Barry M, Chanel, Lancome, Smashbox, Benefit... the list goes on - I really need to stop buying make up after today - I say today because I may have placed another little MAC order and I may have ordered the Bare Escentuals TSV from QVC today on the auto delivery option...I love Bare Escentuals foundation so this is a bit of a stock up really and I heart their brushes. I am a bad girl and I will get help after I get my ELF studio goodies ;)

Moisture Care Lip Color - 2115 Caramel Candy

I normally use Bare Minerals / Escentuals foundation but for the price I thought I would give the foundation and concealer a go especially after seeing these two vids on the ELF You Tube site :)

ELF and Ebay Haul :)

To be honest I am not having the best of days my mum has developed an infection after her operation so she will be staying in hospital at least until the weekend :(
Nothing though is guaranteed to cheer me up more than parcels. My Dorothy Perkins and New Look orders came this morning, and this afternoon some ebay goodies and my ELF package came :)
Photobucket

First of all my ebay goodies - I am starting to get my nail varnish mojo back big style so I managed to get OPI Done Out In Deco - a fabulous lilac cream which I am loving, Orly - It Up To Blue, and Orly - Oh Cabana Boy (I saw this on Magpie Sparkles You Tube Videos and fell in love such a fab hot pink!). I also managed to get hold of this Mary Quant eyeshadow duo in Peep Eyes 14 Lilac Wine - these are lovely but far too pretty to use with the little daisies embossed into the powder <3

Ok now my huge ELF haul I haven't used this brand before but for under £32 for 17 items I thought it was worth a try.
Photobucket
I ust admit I love my mineral products so I thought I'd try and few from this brand to see how they compare, sorry the photos aren't too clear but I got Sheer Mineral Boost (this is supposed to be like Bare Escentuals Mineral Veil (the big pot), Socialite eyeshadow (grey brown), Girly eyeshadow (pinky lilac), Partier (Silvery), and Earthy (shimmery olive green).
Photobucket

I also ordered some eye products - from L-R - Brightening Eye Liner in 1006 Gilded (a nice gold pencil liner with a sharpener),Waterproof Eyeliner Pen 7303 Black, Top - Duo Eyeshadow Cream 7106 Black Licorice (dark smokey grey and silvery grey) - Bottom - Duo Eyeshadow Cream 7102 Olive (darky browny olive, bright olive green)

Photobucket
I also ordered quite a few lip products - Top - Candy Shop Lip Gloss Tin - Frosting Fanatic. From L-R - Theraputic Conditioning Balm 8001 Strawberry Cream, Super Glossy Lip Shine SPF 15 - 2808 Candlelight, Hypershine Gloss - 9012 Blossom, Plumping Lip Glaze - 2908 Baby Doll, and finally Moisture Care Lip Color- 2111 Baby Lips.

Finally a couple of nail bits Nail Polish in 1544 Mod Mauve, and Nourishing Cuticle Pen.

Sorry for the rubbish pics but if you want any more pics or swatches let me know, and obviously I'll let you know what I think when I have had a play x
