I thought today I'd share some products that I would have no problem repurchasing and/or have already repurchased in the past. I guess you could call them my holy grails.
First things first, this foundation by L'Oreal is absolutely amazing. I took a break from using it over the summer and now that I applied it after that hiatus, I fell in love with it all over again. The coverage is amazing and the staying power is really good, as well. It covers whatever needs to be covered, but it still doesn't look cakey. I apply it with a beauty blender and it sinks into the skin beautifully. I touch it up with a bit of concealer and my skin ends up looking bomb. So if you need a bit more help from your foundation, but don't want to suffocate your skin in a really heavy formula, I recommend this one for sure. Read my full review here.
Next up is a product that I've talked about a million times as well as all the other bloggers. It sets the foundation nicely and doesn't look cakey (unless you apply loads of it). It comes in different shades and in a translucent version, so you can go for whatever floats your boat. I feel like this is a go-to drugstore powder for a lot of people. Honestly, this is the only powder I've ever bought and definitely will continue to buy. I am planning on trying out a different one from Rimmel, but for the time being, I'm enjoying this one. 
Now, I'm sure you've heard loads of people talk about this mascara, and it's definitely for a reason. I can honestly say that this is the best mascara I've ever used (and I've used a lot of mascaras). It curls the lashes, gives them volume and some length and separates them nicely. It manages to make them nice and dramatic looking, without making them clumpy. We all know I love a good dramatic lash look. I am absolutely obsessed with this mascara and would repurchase it in a heartbeat. You can find my full review here.
That's it for today's post, but I can definitely whip up some more repurchasable products for a future post. I really like the idea of writing mini reviews of my favourite products, and seeing as I've got some more, I'll make sure to write about those too.

I'm currently in Rome as you're reading this and before I left I decided to take photos of all the makeup I wanted to take with me. I tried to make a small selection and not overpack, so here's what I ended up packing.
Face Products:


Primer: NYX Shine Killer
It's always hot in Rome, so I knew I'd need a primer to keep my makeup in place.
Foundation: L'Oreal True Match
I picked this foundation over the Rimmel one for 2 reasons: 1) it's feels much lighter on the skin and 2) it matches my current skin colour better.
Concealer: Aura Conceal Me
I chose this one even though it's lighter coverage than the NYX HD one because it also matches my skin tone better.
Palettes:

I took the NYX Natural palette solely because I've been using the darkest shade from it to fill in the tail of my brows.
The NYX contouring palette is what I'll be using to contour, but I'll also be using it instead of eyeshadows. I think this palette is an amazing 2 in 1 if you're like me and love a brown smokey eye.
Brows & Lashes:

Lash Curler
Eyebrow gel - Essence lash & brow clear mascara
Mascara - Maybelline The Falsies Feather Look with the Maybelline Lash Sensational wand
I bought the Feather Look mascara thinking that it would be as good as the regular The Falsies, but I absolutely hate this one. As my Lash Sensational has dried out, I've been using the wand from it and the formula of the other one (although I don't like the formula either).
Brows - NYX Eyebrow Cake Powder
Eyeshadows & Eyeliners:

Gold eyeshadow - Isabelle Dupont
Because I'm decided not to take an eyeshadow palette, I packed this single gold eyeshadow in case I feel like wearing a bit of shimmer.
Cream gold eyeshadow - Wjcon Creamy Push Metallic Eyeshadow (11)
Liquid eyeliner - Golden Rose
White pencil eyeliner - Essence
Lip Products:

Lip liner - NYX (Peekaboo Neutral)
Nude lipsticks - Golden Rose Velvet Matte Lipstick (01), NYX Matte Lipstick (Butter), NYX Liquid Suede (Sandstorm)
That's all the makeup that I packed. As you can tell, I really tried to downsize the amount because I don't want my makeup bag to be overflowing with products that I'll end up not using at all.
