What Beauty Products Do You Buy on Repeat?

Ladies, what beauty products do you use so often that you get “empties,” where you actually get to the bottom of the lipstick or jar, and what do you buy again and again? We haven't talked about “beauty empties” in a long while, so let's discuss.

(I should note up front that there are a *bunch* of great sales going on right now — the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale continues, of course, and Ulta has a great BOGO deal right now for travel sizes.

Why It's Rare for Me To Finish Beauty Products

I tend to rotate among so many different products that I almost never get to the bottom of anything, let alone say “I definitely need THAT again, right this instant.”

Still, even I have my regular items that I buy again and again, so I thought I'd round up my beauty empties. Hopefully everyone will share their own lists!

Beauty Products i bUY ON rEPEAT

Skincare Products I've Bought Again and Again

My Current Routine: Here's my latest skincare routine: I use a peptide serum, then Vitamin C, then my moisturizer, then sunscreen. (I save my prescription tretinoin for before bed.) I also occasionally use this BHA, this overnight mask, this 20-minute mask, and this 1- to 5-minute mask. (Never all at once!) When my skin is feeling especially dry I do like this snail essence paired with this crazy-rich cream.

• Bioelements' Really Rich Moisture  [Amazon]
• Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizer [Nordstrom]
• Caudalíe Lip Conditioner (I wrote about it here.) [great price at Cult Beauty]
• Sunday Riley Good Genes (here's my review) [Nordstrom] [Sephora]
• Drunk Elephant Baby Facial (Here's my review.) [Sephora]
• Neosporin Lip Health Overnight Renewal Therapy (I wrote about it here and here.) [Amazon]
• Prescription retinoid (I wrote about my skincare routine here.)
• Vitamin C serum — I've been using Obaji's 10% Vitamin C for years. [Amazon]
• Curél Daily Healing Original Lotion for general hands / legs / elbows / anywhere else that needs moisture — although I've switched to fragrance-free in recent years. [Amazon]
• Honorable Mentions
  • When I was younger and had oilier skin, I loved Queen Helene's Mint Julep Mask. [Amazon]
  • We've bought numerous cartons of CeraVe lotion for my kids' sensitive skin: CeraVe Moisturizing Cream Daily Face and Body Moisturizer for Dry Skin. [Amazon] [Ulta]
  • I just started using Gold Bond's Crepe Corrector on my neck and I really like it — I feel like it's so rich I can still feel it the next morning.
  • CeraVe AM and PM moisturizer — I think I've bought multiples of these? I like to use the PM one to mix with my trentinoin if I'm putting it on my neck, and this winter I used the AM moisturizer a TON if I didn't want to do my whole face / sunscreen routine. [Amazon]

Hair Products I've Bought Again and Again

(I'm probably somewhere between 2C/3A wavy/curly right now, but I'm more interested in avoiding sulfates because of the keratin treatments I've started getting.)

• Kinky Curly shampoo, conditioner, and gel (Come Clean, Knot Today, Curling Custard) [Target] [Amazon]
• Giovanni Deep Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner [Amazon]
• Trader Joe's Tea Tree Oil shampoo & conditioner [Amazon]
• Ouidad Advanced Climate Control Heat & Humidity Stronger Hold Gel [Amazon]
• Ecoslay Orange Marmalade gel [Amazon] [Ecoslay]
• V05 Hot Oil [Amazon] — I used this when I was younger and swam all the time, and it's such a fast, easy mask compared to the “wet your hair entirely and then sit for 30 minutes” masks that it's the one I use the most.

Makeup I've Actually Used to the Bottom and Then Bought More

• Foundation — Bare Minerals Original Foundation SPF 15 (I barely use it but I believe I'm on my second container.) [Sephora] [Amazon] [Ulta] — I'm still on my first container but really like my latest foundation.
• Cheeks: NARS blush (in Orgasm) (I wrote about it here.) [Sephora] [Amazon] [Nordstrom]
• Lips: 
  • Clinique's Black Honey (I wrote about it here in this massive crazy post on tinted lip balms.) [Sephora] [Amazon] [Nordstrom] [Ulta] (marked down today at Nordstrom!)
  • Clinique Chubby stick in Fuller Fig or Voluptuous Violet (which I think is discontinued, boo) [Sephora] [Amazon][Ulta]
  • e.l.f. Hydrating Core lip shine in Ecstatic — I buy multiples of this to stick in coat pockets; it's moisturizing and gives you a slight wash of color that is, honestly, very close to Black Honey. [Amazon] [Ulta] [Target]

Those are mine — which are the beauty products you buy on repeat, readers?
