Hi Everyone!
This page is to revisit my old favourites. I will go through the list each year to update you on whether the products listed below are still favourites and whether I’d repurchase them.
I plan to do this annually to see how much my tastes change as I get older. So check back for updates at the end of every year!
Revisiting My 2017 Faves Part 1 & Part 2
Revisiting My 2018 Faves Part 1 & Part 2
The following products are ones that I loved at one point, but stopped liking them or found something else I like more. The ✓ means I liked it in that year and the ✘ means I stopped liking it that year.
2017: ✓ | 2018: ✓ | 2021: ✓ | 2022: ✘
- Clinique Even Better Eyes Dark Circle Corrector – I’ve found other eye creams that I like better. When I first used it, I think I noticed a difference in my dark circles, but after buying it a couple more times, I didn’t see much of a difference. I do love the metal applicator though, but the price has increased AND the tube has gotten smaller.
- Maybelline Fit Me Concealer – I also still like this one, but there are other concealers that have a much larger shade range.
- Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Treatment Concealer – I feel like it wastes a lot because i pull the sponge off and it just oozes out. Sometimes it takes a few turns before anything comes out and then all of a sudden, I have too much on the tip. The shade range isn’t great either.
- Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler – I do still like this eyelash curler, but you can’t buy the replacement pads on their own. You have to buy a whole new one. So I’ve purchased a Shiseido one.

Items I loved in 2019, but no longer love:
- Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder
- It just panned way too fast and they don’t have a shade that matches my skin tone
- Cinema Secrets Makeup Brush Cleaner
- Colourpop Super Shock Shadows
- Eczema Honey Nut-Free Skin-Soothing Cream*
- It is very nice and cooling, but when I put it in the fridge, I forgot about it
- Jouer Essential Lip Enhancer Balm
- Lancôme Brow Powdery Shaping Pencil
- Laneige Lip Glowy Balm
- Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask
- Ole Henriksen Banana Bright Eye Crème
- While I had no problems with it, I read a few horror stories about this eye cream, so I’d rather not take the chance
- Perricone MD No Lip Gloss Lip Gloss*
- Pixi On-the-Glow Multi-Use Moisture Stick
- Touch In Sol No Poreblem Primer
- This makes your skin really nice and smooth for foundation application, but I broke out every time I used it
2020: ✓ | 2021: ✘
- Blume Meltdown Acne & Blemish Oil*
- While this does work well, it smells so much
- Jouer Essential Hydrating Lip Oil
- I liked how it made my lips glossy without being sticky like a gloss, but the tube would be too messy to throw in my purse and not worry about it spilling
- Moom Organic Organic & 100% Natural Hair Remover with Lavender*
- The Ordinary 100% Organic Cold-Pressed Rose Hip Seed Oil
Products marked with * were sent to me.
