What have you been using the longest?

[madmomma]

Just wondering what products people buy over and over and have been using for years? My stalwarts that I've been using for well over a decade are: nivea q10 night cream, lauder night repair, kerastace masqueintense, eve lom cleanser and Neutrogena body oil.

Apricot scrub and Bio Oil.

Kiehls lip balm. Amazing.

Vaseline since a child
Rimmel nail varnishes since I was a teen
JPG Classique Perfume since a teen
Prada Infusions d’iris Perfume from early 20s

I've been using Olay since the days it used to be Ulay!

Vaseline in the tin, Garnier day cream (red pot), Head and Shoulders, Simple soap, L'oreal micellar water, Hawaiian Tropic sun lotion, St Tropez mousse.

Bourjois mascara for 15 years. I’ve tried various pricier brands, but I always go back.

I’ve also used Barry M lip tint for at least a decade. I even wore it on my wedding day.

Max factor creme puff powder ! Love it

peep would you say it's a foundation or powder?

Ultraglow bronzer. There is no competition! Have to order it online these days, though, as Boots and Superdrugs stopped stocking it because its not fashionable.

Estée Lauder double wear, Clinique moisture surge

Rommel white eye liner and lipcote since I was 16, 29 years and counting!!

rimmel

Neal's yard rose facial oil

Vaseline in the blue round tin

Colgate toothpaste

Rimmel nail polishes for a number of years.

Max Factor Masterpiece mascara since they released it (I can't find the product release date, but I remember they advertised it at the time in conjunction with the film version of Memoirs of a Geisha, which Google tells me was 2005).

But the thing I have been using the longest is my favourite perfume, which is L'eau D'Issey by Issey Miyake. I started wearing it at age 18 and am 38 now.

Rose and Glycerin facial tonic from Boots

I always end up repurchasing it - it smells lovely , is cheap as chips , is fabulously moisturizing for my dry skin and comes in a very pretty bottle .

Clinique clarifying lotion and Mitchum deodorant. Twenty odd years for both.

Simple eye make-up remover.
Elnett hairspray.
Boots No. 7 concealer (knock-off touche éclat).
Max Factor Masterpiece mascara.

With everything else, I don’t think I’ve bought the same thing twice in a row! Will definitely be repurchasing ELDW Light foundation when this one runs out, though. I’m a recent convert.

Baby lotion to remove make up, either Nivea blue or soft, Astral, Radox bubble bath,

Bourjois blush - since the days it was called 'rouge' and came in a little cardboard pot .

Vaseline in a little tin.
Cherry Chapstick

Body Shop Camomile Eye Makeup Remover - for the last.... 30 (?) years. And Sebamed soap for slightly less long.

Ooh forgot about Mitchum deodorant and can I add Badedas bubble bath as well !!

Vaseline in the green tin. Chanel nail polish. Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish.

Revlon colour stay foundation. Been using it for 22 years now.

I think it's really interesting that there haven't been many responses to this. I think it shows that make up and skin care have made huge improvements over the last few years and there is room to update and improve.

For instance I used Anne `French for about 20 years to remove makeup, then Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish for about 10 years but now I prefer micellar water which wasn't available until quite recently.

On the other hand my makeup blogger DD uses Astral moisturiser which I thought was dated back in the 70s.
