My 2 most repurchased products are both not sexy, and perhaps there's good reason for that!
1--Blistex Lip Medex balm, comes in a little dark blue tub. I discovered these about 3 years ago and now order them in packs of 12--they're that good. I live in Newport Beach now, but when I lived in LA, it was SO dry yearround and I couldn't find any nighttime lip mask that could keep up. I saw this behind the counter at my hospital pharmacy and figured it was worth a shot. I put it on every night on and slightly around my lips and it will truly fix anything. It's like the basic version of the Laneige sleep mask. Same idea but it's unscented and 1/8 of the cost. I can't recommend enough.
2--Verb texture spray. Affordable, virtually no scent, lasts all day. I have super fine hair that I wear in a bob, and this gives me so much volume. I don't use any other products or heat on my hair. I spray this everywhere after the shower, comb it through, and air dry. I simply can't live without it.
As for the deodorant, I'm a black rose and oud girl myself! It's so good.
I don’t find it to be sticky at all! And overall it has a lot fewer ingredients than laneige, which I prefer since I can’t control how much I’m ingesting at night. It’s more like Carmex but medicated to treat cold sores etc. I had the worst dry, chapped lips during my first few winters in LA, and this product fixed that entirely for me. I could definitely see it being helpful if you have similar issues during Chicago winters! I’m from Illinois so I know how brutal those can be 😅
I’ve been repurchasing Paula’s Choice 2% salicylic acid since 2007! I always say, it’s been my longest lasting relationship, lol. Something newer that I’ve repurchased is Prequel vitamin C serum. It’s shocking how good it is for the price! And Tarte tubing mascara.

I always look forward to your thoughtful replies Alice! I’ll have to try the blistex… is it less sticky than laneige? I feel like it would be
