I've written about beauty for 5 years — here are 6 products I continue to re-buy
As someone who reviews and writes about products for a living, you would be right to assume that I've tried my fair share of beauty goodies. From dermatologist-recommended anti-aging essentials to products that found their fame on TikTok, I have tried a lot — and I mean a lot — of beauty products.
Because my beauty cabinet resembles that of a small but stocked Sephora, I rarely re-buy something once I've finished it. Often, even though I love and truly recommend something, I have 10 more of its kind waiting to be tested, so a product has to be something extra special to warrant a repeat purchase. Finishing a product in earnest is not only a testament to its efficacy, but how often I reach for it in my day-to-day routine. I re-buy so rarely that when I do, it's worth a shout-out.
If you keep scrolling, you'll find a list of beauty products that fit the following criteria: A) they're empty or nearly empty and B) I have re-purchased them in the past or am planning to do so in the near future. From my favourite-ever toner to the perfect sunscreen for oily skin, read on to shop my beauty empties.

On This Day, Aug. 3: Astronauts carry out first emergency repair spacewalk
Aug. 3 (UPI) -- On this date in history: In 1492, Christopher Columbus set sail from Spain, seeking a western route to India, with a convoy of three small ships -- the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria -- and fewer than 100 crew. They reached land at Guanahani, an island in the Caribbean, on Oct. 12. In 1914, Germany declared war on France and invaded Belgium. The following day, Britain declared war on Germany and World War I was underway. In 1923, by the dim light of a flickering oil lamp in a little farmhouse at Plymouth, Vt., his birthplace, Calvin Coolidge took the oath of office as president of the United States following the unexpected death President Warren G. Harding. In 1943, Gen. George Patton slapped Private Charles Kuhl, who was in a military hospital in Sicily. Kuhl was the first of two privates hospitalized for shock that Patton slapped and berated that month, accusing them of cowardice. The general was later forced to apologize. In 1958, the U.S. nuclear submarine Nautilus crossed under the North Pole. In 1975, a chartered Boeing 707 jetliner carrying Moroccan immigrant workers home from France to their families for the summer holidays crashed into a mountainside in Agadir, Morocco, killing all 188 persons aboard. In 1981, U.S. air traffic controllers went on strike. The strikers were fired within one week. In 2004, the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor was opened to the public for the first time since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States. In 2005, in the first emergency repair conducted in space, astronauts fixed a potentially dangerous problem by removing two strips of protruding cloth from the underside of the space shuttle Discovery. In 2007, the U.S. Congress passed a bill allowing the National Security Agency to monitor email and telephone communications between the United States and foreign countries without a court warrant if terrorism was believed to be involved. In 2008, People magazine published the first photos of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's newborn twins, Vivienne and Knox, after paying up to $14 million, the most ever paid for baby pictures. In 2014, an earthquake in southern China's Yunnan province killed nearly 400 people, injured 1,800 and destroyed thousands of homes. In 2019, a gunman targeting immigrants opened fire at a Walmart in El Paso, Texas, killing 23 people and injuring another 22. In 2024, American swimmers Nic Fink, Torri Huske, Ryan Murphy and Gretchen Walsh set a new world record time of 3:37:43 in the mixed 4x100-meter medley relay at the Paris Summer Olympics. Team USA won gold, China won silver and Australia took home bronze in the race. Solve the daily Crossword

A Cultural Sign of The Times
In the In Times Past column, David W. Dunlap explores New York Times history through artifacts housed in the Museum at The Times. As New York's premier chronicler of fashion, the photographer Bill Cunningham (1929-2016) roamed the city. But home base was the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 57th Street, where some of his most interesting subjects were bound to appear. 'He became as much a part of the scenery as Tiffany & Company,' Jacob Bernstein wrote in Mr. Cunningham's obituary in The New York Times, where Mr. Cunningham's work most frequently appeared. (Tiffany's flagship store is on the southeast corner of that intersection.) 'His camera clicked constantly as he spotted fashions and moved with gazelle-like speed to record his subjects at just the right angle.' It was perfectly fitting that Mayor Bill de Blasio renamed the intersection Bill Cunningham Corner for one week in 2016, soon after Mr. Cunningham's death. When the temporary Bill Cunningham Corner street sign was taken down, Mr. de Blasio's wife, Chirlane McCray, gave it to John Kurdewan, a staff artist at The Times. For 16 years, Mr. Kurdewan collaborated closely with Mr. Cunningham, laying out the densely illustrated On the Street and Evening Hours columns. Mr. Kurdewan lent the street sign in 2018 to the New-York Historical Society (now New York Historical) for its exhibition 'Celebrating Bill Cunningham.' Later, he displayed it at his desk in The Times's headquarters in Midtown Manhattan. Four years ago, Mr. Kurdewan lent the sign indefinitely to the Museum at The Times. New York Historical announced last month that it had acquired Mr. Cunningham's archive: photographs, negatives, slides, contact sheets, prints, correspondence and ephemera. But you'll still find Bill Cunningham Corner at The Times.

‘I Asked Her Name So I Could Thank Her for the Lovely Conversation'
12 Minutes Dear Diary: I was waiting for an uptown bus to meet my mother at the Met. It was one of the first hot June days, and I was sitting on the bench in the shade when an older woman walked up to the stop. 'Twelve minutes?' she said, looking at the countdown clock and then at me. 'I hope the new mayor fixes the buses.' 'I hope so too,' I said. 'Sometimes that sign isn't always right though. I always check on my phone.' I showed her how I check the M.T.A. website on my phone to see how far away the bus is. I like to know so I can decide whether it's worth waiting. We waited together for what probably was 12 minutes. I learned that her daughter was expecting a child and lived in Brooklyn. She said she had gone to the store that day to get some items for the baby. I congratulated her — her first grandchild! And a girl no less. We chatted about art in New York City until the bus arrived, and we sat next to each other on the bus so we could continue talking.
