Everyday Lip Shades To Add To Your Collection

Hello lovely people - before I jump into this post I just wanted to remind you all that my Instagram account has changed! Yes I have a totally new account so don't forget to give it a follow :) - @AlohaKirstie ..... now the promo is done - time to chat lippys!

I'm very much a creature of habit and even though I am the owner of countless lipsticks, glosses and liners I always have that collection of favourites that I am reaching for on a daily basis.

I love to see what products bloggers are reaching for again and again (I mean, we all try out so many it's always good to know what gets picked up time after time) so I thought why not share 6 of my go-to everyday lip shades with you guys.... because basically - you seriously need them all in your life!

You might think they look similar..... but they so aren't - I promise!

Featured :

Tanya Burr Matte Lip - Martha Moo | Sleek Matte Me - Birthday Suit | NYX Liquid Suede - Soft Spoken | Lancome Juicy Tube - Caramel Gospel | MAC - Velvet Teddy | MAC - Brave

MAC - Brave
This is a lipstick a bought.... purely down to a pinterest post! Yup, I spotted an image of this and the lip liner Soar and fell.in.love. This is the perfect subtle rosy pink, especially if you're not into thick heavy colour!

MAC - Velvet Teddy
I love this little beauty - a MAC essential which I think everyone needs to own! The perfect nude in my eyes, I don't think I've seen anyone it doesn't suit.... I even bought it for my Mum!

Lancome Juicy Tube - Caramel Gospel
This product is one that I randomly had for SO long before actually picking it up and trying it out! When I say this makes your lips look big and juicy... I'm not kidding! The shine is incredible and it's so smooth to apply, plus it smells amazeballs.

NYX Liquid Suede - Soft Spoken
Soft Spoken seems to have become my go-to for Festivals and nights out - I wore it at the Isle Of Wight Festival, V Festival and when out in Mallorca! It lasts SO long and the deep colour really is one of my favourites ever! 

Sleek Matte Me - Birthday Suit
Bargain alert! This little beauty is only £4.99 - remind me to invest in some more shades - Sleek always have gorgeous original colours! (Their lipstick 'Mystic' is fabulous)

Tanya Burr Matte Lip - Martha Moo

I did a full blog post on this product not too long ago (here) so you can read my opinion in full over there. Such a lovely shade, perfect for adding a bit of a pinky rose tone to your look - I feel like it's alot lighter on the lips than it looks on my arm though!

What are your favourite lip colours to rock daily?

2015 Beauty Favorites

With the final countdown to 2016 upon us (yes it is nearly here!) I decided it was only right to fulfill my bloggering duties and put together a favourite beauty list of 2015 for you all!

Yes... totally predictable and totally cliche but hey - the end of December wouldn't be the same without one now would it?

So here they are.... my favourite beauty bits from the past 12 months - including everything from hair to eyelashes!

Eylure 101 false eyelashes have become my go-to lashes - I've talked about them so much on here and over my other social media channels for so long now. For someone who has fairly small eyes and can't rock a huge pair of fabulous lashes these are the perfect size for me. I used to wear 107's but they changed the design slightly so they were way too big for me to wear so I thought I'd try these and they are the best - I love buying the trio packs!

Mascara fav of the year has to be L'oreal's Volume Million Lashes Feline. I decided to try this on a whim when it first came out as the brush looked similar to Benefit's Roller Lash which I had tried and loved but couldn't afford to invest in!

Such a great dupe for Roller Lash and I've already repurchased it once or twice, girls this is awesome if you have short stumpy lashes!

Two MAC favourites now - Velvet Teddy lipstick & Whirl lip pencil have to be my two most worn lip products of this year! I'm on the last couple of uses of VT now and not too sure what I'm going to do once it's gone, I'm just going to have to splash out again as to be honest I don't think I can live without this shade! Whirl is the perfect lip pencil to wear alongside it and as much as I've worn it I still have so much left, brilliant value for money!

theBalm are the brand that have taken 2015 by storm and these two face powders I've used nearly every single day. Bahama Mama and Mary-Lou Manizer have been raved about throughout the blogging world and they are two of my favourite products I own (which says alot when you see the ridiculous size of my make-up collection). The perfect matte bronzer and gorgeous shimmer highlight are my favourite duo for both everyday and 'night out' make-up! (Full post about the two - here.)

Lush is a store which, I'll be honest, I don't pop into that often. Mainly because I live on the Isle Of Wight and we don't have one haha but when I am in a town with one I don't always even bother going in. (As a blogger I know this sounds ridiculous but I've never been overly excited about it..... maybe I just need to try more products!) 

Something I had always wanted to try however was the Bubblegum lip scrub and back in June whilst in Victoria train station I decided to treat myself. I have been using it non-stop ever since. I am prone to dry, flakey lips - which is gross - so this is the perfect product for me to keep on my dresser and use most days! (It also tastes amazing!) 

Perfume of the year for me has to be Estee Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge. Oh my lord I've been obsessed, so obsessed that I have actually in fact I have none left. Which is so sad.... but I'm thinking I may treat myself for my birthday (less than 6 weeks to go!) .... plus I did just get Alien and Angel for Christmas so I'm sure that will keep me going for a while!

I can't believe I only have on hair product in this years favs but there we go! Aussie's 3 Miracle Oil has been my go-to oil, especially over the last few months. I love the scent, it's not too heavy on my short hair, it lasts for months on end plus it's affordable! So yeah.... go and try it!

Last but not least is something that seems to be in every favourite, holy grail and skincare post - but I STILL haven't found anything that I like better and that's the Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish. I love this stuff, it's the only product that I use that actually makes me feel like I have removed all of my make-up and it leaves my face feeling clean, fresh and totally bare.

If you are still yet it try it - get it on the top of your list for 2016, you won't regret it!

So there we have it. My 2015 beauty favourites.... what have been yours? I'd LOVE to know in the comments below :)
