Favourites Rediscovered

With my slight beauty addiction (slight...I say...slight!) it's quite impossible to use everything all the time.

It's always fun stumbling across an old favourite and fallen back in love with it and recently I seemed to have fallen into a deep hole of them.
 Such an awesome hole in fact that I obviously, being me, wanted to write a post all about them!
 Hugo Boss Deep Red Perfume
This is such a high school classic for me! I LOVED this as a teen and a few years ago I asked for a bottle for Christmas..... which I had kind of forgotten about if I'm totally honest - until last week.
Deep Red is literally the perfect winter scent - I've been using it everyday and I have been getting some many questions about it! This is going to be my go-to for the rest of the season!

Collection Little Mix Perrie Lipstick
I'm not going to lie.... I have 3 of these. 3. Sat in a drawer! I bulk bought them when they first came out as I was so scared they were going to be limited edition that I didn't want to run out as I loved it so much.
Such a gorgeous purple (and they were a total bargain at just £2.99 each!) - I can't believe I'd forgotten all about it - I can safely say there's one sat in my handbag now!

Indeed Labs Hydraluron
I actually repurchased this recently as I got it for an amazing price.... half price in fact! I love this serum, I pop it on every night before moisturising and it leaves my skin feeling great, especially in this horrible climate at the moment!
The only reason I had stopped using it was because of the price so I will be making this tube last as long as I can.

Nivea Refreshing Toner
Ooooo this is a drugstore beaut! I just love the scent of Nivea products and this had been shoved to the back of my skincare for far too long! I hate the feeling of my skin without toning - it's like a must-have refreshing step for me after cleansing!

Have you stumbled across an old favourite recently? It's crazy how much stuff I forget about!

Kirstie's Top Picks For Purple Lipsticks

Right now I am LOVING lipsticks - I actually cannot get enough. Well I've always loved lipsticks but the amount  I have bought over the last couple of months is both staggering and worrying!
 I don't think I will ever have too many in my collection! A colour that keeps appearing in my "most used" is one I'd never really worn until this year and that is.... purple.
I am loving purple shades, from bright funky violets to deep sultry purples, I have found them to be some of my most reached for at the moment!
 So I've picked out a few of my personal favourites to share with you all...

1. Sleek True Colour - Mystic
2. Collection, Little Mix - Perrie
3. Barry M - 156
4. MAC - Rebel
5. Rimmel Moisture Renew - Dark Night Waterl-oops!
6. Rimmel Kate Moss - 04


1. Sleek True Colour - Mystic : If you've read my blog recently you may have seen my blog post on this lipstick! I bought it on a trip to London back in September and have been wearing it ALOT. It is a gorgeous bright violet purple and for more pictures check out my post on it here.

2. Collection Little Mix - Perrie : Now I was after this lipstick for weeks and weeks, my local Superdrug doesn't stock the LM Collection and it was sold out online *big sad face* - but when I spotted it last week back in stock on the Superdrug website - that was it, mine! I'm so pleased I managed to get hold of it aswell as I love it, a total bargain at only £2.99, I'm so impressed. I wore it last weekend to my best friend's wedding party and it stayed on so so well - check out a photo here!

3. Barry M - 156 : You all know I'm a massive fan of Barry M lip products - their lipsticks and glosses are some of my favourite and most used ever! I included this one in my Beauty Buys Of The Week a couple of months ago and have been loving it! (Not sure why it looks so pink in the swatch.... as you can see in the tube it in't that pink!)

4. MAC - Rebel : I've been eyeing this beauty up for months and finally decided to splash out the £15 for it! So many of you will be owners Rebel and I know why - this is so easy to wear and being a MAC lipstick the forumla is gorgeous! I love their lipsticks so much... I just wish I could afford more of them! I highly recommend it!

5. Rimmel Moisture Renew - Dark Night Waterl-oops! : This was mentioned in my October Favourites post - the new Rimmel Moisture Renew lipsticks are incredible! They are so thick and pigmented - the swatch above was just one light swipe of this beauty, they are flawless! I cannot wait to buy more of them!

6. Rimmel Kate Moss - 04 : I have some good news and some bad news about this one - Bad news....I believe it has been discontinued BUT good news I purchased it from Fragrance Direct and it was only £1.99!!  Absolute Barry Bargain! The Kate Moss lipsticks are amazing, if you own any of them you will know how great they are, I can't believe this one isn't available anymore - it is a tragedy! If you are looking for a really dark dark purple - this is the one for you!

Have you tried any of these purples? Have you got any shades you recommend?

Before I go I have a quick favour to ask from you beautiful lot - if you could head on over to facebook and "like" this photo for my best friend too help her win the Jones & Jones comp - I will owe you one :)
