Down in the discontinued dumps

October was a month of rediscovered lip loves for me which without a doubt was a great, great thing.

There's no better feeling than finding something you already own that you used to love but had somehow forgotten.

However, what's not so great is when you fall back in love with something that can never be repurchased or replaced again, a frustrating dilemma I've found myself in recently with these four products.

Rimmel's Volume Booster lipstick in Foxy

This lipstick has been my only handbag essential along with my blotting powder for the past few weeks. Foxy is a gorgeous, extremely wearable, nude rose pink with no shimmer, a creamy formula and tingling sensation.

It does have a not so pleasant Plasticine smell but apart from that it's pretty damn lovely which is why I was devastated yesterday when I took a trip to Boots to buy a back-up and discovered the whole Volume Booster range had disappeared!!

Nars Sabrina Lip Conditioner

Apologies for my mangled excuse of whats left of this tinted lipbalm, clearly it's a little old and has been well loved.

Sabrina was my first ever Nars purchase a few years ago and one of the best things I've owned from the brand.

Although it looks like a pretty peachy pink in the tube it doesn't give much colour payoff but it is moisturising and smells good enough to eat with a strong watermelon scent.

I can't believe this was discontinued, I've been through three over the years, the smell is addictive.

Lancome Baume Baiser - Rose Marshmallow

This once resembled a baby pink, jelly like marshmallow but is now almost beyond recognition.

Possibly my favourite lip balm of all time the Baume Baiser was released as part of a Lancome Christmas collection about three years ago.

The softest, shiniest and most moisturising lip treatment I've ever tried, I loved it so much I purchased three when I found out it was LE and luckily a while ago I saw them on sale at a counter and picked up another three.

This is the last one and almost gone! Nooooooo!

Benefit Her Glossiness - Didn't hear it from me

The only lipgloss I have EVER finished completely and a few times too! I got this free in Glamour magazine originally, I used it up within months and repurchased.

I then finished the second tube too but unfortunately when I went to buy another the line had been replaced by a new range of glosses which FYI aren't as nice but a few weeks ago I spotted this in TKMaxx and had to snap it up.

Didn't Hear It From Me is a lovely soft peachy nude, with a really creamy and non sticky formula.

Swatches

Foxy, Sabrina and Didn't Hear It From Me.

On the one hand I'm ecstatic to be using up some of my products and enjoying them at the same time, on the other I'm a little down in the dumps that I won't ever be able to replace any of these again.

Have you ever been down in the discontinued dumps? What product would you love to bring back??
