Tanya Burr Lip gloss Review

Hi Guys, 

So most of you will know the amazing Tanya Burr has recently brought out her own make up line which includes a range of lip glosses and nail polishes. 

Now as soon as I heard about this new launch I immediately got way over excited, first off Tanya is one of my favourite go to beauty gurus and secondly lip gloss is my favourite make up piece, so for me, this news was music to my ears.

I ordered the products from feel unique, and got five lip glosses and one nail polish. The lip glosses are priced at £6.99 each and the nail polish £5.99, so I think they're completely reasonable prices - I've also heard that the products will soon be launched in Superdrug! (this may be dangerous for my purse...) 

So now on to the good stuff, the lip glosses I ordered were; Afternoon Tea, Smile Dream Sparkle, Aurora, Picnic in the Park and Exotic Island. (In exact order as shown in the photo's below) The nail polish I got is called Midnight Sparkles, and as you can see the packaging for the products are so utterly beautiful (I'm such a sucker for pretty packaging!) 

 

  Here are some swatches of the glosses, again as in the same order shown in the photographs above, the first image below is without flash and then with flash underneath.

 

So as you can see the glosses are so super pigmented! The formula is extremely soft and moisturising, the gloss is pretty standard when it comes to lasting power it stays for a few hours, which is fine we all know that gloss needs re-applying through out the day anyway. 

My current favourites are Afternoon Tea and Exotic Island. Afternoon Tea is quite simply the most perfect lip gloss for a Sunday, it such a perfect mix between a nude and a pink and it's so wearable with any make up look, on a Sunday I like to wear more relaxed "no make-up, make-up look" and this lip gloss just makes everything look so pretty. Exotic Island is more of a fun gloss that adds a cheeky pop of colour, I think that if your lips look good then the rest of your make up will naturally go along and if your lips look pretty it gives the illusion you've spent a long time on your make up.

Overall I really do love these glosses and I will 100% be buying more!

I can't really say too much about the nail polish yet as I haven't had a chance to use it, but soon as I do I will keep you all updated!

Have any of you guys brought any of Tanya's products?

September Wish List

Hi Guys, 

So this month I am completely skint! I somehow ended up paying off two holidays, not that I'm complaining as I'm sure I'll be loving life when I'm on the beach sipping cocktails! But anyway from paying these off it has left my purse looking pretty bare, so I decided to create my wish list of September. I am hoping to get these items eventually but for now I'm just dreaming of having them. 

1. Redken Diamond Oil around £30

As I've been taking care of my hair recently I've really got into my hair oils - I've always wanted to try Redkens product but none of their current products really drew me in. When I heard about this oil it caught my attention immediately & I've already heard so many good things around it, I definitely need to add this to my hair care routine! 

2. AX Paris pink laser cut play suit

I first saw this play suit being papped on Lucy Meck from Towie, I instantly thought it's probably way out of my price league so I didn't even bother to look into where it was from. I then saw a friend on Facebook wearing the same play suit - I asked her where it was from and when she replied New Look, I got so excited! I think that this play suit is the perfect barbie pink and would look amazing with a tan. 

3. Primark Sequin Dress £15

I know that we've literally only just hit September and the summer is still lingering around BUT I'm not ashamed to say I'm super excited for autumn and winter to hit. I Love my winter wardrobe and especially the night wear. It's all about the sparkles, glitter and sequins & I think that this dress screams winter ball. For £15 it's a steal, I need to get my hands on this beauty.

4. Primark Tartan Dress £15

I have a sneaky feeling that this year Primark are going to be ahead of the game with their autumn/winter collection, every piece I've seen so far looks amazing and bang on trend. I look on "Look Magazines" on-line site regularly to have a mooch at what Primark's got coming up - it's definitely worth taking a look, well I found this treat and I need it in my life, tartan,collar, bow all in one, this is just too cute for words.

5. Juicy Viva La Juicy Noire 30ml around £35

I'm a big fan of a lot of the Juicy perfumes but most of my perfumes are very "summer" scented smelling highly of floral and fruit fresh scents. I wanted something more mature a bit more suited to the weather and the winter season coming up, I smelt this and the scent of sandalwood and berry definitely grabbed my attention - delicious.

6. Charlotte Tilbury colour coded eye shadow palette - The Dolce Vita £38

Okay so this product really is high up on my wish list - from the moment I heard about these eye shadows I needed one in my life - for £38 it does sound pretty pricey but looking at how beautiful the colours are in this palette you could get so much wear out of it. I'm well and truly in love and want want want!

7. Three Floor Fashion China Blue Dress £178

Three words for this dress: ITS SO BEAUTIFUL! I am so in love with this dress but I just can't bring myself to spend so much on one item. I must admit I have been looking around and especially on Ebay they're are a few good replica dresses going round - I'm hoping maybe Topshop or Zara will come up with a similar design and at least then it'll be more in my price range!

So what are you wishing for this month?!
