Review | Tanya Burr Lipgloss

 Hey everyone!

So this post is probably one of my favourites to write so far! I have been pretty obsessed with the Tanya Burr range since it was released and am really excited to write this post. I only have two lipglosses so far, but I absolutely LOVE them! I was really unsure which to purchase first because I love every single colour of lipgloss in the collection; but I decided to purchase two quite subtle shades to be on the safe side to start with. As soon as I applied the lipgloss I knew it was the one for me! The first lipgloss I have is 'Afternoon Tea', a beautiful pinky nude shade and the second is 'First Date', a gorgeous baby pink shade. Both lipglosses are super easy to apply and can be built up on the lips to the coverage and colour you want to achieve. They are long wearing, not sticky and are highly pigmented. They also smell absolutely gorgeous, like strawberries and cream (always a good thing)!! The whole collection of lipglosses ranges from bright colours to neutral colours, so there is something for everyone!

The whole collection by Tanya Burr is amazing and I can't wait to purchase more lipglosses and try out the nail polishes! I would highly recommend these lipglosses to anyone; they are gorgeous and very reasonably priced! Which Tanya Burr lipglosses do you have? Which is your favourite shade from the collection?

NOTD #5

Essie - Smokin' Hot



Well I thought it was about time that I did another NOTD post for you. After recently discovering a shop that sells Essie nail polishes at a reduced price, every time I go in I seem to pick up another new one (even though I always tell myself I have enough already)! This one caught my eye as soon as I saw it and I just couldn't leave without it! It is the most gorgeous brown/grey colour and I know it's a little dark for this time of year, but I think it is a shade which can be worn all year round! However, saying that, it is quite an appropriate colour for the typical British weather we are having at the minute. It is a highly opaque shade and I only applied two coats to cover my nails. I would highly recommend this shade to anyone; I absolutely love it and I can see it being one of my favourites for a long time!

Have you tried this nail polish? If so, what do you think of it? Let me know in the comments below! Also, what is your favourite Essie shade?

May Beauty Buys

Hey everyone!

So, on a recent trip into my local town I popped into Superdrug and Boots and a few things accidentally jumped into my basket; although I had been wanting three of the five items for quite a while, so that justifies buying them, right? The first thing I bought was the L'oreal Paris Glam Bronze Bronzer. This is the perfect bronze shade for pale skin; it gives great structure to the face when applied along the cheek bones and hair line on the forehead. The second product I bought was the Natural Collection eyeshadow in the shade Milk Chocolate. I had been looking for a chocolate brown shade to wear day to day all over the eye lid and this is perfect; it lasts all day and can be built up to a darker shade. Since Tanya Burr released her lipgloss and nail polish range, I have found it really difficult to decide which product to buy first as I love the look of them all! I ended up playing it safe and going with a nude lipgloss. I chose the shade Afternoon Tea and I absolutely love it!! It is the most gorgeous lipgloss and goes onto the lips so smoothly; it is not sticky at all and it smells amazing! The next product which I picked up was the Soap and Glory Supercat eyeliner pen. I have really struggled in the past to find an eyeliner that I could get on with and apply easily, but this has solved all of my eyeliner problems! It applies like a felt tip pen in a thin black line and is absolutely perfect for me! The final thing I got was from the new Models Own range of Hyper Gel nail polishes. I got the most gorgeous lilac shade and can't wait to use it. I will be doing a NOTD post once I have applied it, so look out for that!

Favourites | Spring Nail Polish

Hey everyone!

I just thought I would do a quick post for you today to show you what nail polishes I am absolutely loving for this time of year! As you will be able to tell, all of my favourites at the moment are all pasteley (think I just made that word up!) shades, which are ideal for Spring time and even leading into Summer! My current favourites are Essie and Rimmel; I just LOVE both these brands! All five of these nail polishes are very opaque, requiring only two cotes and they all dry extremely quickly; always a good thing!



Essie - Cute as a Button

Essie - Rock the Boat

Rimmel - Breakfast in Bed

Rimmel - Marshmallow Heaven

Rimmel - Ring a Ring o'Roses

These nail polishes are perfect for the Spring and I absolutely love them all! I would highly recommend all five to anyone who wants to brighten up their nail polish collection!

Mini Spring Fashion Haul

Hey everyone!

I thought it was about time I did a fashion related post rather than a beauty one for a change! So over the Easter weekend I went into my local town and accidentally ended up purchasing a few new bits... ooops! It didn't help that I'd just been paid either so I kind of went with the intention that I knew I had money and I would probably end up spending some of it, why not?! I recently had a massive clear out of my wardrobe and sent a couple of bags full of bits to charity, so I thought it was about time I added some new springy items to my wardrobe to brighten it up a little; because who doesn't need new clothes right? Here are the things I picked up whilst on my little shopping spree...

New Look




H&M




Primark


So those are the things that I picked up over the weekend and I absolutely love them all; I can't wait to wear them through Spring and into Summer! What's your favourite shop at the minute for Spring/Summer clothes? Let me know in the comments!

Review | Maybelline Color Tattoo 24hr

Hey everyone!

So recently I have rediscovered my love for eye shadow! I've never really been one for wearing too much eye shadow, if any in fact, but a couple of months ago I discovered the Maybelline Color Tattoo eye shadow pots and have been obsessed ever since! I first purchased Permanent Taupe, a matte beige/grey colour, to play it safe but I absolutely loved it so went out and bought three more, ooops! The other three which I have are, Pink Gold, a baby pink with a shimmer, On and on Bronze, a simple gorgeous bronze shade and Metallic Pomegranate, a red toned shimmer bronze. All four of these gel-cream eye shadows are highly pigmented and do not crease when on the eyelid, which is probably, for me, the best thing about them! They look great on their own all over the lid but also work amazingly as an eye shadow base! My favourite by far is On and on Bronze! I wear this almost every day all over the eyelid and is incredible for this time of year! When the sun catches it, it creates the most gorgeous bronze shimmer!

I absolutely love these products from Maybelline and would highly recommend them to everyone! Have you tried any of the eye shadows above? Or have you tried any different shades? Let me know in the comments below!
