Tanya Burr Cosmetic Goodies!

Hi Guys,

Im super excited to share these with you, I've been desperate for this little package from Feel Unique to arrive since Thursday! Tanya Burr has recently launched a very lovely range of lashes, eight new lip glosses and some fantastic nail polish sets just in time for Christmas!

Tanya Burr Lipgloss in Berry Pickings - £6.99 HERE

Now even though I do love this colour, I actually got it as Tanya announced that she was releasing a limited edition lipgloss for christmas. Now with the name "Berry Pickings" I thought it was christmasy and that this was it. But I was wrong and this is in fact permanent, permanent or Christmas limited edition I still love it! 

Its lovely for this time of year as it gets colder, I love darker shades and Im really getting into more brown tones, they're very on trend and I think the brown tones probably comes from the Kylie Jenner Nude lip obsession going round at the moment. However this is far from nude as its a beautiful sparkling, (yet not bitty glitter lipgloss kind of sparkle), Berry shade, the shimmer running through it is gold too. Very festive!

Tanya Burr False Lashes in Bambi Lash - £5.49 HERE

Tanya has released three sets of strip lashes, a set of individual lashes and a pair of half lashes. I picked up the Bambi Strip lashes as they looked like they would give volume but still look natural. They are described as more day time lashes and I think they are the most natural out of the three strip lashes.

They come with a great glue, it is rather sticky though and I did think I'd stuck my finger and thumb together at some point... However when left to become tacky on the lash, the glue is fantastic and holds the lash on, plus you can remove it very easily too. 

Tanya Burr Nail Polish Trio 1 - £14.99 HERE 

Ok as soon as I saw this I "Needed" it in my life, pink glitter polish! Tanya hasn't got any glitter polishes in her range up until now. The only issue with this set is that if you already own certain polishes from the permanent range. Mini Marshmallows I'm looking at you... Then you might be getting one or two you already have. 

This trio contains Mini Marshmallows, which I've reviewed in my previous post - HERE. Plus two new shades in the form of, Dark Magic, which is a very deep glossy black. Then finally my favourite, Fairy Tale, a Rose Gold fine and hexagonal glitter polish suspended in a clear polish, so its fantastic as a topcoat! 

Tanya Burr Nail Polish Trio 2 - £14.99 HERE

This trio contains New York Night, a lovely dark plum shade, which I do already own and also reviewed it in my last post too. Then Fireworks, which Is probably my favourite in the trio again as its glitter, a very festive glitter! Its little flecks of green, red, gold, silver and blue glitter! It just reminds me of a Christmas tree, Finally it includes Mischief Managed, a lovely bright classic red. 

The trios also work out as around the same price as buying three of her polishes separately, although you still cant buy Dark Magic, Fairy Tale and Fireworks separately. 

(Swatches: Top - Berry Pickings, Bottom - Left to Right: Mini Marshmallows (2nd), New York Night (4th), Mischief Managed, Fireworks, Dark Magic, Fairy Tale.)

I think after having a good browse I really want to pick up some other new lipgloss shades, Including I Found Nemo, I just love the name!! Plus Sparkling Dew Drops and Enchanted Forest! 

You can see Tanya's whole range HERE on Feel Unique, including the other four nail trios all with permeant polishes too, which are also a little cheaper at £11.99!

Drugstore Make Up Tag!

Hi Everyone,

Ive seen this tag a lot round YouTube and thought id give it a go, it was a lot more difficult than I expected, turns out I don't have as many Drugstore Products as I thought, but I got there in the end and this was the result...

 1. What is your favourite drugstore makeup brand overall?

Rimmel - I was debating between Rimmel and Revlon, But Rimmel had to win just slightly in the end, My favourite thing by Rimmel has to be there Foundations, I love the Match Perfection Foundation and The Wake Me Up foundation (Ive been through a few bottles), Then the newly Released Apocalips are a new favourite, Combined with the very popular lipsticks I keep meaning to pick some up from the Kate Moss range soon.

2. What are your favourite face, cheek and lip products?

Face - My favourite Face product must be the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer, Its such a brilliant product for such a little price tag (£4.99), Its got amazing coverage and lasts quite well on my skin, A firm favourite.

Cheek - This Blush by Revlon scared me a bit when I first saw it, it was just so bright, but it comes out as such a natural flushed colour and isn't too bright for my off white skin tone either, you don't need to use a lot, so this tub should last quite a while and Ive used it loads. (£7.99 for I'm not sure how much product sorry)

Lip - Revlon Lip Butters, These caused quite a stir in the beauty world last year and I can see why, these have been a firm favourite ever since they were released, they're so pigmented yet moisturising on the lips, an they last quite well, another great product from Revlon. (£7.99)

3. Least favourite product?

It has to be the Bourjois Blusher Pots, I fell in love with the packaging and that's about it, they just have no pigment, or very little at least, I just don't get on with them very well sadly.

4. What is the best makeup bargain?

MUA Single Eye Shadows, They are amazing for only £1!! Plus in 30 different shades, The 3 below have to be my favourites, I must admit the Matte Shades in the range aren't as pigmented as the Pearl ones, But saying that my most used one is Matte! My favourites are shades 17, 24 and 28.

5. What is your favourite underdog product? (Something you love that often gets overlooked?)

It has to be Barry M Lip gloss Wands, I do have a lot of Limited edition ones, But my all time favourite has to be 11 Coral (far left) They aren't sticky and last well on the lips and they're a good price too at £4.49!

6. A drugstore product that is overpriced?

It has to be the Bourjois Foundations, I know they're raved about and they are good but I just don't think they're worth the £10-£12 price tag when you can get a better foundation by Rimmel for £8!

7. Show your best drugstore dupe(s)!

This has to be Revlon Lip Butter in Lollipop Vs MAC Girl about Town, I did think that the new Apocalips in Apocaliptic was a close match, bu it is just slightly darker than Girl about Town (plus I'm not sure why its showing up Red here).

(Left to Right; Revlon Lip Butter in Lollipop, MAC Girl about Town, Rimmel Apocalips in Apocaliptic)

8. Drugstore product that isn't worth the hype?

I must admit this isn't one of the big products with lots of hype, But the Plumping lip glosses do get talked a bit about in the beauty world, but its the best I could find out of my collection, I just find these way too sticky and the smell just makes me feel sick, Now I am a massive Soap and Glory fan so I am quite disappointed about this one.

Id love to see if you've done this tag, If not I Tag you to have a go!

So what do you think of the products Ive mentioned?

What are your favourites?

Rimmel Apocalips Review

Hi Everyone,

Today I have a review on the newly released Apocalips by Rimmel, There has been a lot of hype surrounding these products so when they were released on Wednesday I practically ran down to boots to grab a few!

They are currently on 3 for 2 in boots so after many swatches all over my hand, I finally picked up the shades Apocaliptic, Stellar and Celestial. They are like a hybrid between a lip gloss, but have the pigmentation of a lipstick, basically a liquid lipstick. 

Apocaliptic is a Hot Pink with Blue undertones kinda shade, it is very bright, but I'm a big fan of these kinda shades in the summer (MAC Girl about Town is a big favourite).

Stellar isn't the shade I was originally going to go for but I thought why not try something new, I'm still not sure if that was the best idea as it does look slightly orange in some lights and I'm not sure I really suit that sort of shade. In the tube however it looks like a bright peachy pink, also with a bit of a blue undertone, again more of a shade for the summer I think.

However I did pick up a more wearable shade which is Celestial, Ive been wearing this everyday since I got it and I just Love it for this time of the year, Its a Dusky Nude Rose kind of shade, it reminds me a lot of MAC Creme Cup, but far more pigmented. 

The applicator has a dip to it to hold more product, meaning that you don't have to keep dipping back into the tube for more product, I think this is a great idea and wish more lip glosses were like this. Not that you probably need to go and add more product with the pigmentation of these glosses.

Swatches (Top to Bottom) Stellar, Apocaliptic and Celestial. 

I mostly love these lip glosses, they are extremely pigmented, last quite well on the lips, are fairly moisturising, plus when buffed in they can look more matte, then just add a second layer for gloss. The packaging is Fairly Chunky but Ive grown to love it. The only downside to this product is the smell, I'm tying so hard to learn to love it but I don't think that's ever going to Happen, But if you can put a side the smell then these are a brilliant new product from Rimmel to add to the collection. 

Have you tried these? What did you think? Favourite shades?
