Tanya Burr Lips and Nails review.

I recently made a purchase from one of the YouTuber's that I enjoy watching most, new makeup range, and that's from the lovely Tanya Burr!  I get so excited when I hear of any new makeup/clothing ranges that are being launched (it's actually sad how excited I actually get...), so when Tanya announced on Twitter she was launching her own, I was so excited!   I ordered a nail polish and a lipgloss from feel unique.com, but you can also now get them in Superdrug, which if I purchase anything else from the range, will buy it from, just so I can test/see the colours beforehand.

I bought the nail polish in the shade "Little Duck", which is a mint green/blue kind of shade, I absolutely love mint green, especially in the spring/summer time, I think it's the perfect nail shade! This is a lovely nail varnish, I only needed one coat of it, and the staying power was moderate, it took a good few days for any chips, and is a generally good,all round polish!

As I ordered online, I had obviously taken risk with the colours, as I'd never seen them before, but this lipgloss is in the shade "Chic", and it's an off duty pinky colour, which looks nice when you don't want anything too heavy, preferably for a more natural look! When it arrived, I initially wished I'd gone for something a little more pinky, as opposed to pink/nude, but after I'd worn it a few times, I thought it was a really flattering colour! The best thing about this lipgloss though is the smell, OMG, it smells like strawberry fizzy laces, I love those sweets! I'm hoping to purchase another brighter pink lipgloss, along with a red, as this has impressed me!

Overall, I think this is a great range that appears to have covered all the colour ranges, in both the nails and lips, so there's definitely something for both day and night time, I can't wait to try out more :D

Last week, I made a total impulse buy from MAC online, and it was the Viva Glam Frost red lipstick, endorsed by Rihanna. I'm not a huge fan of Rihanna, she's ok, I don't mind a few songs...but yeah, this wasn't the reason I bought this lipstick, but this is her Viva Glam lipstick, which is also available in a Lipglass (I always feel like I'm saying Lipgloss wrong when I say Lipglass..).  I already own a previous lipstick from Rihanna's MAC line, which is "RiRi woo", a play on their permanent lipstick "Ruby Woo", which is another red lipstick, but is described as a  Retro Matte lipstick, whereas this one is more of a "Frost" finish (what the hell?!), well it's more satin like anyway, rather than matte, so I didn't feel like I was buying almost exactly the same lipstick when I bought this.

Firstly, this packaging is AMAZING, red is my all time favourite colour, and the sleek packaging is already a plus point, secondly, the SMELL, MAC lipsticks generally have a signature vanilla scent, which is so nice, I love it, it smells like cupcakes.

The Lipstick itself is a gorgeous bright red, and leaves your lips in a very unique way, that I've yet to discover with any other lipstick. It doesn't leave them shiny, but far from matte, it's almost pearlescent, which works surprisingly well with a red lipstick (I HATE that pearlescent nude/shimmery pink that leaves people looking like they have no lips), but this actually looks really nice, and sophisticated, so it's definitely something to wear for a special occasion!

At the price of £15, it isn't a cheap purchase, but if you love Rihanna/MAC lipsticks, or just generally a  makeup junkie like myself, it's the perfect treat!

Honey honey.

Without a doubt, one of my favourite perfume brands is Marc Jacobs, he really knows how to create a great fragrance (and a BEAUTIFUL bottle!), so today I'm blogging about one of my newest favourites, Honey. I own a good few of the Marc Jacob's perfumes, such as Daisy, Daisy Fresh, Dot and Oh Lola (Daisy is one of my all time favourites), so when I heard that there was a new fragrance out, it went straight to the top of my Christmas list.  I luckily received it in a gift set, which also included the shower gel and body lotion, as well as the 50ml perfume, so it was the perfect gift.

The Gift Set.

This is the perfume itself, and firstly, the bottle is so amazing, I know it shouldn't sway you into buying something, but something that smells good AND looks pretty on your dressing table, is a definite bonus.  Plus, anyone who knows me knows I'm pretty dotty for anything polka dots, so the fact it's a running theme, is a definite win for me.   

The actual scent: I'm really bad at describing smells, I always think everything smells amazing, but doing my best, I'd say this is a fruity fragrance, with undertones of floral and vanilla (maybe you'd be better googling/speaking to a perfume assistant, or even better, sniff it yourself!), and it's definitely more suited for Spring/Summer time, when you want that light, refreshing fragrance.

These are the shower gel and body lotion duo, POLKA DOTS EVERYWHERE! 

I'm such a huge fan of Marc Jacobs perfume, so the upcoming fragrance "Daisy Delight" is something I'm incredibly excited about! Thanks for reading :)
