Tanya Burr's Lips And Nails

I finally managed to purchase some of Tanya Burr's lip glosses and nail varnishes, and just by using them for a day i already fell in love with them. I only purchased 2 of each but i will definitely be buying more.

In the lip glosses, i bought exotic island which is a bright pink/purple and i love it, I was slightly scared it would come out a lot brighter on the lip than it does, but i'm rather glad it doesn't, its a beautiful pink tone with lots of shine. The second was Champagne toast, its a really neutral colour with a little bit of sparkle and shine, great for everyday if you want to wear something but without standing out. The lip gloss itself are amazing, they have a great consistency of not being to sticky or runny, the applicator is lovely and soft making its easy to apply.

The nail polishes i bought are bright and early, a pink coral, great for spring to add a pop of colour to any outfit. Then midnight sparkle which is a deep black purple colour, it has a slight sparkle in which can be seen if it catches the light sometimes, would look great for an evening look. The nail polishes apply easily without being to gloopy or runny, i feel you probably need two coats to make it opaque but i do this with most anyway, the colours are left bold when dried. The only thing i would prefer is if the brush is a little bigger, but that's only a preference, it doesn't fault the nail polish one bit.

Hope you enjoyed and i would love to hear your comments down below.

Valentines Week - Nails

It is valentines day on Friday, so I am making this valentines week, where i will be posting today, Wednesday and Friday with some valentines inspired posts. You may not have a boyfriend, girlfriend, partner, or valentine at all, i know i don't i will forever be doing nothing alone. So today is slightly on par with my last post about nails, as i have painted my nails for valentines day. Even if you're not going out for valentines you can always use this for just a night out, or special occasion.

This look is simple and easy to do yourself, with a matte red base and black sparkly tips, i did the tips free hand with a very steady hand. You can change this up and use all different colours to match outfits and such, but as it is valentines week i chose black.

The nail polish used is:

-Star gazer in red

- NYC matte top coat

- black sparkle from wilkinson

I know this was super short but i hope you liked this, and expect to see more.

Top 5 Nail Polish

My favourite nail polish, I couldn't just pick one as i have too many to chose from so this is my 5 favourite from the collection i have. They're nearly all different brands and all very different colours.

H&M - Bella's choice - £2.99

This is my favourite colour out of all of them, the bright blue/turquoise is great, with only one coat the colour looks bold but I always like to do two just to make sure thee are no gaps and is completely covered. It dries very quickly so a great polish if you're heading out somewhere and need to do your nails in rush.

No7 - Thunderstorm - £6.00

I love this nail polish one for its colour as it is a simple grey so looks lovely with anything without looking too dark like pure black would and also very chip resistant, I find it very hard to find a nail polish that wont chip within in a day on my nails, but this one is great and lasts for long time.

Rimmel - Caramal Cupcake - £2.69

This nail polish is from the 60 seconds collection which means it is supposed to dry in that time, and it really does, it dries super quick so you're able to do two coats without having to wait ages. This colour is great for those who don't like wearing bold colours but want something on their nails, it is very subtle but looks amazing.

Seventeen - Pink Glitter - £2.99

I have wanted one of these glitter nail polish's for a long time so i finally picked up a pink/red one, with just one coats it looks great over a coloured base, i have used black for this one as it really stands out, but you can also do multiple layers on its own to have fully glittered nails which is great for a special occasion. I will say it is a slight pain to get off with the more layers you do but that happens with any of the glitter nail polish.

Rimmel - Round And Round In Circles - £2.69

Again this is a polish from the 60 seconds collection so dries very fast. The polish is a lovely bright lemon colour, It needs 2/3 coats to make the colour really stand out and not leave it looking see through but great for summer or just adding that burst of brightness.

NOTD - Purple Matte

This season I have been loving everything matte, the no7 beautifully matte foundation, Rimmel stay matte powder, and of course to top this off, matte nails. So for this short little post I'm going to share with you my nails at the moment. As much as I love burgundy for autumn, the closest kind of colour I had, was a deep purple colour that I thought I would wear, I then topped this with a matte top coat to create the effect.

-Natural collection in cosmic crush

-NYC matte me crazy top coat

Hope you enjoyed this little post. xxx

5 Monthly Favourites

Hey Hey,

As you are all aware, well I hope you are otherwise where have you been these past 5 days, it is now the beginning of august, so for this post today I am going to write about my top 5 beauty and fashion products for July. I have just chosen some things that I have been using a lot this month, and have really liked.

1) Simple, triple action face wash. I have been using this for a long time now, I use it every night after taking all of my make-up off to cleanse my face properly. I suffered from bad skin when I was younger so I'm conscious of it now and like to keep it looking nice, I find this wash to be really refreshing after I've used it and really helps to clean my skin and get rid of any of the dirt left. I can definitely say it has helped my spots and left me with smooth skin as well.

2) Another face product in my top 5, is the Witch, blemish stick. This is a clear stick that you can rub over any areas where you have spots or have some appearing. It helps to dry them up and get rid of them quickly. I used to think, do these things really work or are they a con for your money, but I can honestly say this works, I use it when I have spots appearing and in about 3 days they are almost gone, it doesn't leave you with scars or any marks. It's really cheap and can be picked up from any drug store or supermarket.

3) Collection lipstick in the colour pretty please. This is a lovely pinky orangey colour. I love to wear this every day with quite a simple eye make-up of just mascara and eye liner. It is not too bright but still shows you have colour on your lips. It is quite a glossy lipstick so leaves them looking nice and .... glossy. Really cheap at only £2.99 and can be picked up again from any local drug stores like boots or superdrug in the UK.

4) Number four is an accessories piece, it is a pocket watch necklace, has a butterfly designed face on a long chain, I actually got this from a little market when I went to New York in Easter, I picked it up for about $5 but I'm sure you could pick something up similar in other markets or jewellery shops. It's really great to wear with cute little day dresses, like my denim pinafore I have or just when wearing a top and jeans, it just finishes off the outfit perfectly and also easy to check the time when you need to.

5) For my final favourite of the month, I have chosen a nail varnish I got from the shop H&M in a turquoise colour, This colour is bright and gorgeous for the summer I would wear this with any outfit, I don't tend to match my nail varnish colour with my outfit unless it is a special occasion of course. It is a matte nail polish and lasts really well, I can also say it looks really nice with a sparkly top coat as well.


So that is my 5 top monthly favourites, I hope you enjoyed this and gave you any tips or help for your own products. Stay tuned and I will see you soon. xxx
