Tanya Burr Lips and Nails review. Just Peachy and Aurora swatches.



 I have been following Tanya for so long she is my absolute idol. When I heard she was releasing her own range I cried. (yes it's sad I know!) The main reason I am writing this is because there is plenty of  hand swatches on Katie's Beauty Blog. But there doesn't seem to be any lip swatches and I just wanted to show you how stunning they are on the lips and hopefully help anyone reading with a bit of colour choosing.

Let's start with Just Peachy. This gloss caught my attention after I read Katie's beauty blog post. It is a lot lighter than I thought but it's even more beautiful than I thought it would be. It catches the light so well and is great for making your teeth look a bit whiter. I think it will look a lot better with a bit of summer suntan on my face and really bronzed up makeup. The nice thing about this gloss is you can either put a small amount and smudge it out for just a gorgeous whitey pink sheen, or you can heavily apply for a full lip colour. When you apply heavily it has a similar effect to mac hue I think.

Aurora is my favourite. After watching Tanya's January Favourites where she said she'd been loving this I knew it had to be mine. It is a stunning pink which I genuinely think would be perfect for any skin tone. It's so full colour and pigmented and both of the glosses glide on like butter! They're so creamy and gorgeous they slightly remind me of the texture of the ever so famous Rimmel Apocolips. Except these colours are far more beautiful.

I am desperate to try the nail polish and more glosses. As soon as I get more i'll take some more lip and nail swatches so you can see the colours properly. I can't to get the rest I love them. Well done Tanya! These glosses are so beautiful yet so affordable we love you!

Benefit CORALista dupes copies!

PLEASE CHECK OUT THIS POST ON MY NEW BLOG!! IT'S MUCH BETTER !!

 CORALista dupes/copies I love all of these blushes and they're not identical to Coralista but they're pretty darn similar! I've got to say that benefit Coralista will always remain my favourite but these dupes are pretty gorgeous too!

This is the original and beautiful, CORALista. Avaliable from benefit for £23.50 http://www.benefitcosmetics.co.uk/product/view/coralista
This is a shimmery pinky coral blush, with shimmer. 



The first dupe is Flush02 by Look Beauty, you can get this for £4! at superdrug.
It's a very pretty light coral. With shimmer again. Similar to coralista but much lighter and maybe better for a more pale complexion than coralista?





The next is Bashful by collection 2000. You can pick this up at boots or superdrug for only £2.99!
Yet again a gorgeous sparkly coral/peach. Slightly chalky but that's expected as it's so cheap!




The last is Guipure by sleek in the blush by 3 palette. Avaliable at superdrug for £9.99 .
A coral with a gorgeous gold shimmer! This is one of my favs, and the other blushes in the palette are gorgeous too.

What do you think? Do you prefer any of these to CORALista?

Spring/Summer Nail Polish Haul! Essie, OPI, Revlon

I recently bought some nail polishes for summer! (and one not so summery one)
 The first ones I got were 3 essie nail polishes. Which are GORGEOUS and perfect for spring/summer.

The first one I picked up was this beautiful light pink with a purpley/silver/white glitter running through it. 
The second one I got was this gorgeous barbie pink colour(more barbie pink on the nails)
 Then I got this amazing vibrant orange! I love this and I think i'll be using it a lot.


 Next I was desperate to try one of the revlon nail polishes people seem to love. I chose a matte formulation I think this will look great as it's matte i've never tried matte nail polish before.

 Last but not least, I picked up Austin-Tatious turquoise. This is a pretty glittery turquoise.

I love all of these. And they're perfect for summer, yay!

Benefit makeup kit?

I have just seen this on the boots website! I have no idea what it is, but i'm so excited. Will this be the release  of an eyeshadow kit? a face kit? and essentials kit? Cruel to keep us guessing boots
Anybody know what this will be?

#New obsession; Hair bows!

 My nana bought me a little pink bow (bottom left) and then my collection just... grew? I very quickly became obsessed with these! They look so cute with a bun, a plait, a ponytail. Anything. They sort of remind me of Ariana Grande and her signature ponytail and bow.
What do you think?

Summer fashion; Neon jewellery .


 Neon jewellery seems to be everywhere? I couldn't help myself but buy some, I don't usually like neon or to much neon but I think subtle hints of it could look great. I think it will be a big fashion statement this summer. These necklaces were a bargain on £5.99 each from NewLook AND it was buy on get on free. These yellow necklace would look great with a black dress to brighten it up a bit or any sort of black outfit. Maybe you could make it work with disco pants/wet look leggings. I like the second one as it's a bit more... me? slightly more subtle coral neon.

#Topshop Mighty black leather zip boots!

So i've recently been seeing a lot of bloggers rock these boots. They actually caught my eye before I saw them on peoples blogs. I think these are hard to pull of and i'm afraid that they'll make my skinny ankles look stupid. I will be purchasing these this Saturday so hopefully I can post some outfits to go with them.

And after I saw my style icon Zoella rocking them. I knew I had to try and get my hands on these gorgeous boots!
