#TanyaBurrLipsandNails

Hi everyone,

I ordered some products from the Tanya Burr by Eye Candy! Collection the day they was released, luckily before they all sold out. I got a couple things to try them out.

L-R: Champagne Toast and Just Peachy

I got two lipglosses; Champagne Toast and Just Peachy. I received them quite late because one was out of stock after I ordered it but the delivery was free so I can't complain. When they finally came I was so pleased with how they looked. The packaging of the lipglosses are lovely and Tan looks Beauts on the packaging which the products came in.
They are so moisturising, shiny and last on the lips ages. The smell is Devine and I thought I wouldn't find anything that smells better than NYX lip products but these do!! The only fault I have is that the colours are a lot different from what they are advertised as on the websites. Champagne toast looks a light pink colour with specks of glitter in it online but in real life it is a lot browner toned and shearer. I can't complain though because it makes a lovely clear coat on top of a lipstick or on a bare lip making the lips look very shiny.
I haven't tried the other shade I have yet but I'm sure I'll love it.

They are now available online on the Superdrug website as well as Feel Unique and a few other beauty websites so I can't wait to buy more:) Also I'm very excited to try some nail varnishes as I've seen a lot of great reviews about them online. It's my birthday on Wednesday so I'm hoping to get a couple other colours too (hint hint mum;))

Have you tried any of Tanya's lipglosses or nail varnishes?  Let me know in the comment!

Thanks for reading:)

My 'Real Techniques' brush collection

Hi everyone,

I've been umming and arring for a while now to do this post (mainly because I needed to clean my brushes), and finally decided to press post, so hope you enjoy:)

I forgot to photograph them after I cleaned them so this

is after a couple of uses.. Do mind me haha!

My collection of Real Techniques brushes started in April last year, I first bought the 'Expert face brush' and I absolutley loved it! Because I loved it so much, I then bought the powder brush and blush brush together on a buy 1 get 2nd half price, which offer is nearly always on in boots, and I love these two just as much! They are all so soft and i'm sometimes late getting ready in the morning because I sit stroking my face with the powder brush hahaha!

When my sister moved to Uni in September, as a leaving present I ordered her an 'expert face brush' and also ordered a cheeky purchase for myself, 'The starter kit'. I use 3/5 of the brushes in this set on a day to day basis, however I have used the 2 others, the 'accent brush' and 'fine liner brush' a few times but just not a daily essential.

These 3 are what I use from the 'starter kit' everyday; 

'Deluxe crease brush', 'brow brush' and 'base shadow brush'

My next buy will be the 'core collection' and the 'setting brush'. They are quite expensive but I would really recommend them and for the amount I use them, I have gotten my moneys worth definatly!
Big round of applause for Sam Chapman, my favourite brushes by far:)

Have you tried any of the real techniques brushes/do you want to try them? Let me know which are your favourites or on the top of your beauty wants list in the comments!

Thanks for reading:)

#FOTD- Everyday makeup look

Hi everyone,

So today after about a week of plucking up the courage I've finally decided to put up a #FOTD post!
I absolutely love applying makeup and trying new products so my everyday makeup doesn't stay the same very often (changing my everyday lipstick or blush) but this is what i'm wearing at the minute! It's my go to makeup and I wear it to school everyday. I'm no makeup artist (lol I wish), so if i'm doing something wrong then sorry haha!

I stay very neutral but add a little colour on my checks and lips:)

My go to foundation at the moment (and has been since April 2013), is Rimmel Wake Me Up. It is sometimes too orange for me so I do mix it with my bourjois healthy mix (which I hate on it's own) and together it makes a petfectooo colour for me.

Collection Lasting Perfection concealer  is my fave, I apply it under my eyes (quite a bit because i've got my dads eyes, thanks dad love). It is also great for your spots and blemishes, fab coverage!!! If you don't have it then get it, I swear you'll love it!!

To set my face I use Rimmel Stay Matte powder, my skin tone is oily and it is so good at keeping my oiliness on the low key.

In my NYX haul I posted last week, I showed you all my new blush in 'rose garden', I am absolutely loving it and have been wearing it everyday since I got it.

For filling in my eyebrows I use Mac 'charcol brown', people always ask me what I use on my eyebrows and I say eyeshadow and they're like 'whattttttt?!?', But blame Tanya Burr haha. She got me hooked, I find it so much easier to apply and think it looks a lot better (on me) than pencil! 

I got my trusty Maybelline the falsies mascara back, finally, after it being out of stock EVERYWHERE over christmas! I love it so much and have been using it for over a year now!

Also in my NYX blog post I showed that I got this lip balm, it has a hint of colour in it and makes my lips a light pink colour, just like the baby lips so i'm always switching between my fave babylips, cherry me, and my new NYX lip balm! 

I wear eyeshadow everyday, I feel so weird and incomplete without it and at the minute I am loving my Urban Decay Naked Basics palette! For everyday I use the pinky toned colour 'W.O.S' (3rd left) all over my lid and the light brown called 'Naked 2' (4th left) in my crease. For a highlight I use the first colour called 'Venus' in the inner corners of my eyes and on my brow bone.

Now for the scary part, a picture of the makeup! These two pictures are on two separate days but they show the two different Lip balms that I wear! Sorry they aren't great pictures, when taking them on my camera the lighting literally made me look white so I had to use my phone!

This is with babylips cherry me on my lips:) 

(It looks darker than usual, I had a lip stain on before that's why haha)

I wear it to work all the time as it's quick and easy

(This is where I was going in this picture haha)

If  you liked this kind of post let me know, and maybe I can do more #FOTD's!

Thanks for reading:)

What do you want to see on my blog?!

Hi everyone,

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been really busy with work and school (again!!!). I've also been getting over the flu which I've had for nearly 2 weeks now!!

I have a few ideas on what to post on my blog, however if you have any ideas let me know as I really love blogging, however don't want to bore you all with the same posts over and over! I liked writing my Review on Maybelline babylips so I am planning on writing more reviews. For example, reviewing my Real Techniques brushes (a lot of my friends ask me about them too so they can come read it also), January favourites is another I'm sure I'll be posting and reviews on the products which I bought from NYX in my last blog post.

It's my birthday coming up (15 days woohooo), so I'm thinking about doing #OOTD posts, as I'm sure we will go out for a family meal or I'll do something with my friends. Also maybe a 'what I got for my birthday' post?! However it will most probably be stuff for driving and a car as i'm turning the big 1 7 oooooh hahaha so I'm not definite on this post yet!

As I said, any posts you would like me to post or anything you specifically like reading, then let me know and I'll be sure to take it into consideration:)

Sorry this was boring but I thought I'd post to make sure you all know where I'm at and that my blog is still alive haha!

Thanks for reading:)

NYX makeup haul

Hi everyone,

Yesterday I received my order from NYX (a makeup brand for whoever doesn't know). It's an American makeup brand, however, has a European online store and it is now sold in selected Next clothing stores in UK! I ordered off the online store and the postage costs a bomb!!! But because I spent over £30 (oops) I received free postage woohoo!

I went a bit lip crazy as you can see but also bought a highly recommended blush

Firstly, I bought a set of matte lip creams, as they were cheaper than buying them separately. I wanted the colours Antwerp which is a coral/nude shade and Addis Ababa which is a hot pink shade so when I saw they was in a set I thought I'd buy it to save money and also try another shade for a cheaper price! My lips are quite dry at the moment so they aren't my favourite things ever at the moment, however they do have a really nice formula and the smell is amazing so I do think I will love these when it comes to spring and summer:) The set of 3 was £12 and called 'Give a Little Love'.
That was all a bit negative but I do like NYX lip products as I have the mega shine set including 'beige', 'natural' and 'sugar pie'. I love them and they smell incredible!!! I just want to eat them haha.

I'm not keen on the colour of this lipstick I bought, it was in the sale for £4 so this is why I bought it, however the colour isn't the same as it looked on the site so it wasn't as I expected it to be. A shame really as It's not a colour I would wear :( 

However, the lip tint is defiantly something I am going to be wearing, in fact I wore it at school today. It's very moisturising and has a great tint. I would say it is a dupe for the maybelline babylips which I reviewed in a recent blog post:) I would highly recommend this lip tint and it was cheap!! In the sale for £3.50

NYX black label lipstick in 'That 70's Pink' and Color Lip Balm in 'Merci'

The last and my favourite item which I bought was a powder blush in the colour 'Rose Garden'. I already had the shade 'Mocha' which I bought for my prom so I knew I liked the formula, and also a lot of bloggers/vloggers recommened it such as Tanya Burr. She used it in her back to school makeup tutorial on her channel and it just made her look so healthy. It is quite a light shade of pink and had gold speckles in it which I love. Because of the gold shimmer it can be worn as a blush and highlighter at the same time so you don't need to mess around with two products in the morning when getting ready (eg for school, this was a lot easier for me)! Overall I love it and it will definatly be my go to blush!

NYX powder blush in 'Rose Garden'. It is £6:)

I also got one other product but I won't be showing that as it is for my friend for her birthday and I know she will read this (she proof reads my posts incase of spelling/grammar mistakes hahaha, as she is an A Level English student. Thanks Em;)) 

Have you tried any NYX products? Or is there any you want to try? Recommend me some as I love this brand!! 

Thanks for reading:)

Tomorrow I will be uploading a post on what I received from NYX, my order came today woohoo! There will be reviews on the products in the next few weeks so keep reading for them and also any requests on what you want me to post about, make sure you let me know by commenting, emailing me or tweeting me (fancy new (not fully finished) social media buttons to the right... Oooooh)!

Once again, Thank you so much!

Top 5 fave body butters

Hi everyone,

Don't you just love body butters/creams? I am obsessed! Infact obsessed isn't even the word... I have so many!! I am known in my sport lessons for walking late into practical lessons with a strong scent coming off of my legs (mainly of Raspberries, thats the moisturiser I currently have in my sport bag), because i've been moisturising my legs in the changing rooms... Oooops! Always got to smell nice I say, not that anyones going to be smelling my legs haha!

I can't even count have many I have but I've narrowed it down to my top 5! I'll give you an explanation of what I think they smell like (what the description on the back of the product says) so picture me sat on my bed smelling them all lol!!
Im going to do them in order, so 5 is my least fave and 1 is my absolute favourite. I obviously love them all as these are the ones which have made my top 5 but I do have 1 specific fave!

5. Sanctuary spa body lotion: To me this has no smell to it at all which I like. I normally love strong sweet/fruity scents but on days when I can't be bothered or not going somewhere (eg bed) I will use this because I don't want to waste my fave scenty ones.... Lol so over protective hahaha
4. Soap and Glory Sugary Crush body butter: I love this so much!!! My best friend Emily bought me a set for christmas, it included the body butter, body scrub and body wash and it just smells amazing. It is the Lime scent products of S&G and I agree that it smells of lime but all I can smell is Key Lime Pie and Lemon Cheesecake which we make at work!! That makes me want to eat it haha. When I opened it on Christmas day I shoved it in my sisters face because she loves cheesecake and she loved the smell so much that she tried it to see if it tasted the same as it smelt... Apparently it didn't hahaha soz sis!!

3. Justin Bieber Someday: This has to be the gayest pick ever! Don't get me wrong I love Justin but its a bit lame isn't it hahaha! However, don't say anything until you've smelt it!! Beautiful!! Good job Biebs! I don't have a clue what this smells of and it doesn't say on the packaging so i'm taking a guess and saying flowers. I love it!!

2. Body shop body lotion: As silly as this sounds it was so hard to decide between the last two... Hahah! I decided to chose Body shop body lotions as they do the best scents ever! My favourites are Satsuma and Strawberry. I ran out of  my strawberry and satsuma lotions around the same time so I was very happy that I received a set for christmas including this brand spanking new satsuma body butter.
This is my brand new pot and I don't dare use it because it looks so pretty hahaha! I also don't think I need any more pots open at the minute lol!
1. Victoria Secret PINK!: I'm sorry to tell you this but it has been discontinued............:( I found out a couple days before I was going to an airport (best place to by VS, plus I don't have a store near me) and I was so upset because I didn't stock up:( I'm literally on rashens when using this because I can't bear to throw it away! It smells of meringue and whipped cream (according to the packaging) and being the scent expert I am, I totes agree!! It sounds amazing doesn't it? Well if I could I would put a rashened portion onto my blog for you all to smell through your screens to show you just how amazing it is! I love it so much, I only use it for special occasions now, I think the last time I could bring myself around to using quite a bit of it was for my prom, which was in June, and I got so many compliments on how good I smelt....lol!
I'm on the hunt for a new favourite VS scent, I did find one but I threw the bottle away after I used it and now I can't find it anywhere... Bad idea Kieren, Bad idea!!!

Anyway sorry for another very long post, by now i'm guessing you've realised I love to talk a lot haha!
Also I would just like to say I made a post about the Liebster awards with 5 (!!!!!) new nominations in and posted it on Sunday but it deleted itself and I can't get it back:( So annoyed!! But thank you to the people who nominated me, means a lot!

If you have any body butters/lotions/moisturisers, (whatever you want to call them, I called them every name under the sun in this post) you think I would love or any you love, then let me know and I will add some more to my ever growing collection:)

Thanks for reading :)

Love Kieren xx
