Tanya Burr Autumn Lipsticks

I just picked up two of Tanya Burr's Autumn collection lipsticks. I got Pink Cocoa and Big Kiss. The formula is so silky smooth and feels weightless on your lips. They are also enriched with Vitamin E for a moisturising formula. Also how can you not love the gold packaging, they have a really nice weight to them making them feel luxury and expensive.

This first picture is of Big Kiss, its such a good red. I would imagine this would look great on any skin tone, I always struggle to find a red lip I like but this is such a nice rich slightly darker red.

 This picture is of Pink Cocoa. This is definitely going to be my go to nude lipstick, its a better version of my own lip colour and its stunning! I would really recommend this colour.

You can really see how silky the formula is in the swatches, they have a really nice satin finish. The pigmentation is amazing when I tried it on my lips you just needed a quick swipe and you could already see how much coverage you get from them.

Available now in Superdrug and FeelUnique The shades I picked up can be a little tricky to buy because they are so popular I had to order them separately between the two websites. For £6.99 and 3g of product you really can't go wrong with these.

Charlotte Tilbury First Purchases

I've finally bitten the bullet and bought myself some Charlotte Tilbury goodies. I have a new counter in my local John Lewis store so I just had to try it out. I talked to a wonderful woman and she gave me a full look that she thought would be good for me as I struggle with finding the right foundation for my dry skin. I then attended a launch party for the John Lewis beauty hall, launching Charlotte Tilbury, Mac and Marc Jacobs. With 15% off and a redeemable £5 back from the ticket price I couldn't resist a few purchases.

My first purchase was Charlotte's Magic Cream. this is her coveted secret formula. Her secret blend of  ingredients, including BioNymph Peptide Complex, floral extracts and a hyaluronic acid booster to lift and add moisture.
Features:
• Unique ‘multi-tasking’ anti-age BioNymph Peptide Complex stimulates collagen production while fighting free radicals
• Features SPF15 & an anti-UVA filter to protect the skin from the sun’s ageing effects
• Sodium Hyaluronate forms a film of hyaluronic acid, while Wild Pansy extracts help renew over the skin to seal-in moisture
• Rosehip & camellia oils plus antioxidant vitamin E transform grey complexions into hydrated, mirror-shine skin
• Ideal canvas to apply makeup
• Paraben-free

I bought the magic cream after much research and bordering running out of my previous ESPA ProMoisture moisturiser. I decided that due to having the SPF added in and being so good under makeup  I just had to upgrade. It has such a silky texture and absorbs so well into my skin.





My second purchase was the Colour Chameleon Eyeshadow Pencil in Bronze Garnet. I've been using the Maybelline Colour Tattoo 24 hour eyeshadow in On and On Bronze. However I did fall in love with Charlotte's Bronze Garnet pencil. The colour payoff of this product is just phenomenal I had tried this a few times on my hand and even with washing it multiple times and rubbing it didn't budge, this was when I knew I had to get this product.  Infused with Synthetic Sapphire, a mineral gemstone with natural soft-focus powers, for a smooth, perfect finish. This shade was suggested for green eyes but I have very multi-coloured eyes so I think even if you have hazel eyes it would look beautiful.

Overall, if you have the budget I would thoroughly recommend these products. Products like skincare I really think are worth splashing out on. Magic cream comes in at £70 and the pencil comes in at £19. I would recommend looking around as I got a very good offer with John Lewis. Often if there is a few products you want they may be available in sets as well especially coming up to Christmas!

Maybelline Baby Lips Pumpkin Spice Review

I decided to get the Maybelline Baby Lips Pumpkin Spice purely over the fact I love cinnamon and pumpkin and autumnal flavours. I have to say I am quite surprised at how it came out. The pigmentation is great and keeps my lips feeling very soft without a bad taste. I wouldn't completely recognise the taste as pumpkin spice but it is very nice either way. It claims to give 8 hours of hydration but I haven't tested out the product enough to vouch for that but I would say it does a great job considering the price point of this product being £2.99. 

Lush Cosmetics Pumpkin Bath Bomb

This little chappy was part of the Lush Cosmetics Halloween range and unfortunately he is now no longer available, but some stores may have some left. Pumpkin Bath bomb is super cute and such a big scent. We could smell this from all over the house when I had used it. My skin also smelt amazing even the next morning after bathing in it.





The bath went bright orange but didn't stain thankfully! It certainly was a bath ballistic as it fizzed away in no time! Its main smell is citrus and vanilla and cinnamon.


I would really recommended it if you can still find it, unfortunately I couldn't find it on Lush's website anymore.

Tanya Burr Soft Luxe Swatches and Review

I've been testing these beautiful Tanya Burr products out for a while now so I can give a good review of them. The colour choice is so good, you can easily go from day to night with them by smoking them up a bit more with the darker shades.

This is the Birthday Suit palate the colours go in this order; Marzipan, Toast, Cocoa Sugar and Soft Truffle. I would say this is more of an everyday palate than the other in the collection but you could still go darker by using more of Soft Truffle. Really good pigmentation and glittery shades are so pretty.






This is the Enchanted Dream palate the shades are; Moonlit Walk, Cocoa Plum, Berry Soufflé and Magic Carpet. I followed Tanya's tutorial when I first received the palate and the colours are so pretty together and I've worn the look a lot. The pigment playoff is really great with these products.





I also picked up one of the matte lip colours in Martha Moo, its like your natural lip colour but better. This stays on forever, I wore it on holiday in Italy in amongst eating loads of pasta this stayed put like a pro! I was really happy with this product, it is a tad fiddly to apply but the applicator is pretty good.


Overall I would thoroughly recommend these products, the pricing is great and pigment payoff is brilliant. They're available on Feel Unique and Superdrug. I even managed to get mine on 3 for 2 with Superdrug so look out for offers!
