TANYA BURR COSMETICS

I've always followed Tanya's youtube channel so I was really excited when I found out she was releasing a Lip Gloss and Nail Polish range.
Personally I haven't tried her any of nail polishes. As a beautician, I always have shellac on so never buy nail polish for myself.
I only have nine of her glosses, But I'm really impressed.
The formula is lovely, really creamy and pigmented! (Plus they smell Uh-Mazing)


I bought my glosses from Superdrug and off FeelUnique.com
However, I stupidly ordered my package twice from Feel Unique so have doubles of some of the colours.



Bottom to top / Just Peachy, First Date, Afternoon tea, Aurora, Picnic in the Park,
Sparkling Dewdrops, Aphrodite.

My favourites are Afternoon Tea and Picnic in the Park. If I'm honest 'I'm not a huge fan of Just Peachy or First Date, They are way to light for my skin tone. Also because they are so pigmented, I can't even apply a light layer so I don't get much use out of those two.

I purposely took pictures of them on my lips so you could see what they're like on the lips.
(top two - Just Peachy & First Date)




I only have a small collection so far but will definitely buy more.
 They are only 6.99 each which I think is affordable, especially for the quality of the product! I hope this was helpful in any way.

MY INTRO

So I've finally started a Blog! 
I'm a Beauty Therapist so naturally I'm obsessed with Beauty Blogger/Youtubers and have always wanted to start something of my own, so here I am!
I've had my own Business 'The Beauty Room' for a few years now but have also done work in other salons alongside that. 
I've recently left the last salon to work for myself full time but I'm very lucky to have gained all the experience I have from these places! 



I had done my first (very basic) make-up course thats included in the NVQ Lvl 2 & 3 Beauty Therapy but as expected... It was pants. It wasn't until my first job in a salon where I worked alongside a very experienced Chanel makeup artist that I realised my passion!

I trained with ARTDECO and became the salons makeup artist, loved every minute.
Once i'd left there I opened The Beauty Room where I work from a lovely little room in my home that we converted. Soon after that I was approached by another salon asking me to work for them. Here I was given the opportunity to work alongside makeup artists who had worked at The Clothes Show on celebs such as Amy Childs, Jess Wright and lots of models...I snatched that up.
I gained so much experience there and it introduced me to Photoshoots and Media makeup. I trained with HD Brows makeup range which is fantastic. I am a trained HD Brow stylist so I already had some experience with their brow products and the full make-up range certainly didn't disappoint. 
I've been in the trade 3 or 4 years now and I'm enjoying learning new things everyday!

I am majorly inspired by a lot of beauty gurus. Some of my faves are Pixiwoo, Tanya Burr, Carli Bybel, BeautyCrush, Essie Button... Theres too many to remember!


I won't be rambling as much on my other posts, (sorry)
and I look forward to Blogging!
