Boots Bits

If there is one thing all my friends and family know about me its my love of Boots. It is like a drugstore for any Americans, it does cheaper brands and more expensive like Chanel and YSL. I love it because I can collect my points and then when I have built up enough buy a product thats a bit out my price range. On pay day Boots is always my first point of call. So here is a little haul from Boots today. Oh and I bought my first items to take to Texas with me next Month. 

I had run out of two of my favourite essentials, if you have read any of my other blog posts you will know that I LOVE both the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer and Sally Hansen Insta-dri topcoat. Getting something I love is always just as exciting as something I have never tried, these are staples in my makeup collection, I was feeling a bit bear without them. 

Real Techniques brushes are by far some of my favourites and I have been dying to try the new ones, so I got the retractable bronzer brush which looks amazing and the retractable lip brush too, I cannot wait to use them. 

Boots had a '3for2' offer on so to go with my brushes and get for free I got some new Essie nail varnishes in the colours 'mint candy apple' and 'sparkle on top'. I so exciting for these vibrant colours and sparkles for spring. And then to pair with my insta-dri and concealer I got a new Revlon lip butter in the colour 'wild watermelon'. *everything has such cute names*

I was then a bit boring and got some toothpaste and mouthwash, which although not fun is an essential. I really love the Colgate 'Max One White', it makes my mouth feel super clean. 

I haven't been properly abroad since I went travelling almost 3 years ago, but I am going to Texas in a months time. SO EXCITED. And today I bought some clear travel bottles, its such a silly little thing to get excited about. There were £1 each for a set from Primark, I am going to use some for the plane and then some for my suitcase when I don't want to take the giant bottles. It is only a six day trip so I won't need masses. 

Sorry for the short post, and the lack of posts recently but I will be back next week with my Feb Favourites woo yea.

Special Delivery: Tanya Burr Makeup Review

Tanya Burr perhaps started me on my beauty blogging track, after watching her videos for a few years my love of makeup grew and I wanted to share that by beauty blogging. When Tanya announced her lipgloss and nail varnish collection I could not have been more excited, so on Thursday January 30th when they launched on feelunique.com I ordered one of each, so excited to try them for myself. Due the crazy fast rate at which they sold my delivery got pushed back, so almost two weeks later I got them in the post.

I chose to go for the Champagne Toast lipgloss for many reasons, including the fact champagne is one of the only alcoholic drinks I actually like (yes I am that girl) but also because I have been in need of my sparkly nude lipgloss for a while so it seemed like the perfect choice. In the nail varnish I went for Mini Marshmallows, I thought as I have so many nail varnishes it was important to get one that was ready for spring and who doesn't love pastel pink in spring.

I love the packaging of this, it looks sleek and clean and shows the colour of the product which is always helpful. The little pink heart at the top is super cute too. The formulation of the lipgloss is really nice, it is super glossy and shiny. It is neither too thick and sticky or too runny, it just glides on beautifully. I love this colour it is shiny and clear but the glitter creates a lovely colour on the lips, it is note quite a nude/peachy as it look in the tube but I still love the colour. It also smells fabulous which is a lovely added bonus and the applicator makes applying the lipgloss effortless! Top notch Tan.

Again the packaging of this is just so super cute. I was slightly worried I had bought a colour really similar to the one I have been wearing this week coincidentally OPIs - Panda-monium but actually somehow this is so different. It is a much thiner formulation that creates a shiny and more gel like look. Although I say thiner it still only needs a couple of coats to be wearable and if you wanted one coat would be good for the base layer of a french manicure!

I was sure I would love both of the products because Tanya knows what to look for in a great makeup product, I was not wrong I love both of them and I can't wait to get more of each.

Well done Tanya, you have achieved great things doll.
