Tanya Burr: Lip Gloss and Nail Varnish Review

After a VERY long 3 week delivery wait, goddamn you Feel Unique, my Tanya Burr Lip Gloss and Nail Varnish finally asrrived- woo hoo! So here we go...

Vampire Kiss, £6.99

This colour is certainly darker than the camera captures, it's highly pigmented and not too sticky. The colour is a solid dark red which is buildable without getting thick and heavy, you can wear little for a hint of red or add a full coat for a very pigmented red colour. I wore the lip gloss alone, however, I think I might put a lip liner on underneath for a fuller colour and better lasting power (these do last a good hour or two on their own though, better than most!)

Who else hates sticky lipgloss? I know I'm not alone here. In England, our weather has been super windy and hairy lip gloss lips are not attractive! At first my hair did stick a bit but after, I had no problems and it was still glossy and shiny.

The second lip gloss colour I ordered was Aurora. This is a pale, nude pink with a sort of silver very fine glitter. Both glosses I ordered are cream lip glosses (there are shinier ones) and therefore, they are both similar in formula.

I'm not normally one for pink or glosses and I think that's due to never finding one that suits me. So, if you're in the same position, BRAVE IT! I did and I do no look back, I love these lip glosses so much and I will definitely be buying more colours.

 Next from the Tanya Burr collection I bought two nail polishes which you can buy from the same stores and are £5.99 each. This nail varnish is in the shade Penguin Chic and may I add, I love the name of her whole collection, its based on her favourite things and somehow, the match colours perfectly - such a clever idea.

Penguin Chic is a lovely grey/taupe colour but I think it's a bit like Marmite, you either love it or hate it. My mum hates it and I love it!

The formula is very creamy and easy to apply, it dries amazingly quickly but you do need two coats which is pretty normal anyway. The finish is extremely shiny and I love it. I have worn this nail varnish for a good week without it chipping. AMAZING.

The second colour I added to my large nail varnish collection is Midnight Sparkles which is a very dark purple with lighter purple flecks of glitter. In dim lighting it can look black but in daylight and good lighting, its very purple and sparkly. 

Even though they're from the same collection, the formula, to me, is different. It may be the glitter or maybe I got a dodgy nail varnish? But when applying, it seems too thick and almost gooey, ikkkk, and the first coat is always VERY uneven.. Also, it seems to chip quicker. But, the colour certainly makes it worth its flaws.

Here are a few more pictures of the packaging and the lip gloss applicator (which is also great too).

Thank you for reading and let me know your favourites! And if you haven't tried these products, I highly recommend them.
