Tanya Burr Lip Gloss in Vampire Kiss

Tanya Burr Lip Gloss - Vampire Kiss: Feel Unique

I actually picked up a few from Tanya Burr's lip gloss range when they were initially released, but I thought I would give you the low down on my favourite colour so far - Vampire Kiss! I am a huge fan of a red lip, but usually stray away from lip glosses and go for lip sticks as they usually have much better staying power. Having said that, Tanya's lip glosses have knocked it out the park!

The first thing I thought of when I opened the tube was the gorgeous strawberry fruity smell the gloss has! It reminds me of a mixture of strawberry laces and my favourite fruit flavoured lip glosses I had when I was younger! it's a very nostalgic smell, but also very yummy! 

When applying, the thick, flexible applicator makes it easy to get good coverage on your first application and reach easily into the corners of your lips. After a couple of coats I was very happy with the colour pay off! I was actually astonished at how bold the colour was, as I've never experienced such a pigmented red gloss before!

The formula isn't drying at all, and feels comfortably on your lips after its dried. Another bonus is that the tube holds a lot of gloss, so you definitely get value for money!

Overall, I would definitely recommend Tanya's lip glosses range, especially Vampire Kiss! I am definitely keen now to try out her nail varnishes! Have you tried any of Tanya Burr's range? Let me know your thoughts and recommendations!

How to: Applying Clip In Hair Extensions (Video)

So, I've uploaded another YouTube video for you all, this time on how I put in my hair extensions! It's come out a little over exposed which has annoyed me, you just can't rely on technology to be consistent I swear -_-

Anyway, I hope some of you will find this useful and if you have any questions about hair extensions then don't hesitate to ask! Oh, and don't forget to watch in 720P HD! ;)

Collective Haul (Video)

I went shopping yesterday, after being paid for my Easter stint at Thorntons! So, I filmed a haul video so I could share the bits I picked up with all my lovely followers! 

Real Techniques Core Collection (Video)

So, the other week I FINALLY got my mits on the Real Techniques Core Collection! Huzzar! I was getting so, so jealous of seeing youtube videos and blog posts with ladies flaunting their beautiful make up brushes, so I  eventually (and inevitably) cracked!

Essentially, I only brought the set for the buffing brush, after wanting the Sigma F80 for a lifetime, I was convinced otherwise by many a blog post. Plus, I figured for £21.99, you get a lot more for your money as you're getting four lovely new brushes.

The Core Collection includes (if you didn't already know) the detailer brush, foundation brush, contour brush and buffing brush. They come with a handy little travel case which also acts as a stand, with spaces for other brushes. Each brush has a rubber base so they can also stand alone, which is an interesting feature.

I've tried out the detailer brush, it's kind of little so I used it with concealer but didn't really feel like I reaped the benefits. So, I don't really know what do to with it? Any suggestions? I've heard it can be used for lip lining so may give it a clean and try that out! The foundation brush I haven't tried, as it's all about the buffing brush to be honest!

I really do adore the buffing brush. It makes foundation application very easy and also means I don't get it all over my hands, and then all over my other products...and clothes. I don't really get that 'airbrushed' look that everyone's been going on about, but nevertheless I do like the effect and coverage it provides me with and by buffing the make up, it means no lines or patchiness!

The contour brush is amazing too. It has a pointed, round shape to it which makes contouring and highlighting surprisingly easy. It's small size means you can get right into the hollows of your cheeks, and apply with precision meaning you don't end up with clouds of bronze all up the sides of your face!

Overall, I'm so pleased I gave in and purchased the Core Collection. They're so, so soft and so practical. A must have for any make up enthusiast. 

Below is my second YouTube video! It's a 'get ready with me' video, in which I will incorporate me using my two favourite brushes from the collection; you guessed it - the buffing and contour brushes! I hope you enjoy it!

P.S. Thanks for all the encouragement and kind words on my first video, you have inspired me to keep it up!

I'm on Youtube!

Hey loves, I've just uploaded my first youtube video! You can watch it here! I decided to make it on how I do my hair,

I am a little nervous of what people's reactions will be, but hopefully you will all like it! Thanks so much to my followers for their continuing support on my blog, I really do appreciate it so much.
