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!

Sephora Collection Rouge Cream Lipstick


Recently, I visited the sunny lands of Barcelona, and while I was there I was pleasantly greeted by Sephora! This was my first Sephora experience, and it was safe to say it's definitely a beautiful place to be! Going into winter, I thought it would be a good idea to sample the lipsticks they had to offer and pick my go-to shade this winter! Having said that, I'm very pleased with my choice! When I picked 'Sexy Game', I very much had in mind L'Oreal Color Riche in 'Plum Passion' (reviewed here) and Mac's 'Rebel' - my two favourite lipsticks last winter. Deep rouges are definitely my favourite lip colours in general. i adore the boldness and the way these shades can instantly revamp a simple make up look. 

'Sexy Game' is a deep, rosey red shade, full with colour and impact. The colour pay off is outstanding, so application is quick when achieving a bold colour. The lipstick itself is soft and hydrating - exactly what i look for in a lipstick, so I would definitely recommend to those with dryer lips. 

Overall, I'm really impressed by Sephora's lipstick and i honestly can't wait for my next trip to stock up on more! What are your go to winter lipstick shades? I'd love to get some more inspiration! Also, have you been to Sephora? Are there any other products you'd recommend?
