Tanya Burr Nail Polish




I'm not the type of person who will buy a product just because a 'celebrity' has their name on it or is the face of the brand but I'm also not going to avoid the products for the same reason. So when I kept hearing great things about the new Tanya Burr range I had to check them out. 

Immediately there was a couple of nail polish's which stood out and this is one of them. This is the shade 'Fairy Godmother' and I can honestly say it is my all time favourite nail polish colour which I've ever used. In the bottle is looks like a beautiful lilac shade and when I first applied it that's exactly how it seemed but in different lighting it kinda looks like a gorgeous pale sky blue. I have never liked the thought of having blue nails but this shade has changed my mind. I just LOVE it!!! Mostly because it reminds me of Cinderella....

Enough about the shade though and more about the formula! For me it's slightly too much on the wet and thin side of things which isn't a major issue but means that I do 3 layers to make sure I get the most of the perfect colour. However, once you've managed to apply it evenly- which is pretty easy with the brush- it does stick around for 3 or 4 days chip free.

All in all I love this nail polish and it is currently my favourite! I have one more shade from the range which I was going to talk about here but I think it deserves a post of it's own so keep a look out for that!

Brand Spotlight- No7




Recently I was looking through my previous posts and I noticed that there's a lot of brands which have popped up quite a few times. So I thought I would round up these posts and put them altogether for you so that you can explore and understand a brand more thoroughly and easily.

So the spotlight this time is on No7!

I've used No7 for both make-up and skincare and love them for both. The products are gentle, so work well with sensitive skin, and are also very affordable as they often do vouchers in Boots for either £3 or £5 off!

So if you fancy finding out more and any of the products just click their links below to be directed straight to their post.

Make-up
Skincare
So after writing so many posts on No7 you can kinda guess that I'm a big fan! Hope this kind of blog was helpful!? 
Also please excuse some of the blogs- they are from quite a while ago- before I really knew what I was doing!!!

Empties #6






It's that time again when my 'used products' box is getting a little bit too full and so here is a list of products which I have used up within the past month;

The Body Shop Early-Harvest Raspberry Body Scrub- I LOVED this! I got it in the sale- which means I love it even more!- and I'd never heard of it before so didn't have very high expectations. However, as soon as I opened the lid I was in love. The smell was just gorgeous, the texture was amazing- SO jelly like- and with the use of real raspberry seeds is was a beautifully rough scrub that left the skin feeling and smelling beyond amazing

The Body Shop Vitamin E Overnight Serum-In-Oil- I think this is the second one I'ved used up and I'm still continuing to love and repurchase this! Full blog on it here.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Eye Cream- Wow- another body shop product that's been used up! Again, I LOVED this and have blogged about it here.

This Body Shop Seaweed Clarifying Tonic- This is the last Body Shop product now I promise! The lovely sales assistant recommended this to me as I have oily/combo skin and I did really enjoy using it. It had a lovely cooling sensation and didn't dry my skin out at all which I find a lot of other toners for oily skin can do

MAC Fix+ - I've used this constantly for the past few years and love using it after applying make-up. I find it helps my make-up stay in place and the general condition of my skin seems better when I use it. I'm not sure what they've put in it but my skin just seems to love it.

No7 Instant Radiance Concealer- I have this in a lighter shade than my skin tone so that I can use it as a brightener under my eyes. So I've got the shade '10' and I really did love it. Compared to the 'YSL Touche Eclat' it's extremely similar but I would say this has more coverage whereas the Touche Eclat has more of a brightening and luminous affect. This one from No7 though is a great alternative for a cheaper option!

And that's it! You've made it to the end of another long empties list! Let me know what's been you're favourite product you've used up recently!
