Its that time of year again, when we all bring out our festive red lip. I'm a big fan of a bit of rouge, HOWEVER, if you have read my Beauty Blunders post over on thenellybean blog. Then you will know the struggle I have had finding the perfect product to create my look.

I have tried out so many red lip products, but today I am reviewing FIVE, including; Rimmel, Tanya Burr, Ted Baker, NYX, and MUA-a real mix of Highstreet and High End products at a variety of prices, to help you make the best choice.

I've also been shopping my stash and bringing out some old faithfuls-Like my Urban Decay eye shadow palette, and my Cath Kidstone Mug.

Tanya Burr Goodie Bag Sneak Peak and Review

As I'm sure many of you are aware, I visited the Tanya Burr Chocolate Box Studio, and got to take away a goody bag filled with some of the best bits from Tans new product range!

For todays post I thought I would share with you what I got and my thoughts on the products.

I left this post until after my post about the day (Find out what I got up to here) as I really wanted to try the products and give my honest opinion on them.

After trying them ALL I have to say there isnt one I love more than the others. As I said in my previous post the longevity of Tans products is fantastic, and a real seller for the price point.
SO LETs GET TO IT:

TB VELVET VANILLE:

With vanilla in the title, I was expecting an overwhelming sweetness to this perfume, something that it very easy for brands to do when producing scents. NOT TB. Tanyas perfume is elegant and mature with subtle sweetness and a hint of spice to add a sexiness to the aroma. 

Selfie LASH:

This mascara is beautifully made and perfect for lengthening your lashes. The head prevents clumping and it applys easily. This is the one product I do have to touch up, but concidering the price and application, its something I will take, and I'll definately be getting another of these for when I run out!

TANYA BURR FACE ILLUMINATOR:

I have been mixing this with my foundation to provide that extra glow, and BOY I love it!! It works perfectly at giving a dewy finish, without looking glittery! 

The make-up artist at the event also told us to use this as a touch up, patting over make-up to produce a glowing look taking you from day to evening!

Tanya Burr-Sunday Walk 

If there is one thing I love about TANS products is their names. Sunday walk is perfect for an autumn nude, is there anything cosier than a sunday morning walk through the golden autumn leaves before a glorious sunday roast? 

This lipstick is just that, cosy. If you can call a colour cosy? Its warm and nude and perfect for day or night. Excellent staying power and perfect coverage and pigment make it an absolute favorite of mine. 

Tanya Burr-Enchanted Dream

This eye shadow palette is the perfect day to night palette. Small enough to fit in your bag the light nudes are perfect for a chic day time look. Blend a little Purple in your crease and your good to party the night away. 

Also can we please appreciate Tans FAB naming again with these:

Moonlit Walk

Cocoa Pumb

Berry Soufle 

and

Magic Marpet 

What is your favorite piece? 

Have you ever tried any TB products and if so which ones? 

I'd love to know your thoughts! 

Come with me: Tanya Burr Chocolate Box Studio Event

Yesterday was one of the most exciting days of this year.

I got up bright and early and headed off to Knightsbridge to the Tanya Burr Chocolate Box Studio in Harvey Nichols.

Once there, we were led in groups up to the 5th floor, where we entered into the beautiful and christmassy world of Tanya Burr Cosmetics. The room was done out beautifully, think insta worthy wall displays, a huge Tanya Burr advent Calendar and a TB light-box to get pictures with.

Stands with beautifully produced product displays, showing off the Christmas and Selfie Story ranges lined the outside of the room, whilst make up artist stands stood in the center, where we had our very own TB make over.

I will do a separate review of my goodie bag products and a break down of the ranges, but I will just comment on the longevity of these products, which is incredible. I had my make up done at about 10 am and it lasted all day, whilst I strolled London got the train and did obligatory shopping. It also took me on a night out last night too, with just a powder touch up!

Tanya also had her very own Truffle stand, with a gorgeous array of chocolate delights!

I was super lucky to make a friend in Carmen, whilst at the event, who I had so much in common with. I love finding like minded people and we laughed the morning away, and even had a cheeky look around Harvey Nichols afterwards, before going for coffee (think pumpkin spice flat white in pret).

I'm definitely one of those people who gets excited at the small things and trying the new pumpkin spice flat white in Pret was one of them. I was so pumped to try it and although I'm not sure it competes with the pumpkin spice latte from starbs, it was lovely.

I hope you enjoy a few photos from the day! Pop back Tuesday for my goodie bag review and a break down of the new Tanya Burr range!

Happy Sunday Lovelies xx
