February Favs!

Hello!
It's that time of the month again! time for some favourites!
February seemed to fly past! I can't believe we're already in March! Seems like this year is going to fly by, it'll be 2015 before I even know it.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves now, lets take a look at what products I've loved this month;


(From left to right; Rimmel Salon Pro Kate Nail Varnish in 'Rock n Roll', Sally Hansen complete salon manicure in 'Plums the Word', Tanya Burr Lip gloss in 'Champagne Toast', Maybelline Master precise liquid liner, Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in '107', Maybelline The Falsies mascara, Nivea lip butter in 'Caramel cream')

I've really been loving nail polish in February, I stopped getting shellac nails and started painting my own and there's been two colours I've been wearing non stop which have been getting me into the Autumn/Winter season that has begun to hit Australia. Two colours that scream winter to me are reds and plums, they are basically all I wear on my nails other than a neutral colour every now and then. 
Rimmel has really been on the ball recently and I've been obsessing over their products but I have usually over looked their nail polishes but once I saw the beautiful rich red colour from their Kate moss line I couldn't help myself. The colour is called 'Rock n Roll' which I think suits the varnish perfectly, it's the kind of colour I'd imagine Demi Lovato wearing while rocking out. I think Rimmel did an amazing job with their polish as it look like gel polish while it's on and the brush is very similar to the Sally Hansen brush, (looks like a paddle) which I love as it makes painting your nails easier. It's definitely worth adding to your collection, I'm thinking about trying out some more! 
The second polish is from the Sally Hansen complete salon manicure line, it's called 'Plums the Word' which as you can probably guess from the name is a beautiful Plum colour. I really like this colour it's a bit unusual but it just looks amazing on the nails, it's plum but more of a grey plum so it sort of just goes with anything you have on. The brush on the complete salon manicure line is just great, as I mentioned above with the Rimmel polish which is very similar, it looks like a paddle which makes getting an even coat of polish easy peasy. A really good colour to add to your winter nail polishes if you don't already own it.

I've been going pretty simple on the eyes this last month just a winged eye liner and mascara and the two products which have helped me achieve the look I wanted were; the Maybelline the Falsies mascara, which if you haven't tried I really recommend it! I can't rave about it enough, I always get compliments on my lashes when I wear it, and the Maybelline Master Precise Liquid liner which is possibly the best liquid liner I've ever used. It's a felt tip liner and has a super fine tip so that you can do thin or thick lines. It makes doing a cat eye super simple and if you want to go super crazy and do some detail work around your eyes it's great for that too!

The last three products are for your lips (mwah!) and they're what I've been using on mine. 
Nivea recently came out with their very own lip butters which come in quite a couple scents, including a non scented one for those of you who have a reaction to scents. I picked up the caramel cream scent which just smells absolutely divine! I can't really explain the scent other than it's sort of what I imagine butter beer to taste like. I usually put this on before bed as it can give of a white cast on your lips if you use a bit too much, which is really the only downside as I find this very hydrating.

The next lip product is a gloss from the Tanya Burr line (Champagne Toast), which I have a full first impression review on my blog, check it out if you haven't already. It's just a beautiful gloss with a slight colour that just looks amazing and is not sticky at all. It's been on my lips constantly this month and I've gotten loads of compliments on it, did I mention it smells like strawberries and cream? Yum.

If I wasn't wearing my Tanya Burr Lipgloss I've been wearing my Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in '107'. A Beautiful deep wine red, which I think would suit many different skin tones, it's matte but not drying and just feels great on the lips. It also smells like lollies when you apply it which makes reapplying a dream. A great colour to have for this coming winter season!

So those were my Feb Favs! I hope you enjoyed reading about them.

First Impression; Tanya Burr Lipgloss!


Hi Guys!
I am so unbelievably excited! My Tanya Burr Lipgloss arrived in the mail today! I ordered the lipgloss 'Champagne Toast' as soon as they were released at about 2 am AEST.
I've had this gloss for about an hour now and am currently wearing it while I write this post!

First off let me just say how proud I am of Tanya! You are amazing and inspirational and I admire you! If you don't know who Tanya is, she is a Beauty, Fashion and Lifestyle blogger plus Youtube Celebrity. She creates easy to follow/recreate make up tutorials as well as vlogs with her fiance Jim Chapman (also a Youtube Celebrity) and of course she has a beauty blog. 
Tanya has teamed up with EyeCandy for the release of her products and has created 12 Lipglosses and 10 Nail polishes, all in beautiful colours. You're bound to find a colour you love, or two...!
Now that you know who Tanya is, let's get on with the Review!

First off this is my first time ordering off feelunique.com and I am pleased with their service, their shipping fees are low which is great when you live in Australia since usually you pay more for shipping than a product itself! I paid $14 dollars for the Gloss and $3 for shipping.
I really wanted a nail polish from the collection but unfortunately it said we were unable to get it shipped here, I'm not quite sure if that's due to our policies or theirs but hopefully it will be fixed soon.
I was obviously able to choose a Lip gloss, however there were so many pretty colours it was difficult to just buy one (for now) but I settled on 'Champagne Toast' as I don't have any lip product in that colour.



What Tanya says;
"I hope you love my range of glossy, chic and pretty lipglosses. I had such an amazing time designing them!"

What the product claims;
- Super Moisturising
- Incredible Shine
- Rich Beautiful Colour

What I say;
I hate sticky gloss. In fact I usually stay away from lip gloss for that particular reason, however after recently trying some W7 glosses that weren't sticky I've been wearing it a lot more often. I have also watched Tanya for a while now and have literally watched all her videos and have seen how pretty lipglosses can be; Tanya has inspired me to branch out and try some gloss.

Champagne Toast is a beautiful peachy nude colour that is sheer but still adds colour without overpowering your natural lip colour. I feel like lots of people would love this colour, and I mean c'mon it has an adorable name! The gloss is NOT STICKY! hooray! and of course beautifully glossy, it makes your lips look amazing.
Packaging wise it's very cute, it's easy to see the colour if you were to have it stored in a draw & it has Tanya's name as well as a cute heart on the top of the lid.
The applicator is great, it's a doe foot applicator but it sort of just hugs your lips and dispenses the product evenly, it has a paddle shape.

I would also like to mention the product smells amazing, like some sort of lollies, which makes it a pleasure to put on, however the smell is not overpowering, once its on your lips the smell goes away.

Over all I'm so pleased with my purchase and can't wait to try out more colours from the range.
I hope Tanya comes out with more products and I fully support her!

5/5.
