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.

Christmas in London and Favourite TV Shows

So it's no surprise (or maybe it is...well at least to some of you) that I am in love with anything and everything from the UK, from bloggers, youtubers, singers, bands, clothing, make up and stores. Just the whole entire UK in general! So it's no wonder that even while it's going to be blistering hot here in Sydney for Christmas I am in fact dreaming of a white Christmas (no pun intended) in London.
So basically all my wallpapers and everything Christmasy in my life is revolving around snow and the Uk. Yup. Addicted.

So while I should be celebrating spring and summer (which I love) I am in fact watching so many Zoella and Tanya videos that I feel like I'm getting prepared for a beautiful cold Christmas but in reality all I am preparing myself for is sweating. a lot of sweating. Ew. Santa hats in 40 degree weather just never seem to work out.

So before we move onto the next topic I'll leave you all with two pictures;


This is where I wish I was spending Christmas, walking near the London Eye.


And here is the reality. I give you; Christmas in Australia.

Okay moving on!
Next topic! My Favourite TV Shows of the moment, you might want to take a seat, grab a cup of tea, maybe hot chocolate or even something cold depending where you are while reading, there is quite a few!


The Originals
This show is my addiction! Every episode leaves me hanging on, and I am ashamed to admit that I thought the show would be awful, how completely wrong I was! Klaus (Joseph Morgan) is amazing, even while being an evil bastard he still manages to seduce you through the screen and can we mention two Aussie actresses are in this show! Claire Holt and Phoebe Tonkin! I hadn't seen much of them since H2O which was one of my favourite shows back in the day.
If you haven't already checked this show out, I suggest you do!



Reign
I was addicted to this show since before it aired, I had seen the promo and I couldn't wait for it to come out! Now that is has, it has me more hooked than before. If you like history but like a bit of extra drama this show is for you! Although it stays from actual history is is amazing  and I must admit I do prefer the show to the actual story. Mary, Francis, Bash... Can you say love?



Arrow
I've watched Arrow for awhile now and boy am I glad it's back, I missed my weekly fix of superheros and shirtless Oliver Queen. No but seriously this show is really good and I think both genders would enjoy it. There's not much more to say other than WATCH IT!



Grimm
Grimm... Well if you're not into superheros, you might be into fairytales or both! This show is a good mix of drama, fairytales, demons and crime. It took me a few episode to get hooked but boy, once I was hooked, I surrendered myself.



Revenge
A favourite of mine since the beginning, I even got my parents into this show, they're addicted too in case you're wondering! Emily Thorne and her plot for Revenge is refreshing as it sometimes makes me wonder about the lengths people go in this world to get what they want. I say, if you already haven't go and watch it, it gets better and better!



The Vampire Diaries
No surprises here, Girl meets Boy, boy likes girl, girl likes boy, oh did we mention a smoking hot brother?
I'm pretty sure everyone has already heard of this show.



Glee
Classic, simple, musical comedy.
RIP Corey Monteith.



Ravenswood
The newest show on my list, again, I have to admit I thought it would suck, but amazingly, it's pretty good, although some of the acting is a bit off sometimes. It's more supernatural themed than it's sister show Pretty Little Liars.



Pretty Little Liars
5 beautiful best friends, 1 dead. Mystery, Suspense.
A is watching.



Twisted
This show is aimed more towards teens but I still enjoyed the drama of it all. I can't say too much else as there hasn't been too many episodes, but hey! great time to catch up! as it has been confirmed that there will be more episodes!



Once Upon a Time
Another Fairytale based show, however this one is a bit more light hearted, although the character twists are amazing and I love the fact that Snow white isn't so fragile, she's tough. Ginnifer Goodwin is amazing.



Hart of Dixie
A light hearted Comedy, if you like Taylor swift, and you liked the OC, watch this.



So here are just some of my current favs.
Let me know what shows you've watched, which you like, which you don't!
