Tanya Burr Lip Gloss


Hello beauties, I bet you were all wondering how long it would take me to review these babies, I only purchased these little beauties this weekend so this isn't going to be a full review more of a first impressions post really. If you'd like a full review in the future do let me know in the comments below.

Tanya Burrs Lips and Nails, if you haven’t heard about these little beauties yet then you honestly must be living under a rock. I wanted every single shade as soon as they came out but as you may or may not know I already have A LOT of lip products and stayed strong because I knew I didn’t need any more that was until Megan Godwin from Beautiful You came to visit and she is honestly the worst enabler I have ever met, we were shopping in Westfield’s over the weekend and popped into Superdrug to pick up some sun screen and headed straight to the Tanya Burr display.

Megan has all 12 colours so was able to tell me about each and every one and which one she thought would suit me. Originally I was only going to pick up 2 just to try them out but there were 3 for 2 offers on in Superdrug so I couldn’t say no. 

There are 12 creams and shimmer lip glosses to choose from, Megan had mentioned that Picnic in the Park was her favourite, this shade is a bubble-gum Barbie pink and it definitely would have been my first choice but unfortunately it was sold out so I will have to pick it up at some other stage. I opted for Champagne Toast, Chic and Exotic Island. All of the names were picked personally by Tanya which is such a lovely touch and you can really tell a lot of thought, hard work and effort has gone into the production of these glosses.

The texture of these glosses is super creamy, pigmented and they are not even remotely sticky.  I love that even though they are so pigmented you can still wear them sheer with a smaller amount applied.

You can layer these glosses to make them really pigmented but you will risk it looking a little patchy as I have noticed with the darker colour I picked up “Exotic Island”, it is probably my least favourite just because it is a little too “loud” for me although when worn sheer or over a pink lipstick it does look very pretty.

Chic is a gorgeous pinky nude and is probably my favourite out of the shades I picked up, it's just the perfect everyday shade and I have to mention all of these glosses smell incredible. They have a sweet smell, I wouldn't say the scent is too strong but if you’re not a fan of scented lip products then that's something to bare in mind.

Overall these glosses are pretty amazing and for just £6.99 you can't go wrong, I definitely want to try more of the shades.

I love seeing how a gloss looks on before purchasing and to be honest the swatch colours on the website are a lot darker than what the shades are in real life so I am so glad I was lucky enough to have Megan swatch all her colours for me before she left so I know exactly what shades I want to pick up next (Thanks Meg).


Did you give into temptation and buy some of Tanyas products? What are your thoughts so far?
