emmalanglands: tanya burr

This post may be a bit late since her new collection was released a few weeks ago but it was my birthday and then I, unfortunately, I got an ear infection/sinusitis and was laid up on the sofa.

However, I always get excited when bloggers/YouTubers release beauty products! I feel like I need to support them in the products they bring out, Tanya Burr being no different!

I picked up a few products of her new Soft Luxe Collection and I thought I would share what I got and how much I liked them.

The first product I picked up, my favourite, was the Enchanted Dreams Eye Pallette. It has 4 gorgeous colours, 'Moonlit Walk' (shimmer), 'Cocoa Plus'(shimmer), 'Berry Souffle'(Matte) and 'Magic Carpet'(matte).

I love the mixture of matte and shimmer shades and will be great for a smokey eye. Just like Tanya's palettes, the colours are very pigmented and blend very well. The palette is completely affordable and easy to get your hands on.

Next up, is the Soft Luxe Lipgloss, this was the product I was most excited about. During, the ongoing hype of Kylie LipKits, I think it was great Tanya brought out a more affordable matte lipgloss. I bought the colour 'Puppy Paws' thinking it was going to be a cute pink. However, I will say it is very bright, too bright for my skin colour and I won't actually wear it.

I am quite annoyed I picked up this colour as the formula is great, a thin layer goes a long way and the staying power is fab. I have heard great things about 'Martha Moo' so definitely check it out.

Lastly, is her Matte Nail Polish in the shade 'Soft Pyjamas', Now I am not 100% sure on matte nails, I think it looks pretty, however, I have long nails and I find it chips easily.

Nevertheless, I picked up this gorgeous grey/lilac colour. The colour is very neutral but I feel that it will go with everything. I haven't actually worn it as matte, as like I said I am just not sure. I did put a top coat over it but it dried quickly and the matte effect was lovely.

The overall collection is perfect, the packaging is darling and think my favourite. The products themselves are fab and the prices are amazing.

If you are in Superdrug or browsing on FeelUnique definitely pop them in your basket.

Make sure to check out my last Tanya Cosmetics review!

Hope you are having a fab day, Let me what your favourite products are?

Wow, I can't believe that I am writing my September favourites. How fast has Autumn came?
However I am definitely not complaining.
Here is a collection of my September favs!

Beauty.

Revlon ColourBurst.

I was ordering a few products online and came across that these were on offer. I have never really fancied trying these before but I want to broaden my lip collection so I ordered two..

Elusive and Shameless.

Elusive is my typical colour, a very pretty nude pink whereas Shameless is a purple which has been very useful coming into the autumn.

I love the velvety matte texture of the lip crayon, it makes my lips feel super soft and moistured.

'Berry'

Tanya Burr Galaxy Palette

This palette screams Autumn. It has the most gorgeous gold shades and is perfect for Autumn looks.

I have been grabbing this a lot this month.

I did a review on this here

Gel Sensational nails

I go through phases of loving painting my nails and then hating painting them.

Right now I am going through the phase of loving having shellac nails.

I got this kit for my Christmas last year, it does take longer to do but it is totally worth it.

It doesn't chip and you don't have to wait on it to dry.

Black, Coral and Berry have been my go to colours.

Fashion

I am planning a full Autumn/Winter fashion favourites so keep a eye out of that.

But this month I have been loving been able to wear my scarf, I purchased this scarf at the start of the year from H&M and I love it. It is so soft and I love the colours. It is a must have for this season.

How cute are these?

Primark Pjs

I have been needing to clear my old pyjamas out for a long time but I haven't found the perfect pair to replace them. So when my sister and I went for a shopping trip, I popped into to Primark.

I am not a big Primark lover anymore but I am really impressed with their nightwear section.

I opted for two sets.

This is my favourite as I like to think I am a princess ;)

Whereas the other set was a maroon Bambi set, I love the colour and it is perfect for winter.

Both are super comfy and very cosy.

Non-Specfic

Gabrielle Aplin- Light Up the Dark

If you haven't heard of Gabrielle you 100% have too. I have a massive for a long time and I am so proud that she released her new album this month.

I absolutely love it, it has more a pop/rock vibes but it fits her voice so well.

I am also excited that tonight I will be attending her gig :)

Check her out.

www.gabrielleaplin.co.uk

The best meal I have ever cooked.

Chai Tea

I am normally a Green Tea girl, but since the colder weather has begun I find myself craving and good old milky tea. Chai tea hits my cravings, it has a sweet cinnamon taste and it reminds me so much of Christmas.

Lastly and definitely number one,

'What is your favourite Fall Vegetable?

-A Sweet Potato'

Yes, I have ate so many sweet potatoes it is unreal.

Sweet potatoes fries or Baked Sweet potatoes.

They are one of the super food and they are super tasty.

Let me know what are your September Favourites?
What you looking forward too?

Hey m'lovelies. How has everyone been? Thank you to anyone who donated to Cancer Research, We smashed our target as well as our time for the Race For Life, Well done if you participated.
Now that the Race is over and done with it is all steam ahead for my summer holidays. The next few weeks will be a lot about my hols so prepare yourself ;)

One thing that is essential for me during the summer is FAKE TAN. I have super fair skin and rarely tan. I thought I would share what I use to help get the perfect tanned look.

The number one product I use is Fake tan. For the first time, I am using St Tropez Bronzing Mousse. I have always used St Moriz but this year I thought I would go all out. It is a bit pricey but for the quality it is extremely worth it.

You will need to exfoliate your whole body before to help keep the tan on. I haven't photographed it but I use a normal tanning mitt to apply the tan. Make sure it is applied evenly so there are no streaks. I tend to have a few mirrors in my room so I can see right round my body.

I really love St Tropez, it doesn't have a strong smell at all and it applies so easily. I have had the tan on for few days and although I have had baths and showers it is still visible. It is very long lastly which will be perfect whilst I am on holiday.

I picked it up at Boots, but any Chemist/Drugstore will definitely have it.

The St Tropez Instant Glow Body lotion is not a must have but I find it very helpful. If I do not want to spend time with the tanning mousse, have't got time or just want a quick bronzed up I reach for this. Is gives you a tan right away without having to wait. I have noticed because this is a lotion it comes off quite easily, this is not a major problem as I can just reapply.

If I have already used my bronzing mousse, I normally will use this on areas that I feel get washed the most ie face or hands. Applying this to either, is really handy to brighten and top up my tan.

What I love about St Tropez products is that they are infused with Vitamin E to protect and repair the skin. It is always nice to know that you are not damaging your skin.

Getting the perfect tan is important but I thought I would share what I use in combination to get a perfect tanned face. Using fake tan on your face I find instantly makes it look much better and healthier. I veer away for a very heavy make-up look and use a BB cream. BB creams are very useful in the summer anyway.

I use Garnier Miracle Skin Protector BB cream. I have it in the shade Light however it is quite dark. It is also rather thick so I will use a tiny about of Nars Sheer Glow too thin it down. It covers any blemishes without being heavy. It is the ideal shade,base and consistency for a great Tan. It is also has a good SPF which is makes is suitable in very hot days.

The last product I use is Rimmel Wake Me Up concealer. I have mention before how much I love this stuff. The lightest shade is again too dark for everyday but using it with a tan is a winning combination. If you have ever used the concealer you will know it has shimmer through it which adds to the glow of your face. It has different moisturizing ingredients which will prevent your skin drying up in the sun. I would highly recommend this for those who have darker skin.

Hope this helped. Let me know what you use

for a perfect tan? Have you any tips?

Also let know what other holiday related posts,

you would like to see?

Hey guys, How fast has May went, Not that I am complaining since June is super exciting for me!! So once again it is that time of month again.... Here are the products I have been loving in May.

Nail Care... As you might of seen from my Nail care Haul/review I purchased a few items to help take care of my bad nails. Using the Sally Hanson Strengthener has really helped strengthen my nails. I can feel my nails are a lot stronger and they are not breaking at all. Plus using the Sally Hansen Polish Remover has really helped with recovering my nails.

Carrying on from nail care, I have been loving a French Manicure. Ever since my nails have improve I have had more patience to spend time on them. I absolutely love how a French Manicure looks. I have been using Essie 'Romper Room ' or Tanya Burr Mini Marshmallow with Essie 'Blanc'.

Coconut oil. I rarely have hair care products in my favourites because I never put a lot of effort into my hair. I wash and dry shampoo it and that is about it!!! But I have a wedding in July and I really want my hair to be in a brilliant condition, as well as longer. My cousin recommend Coconut Oil to help grow my hair. I bought OGX Weightless Hydrating coconut Oil. I can't really see hair growth so far but it has really made my hair feel super nice. It also smell so lovely, I would highly recommend.

Zoeva 234 Luxe Smoky Shader brush. I bought this brush a while ago but have been loving it this month. Firstly I love the colour, it is so pretty. Secondly, I have been wanting a Zoeva brush for a long time so I am thrilled to have it in my collection. Thirdly, it is a very good brush. It is so easy to pack my lid with colour, as it holds a lot of shadow on the brush. It is super soft and I am in love with it.

In terms of TV programs I haven't had any new stand outs, apart Once Upon a Time, but that was in last months favorites. I have however been loving Spotify Chill Out Playlists. I have always stuck to the albums I am familiar with but I venture out and found the best laid back playlist. I love to have it on in the back round, whether I am reading or writing. In fact I have it on just now. It is so calming and 'Chill' Two sounds that have stood out and I have played on repeat are Kodeline- The One and John Mayer cover of XO.
Last but not least I will mention my food favourites. As you can tell from my last post, I have been loving Corn thins with Almond butter with Strawberries. But Vegetables Crisps HAS to be my number one this month. I could seriously live of them. I don't know if they are the healthiest things to eat but I don't care ;) Marks and Spenser or Costa Coffee probably do the best.

I am so excited about the next coming months, I have a lot of ideas for blog posts.

So keep your eyes peeled.

What have been your May Favourites? Let me know?

So I really enjoying watching 'What's in My Make-up Bag' videos on Youtube and I love reading about it too. It is interesting what other carry with them on a day-to-day basis. I would say I carry a small amount with me. 1. I feel it isn't always essential to carry it with you and 2. I have a pretty small make-up bag that I can not fit a lot in.

My make-up bag was given to me as a gift a few Christmases ago from my parents. I am a massive lover of Cath Kidston so I am in love with it. Like I said it is small but I like to carry the bare necessities with me.

A mirror is always essential to carry with you. How many times do you get asked if you have a mirror in you? It is super handy. Whether it is for a quick yet or to reapply make-up I need it in my make-up bag. This one was actually already in the make-up bag.

I don't have enough space to carry a whole tube of foundation, so I carry around this sample of Clinque Redness Solution Foundation. I am not a big fan of Clinque but it is super easy to carry around this little tub.

Rimmel Stay Matte powder is again essential. This, for me, is the best powder I have found so far. I like to carry this with me as well a sponge applicator just in case my face get shiny throughout the day.

Collection 2000 concealer. I don't know how many times I have mention this stuff on my blog but it is amazing and I must carry it around with me to touch up my under-eyes or nose.

Benefit Bad Girl Mascara. I wouldn't say it was the best mascara from Benefit but it very useful to keep in my bag. It does it job although I am not keen on how big the bristle is compared to the mini size of the bottle but it is for on the go so I can tolerate it. I am however itching to get my hands on Roller lash Mascara.

The last three things I fit into my make-up bag is items I use the most where ever I go.

Anti bacteria hand gel is absolutely necessary. You never know when you are going to need it. I tend to use before I eat my lunch or after I use the bathroom. It is nice to be clean and germ free ;)
Very recently I have been carrying hand cream, my hand go extremely dry and it started to effect my nails. Since I have been using it everyday my hands and nails have improved a great deal. I really like this smell, I got it in a 4 piece set for my Christmas.
The last thing is my tiny Victoria Secret Bombshell perfume. It is so small that I can easily place in my make-up bag. I really love the fragrance and it is always nice to freshen up through the day.

Hope you are having a fab weekend what ever you are doing!

What is in your make-up bag?

Hope everyone is having a fab week, I am feeling much better so I thought I would give you a bonus midweek blog. Everyone has things that make them happy in the daily routine. Here is a few things that I like to do in my chill time.

Bedroom set up.

I would definitely say a good book is a good place to start if you have spare time. A great book can put you in a completely different atmosphere, it can make you happy or can make you sad . Either way it can distract you from many things. The book I am reading at the moment is Rainbow Rowell 'Eleanor & Park'. I was a massive fan of 'Fangirl' so I decided to look in to her other book. I am really loving this book. A cup of Green Tea and a cosy duvet is perfect in this situation.

Doodling is also fun. Whether you are an artist or not, get a blank piece of paper and start doodling. You never know you just might create a masterpiece. I am loving this Fashion Sketchbook. I received this at Christmas and I love it. Whether is drawing of a past outfit, future outfit or an over the top outfit, I love it. I am not the best artist nor fashion designer, having it beside my bed gives me the idea that I am. Getting the right equipment and a perfect soundtrack can make the day fly by.

Carrying on from doodling, Having a diary or writing paper is must. I love to write my ideas about blog posts or my favourite quotes from the day. Taking the time in the day to write in my diary can also bring out the best points in my day. Looking through on my younger diarys makes me laugh. I normally keep at home but you could also take it in your bag and carry it with you. It doesn't have to be a fancy diary but a pretty one can help motivate you to use it.

I can also find inspiration on Tumblr. Whether on my phone or on my laptop I find I can spend hours scrolling and reblogging. Like I said I can find inspiration about outfits, bedroom ideas and eating ideas. It can make the day/night go quick. Maybe to quick!!!!!! (*Enter Self Promotion Here*) .

I hope to do more posts like this, I have a few ideas for new posts so keep an eye out. I really want to blog a lot more. I am trying really hard. :)

Let me know what you do in your chill times?

Happy May , Hope everyone had a fab April. My monthly favourites have came around so quick so here it goes.

My Real Techniques Bold Metallic 101 brush. This brush has been number one this month. After getting the Oval Shadow brush I really wanted to try the other bold metals set. And when I had some spare time on my lunch hour I went down to boots and seen that there was only one left.I thought it must be fate haha so I purchased it. This brush is perfect. The triangle shape means I can get into any intricate part of my face.The brush is so soft making my face look really smooth. I find the brush a perfect size for my whole face.

Topshop 'Chuck' Lipstick . This month I have been experimenting more with lipsticks. My fav has been 'Chuck' from Topshop. I am more of a nude/pink kind of girl but I have been loving this shade. It is more of a cherry/plum colour. Although it is coming into the spring/summer I am really digging the shade. The packaging is also very cute.

Rimmel Wake me up Concealer. I have had this for a while but only recently have I been really loving it. It's great for under the eye and like it says on the it's definitely makes you look awake. It really brightens your eyes. I love how it has sparkles in it which makes your face glow. Coming into the hotter days you really want to look fresh faced.

My Favourite album this month have been Sia's 1000 Forms Of Fear and Meghan Trainor's Title.
I have loved Sia since seeing Dance Moms Maddie Ziegler preform in Chandelier. Every song and music video she released I was obsessed with so I decided to purchase the album. The music is different to want I thought it would be like but I love it. A big changed from the usual chart music. My favourite song would have to be 'Fire Meet Gasoline'
On the contrary Meghan Trainor's album has a very popy, 1950s/1960s vibe which I love. It puts me in a great mood. It also showcases Meghan's vocals. My favourite track is 'Credit'. Both albums are on reply.

Once Upon a Time. Having watched this two years ago when it was on TV I was so upset when it got cut from UK channel.... but I was super happy that it was put up on Netflix. (thank you). I love how it has more characters involved and more fairytales and the story is getting better and better, I can't stop watching and would absolutely recommend it. Plus I wish that David was my Prince Charming. ;)

Everyone has their beauty essentials or their go to make-up!! I'm certainly not any different, These are my beauty essentials I could not live without....

Nars Sheer Glow.....

I purchased this in the middle of 2014 and has been my favourite foundation ever since, trying to find a good coverage foundation that doesn't go cakey is hard but this is perfect!! I would say it has medium to high coverage but you can certainly build. It leaves my face looking very smooth...

Eye lash curlers.

I have red, ginger, strawberry blonde hair.. Which means my eyelashes are super light!! This gives me really nothing to work with, on top of that I have no curl to my eyelashes... I own Models Own eyelash curlers as well as a heated eye lash curler...I can't leave the house without either one of them. Both do a really good job on my eyelashes, making them the best they can be!!

Mascara

To enhance my short, light, non-curly eye lashes I need to use a great mascara. Like I said in my March favourites I use Maybeline the Falsies!! It has been a staple in my make up collection last month. Two coats maybe three aswell as using my curlers do the best job ever!!!!!

Collection 2000 Concealer is a god send!! I rely on this concealer so much. It gives great coverage and is so easy to appply. I use it to highlight and if I am having a particularly good face day, I will use it as my base,I have heard and seen a lot of Beauty Youtubers talk about this and I can definitely see why they love it.

Bronzer, like I said in my make addict tag I couldn't live without bronzer!! I honestly love the way it can complete and change your face!!! My must have bronzer is Mac Natural Finish in medium!! I have fair skin so this really does the job, it gives a natural coutour and a natural warmth. I also use MUA bronzer as an everyday bronzer, this is slightly darker but I would apply a little less,. Coming into the summer, Using bronzer will be great to give the warmth to your face.

Perfume..... you always have to smell nice right?!? Going to the shops or going out at night everything is better when you smell nice... I have quite a few perfumes but my essential is Chanel Chance, I was given this as a 16th birthday gift and ever since I have been given it atleast 3 times! It is 100% my favourite perfume!! Every day perfume I do love are Britney Spears-Curious and One Direction- Our Moment.

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOUR BEAUTY ESSENTIALS ARE?

Hey m'lovelys, Hope you are all having a great day.

For me Make-up Brushes are one of the most essential things to make or break your make-up look... I feel that you need the right brushes to create the perfect face... so here are my Top 5 brushes...

The first brush is the Sephora 57 Pro Airbrush Conceal brush.. I purchased this in Sephora whilst on holiday in Milan with my family and it is a brilliant brush!!

I use it with my concealer to cover up my problems areas and I feel it makes these area look smooth and flawless.

The brush is super soft and very easy to use!! It is very worth the money and I would certainly recommend!!

The second brush is Real Techniques Bold Metallic Oval Shadow brush...

This brush is meant for your eyes and it is a very good Eye brush however I use it as a concealer brush!! I feel that this brush is the right shape and well as having the right fluffiness for a perfect concealer brush. I use this brush more for highlight rather than my problem areas. But both this and my Sephora Brush is a perfect match.

This is my most recent purchase, aswell as it being an amazing brush, the Bold Metals collection is beautiful..

The third brush on my list is Sephora 73 Crease brush...

Again I purchased this whilst in Milan! I would definitely say it was a dupe for MAC 217, I had been looking for a blending/fluffy brush for a long time and heard amazing reviews about MAC 217... I was on my way to the MAC counter as I seen this brush...

It is a perfect shape for blending and it holds a lot of product! It creates the perfect look without shedding! This brush is very affordable and a must have in your make-up collection.

Number four is Real Techniques Expert Face Brush....

This has to be my all time favourite foundation brush! Having went through a phase of using my fingers (I know, disgusting) I found Real Techniques brushes, thanks to my sister. I firstly swore by Real Techniques buffing Brush, I loved it and it made my make-up apply really nice But then I purchased the Expert Face brush for my friends Christmas, I had forgot my brushes one day after staying over and she was really kind in letting my borrow her brush.. I was in love... The foundation went on so smoothly and it sat perfectly!!

I automatically put it on my Christmas list last year and was super lucky to have received it!!! The brush is super soft yet it gives a very good coverage and like I said it makes my face look smooth and flawless.

The last brush and right now my favourite is Real Techniques Cheek Brush...

Like all Real Techniques brushes it is super soft and very good value. This came in a set name Nics Picks, and I believe it was a set exclusive.

I use this firstly as a bronzer brush, the dense bristles means I can build colour and create perfect contour. I then use it for my blush, again the soft dense brush means I can build colour.

It is very easy to use and gives a lovely effect!! I would highly recommend if you can get your hands on it!!

What is your top brushes? Leave in the comments any recommendations?!
