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.

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.

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?

Love Emma
