First Impression/Review- Tanya Burr Lips and Nails♡

Hello lovelies! Sorry I haven't posted in a while but I've been away and I've had so much things on lately. I took a little trip into Superdrug today and I came across the Tanya Burr stand! I've got to admit I did go a little crazy. After purchasing these items I thought why not review them? So that's what I will be doing for you today hope you enjoy!♡


Here is an over view of what I purchased from "Tanya Burr♡". I really love the packaging of these makeup products as they don't feel tacky and actually look quite luxurious. I couldn't believe how many shades and colours there were too choose from in Superdrug.♡

I'm firstly going to go over the Nail Polishes that I purchased. Firstly I got "Little Duck" which is the cutest name and colour ever! It's a really gorgeous blue/mint colour which is one of my favourite colours for Spring and Summer so I had to purchase this one.♡


My camera doesn't do the colour justice but it's more minty green in person not blue. It also goes really glossy when it dries and gives a lovely shine to your nails.This colour is perfect for Summer as it goes lovely with a tan.♡

Then we come on to "Peaches & Cream". Ignore how messy the nail polish looks! I had to apply it really quickly. This colour is simple but beautiful! I would say its a mixture between a pinky/nude and a peachy colour. I think this is perfect if your wanting something less vibrant but just a light colour to your nails. The nail polishes are £5.99 each which in my opinion are slightly pricey for drugstore but are worth it in the end!


Now on to the Lipglosses!! I was super excited to purchase one of these lipglosses as they looked so pretty in her youtube videos. So I got three... Naughty Anna! I purchased the colours Just Peachy, Afternoon Tea and Picnic in the Park which again are the cutest names ever.

"Just peachy" is possibly the most gorgeous peach lipgloss I own. This is more pink to be honest but has a lovely peachy hint to it. I really love how smoothly these lipglosses apply and how moisturing they feel on your lips♡

Then we have "Afternoon Tea" which I think is a more darkened version of "Just Peachy". It's a lovely baby pink colour with the tinyest bit of shimmer to it. Also all of these lipglosses are super duper pigmented! I actually thought these would be quite sheer but I was wrong!♡

Last but not least we have "Picnic in the Park" which I think could be my favourite out of them all. This colour is a raspberry pink colour and looks so pigmented on the lips. These lipglosses give a lovely glossy finish to them which I think looks very pretty! The lipglosses are £7.99 each which again are a little pricey but all worth it in the end.

I hope you have enjoyed this little review on the new Tanya Burr Lipglosses and Nail polishes. If you have any ideas on what blogpost I should do next you know what to do! Just message me on kik anna.camillaxx and I will always reply! Or dm me on Instagram @annacamillax and I'm always happy to reply.♡

Q&A♡

Hello my lovelies welcome back to my blog. I asked on Instagram for some questions for my Q&A and I got a lot of questions... I thought it was time for me to do another Q&A as I haven't done one in ages! So let's get started♡

1. @mildredinstagram
Question♡ - Favourite Makeup Item?
Answer♡ - This question is super hard but at the moment I've been loving my Naked 3 palette. I get so much wear out of this palette and I can create so many different makeup looks. 

2. @emilykehoe_ 
Question♡ - Would you ever make a youtube? And do beauty/fashion videos?
Answer♡ - I really really want to make a youtube account and start making videos but I personally don't think I'm ready to do that yet. I think when I'm older I will definately start making youtube videos as I will have more time.  

3. @clionacollins
Question♡ - What do you want to be when your older?
Answer♡ - I would love to work in the Fashion or Beauty Industry as I'm a huge fan of makeup and fashion. Maybe a Fashion designer as I love to create different looks and try out different styles. 

4. @caitlinransom
Question♡ - What one makeup item could you not live without?
Answer♡ - This one is so difficult but if I could only choose one makeup item it would have to be a foundation e.g Revlon Nearly Naked, YSL Touche Èclat, Benefit Hello flawless. I have so many favourites but I couldn't live without foundation because it covers over blemishes,discolouration and spots and makes your skin look flawless. 

5. @alohaems
Question♡ - Coffee or Hot Chocolate?
Answer♡ - Hot Chocolate by far! I do like coffee but I think it's too strong for me! Whipped cream and Marshmallows on the top also make Hot Chocolate DELICIOUS!

6. @alohaems
Question♡ - Favourite Ice Cream Flavour?
Answer♡ - Mint Chocolate Chip! ALL TIME FAVOURITE!

7. @idk_isabel 
Question♡ - Favourite Fragrance?
Answer♡ - My favourite fragrance at the moment would be Jo Malone's Earl Grey and Cucumber Cologne. Omg this is beautiful. It might sound like an odd combination but if you smell it you will fall in love with it!

8. @idk_isabel
Question♡ - Favourite Yankee Candle?
Answer♡ - I own a lot of Yankee Candles but the one I'm obsessing over is Fireside Treats. This smells like Marshmallows and sweets yummy!

9. @frankie_robertson
Question♡ - Would you rather live without an eyeliner or a lipstick? 
Answer♡ - I'm not the biggest fan of eyeliner so I would live without an eyeliner. Lipstick is so much better as it gives colour to your whole makeup look. 

10. @judesowter
Question♡- Favourite Clothes Shop?
Answer♡- I have quite a few favourites but if I had to choose one it would be Zara. You can find some beautiful clothes in there. They have a lot of quirky and unique clothes in Zara which I love. Most of my wardrobe is Zara to be honest....


11. @floralminion_
Question♡- Hair Down or Up?
Answer♡- This is another difficult question.... It really depends! I wear my hair down a lot and I love to experiment different hairstyles e.g Curls, Braids,Waves. I also like to wear Messy Buns, Ponytails, Fishtails and French Braids. But I mostly wear my hair down.

12. @alohaitsizzyyy 
Question♡- Favourite thing about Paris?
Answer♡- Everything! The shops are just to die for and all the places you can visit are amazing. I just got back from Paris yesterday as I went on a Netball Tour with my school and it was amazing! It was my first time to go to Disneyland as well and it was just unreal. I really want to go back now.

13. @marlaelizabethx
Question♡- Best high end foundation you own?
Answer♡- Chanel Vitalumière Aqua Foundation. It covers up my discolouration and blemishes, makes my skin look a lot more healthier and has amazing coverage.


I hope you enjoyed this little blogpost! Sorry if I didn't answer your question but I had so many questions and I couldn't  answer them all!

Drugstore Starter Kit♡

Hello lovelies! I thought that I would go through some drugstore beauty products for the people who are entering the beauty world or just trying makeup for the first time.♡

I have quite a bit to show you so let's go ahead and get started!♡


1. Primer♡:

A primer isn't too necessary if you have dry skin but if you have oily skin this would help minimize pores and shininess throughout the day. I have been loving this primer recently but the Porefessional by Benefit is still by far my favourite! This one is Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser by Maybelline and it's £7.99 from Boots.


2. Foundation♡:

Then you come on to foundation. If you already have flawless looking skin you don't really need this but if you feel like you don't these are the ones I would reccomend to you. I personally don't think I need high coverage foundations so these two are both medium coverage foundations. 

The one on the left is the Lorèal True Match foundation which is one of my favourite drugstore ones. This foundation is super blendable and feels really lightweight on your skin. I would say this foundation is Medium/High Coverage as you can build it up.
Then on the left we have the Revlon Nearly Naked foundation which is a new discovery of mine. On the skin it looks so natural and doesn't even look like you are wearing foundation unless you build it up. I'm pretty obsessed with both of these at the moment and I highly reccomend them both if you are starting off in makeup! 


3. Concealer♡:

I have two concealers to go through with you as I couldn't choose between them both. On the left we have the Revlon Colourstay Concealer which is my new favourite! This covers my dark circles and blemishes amazingly. On the Right we have the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer which I've had in my makeup collection for the longest time. This covers anything seriously! Blemishes,Spots,dark circles, discolouration you name it!


4. Powder♡:

The Rimmel Stay Matte Powder is a miracle worker! If you are prone to oily skin this will be your best friend. This powder stays on for the longest time and doesn't leave you looking caked up. I have the shade Warm beige and it matches my skin tone perfectly. I highly reccomend this powder because it's affordable and as I said a miracle worker!


5. Blush♡:

I'm afraid I don't own any drugstore blushes except from the Sleek ones which I don't like that much so this one will have to do! This is Sephoras own blush and it's so beautiful. It's a gorgeous peachy pink colour with subtle shimmer through it. Just apply this to the apples of your cheeks and it makes you look so healthy and gorgeous.

6. Brows♡ (if needed)

This is obviously optional but this brow gel is amazing! I personally don't need think I need it as my eyebrows are super thick, but it just adds a bit of defention and tidies them up.


7. Mascara♡:

Maybelline the Falsies I love you. This mascara is just amazing and you all need to get it. It makes your lashes look so bold and lengthens them amazingly. The bristles on the wand are very thin which help separate your eyelashes. A lot of people talk and rave about this mascara and I know why they do because it's the best drugstore mascara!


8. Eyes♡:

I have these gorgeous Maybelline Colour tattoos and they are all beautiful. I have five of these but I thought the other two were a bit more vibrant for someone who was starting in makeup. These are my favourites though as they are all so pretty and look so lovely on the eyes.
Left to Right:
♡ Metallic Pomegranate 
♡ Pink Gold
♡ On and On Bronze


9. Lips♡:

It was pretty hard to just choose a couple of lipsticks/lipglosses for this but I've narrowed it down to three. These are the Revlon Colourstay Ultimate Suede Lipsticks. I don't know why I didn't know about these ages ago as they are amazing! The shades that I have are:
Left to Right:
♡ Couture which is a lovely ruby red colour with a tiny shimmer through it.
♡ Socialite which is a pinky/nude my favourite!
♡ Womanswear which is a perfect barbie pink colour with shimmer.

10. Lipgloss♡:

I was just going to put the lipsticks but I thought if you wanted something a bit more subtle these would be perfect. These are the Revlon Super Lustrious Lipglosses. I love the packaging on these as well as they look quite high end. They feel so smooth on the lips and not even sticky! 
Left to right:
♡ Kiss me coral
♡ Fatal Apple

Then I obviously have my Real Techniques brushes from Boots to apply most of these makeup products with. Sorry I couldn't manage to get a photo of the brushes. Anyway I hope you have enjoyed this blogpost today!

Love
♡Anna♡
