Tanya Burr Cosmetics!

Hello everyone, 

I said before Christmas that I would do a Tanya Burr cosmetics review post thing so you guys could see the products I got in my advent calender and to see how good they are. 


These are the products I got in the advent calendar.
So as you can see I got a different range of products in the calendar. 

Compact mirror:

The compact mirror is one of my favourites as I have never actually owned one and they are very handy when it comes to school. It is in the shape of a love heart and is baby pink with little white stars on. One side is more zoomed in then the other to make it easier to see the details. 

Lip glosses:

In the advent calendar I got 3 different shades, which would probably the shades I would have picked out if I was in the shop. The first shade is a dark red and honestly it is not as dark as it looks. The second shade is a very candy floss like pink which again is not a bright as it looks if you do not put layers of it on. The last shade is probably my favourite, it is a coral, nude colour and looks very flattering on the lips. Applying the lip glosses are very nice as they have a flat biggish applicator which is perfect to fit your lips. These must be good because I don't wear any other lip glosses apart from Tanya's so I recommend these highly.

Nail varnishes:

The nail varnishes were quiet similar shades, one was a green colour with glitter in and the other was a blue colour with glitter in. I am not going to lie, but I would not wear the nail varnish kn their own, I would prefer them as a top coat to add glitter to it, but it depends on your preference but overall they are nice nail varnishes to add to my collection.

Eye shimmer pots:

These shimmer pots came in a copper shade and a silver shade, there isn't really a lot to say about them apart from the fact they are really really nice and you can even wear them on there own and they look really nice. I really do recommend these.

Nail files:

You can't really say a lot about nail files. What I can say are they are really good for travelling or putting in your handbag because they are mini and have really nice designs on them.

Eyelashes:

I am going to admit I have not tried the eyelashes yet and I'm not really a fake eyelash person unless it is a special event but from what I can see they look really nice and they look like they will suit my eyes. It was a good choice :).

I hope you enjoyed this post, I really enjoyed having s beauty calendar this year and hope to get one again next year. 

I have lots of new ideas for blog posts this year so I hope you are looking forward to them. 

Thank you for reading. 

Love

My 2015!

Hello everyone!

I hope you had a very good Christmas.

Today's post is kind of inspiration from Zoe (aka Zoella) where she summed up her year and all the amazing things her and her friends have done this year but not just that she pointed out some of the bad things that had happened in the year. So I thought it would be a good idea for me to do that, even though I probably did not do as much as Zoe I still think it is a very good idea especially for looking back on in a couple of years time.

So the year started of in January (obviously) when the year started off on a high as we celebrated my sisters 21st Birthday.

I always find the first couple of months in the year to be a bit boring as you kind of just get everything sorted for the year hence why I did not really do much more in January. 

We then reach February which is my Birthday month, which is the 25th, and I still did not do much at the start of February until my Birthday in which I went out for a meal with my family.

March is when the year started going down hill, we had my Dads Birthday which was nice but then come March/April time a relative got diagnosed with breast cancer not just that my Grandad started getting ill.

In April my auntie had a few operations to get rid of the cancer before she started her treatment. Also in April me, my mum , dad , brother, sister and grandma went on holiday to Mablethorpe which was a good break, whilst we were on holiday it was my Brothers 19th Birthday.

May came along and I went on holiday with my Auntie and Cousin to Wales, again it was another great holiday.

  Also in May I went to see The Vamps and Union J in concert.
                        
I also went to a safari park.


Now we are in June when it was my Mums Birthday. But also unfortunately my grandad passed away.

Following into July it was starting to come to the end of the school year which I was very happy about but also I went to Paris on a school trip. 


 Following my trip to Paris I had an operation in my mouth.
Now at the end of July beginning of August I went to Egypt of a family holiday which was amazing. 

Also in August (which was summer holidays) I went to Dovedale with the family ( Dovedale is just a place in the peak district). 
September rolled along where I started year 10. Nothing else really happened from now until October where I spent halloween with my friends.
 When November came I went to see Mumford and Sons in concert with two of my friends.
Before we knew it Christmas was coming around and everyone was rushing around trying to get everything done for Christmas.
On Christmas eve me my brother, sister, dad and cousin went ice skating.
New years was just spent with the family playing games which was a great way to end 2015 and start 2016. 

Happy new year everyone and I hope 2016 is a better year. 

Bye
