Review: Tanya Burr's Cosmetics

Alright, so I was lucky enough to get my hands on two of Tanya Burr's makeup products. Her lip gloss in I found Nemo and her Galaxy eye palette. I never imagined that my mum would let me order makeup from the UK, she doesn't believe that not all makeup is the same, and I'm surprised that she let me get two products! So onto the review!

The eye palette contains four eye shadows. Snowflake (white shimmer), Moonlight (My favorite! A grey shimmer), Stormy Night (matte purple burgundy), and Starry Night (sparkly but not chunky sparkly black). 

Lets start with the packaging. The lip gloss looks really nice, with gold details and a long square shape I think they look much more expensive than the original small packaging. When you move it in a fancy blogger like way the gold writing seems to glow. The only thing I have to say negatively about the lip gloss is that the wand is quite long and it's a bit wobbly if you don't have a firm hold on it.

The packaging of the eye palette is a bit deceiving as the little ribbon makes me want to pull on it and open it like a drawer. Other than that I think that the mirror is a decent size and the actual eye shadows are a lot bigger than I expected them to be. In comparison to the Stila In the Nude palette in which the shadows are about the size of a nickel the shadows in the Galaxy palette are a bit bigger than a quarter.

I have to admit that I'm not a huge lip gloss fan. If you live in the US and you were once a pre-teen than you probably have tried the lip glosses sold in Bath & Body Works and you would know that the formulas are thick and sticky. Now I know glosses that are sticky stay put longer but I just can't stand it when I walk outside and my hair gets stuck to my lips by just the mention of wind. If I move my hair then the lip gloss is smeared but if I don't move my hair than I just look weird. So when I applied Tanya's lip gloss I was decently surprised. The consistency is amazing; it's smooth but tacky enough that it won't run off of my lips within seconds.

The only shadow I was worried about was Snowflake as every white shadow I have ever tried has been chalky, but its surprisingly smooth. I had major expectations for the grey eye shadow and I wasn't disappointed. The black shadow, when I first saw it, worried me because of how sparkly it was, but again I was pleasantly surprised. Although it's really sparkly it's SO SMOOTH and not chunky at all!

Overall I am so so pleased with my purchase. Here is where I ordered everything:

I also bought Zoella's new lotion so I'm hoping that will come in the mail soon! Thanks for reading and don't be afraid to leave a comment!

*Update:
I got Zoella's body lotion about a week ago and am loving it so far! The scent is light and not super overpowering so I can put it on without worrying that I will get a migraine from the smell.
