Hey everybody!! Today I am writing to you all about the lovely things I received in the Tanya Burr advent calendar. First I'd like to know if you all had a lovely Christmas and a happy new year. Let me know your favourite present in the comments below.
Let's get started then;
On December 1st I opened a gorgeous eye shimmer! It is the shade "Creme Brûlée" and I am in love with it. I had never tried an eye shimmer before and I was pleasantly surprised with how nice it looks on.
On December 2nd I opened a beautiful lipgloss in the shade "Macaroon". I'm not particularly a lipgloss kind of girl, I usually opt for the lipsticks instead. Saying that, I do really like this lipgloss and how it looks on my lips. The only thing I would say is that it is not very thick but then again it is only a lipgloss. I really like the shade as its perfect for everyday makeup and would complement any look well.
On December 3rd I opened an amazing nail polish is the shade "Under The Sea". I was honestly so excited once I saw this, I absolutely LOVE nail polishes!! I especially liked the colours in this one particularly and it goes perfectly with the under the sea theme. I am still yet to try it out though and I will soon!
On December 4th I was surprised to see a nail file with a lovely stripe design on it. Now, I really am someone who loves their nails and try's to treat them well so I did appreciate this! It is also a handy pocket size so I will be able to pop it in my handbag etc.
On December 5th I opened some natural looking fake eyelashes!! Okay so, I have to admit something now... I have never EVER worn fake eyelashes in my life!! I've never even really thought about it to be honest, but once I saw these I just knew that they'd be perfect for me. I knew this because they were very natural looking and I definitely prefer that look. I am anticipating wearing them and I will update you (probably on my Instagram) once I do try them. (They did also come with the application glue!)
On December 6th I opened another lipgloss in a darker shade of "Bewitching". If you know me well you'll probably know that I prefer a "darker" lip than a pink lip. I am not against a good pink lip though as I do wear pink lipstick often too. I was very excited to try this and I was genuinely quite disappointed with it. Again, I do think it's because it is a lipgloss so if you like a light wear lipgloss then you will find it absolutely fine! However for me personally, it was too light and made it almost seem blotchy which I did not like at all.
On December 7th I was very excited to see another eye shimmer, this time in a charcoal colour "Starry Night" and I thought was just the perfect name for this product as it really did remind me of a starry night! I truly love the shade and I actually used it on Christmas Day along with a dark lip look which I thought looked lovely.
On December 8th I opened another nail file but this time in a very cute heart design. Another one is very handy as, because they are small, they are easy to loose so a spare never goes to waste.
On December 9th I was amazed by these luxurious looking lashes! I could definitely imagine wearing these on a night out or to a party.
On December 10th I was delighted to see a very handy, pocket sized mirror. It's shaped like a heart too which is ADORABLE!
On day 11 I opened a third lipgloss in the shade "Candy Frost". I was pretty worried to try this one but also very excited as I've never owned such a pink lipgloss (or lipstick!) ever. It was probably what if describe as a Barbie pink. Unfortunately it didn't come up as pink on my lips as I anticipated but it was still quite nice.
Finally on December 12th I was over the moon to see another nail polish in the shade "Carnival Night" and I LOVE IT! I really like all of the colours it has within it. I will definitely be using this as soon as I can.
So that's it! The whole 12 days! I really liked how it was only 12 days instead of 24 or 25. I like it mainly because otherwise it would of been a lot more money. I was really pleased with most, if not all the products I received and I will definitely be using them frequently.
If you want to see if I wear the lashes at any point (which I will eventually) then go follow my Instagram and you'll be able to know when I post next.
See you all soon!
Bye!
