I wasn't going to buy any Tanya Burr lipglosses. I'm not a great lipgloss lover and to me they seemed quite expensive for what they were. They had been so hyped up, with promises of a non sticky formula and great pigmentation, so I thought these may be a rare lipgloss love for me. I went to Superdrug to get my eyebrows threaded, but turned up too early, which proved to be a dangerous thing, as I found myself wandering to the tills with three Tanya Burr lipglosses in hand (3 for 2 so not so bad!).
First off I have to mention the scent. These lipglosses smell amazing - possibly even better than MAC lipsticks! They smell like sweets, I can't quite put my finger on which ones though.
The shades I got were Afternoon Tea, Picnic In The Park and Exotic Island. For me they were a little bit hit and miss. I don't know if it was just the shades I got, but it seemed that the darker you went, the better the formulation was. Afternoon Tea, the lightest of the bunch, was a little bit gloopy and tricky to apply evenly, compared to Exotic Island, the darkest, which glided on really nicely. Maybe I just got a dodgy one in Afternoon Tea, but it was quite sticky too compared to the other two shades.
I do have to agree though that the pigmentation of these lipglosses is really good, some of the best out there for this kind of product. In terms of wear, they are the same as most other lipglosses - you're going to get one or two hours wear out of them at most and you'll definitely need to top up after eating and drinking, but that's always the case with a lipgloss.

They're definitely worth a try if you're a lipgloss fan xx
DeleteI really like the colour of exotic island but I haven't even seen these in my local superdrug. Xx

It's weird, I live in a city with 2 Superdrugs & I haven't seen them in either. I went to a smaller town nearby and they had them. They're pretty well hidden too! xx
DeleteLove the look of Exotic Island, such a lovely colour which does look particularly pigmented! :)

This one is my favourite, lovely colour xx
DeleteGorgeous shades especially the last one. I think I'll try these as I don't mind the slight stickiness in glosses.

It's amazing to see. Am I right in thinking she said she was bringing out a wider makeup range? I'd love to try some more products! xx
DeleteI like the names of the shades! I don't think these are available locally though!
ReplyDeleteYou can get them from feelunique.com which I think does worldwide delivery :) xx
