I thought it was about time I wrote a whole post on one make up brand/collection that I have a growing stash off and which is one of favourites at the moment. Most of my stash are from a few of her collections with most of them still in shops as far as I am aware so I definitely think you should try these products if you haven't already!
The Face Illuminator is my all time favourite product from her collections because the product inside works really well on my skin and helps me look more alive when I don't always feel it. I use this underneath my foundation to give my skin a glow and to make me look more tanned. I love this product so much and I have 3 squeeze tubs of it in case it runs out, prepared much?! This product is only £8 and it does exactly the same as what some products which cost £30+ do so if you love the glowing from within look this is definitely up your street!
Next up is her Illuminating Powders and I have both Warm Bronze and Champagne Sorbet which are both stunning. I love bronzers and Warm Bronze is the perfect shimmery warm toned powder to use normally when you have a tan or to use with a light hand over a flat bronzer to give your cheeks a real healthy glow. I love wearing the bronzer by itself or on top of other bronzers and it always looks nice. I am not a big highlighter gal on a day to day basis but Champagne Sorbet isn't too over the top so when I am in the mood to wear something this is perfect for looking natural.
I also have the My Paradise Eye Palette which is stunning! I love all four colours and they blend together to make such beautiful looks. I am quite a boring girl when it comes to eye shadow, I like one or two shades which match that I can blend together and I am done. None of this cut crease shit I don't have time for that! So this palette is great because all four colours work well together and when I wear them they are natural on the skin and don't look like I've made too much effort.
Lastly I have my first ever Tanya Burr product if I remember correctly, the Beautifully Defined Palette (ebay) which has 3 eye shadows, a contour, a powder highlight and a small tub of my favourite face illuminator. I used this palette non stop when I first got it because it has everything you would need in it. The contour shade can look quite scary in the pan but on the cheeks it is really subtle and blends in really easily. The 3 eye shadow shades are right up my alley with the matte and shimmer brown tones and again they blend in really easily and look really natural. Annoyingly this palette isn't sold anymore from what I can see but I can see Tanya bringing out something similar in the future (well I am hoping anyway because I would buy that too)
The main thing I have found with most of the Tanya Burr products is that they all give me glowing healthy skin and I love that a lot. If I am going on a night out or going out on a sunny day I reach for these products because I know I will look good in them even if my skin is having a hiccup that day (which is most days lately...)
I would definitely recommend Tanya Burr Cosmetics if you haven't tried them yet and I haven't even spoke about her lip products... that might have to be a separate post!

Surprisingly I have been loving the warmer weather these past few weeks and have changed up my whole makeup menu for the heat. I have been loving going for a glowy tanned look which is actually looking pretty damn good.
I have recently changed up my base routine especially for the weather as my skin needed a change. I have opted for two new foundations recently which are really working for me. First is the Rimmel Wake Me Up in True Ivory which is perfect to wear during the summer when you have a tan and want to look like a greek goddess - I wish! It gives my skin a nice even texture even when my skin isn't working with me. I love the tan it gives my face without making me look orange.
For concealer I am still using my trusty Bourjois Radiance Reveal in Ivory to brighten my eyes and my Collection Lasting Perfection concealer to cover my spots and blemishes.
On my cheek bones I have been abusing my Makeup Revolution Baked Bronzer in Golden Days which gives me the healthiest warm glow on my cheeks which on top of my bases look amazing if I do say so myself. On my eyes I have been wearing The Tanya Burr My Paradise Eye Shadow Palette which is just beautiful. Champagne Cocktail is the most beautiful golden shimmer shade which by itselfs looks amazing. I usually just use this by itself for a everyday look and if I want to add a bit more sparkle to my eyes I add Tranquility or Miami Sunrise in the outter corner or crease.
Lastly I have been loving Tanya Burr Lipgloss in Lunch Date which is a beautiful light pinky/nude lipgloss. I am not the biggest fan of lip glosses that is no secret but this one I actually do love. It isn't sticky and doesn't dry out my lips which is a bonus.
Since the clocks have finally gone forward I think its about time I embraced the spring season in full swing. I feel like I've been waiting for spring to come around for so long, this winter has definitely took its toll on me. I am ready for the coral shades and the sunshine days.
During the spring time I like to keep my base quite simple and light so I'll been wearing my Bourjois City Radiance foundation in the shade 02 which has been a favourite of mine since I tried it out late last year. It is a light weight medium coverage foundation which looks flawless and glowy on the skin and lasts all day on my face. When you first apply this foundation it looks really light compared to the skin but once it is blended it it is my perfect skin shade. As well as the Bourjois foundation I like to use the Bourjois Radiance concealer in the shade 01 Ivory to cover my under eyes circles, it brightens as well as concealers the area which is perfect for a spring healthy makeup look.
To keep my base in place all day I have a few primers/liquid products which keep my makeup in place and gives me a little subtle glow underneath my foundation. The Nivea Post Shaving Balm has been a favourite of mine during the warmer months since last year as it holds my base in place all day and makes me look so healthy. Two new base products that are perfect for the spring time are the Tanya Burr Face Illuminator and L'Oreal True Match Highlighter in Golden Glow which are both are firm favourites of mine.
On my cheeks I have a new blush which I know what your thinking, 'you don't even wear blush?!'. Yes I know I haven't wore blush in probably years but I have finally found a blush that works for me. This Newlook Baked Blush in Morocan Rose which is a golden rose shade which I think really suits my skin tone and looks gorgeous mixed with a golden bronzer. My go to bronzer for the spring time is the Bodyshop Honey Bronzer in 01 which is a super natural bronzer that looks good even when I am really pale.
On my eyes I have two pink palettes which are perfect for the spring time and look gorgeous on the eyes. The first is the W7 In The Nude Palette which I have mentioned a few times and pull it out whenever I want a pinky look. The palette includes some lovely matte shades and a few shimmer shades which wore really well with the matte shades underneath. The other palette is the Seventeen Easy On The Eyes palette in Birthday Suit which includes 4 cream shades and 8 powder shades which I have been using non stop this past week. I like to use the cream golden nude shade as a base for the powder eye shadow and then top it off with the golden pink powder shades which make my eyes pop.
On the lips I have two very similar lip glosses which I like to wear with minimal makeup which are Soap and Glory's Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss in Plumsup and Mac's Cremesheen in Deelight which are both similar baby pink shades which look quite minimal but pretty at the same time. You can whack these glosses on and it looks like you have made a lot of effort.
