Tanya Burr & Real Techniques

The sun is up! Finally the temperatures are rising and during the past 4 or 5 days it was about 16-20°C / 60-68°F outside and even warmer in the sun. I can lay outside on my front porch in shorts and a shirt/top and it's only March! How cool is that? I am definitely enjoying the spring and I really hope that the temperatures are not sinking again. Some people are even talking about us having snow in April, all I can say to that is PLEASE NOT:(. 
I can't wait to go outside in sandals, Birkenstock flats, dresses, skirts and shorts and blog about my favorite spring/summer outfits! Of course I will be going shopping once or twice to get some new items for my "empty closet.." and to satisfy my shopping addiction.

In my last post I mentioned that I was waiting on a package from feelunique.com and of course a couple hours after I uploaded my post it arrived. Though I only ordered a few things I still wanted to share them with you. For those of you who haven't read my "About me", one of my three favorite youtubers/bloggers is Tanya Burr. I admire her, I think she is beautiful, has a great personality and I love, love, love her sense of fashion and her taste in make-up. I have learned a lot about make-up by watching her channel and it kind of started me being so interested in make-up as well. So when Tanya started her own make-up line for lip glosses and nail polish in January I, of course, had to buy some of it. 

Nail polish - Mini Marshmallow
Lip gloss - Afternoon Tea

I only got one lip gloss and one nail polish because I was a little broke after shopping so much in February. As a nail polish I chose the color 'Mini Marshmallow'. It's a very nice pink, kind of almost invisible, meaning it's not obtrusive at all, and because of that you can wear it to every occasion if it's a date, school, work or a party. Mini Marshmallow is exactly the kind of nail polish I was looking for and when Tanya's line first came out on feelunique.com it was obvious to me that I'll get this one first.

This is what Mini Marshmallow looks like

For those of you who have been reading my last few posts you will know that I am a lipstick lover. A lip stick addict. What you don't know is that I am a girl that hates lip gloss. I don't like how sticky it is and I hate it when my hair sticks on my lips. Nevertheless I decided to give Tanya's lip glosses a try after reading really good reviews online. I chose the color 'Afternoon Tea' out of the three I liked the most and I was surprised - in a good way! The lip gloss was great to put on and after a few minutes it wasn't that sticky at all anymore (also it smells delicious!). I chose Afternoon Tea for the same reasons I chose Mini Marshmallow. It's nice to have bright nail polish and -lip sticks but sometimes you're just in a mood for something nice and pretty and for that Afternoon Tea is perfect! It makes your lips look almost natural, but also glossy in a very nice way. This is definitely not the last lip gloss (or nail polish) I got from Tanya's collection!

My little feelunique haul

Together with the Tanya Burr products I ordered two make-up brushes from Real Techniques. One of my best friends is obsessed with the brushes (or make up brushes in general) and through her I first heard of them. After using them at her house and getting my own, I got to say that the Real Technique are my absolute favorite brushes ever. I now own three Real Technique brushes: the powder brush, the foundation brush and the setting brush. Of course I also own a few others brushes of different brands but I like "the british ones" best. I am pretty sure my Real Technique collection will get bigger and bigger by time. This time I ordered the powder- and foundation brush and again I am thrilled! They are so nice and handy and I love the way my make up looks after I put it on with these brushes.

I can only recommend my new items to you! If you are looking for some new nail polish or lip gloss check out Tanya Burr's line on feelunique.com and if you are in need of some new make-up brushes because your old ones just don't go nicely anymore also go to feelunique and look for the Real Technique brushes - they have a huge selection and though they're from such a good quality they are not expensive at all! 

I hope you liked my post and you're already excited for my next post! Some of my best friends from the states asked me to post about one or two things.. so stay tuned!
