Lip Gloss

My Tanya Burr Lip Gloss Collection 

Hello Lovelies. I'm Jordan Nicole :) I am very into Youtube. I like Youtubers. I like the videos they make. I like the products they produce. I do not try and hide this fact. Now that I have disclosed that we can get on to the topic of the day: Tanya Burr Cosmetics. 

Tanya is a Youtuber/Blogger* who was at one time a professional makeup artist. If you are looking for wonderful makeup tutorials then I highly recommend her videos. On top of her expertise she also has the loveliest and most bubbly personality you will ever come across. Put simply, I love her.

Moving on to our actual topic, her cosmetic line. Specifically her lip glosses. Since I live in the U.S. I unfortunately can't get my hands on any of her nail polish but I have quite a large collection of her lip glosses. She has had two line releases and I have colors from both.

Ultimately the reason I love this range is not because Tanya made them (although I think it is amazing what she has accomplished!) but because they are phenomenal. The quality is ridiculous. The formula is everything you could want from a lip gloss. It feels amazing on your lips, they smell wonderful, they are long lasting and the pigmentation is on point. She also has produced every color you could need. I reach for a color from her line daily. 

I'm only missing four of the original line & six of the second release. I also didn't manage to get the limited edition Christmas one, which was tragic. She has overall released 21 shades and I am lucky enough to have ten of them. The top two on my wish list at the moment are Chic & I Found Nemo. Both of them are currently sold out which should give some indiction of how amazing they are!

In Order: Champagne Toast, First Date, Just Peachy, Afternoon Tea, Picnic In The Park, Aurora, Berry Picking, Lets Travel The World, Vampire Kiss, Enchanted Forest. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and got an idea of what color you'd like to try from Tanya's lip gloss line :) It is lovely and I'm sure you'd love it. You can click here to go check the entire line out. Also go take a look at her blog and youtube channel, both wonderful as well. If you have any questions or suggestions be sure to leave them in the comments below!

Set Fire To The Rain

August Favorites 

Hello Lovelies. I'm Jordan Nicole :) I am going to start this post by simply stating that I have gotten very behind on not only my blog but this post especially. We are not seven days into the month of Pumpkin Spice Lattes and I am just not getting around to doing my August favorites. With all of the things happening in my life I have felt a bit overwhelmed and this has caused my ideas for my blog to feel a bit smothered. I am desperate to jump back into things as this has been an amazon outlet for me and I really enjoy it. I am going to keep things very minimal this month on the favorites front but I am determined not to miss a month so I hope that you enjoy it all the same! 

Fashion

Black Floral Dress 

When my mother offered me the $100 gift card to Target that she had gotten from work I walked into the store with every intention of buying things with it that I would not have purchased for myself. As always that did not happen because the second I got into the clothing section I spotted this dress and knew that it would be in my closet later that day. The only justification I have for this dress (because I have about twenty dresses that have a floral pattern) is that it is black and I don't own much black. Regardless, I love it and have worn it a ton since I bought it.

Accessories

Mustard Cardigan 

This was one of the items I purchased with that same gift card that was something I really needed in my wardrobe but never would have purchased for myself. I have gotten a ton of use out of it since I bought it and I am so excited to wear it more as we get further into autumn (it is my favorite season and I have already pulled out all of my fall scents).

Beauty

Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick 14

I have been searching for a "my lips but better" lipstick for a long time now and when I picked this up on that same Target trip I was overjoyed. I put it on in the car right after we walked out and confirmed that it was indeed the perfect color for my lips. It is now my go-to color for every day :) The formulation is wonderful, it keeps your lips moisturized and the color lasts. 

Food

Twinning's English Breakfast Tea

I have always wanted to be a tea drinker, which has been difficult because I do not like tea in the slightest. I have tried time and time again to make myself enjoy it, taking tips from friends who drink it, but it had never worked. The things that finally turned it around was when I watched multiple Youtube videos on the British tag. One of the questions was "Do you use cream and sugars?" and I suddenly had the realization that people make tea in the same way that I make coffee. Since that day I have been drinking english breakfast tea with cream and a sugar. 

Entertainment

Tyler Oakley's Auguest

I have many favorite Youtubers and Tyler Oakley is definitely one of them. When he announced that he would be bringing back his month of collaborations again this year I was ecstatic. I love collab videos and no one does them better than Tyler. If you haven't watched the entire months worth of videos then I highly suggest you go and check them out. Tyler's laugh is the best sound you will ever hear and there are tons of them during Auguest :) Some of my favorites from this year were his videos with Zoella (Zoe Sugg), Connor Franta, Miranda Sings & Jenna Marbles. 

This was a very short and very late favorites but I am going to be on top of next month! I've missed this my blog and am going to give it the love it deserves :) As always let me know what your monthly favorites were in the comments below!
