Tanya Burr Lip Gloss



When Tanya announced she was launching a range of lipglosses and nail polishes at the end of January, the beauty and twitter-spheres collided in an excitable buzz. The results? A stunning collection of colours and names that were carefully chosen by Tanya herself. You can get the glosses here on Feel Unique but unfortunately the nail polishes won't ship internationally. Choosing just one lipgloss was not easy-the shades are all stunning. In the end I settled on Afternoon Tea but after seeing how gorgeous Aurora was in person I imagine I'll be back for that in the future. Anyway, here's what I thought..


One thing I noticed is some blogs have complained about the amount of product. The Tanya Burr glosses have 8ml of product in them which is more than a Bobbi Brown or Mac lipgloss. They're also friendlier on the wallets. The packaging is gorgeous-very luxe and reminiscent of higher end lipglosses. Afternoon Tea is quite a peachy pink. It has a cream finish and there's no shimmer throughout so the colour is more opaque. It is super easy to apply, the applicator hugs your lips. It is also deliciously scented-like strawberry milkshakes. Now what I love most about this gloss is it is not sticky. There's nothing worse than a gloss which leaves you pulling flyaway hairs from your lips. It also has surprisingly brilliant lasting power. Once the glossy finish has worn off you are still left with the colour on your lips so touchups become optional.

Tanya Burr may have just turned me into a lipgloss convert and from what my giveaway winner tells me, Aurora is just as fabulous.


*Have you tried any of the Tanya Burr lip and nail products? Which were your favourites?

    1. Totally agree! Their divine scent is up there with the NYX butter glosses x

  2. I've been skeptical whether or not to order one as I am definitely not a lip gloss person, but I want to support the lovely Tanya! Just wish the nail polish would ship to NZ :(

    1. I do like lipgloss with the exception of overly sticky ones and these aren't sticky at all. They're such creamy, pigmented glosses. I wish the nail polish would ship here too-who knows, someone may have popped the colours up on eBay? x
