So it has been almost a year since I first reviewed the original line-up from Tanya Burr Lips & Nails. Tanya has now expanded her cosmetics range to eyelashes and is now known as Beauty Tanya Burr on social media outlets.
I personally loved the nail polishes and lipglosses and although I have not purchased anymore of the nail products since last year, I have slowly collected all of the lip product since they were first released in January 2014. The shades are Smile, Dream, Sparkle, Champagne Toast, First Date, Just Peachy, Afternoon Tea, Chic, Picnic In The Park, Aurora, Exotic Island, Let's Travel The World, Heart Skipped A Beat and Vampire Kiss.

In November that year, Tanya released 8 more lipglosses as part the core collection. As with the original line-up, the latest editions reflect Tanya's favorite things. The shades are Enchanted Forest, Berry Picking, Chocolate Fondue, Lunch Date, Daydream, Sparkling Dewdrops, I Found Nemo and Aphrodite. I did notice that the Eye Candy exclusive collection does not appear on the new lipglosses except for Berry Picking.

A Christmas edition was also released, called Mistletoe Kisses which is subject to limited availability at Cloud 10 Beauty.

In general, there are two finishes to these lipglosses - a shimmer finish and a creme finish. The shimmer finishes have fine glitter particles which reflect light, giving the appearcne of fuller lips. The cremem finihes are much more pigmented than the shimmer one, so if you are in need of a more intesnse lipgloss, the creme finihes are perfect for you.

The scent of these lipglosses are softly sweet which remind me of the smell that wraps around your nose when you first open a packet of Straburst sweets. The do not feel sticky on the lips like they wear off really nicely without leaving a collection f worn gloss in the centre like other glosses do.

Enchanted Forest is a deep wine reddish purple. Creme finish.

Chocolate Fondue is a sheer chocolate brown. I really wanted this to be deeper than what it is. Somewhere between a sheer and a creme finish.
 |

Berry Picking is the color of berry stained or bitten lips, like a 'your lips but better' kind of color. Has fine gold glitter particles shimmering through it. Shimmer finish.

Champagne Toast is a sheer bronzed tan color. Shimmer finish.

Lunch Date is not too dissimalr from Chic. It is quite hard for me to tell them apart but maybe someone with more of an eye for color would notice. Creme finish.
 |
| Lunch Date |
Afternoon Tea is a terra cotta pink and one of my all time favorite colors of gloss ever invented! Wore it for my wedding day and you can see a photo of that at the end. I know I am boring and repetitive but I can't help it when it comes to this color. Creme finish.

Just Peachy is a pale babydoll pink with a hint of peach. Looks quite scary on me but would look beautiful layered with another color or teamed with a tan. Creme finish.
 |
| Just Peachy |
First Date is a cotton candy pink and although beautiful does not entirely suit me. Doesn't stop me from wearing it though! Creme finish.
 |
| First Date |
Aurora is a mid-tone pink with fine glitter particles. This is another favorite of mine. Creme finish.
 |

Vampire Kiss is a deep, blood red. The reds of this collection are perfect for those who want to try red on their lips but are afraid to commit to fully intense block color of red lipstick. Creme finish.
 |
| Vampire Kiss |
Exotic Island is a fandango purple, kind of deeper than a hot pink color. Although not one of my favorites, this stands out to me as there is no other color like it in the collection. Creme finish.

I have also swatched them in a video so you can see the difference between a flash camera and a moving image. The swatches in the video are show the colors as more true to life on the lips than the photos. I have swatched them in color order so that you can see the varying differences and subtleties between each shade.
Overall, I am so impressed with the Tanya Burr collection, They feel like a luxury product for a high street price. There is something for everyone despite personal preference and age. I hope Tanya adds to these lipglosses. I would love to see more purples and oranges.
RRP: £6.99/€*.50
And just because I can't talk about it enough... here I am wearing Afternoon Tea on my wedding day last May. The perfect bridal color.
