I have been a huge fan of Tanya Burr ever since she first started making beauty videos on her YouTube channel years ago. With her bright personality and amazing makeup looks, her videos are always entertaining to watch. Last year, she released her own line of lip glosses and nail polishes in collaboration with Eye Candy. When I first saw the photos on her blog, I was immediately drawn to the beautiful lip glosses and knew that I had to get one for myself. Out of the 12 shades, the one that stood out to me the most was “Exotic Island.” It is a beautiful bright pink with a hint of purple. I decided to buy it and have loved it ever since!
Like I said, it is a beautiful shade that is really bright, and it definitely stands out. It does not have any shimmer in it, but it does have a glossy finish that really plumps the lips and makes them look bigger. The formula is quite nice; it is a bit sticky but really moisturizing, and it definitely lasts a long time. The glossy finish will fade after a couple of hours, but the bright pink stays on, kind of like a lip stain. I like that the gloss is really pigmented and creamy, reminding me of a liquid lipstick. It also smells amazing — exactly like candy.
Overall, this lip gloss has become one of my favorites, and I am definitely interested in trying some more from the collection!
The Tanya Burr Lip Gloss in “Exotic Island” retails for £6.99/€7.61 ($8.50–$10.50).
