Inflencers (And Topshop) Vs Highstreet.
I am truly shocked by how make up trends
change with time. How ‘trends’ change from the ultimate flick to the subtle
nude lipsticks we all know and love.
With so many tutorials at our finger tips we are in an age where make up
has the ability to make people feel and look our best. Recently there has been an ever evolving
chance for fashion brands and influencers to reach out into the Beauty
industry.
Ever growing opportunities, its no
surprises that the quality of products have sky rocketed, with many influential
companies failing short. In some cases I find myself being drawn to
influencers/ fashion branded products; more so than high street beauty brands.
‘With products rivaling the cost of
the high-street influencer’s and alike are proof that no matter the budget, everyone deserves quality’.

Tanya Burr is a world renowned influencer with
an insanely loyal fan base- the best kind in my opinion. It was no surprise
when Tanya Burr cosmetics launched in Superdrug, it struggled to stay on the
stores. Since Tanya has grown her empire and most recently launched, my
personal favorite lipstick- ever, Bear Hugs.
Bear Hug, is stunning. The perfect peachy
nude for day to day wear. I love using this product over a clear lip balm to
create a stunning peach gloss effect. The colour last well into the day and
only fades slightly when drinking copious amounts of coffee.
Being highly affordable(£6.99), Tanya Burr
Cosmetics are really pushing the boundaries of influence cosmetics. I have seen so many reviews on many of Tanya
Burr Cosmetic’s, and I am so happy to say that I am a complete convert to this
brand.
The only downside is that Superdrug tend to
sell out of the brands products quite a lot, so visiting in stores will always
be a little lack luster. Although, with many stores struggling to keep products
on shelves, surely that is justification enough for Tanya Burr Cosmetics to
expand more than ever.
TopShop

Topshop are really taking over the world.
From LA to London Topshop have launched
a fantastic affordable cosmetic line with outstanding products. One of the
massive issues I have with stores selling cosmetic products in stores is that
many products get opened; sometime it can be really hit and miss, sometimes
your lipstick has been swatched on someone else.
Topshop is obviously an incredible British
Brand, being shown on LFW and creating stunning campaigns. Embracing ‘trends’
in both fashion and beauty, Topshop is really a cut above the rest. Having one
finger on the pulse at all time- no one can discredit the ever evolving brand.

Topshop eyeliner both Kohl and Liquid are
amazing, especially if you prefer a stiff wand as I do. The colour payoff is
amazing. Many Liquid and kohl eyeliners can become washed out or faded. This
budgeted Topshop eyeliner completely opposite; it is so dark and lasts a long
time. Neither of these products are water proof, so they will move when
moisture is around. But for the price, what did you really expect?
Real
Techniques, any product.

Real Techniques is a brand owned by the
most inspiring influencers I have ever had the pleasure of watching. Sam and
Nic Chapman have really introduced the idea of quality, yet affordable
products. I have not (and doubt I will)
found a poor Real Techniques product
yet.
Real Techniques Miracle Make up Sponge is
truly incredible. Varying different angles allow for the sponge to reach areas
which a brush would find difficult. The microfiber foam soaks up any access
coverage leaving your face flawless and not cakey. I find rinsing the sponge in
water really helps with blending products together.
Pixiwoo is an amazing YouTube Channel and I
am so happy that no matter the challenges they have in life really are building
an empire which many can only dream off.

I love this and love every RT product I've tried... wasn't keen on the sponge at first but now love it! They can do no wrong in my eyes... whenever anyone asks for brush recommendations it's them. Every time.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried the Topshop eyeliner (I can't do winged eyeliner...) but I've tried a few of the TB products, the bronzer in the palette reminds me Nars Laguna so recommend that. I need to try her lipsticks now! Xxxxx

I completely agree, Real Techniques are seriously one of the best make up companies I have ever used. I totally agree with the sponge. I didn't see the fuss but now I can't be without it.
DeleteWinged liner is so difficult I completely get it. Yes! Its been driving me crazy what their bronzer reminded me off!
I haven't actually tried products from any of these brands before! I have always been a bit wary of buying makeup from stores that more regularly sell clothing (like Topshop, H&M etc.) because I have been worried about the quality being bad - but it seems like Topshop's is actually pretty good! I'm always on the lookout for a good liquid liner so I may have to pick that up! Thanks for sharing!

No problem, its such an afford able price too, I think its like £4.
DeleteI love Topshop makeup especially the lipsticks as they are good easy to wear products! Really nice formula too. Have only really tried brushes from RT and they've been good too.
ReplyDeleteI've heard their lipsticks are meant to be amazing!
DeleteTheir brushes are great I cant be with out them! x
I still need to try out the Tanya Burr range, but I love the look of the packaging. Also, RT are my favourite brushes ever! They are so good!

Ooh Tanya Burr is one of the most amazing influencers! I love her range xx
ReplyDeleteIts totally amazing. I love it.
DeleteI think Topshop's make up is great, I've never tried anything by Tanya but i've heard good things about her products x

Honestly Tanyas range is just incredible!
DeleteI love Topshops make up
I completely agree with the comment about the real technique sponges! Aren't they great? I don't apply a base anymore because it's summer and my eczema makes it impossible, but they were a great way of achieving a flawless finish every time! Their eye brushes, too--I've recently tried some by makeup revolution and they just don't compare!
ReplyDeleteI love your recommendations. I'm definitely going to check out that top shop eyeliner. I haven't used a pen version in a while, since getting on well with the liquid version, but I'm definitely going to revisit it!

Aww that's such a shame! I hope he clears up soon.
DeleteI LOVE the RT sponge.
Aww thank you. Its so difficult when you haven't used a pen in a while. Let me know how it goes! x
I've never actually tried a single Tanya Burr product and I don't know why!! I always hear fab things about Bear Hugs too, maybe I just need to go get it haha! Real Techniques is also one of my favourite brush brands cause of them being vegan, microfibre so dry SO quickly, and they're reasonable too.
ReplyDeletelots of love Izzy | http://www.adoseofchatter.com
Bear hug is seriously my perfect peachy nude. You seriously need to get your hands on it- although there is never any in store.
DeleteI have to admit I only recently found out that they're vegan. It definitely shocked me there isn't many vegan friendly brands on the high street. x
I'm quite a big fan of Tanya's cosmetics (only happened recently) and I'm surprised at their quality as some items brought out by influences can be shockingly bad. Real Technique brushes are what started my addiction to brushes, and nearly 3 years later the first sets I got are still going strong.

I haven't really tried any bad influencer products. I really try research brands- im a bit of aa control freak.
DeleteWe were talking about this at work today. 3 YEARS! That's some going. Such great quality brushes. x
I love Topshop and RT products! They are both great and such decent prices. I'm actually not a big fan of Tanya Burr cosmetic's though, maybe I have to try more
ReplyDeleteLauren | Lauren the Daydreamer
I think its just preferences, my friends doesn't like the formula of some of Tanyas products. I think its a bit like marmite.
DeleteI am obsessed with RT its such a great brand. And obviously love Topshop, too. x
I love Real Techniques so much, I've never tried TopShop products though! Also a fan of Tanya's produces too! Great post babe xx
ReplyDeleteIts such an amazing brand, I don't think you ever would look and think oh a 'youtuber' created that brand. It stands up to sooo many high end brands.
DeleteThank you xx
I've only tried RT out of all of theses; I swear by their brush sets! I want to get my hands on some Tanya Burr stuff though although I can't say I know very much about her at all!

I am absolutely obsessed with there sets, my personal favourite is their base set. I love it.
DeleteIts really difficult- there were only a few on the stand.

I can always rely on Real Techniques when it comes to their brushes. My most favourite kohl liner is actually from Topshop as well - amazing to tightline with and stays on all day :)
