Easily one of the sweetest beauty gurus in YouTube, makeup artist Tanya Burr has released an equally sweet line of lip glosses with Eye Candy. I have two contrasting shades here, a super pretty yellow based baby pink in Afternoon Tea and an almost fluorescent hot pink called Exotic Island. They both have candy sweet scents that I neither love nor hate, but some others may have stronger feelings about this. Both of these colours have cream finishes (no glitter flecks in sight!) which is a plus in my book. On first application, they seem a bit sticky that's just a tad mellower compared to the MAC Lipglasses, but once on they somehow lose the tackiness that makes me appreciate them more. The colours are brilliant and I'm warming up to the stickiness a little bit. Of course this is something I will perhaps avoid on the windy weather unless I've got my hair up - see more windy weather tips here. Swatches below -- Can you tell which one I like better?
