Purple Rain

Hey everyone :) 

As it's been getting colder in the UK, the last thing I want to do is wear a bright lip when it will just higlight how chapped my lips really are. Instead, I have been wearing a new lip combo which is a dark purple and I am definately not a dark lip girl, but I have fallen in love. 
The lipstick is Topshop Inhibition which is a dark plum colour with a satin, matte finish so it isn't tooo drying. This is my first Topshop lipstick, and I am definately impressed. It really matches up to my MAC lipsticks, and the lasting power is amazing. Also, for only £8.00 (£7.20 with student discount) you can't go wrong. I think I might purchase more makeup products from Topshop. 

Anyways, I paired the lipstick up with my NYX Purple Rain lip liner which is a lighter purple colour, and this gives me the perfect colour for my skin tone.I have been obsessed with this winter lip. It does make me look a bit gothy but I'm quite liking that look at the moment.

Do you like this look? What's your favourite winter lip combo?
Lots of Love

Valentines Day

Hey guys :) 
As it was valentines day on Friday, the boyfriend and I went for a meal at Coast to Coast which is an American style restaurant. The food was amazing and I loved the dessert. I was boring and got a margertia pizza with fries and he got 3 mini burgers with a side of sweet potato fries. For dessert, we got a warm brownie with honeycomb icecream and a side of cream. It was delicious although I was stuffed so he ate most of it haha.

After some food we went to the cinema to see Endless Love which I couldn't wait to see as I am a sucker for a romantic haha. It was good but not as good as I was expecting.

I wanted to dress really girly and dressy and wanted to wear heels but as we were going to the cinema after the meal, I also wanted to be comfy so I went really casually in my uggs, grey H&M jeggings and a purple chiffon vest from New Look, plus it was pissing it down.
As I was dressed casually, I did my makeup quite dramatiic with a red lip which was Mac Ri Ri Woo which is my favourite red :-) (Sorry I took my photos of myself, I couldn't get good lighting)

Here's some photos that I took, what did you do for valentines day? Or do you loathe it? I think it's a good chance to get up and get dressed up whether you're taken or single.
Lots of Love

Edinburgh

Hello :) 
So the boyfriend and I went to Edinburgh for our anniversary and it was a great chance for me to try out my new camera which is the Canon IXUS 135. I didn't want a big bulky camera so this is perfect. Anyways, I had been to Edinburgh before but only shopping, never sight seeing or the zoo (shocking I know) haha. So I thought I'd share some of the pictures I took.
Lots of Love

Dress is from Missguided :)

Tanya's Secret - Who Am I?!

Hiyaa :-) Welcome to my blog, Tanya's Secret. 
After a couple of wanting to start a blog, starting one when I was 18 and then never publishing, I have created a new one and I am determined to stick at it this time. I love to read other blogs and watch Youtube videos especially those that are beauty, hair and fashion related so I can't wait to do posts on similar things. The type of posts you will hopefully read on my blog will include, fashion and beauty hauls, product reviews, outfit of the days, my month favourites and maybe even daily life updates and more. I love trying to new things and have many favourites so I can't wait to start sharing my beauty and fashion secrets with you all. 
So about me, I am a 20 year old girl from Newcastle. Currently studying Business and Management at university as I would love to own my business. 
Let the fun begin, I hope you all enjoy :D 
Love Tanya xxx


And this is me :)
