I have uploaded my second of both of my Christmas makeup tutorials. Incase you are struggling with any ideas for tomorrow's big day, then I have uploaded a couple of ideas which you might like to recreate.
This one is all about the bold red lips, and the glittery eyes - the glitter is iridescent so looks as though it is different colours in every light. The glitter which I have used is the SugarPill Lumi Loose Eyeshadow, which I have to say that I am obsessed with. using this with my Too Faced Glitter Glue, helps it to stay on ALL DAY AND NIGHT!
I love this classic look on Christmas, with the red, white, and green.
The majority of these products are Drugstore, but you can easily find dupes for the products which are high end. I have also used a product which is an incredible dupe for the Chanel Tan De Chanel Soleil Bronzer. I love this, and it works perfectly on my pale skin. An amazing point is that it is less than £5!
Every year, I am obsessed with the Holidays - Christmas is my favourite time of the year - and I always like a good excuse to film a new makeup tutorial. I didn't manage to create a Holiday tutorial last year, but uploaded a Get Ready With Me for Boxing Day.
I decided to do two different looks for the Christmas Holiday Season, and the first being my bold eyes, nude lips look. This look isn't as easy as the other, but it looks GORGEOUS!
I haven't really touched my TheBalm Nudetude Palette (swatches here) in a long time, but recently tried it again, and have fallen back in love with it! I wanted to make the eyes the main focus, so decided to add a pink-nude lip (Kate Moss Nude Lipstick in 45), which is great for all skin tones.
Almost all of these products used are drugstore and affordable, and anyone on any budget will be able to recreate this.
The tutorial is below for this look, and the new tutorial for the next look, will
be up tomorrow.
Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

If you have been watching my channel for the last couple of weeks, you will know that I haven't taken part in Vlogmas. Well, that's all changed now!
I have finally uploaded a vlog for vlogmas - which I started in the 15th December. The reason? I have been working full time, including in December, but I have now broken up for christmas, and won't be back at work until January so I have so much more spare time on my hands! YAY!
Here, I have attached my first Day of Vlogmas, where I have a trip to Costco, a mini haul from Victoria's Secret, and explain why I've only just started Vlogmas now.
I get asked a lot of the time how to go from having Bleached Blonde hair to Brunette.
I uploaded a video on this about 2-3 years ago, and I know it helped a lot of you out there, but I have found a more effective way to keep the colour in for longer too.
I really loved my blonde balayage for summer, but my hair just got pretty much killed from the bleaching, and it just isn't look too nice after a while - plus my hair was shedding like a cat! So, I decided to go back to brunette, which I am so happy that I did - as my hair is in much better condition, and has gone back shiny and healthy.
I have listed the products which I used for my hair, and the video shows you how I did this - plus goes in detail about the products.
Products Mentioned:
L'Oreal Preference Dark Intense Auburn Red: http://amzn.to/1NSdKbV
L'Oreal Oreor 20 Vol Developer: http://amzn.to/1TRYM4F
Clairol Nice n' Easy 5C Medium Cool Brown: http://amzn.to/1OLSof1
If you have any questions, feel free to comment on here, or my videos.
So, every year I get asked by my friends, family and Neil, 'What do you want for Christmas?'. My answer is always the same every year, 'I don't know! :(' - with the sad face, because I just can't make up my mind.
I have FINALLY come up with some ideas on some present which I am wishing for - I don't think I will get the bag though, eh? Obviously, I will be super happy and grateful if I don't receive any of these gifts, but I thought I would do a little Wishlist, in case any certain people are reading this and don't know what I would like.
Here, I'll explain why I am wishing for these presents, after spending a very long time in trying to find four things.
Estee Lauder Modern Muse Le Rouge EDP
I had a sample of this perfume, a couple of months ago when I purchased a new bottle of my holy grail Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation, and I have to say that I am in LOVE with it!
You literally only need one spray of this, and it is so strong that you don't need any more. The smell is like something I've never smelt before - it has a strong floral smell at first, and then has hints of berries. Strange? I know.
I was complimented on this by so many people, and I have to say that this is one of my favourite scents that I have ever smelt.
Smashbox #Shapemasters Palette
Now, the only reason that I saw this and knew that I wanted it, was whenI went into Boots with my Mum, and this was half price. There is absolutely no way that I would have asked for this with it being £60 - that's just waaay too much and I would never want anyone to pay that much for a palette.
As I was researching this, I knew that it was something special. It has contour, brows, and eyeshadow all in one. It would be a great palette to take with you if you were travelling, and you wanted one palette for everything. I have seen some swatches and reviews, and some of these colours look Stunning.
YSL Baby Doll Mascara Gift Set
I hauled this mascara a couple on months ago on my channel, and I can't wait for my mascara which I am using to run out, so I can finally open this baby.
Every time I watch Casey Holmes' video on this mascara, I just fall in love with it even more. Even though I haven't tried this yet, I am hoping that I will love it, and would obviously need a back up. Plus, this gift set just looks BEAUTIFUL!
Hopefully, I won't have the same problem with this mascara as I did with my Lancome Hypnose mascara from last year. I now have a gift set of that, which I don't think I will be reaching for, although I am super grateful for receiving it last Christmas.
Michael Kors Selma Saffiano Medium Tote
Last, but not least, I am wishing for this gorgeous bag, in my favourite shade - PINK!
Now, I know that I will most definitely not get this for Christmas, but a girl can dream. (I'll probably end up purchasing it from America when I go next year anyway for half of the price).
This bag is so stunning, amazing quality, and not too expensive for a Designer Handbag. I already have my Hamilton Tote which I purchased from the US a couple of years ago, and it is still going strong.
Michael Kors bags, are the only designer bags which I lust over, and this is no exception!
For the last couple of years, I have been getting lots and lots of comments from you lovely people all about Hair Extensions.
I have been uploading DIY Hair Extension Videos for the last two years, and I have answered so many of your questions in FAQ videos on my channel. A question that always keeps popping up on my videos, is about if a specific type of extension will be ok in specific types of hair.
I thought that it would just be easier for me to do a whole video on which extensions are the best for which hair type - obviously you don't have to go and have these specific extensions done. I thought this would be a great way to answer all of these questions, and to offer my own experience, my professional opinion (I'm a Qualified Hair Extension Stylist), and things that I had learnt when I was training in Hair Extensions.
I have had so much experience with extensions, and have tried the majority of extensions (I also have some reviews on my channel), and have a great idea of what worked and didn't work in my hair. Also, the positives and negatives of these extensions. The only extensions which I don't have a personal experience with are weaves - my hair is too thin for weaves.
If you have any more questions, which I haven't answered in this video - or in my other extension videos on my channel - just leave me a comment either here, or on my videos, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
Hi Guys,
If you are as obsessed as me with Makeup, and have been watching Youtube for a number of years, you will have seen so many Youtubers talking about NYX Cosmetics, and how great their products are!
If you live here in the UK, then you know how hard it was for us to get our hands on NYX (Amazon wanted atlas triple the price of the retail price).
I went online, doing a little bit of shopping, the other week, and came across NYX at Feelunique. I was so shocked and super excited to get my hands on some of these products - is that crazy? - but was disappointed when I found out that the majority of their items were sold out! Especially the ones which I wanted to purchase.
Skip ahead a couple of hours, and I'm searching for my favourite Dry Shampoo on Boots - Batiste in Dark Brunette, if you didn't already know - and saw that they have recently just stocked NYX! Cue the childlike screams - and I managed to pick up everything I wanted for the same price, and none was Out Of Stock - Hooray!!
I picked up 3 products in total, but these are ones which I have been researching for a long time, so I knew straight away that I wanted them.
Check out everything that I purchased in my New Beauty Haul (below).
All of the NYX Products were purchased from www.boots.com.
So, if you watch my channel regularly, you will notice that I haven't had many videos uploaded in the last couple of week.
The reason for this? Everything that I use for filming my usual videos has broken! I have had to order new things for my channel, which took a while to come, but are now here, and I can now film as normal!
I explain everything in my latest two videos (below) - vlog style, as I could not use my camera :(
Check back next week, for more videos! :)
enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

I absolutely love Fall/Autumn and Winter, as you can experiment with a lot of dark colours, and I'm never one to turn down a dark lip!

Hi Guys,
If you watch my channel, you will know that I am a total Bargain Hunter, and I don't really like to spend a lot of money on my beauty products or clothes.
Yes, I do have some expensive makeup (Estee Lauder Double Wear), but there are certain parts on my face/skin where I have to buy specific products, as I am super sensitive and have problematic skin.
I was looking through the comments from one of my Makeup Revolution Hauls, and one of my subscriber stated that she would like to have an Ebay Haul. I thought this was perfect for me, as I am always shopping online and am always on the lookout for Bargains. (If you didn't already know, Makeup Revolution are a super affordable makeup brand with dupes of high end products)
Whilst looking on Amazon, I had seen a few reviews on specific products from a few people saying that their products were dupes for high end products, and who am I to pass up a dupe? One was a dupe for the amazing Benefit They're Real Mascara for under £3! I literally couldn't pass up this opportunity, so I decided to purchase a couple of things (after I had been stalking blog posts to see if they were exact dupes, and they were).
So, here is my Ebay and Amazon Haul for you. I loved filming my bargains for you, and some new comparison videos will be up very very soon! All of the products have been listed below, and links to where you can purchase them (some are SOLD OUT, so I'm very sorry for that).
All of these items - other than the shoes - were under £5, so totally affordable!
I had a lot of questions from some of you when I posted this photo to instagram (below) about which Hair extensions I was wearing. As you will know, I have been obsessed with extensions for the last couple of years, and have tried pretty much every method out there.
As I am a Qualified Hair Extension Stylist, I know the things to look out for and I can tell if i don't like something about an set of extensions. I have been trying extensions for the last 3 years, and I think I have a pretty good idea if they will last.
The things I test with every lot of extensions is:
How do they react with heat? Are they really Human Hair Extensions?
Thickness?
Length?
How do they wash?
Is the colour correct?
Is the customer service good?
Price?
In this review, I look at all of these aspects in the hair extensions. This, I feel, can determine if the extensions are good, and if I would repurchase them.
I was sent these extensions for free from Uniwigs, but in no way does that mean that I was told to do a positive review. I would never recommend a product if I don't like it (of you have seen my last Uniwigs review, you will know how true this is).
The reason I have not worn these in any video, is because I don't want to show a product off, if I don't know if it's worth the money.
As you will probably remember, I uploaded a Mini BH Cosmetics Haul on my blog last month here.
Here are the swatches that I promised of each of the eyeshadow palettes. The only one I haven't used for my makeup yet, is the 'Eyes on the 80s' Palette. But I have to say, I am totally obsessed with the Baked Eyeshadow palettes - they're super pigmented, can be used wet and dry, and blend like a dream!
I'm not too impressed with the 80's Palette, as it felt as though the majority of the shades are very chalky and did';t have much pigmentation - although the colours were pretty incredible shades. The shimmer shades were the best with pigmentation, and the neutral shades (bottom row) were probably the worst, as they didn't show up too well.
Enjoy the swatches,
Chloe xoxo

If you have been watching my channel for a while, it will come as no surprise to you that I am obsessed with this Waterproof mascara! Plus, you will probably have already worked out which mascara I am talking about.
It s super affordable, and from the Drugstore. So, even if you're on a budget, you will be able to purchase this.
I love it, mainly, for the fact that it is the only mascara that I have found to be completely waterproof. I have been in the shower, been to a water park, and this mascara does not budge!
Check out the video (above) to find out which Mascara I am speaking about!
My Mum has recently received a new Sushi Making Set for her birthday (even though it's not until Monday), and she kept badgering myself and my sister to help her to make it.
Finally, this morning, we gave in.
I love Vegetarian and Duck Sushi - I don't like fish, and uncooked fish freaks me out - and my Mum is probably the most obsessed, since I had introduced her to it a couple of months ago in a Marks & Spencer food outlet.
In her kit, she has everything that you need to make sushi - bamboo mat, seaweed sheets, sushi vinegar etc.
For our Sushi, we used multiple ingredients:
Chicken (some with teriyaki)
Beetroot
Carrot
Cucumber
Red Peppers
Leeks
More Seaweed (for decorations)
All that I can say is, it's not as easy and straight forward as we had thought.
I have posted a photo of one of the trays of our finished Sushi - the other tray looked completely mutated. But for our first try, I don't think they looked too bad.
So, I have recently started too upload videos to my vlog channel, but I haven't really been vlogging a lot, it only has one video. But I hope that you enjoy the video, and I look forward to uploading some new ones very soon!
If you have been watching my channel for a while, you will notice that I upload Birchbox & GlossyBox Unboxing videos. These unboxing videos are now going to be moved to my vlog channel.
I have recently purchased some new products from BH Cosmetics, and it was first time I have ordered from them. All I can say is that I'm super excited to use them!
I had seen that they had an offer on, where you receive a free mascara with purchases over $15.
I have seen on some of Casey Holmes' and Blair Fowler's Videos that they are constantly raving about BH Cosmetics, so I decided to take the plunge and make a purchase.
I have seen many makeup tutorials from Casey Holmes, so chose the ones that I liked the look of, and I simply fell in love as soon as they arrived.
Click on the names and it will take you to the link of where to purchase them. If you would like to see swatches, I will post another blog post with swatches of all palettes. Swatches are here!
Enjoy,

As a lot of you will be going back to school very soon (some of you have already started again), I thought that I would share a Back to School Makeup Tutorial for you.
All of the products that I have used are completely 100% Drugstore/Affordable, and this also includes all brushes and sponges used too.
I thought that this was a great look that anyone can recreate, including my sister who has just started school again. The eyes are subtle, with a hint of shimmer, and the lips do all of the talking! Also, it's super easy to recreate!
I used a new mascara in this video, and I have to tell you that I am a little obsessed with how it has made my eyelashes stand out!
Enjoy,

As it's Summertime, the sun is super strong, and literally making my makeup sweat off of my face on some of the days at work.
I work in an Office, and it is almost like a Sauna in the Summer - perfect isn't it? And I wanted to try to find a way to keep all of my makeup on all day, and the make it look as though I've just put it on, or I have a healthy glow.
I have heard so many people rave about Makeup Setting Sprays, here on Youtube, so decided to try out some of the highest rated and best selling sprays.
I haven't tried a setting spray before, so I really didn't know how it was going to look on my skin, and even if it would make the slightest difference.
Check out my video (above) to see how I feel the All Nighter Setting Spray from Urban Decay did during the whole day. I had the best conditions to try it out in (summer sun and heat) so I feel as though I had really put it to the test!
As I am a Youtube and studying to be a Makeup Artist, I have been searching for some great hair and beauty products!
I do have a couple of holy grail products which I swear by and 1 million percent recommend to every single one of you.
I try out new products and most raved about products on the internet, and some end up being not all they live up to be. Here, I have a couple of products which I really didn't like, and I hated them so much that I didn't use them up (and I probably won't either).
Some of these products were raved about on youtube, where people were comparing them got high-end dupes, and they just didn't live up to the hype.
Now, because they haven't worked for me, doesn't mean that your opinion is wrong if it worked for you - everything works differently for everyone - it's just my own opinion :)
If there are any product which you have tried out that you really don't like, let me know.
It's officially summer, and I thought I would show you a tutorial on the make-up you have been seeing me wear in my videos for the last couple of weeks.
Theres shimmer on the eyes, lips and face, as well as Pink everywhere too!
The eye look is created with my Makeup revolution Iconic 3 Palette, which I absolutely love - and is also a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette. This is also the first tutorial I have done where I am not using false eyelashes. the reason for this, is because I don't usually wear them anymore since I have recently discovered my FAVOURITE Mascara - the Benefit Roller Lash!
If you have been watching some of my recent videos (from the last couple of months), you would have seen that the majority of the time, I have been sporting a Nude Lip.
I am slightly obsessed with the Nude Lips now, as I like to wear bold eyes with lashes, and I feel that a nude lip compliments it very well.
It's taken me a very long time to be able to find the 'perfect' Nude Lip for my skin tone - in Autumn and Winter I'm Porcelain; and am tanned in Spring and Summer. Even when I am tanned, I am still pale (I go up to an N3 in Loreal True Match), so I wanted to find the best shade which compliments both skin tones.
I have come to find that for us Pale Skin Girlies, we suit a nude shade best when it has a hint of pink to it. And I have found my Perfect Nude Lip products!
Ever since the whole 'Kylie Jenner Lip' thing came out last year, I had wanted to try one of the shades which she uses - Mac Velvet Teddy - but I didn't really want to pay £15 for it, so went on a little scavenger hunt to find something similar. So I went on a little scavenger hunt, and managed to find a shade which is almost identical, but has a smidge more pink to it, and I love it more than Velvet Teddy!
The lip products which I am talking about, are super affordable and are amazing! These are the Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in shade 03, and the Essence Lip Liner in 11 - In The Nude.
These products retail for £5.99 for the lipstick, and only £1 for the lipliner.
The lipstick has a gorgeous scent - smells a little like fruits and chocolate - and the colour it gives off is a super pigmented pinky nude shade. I absolutely love this look, and it goes with every colour of makeup I am wearing.
Whilst wearing this lip combo, I have had so many compliments and so many people asking me which shade I am wearing, and they can't believe that it's so affordable! It also lasts a good few hours on my lips, even with drinking and eating, which I love even more.
So for all of you fair skinned and lightly tanned girlies, this would be an amazing nude lip combo, which will compliment your skin amazingly!
I also have a makeup tutorial using these lip products for you.
If you have recently been watching my channel, you will know that I have uploaded a new Makeup revolution Haul this week.
I am slightly obsessed with Makeup revolution, and always have to place an order in when they have new products released.
I recently took advantage of a 20% off offer which they are holding for everyone who is subscribe to their newsletter - you even get 20% off of sale products too!
My haul is above for you, so you can see all of the products which I purchased. I have also added swatches on all of the palettes which Purchased so you can see the pigmentation of them.
This palette contains 12 shades in rose gold, gold and brown shades. I have seen so many blog posts comparing this to the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette, and I have to say that it is pretty much identical.
As you can see from the swatches, the matte shades are not as pigmented as the shimmer shades, but they are all super beautiful and buttery, and they blend like a dream.
Shades 1-6 with no Primer
Shades 7-12 with no Primer
I Heart Chocolate Palette
This palette contains 16 shades - 5 Matte and 11 Shimmer. I have seen many people comparing this to the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette, and I have to say that the similarity is uncanny. They literally look exactly the same!
From the swatches, you can see that, again, the matte shades aren't as pigmented as the shimmer shades, but they still are so beautiful. The blend amazingly, and the pigmentation is literally incredible.
The packaging is amazing, and you can tell that they have put so much thought into it. It makes it stand out so much more than any of the other palettes I have. It literally looks like a melting bar of chocolate, and has a light chocolate scent to it to...Yum!
This is probably my favourite palette from Makeup Revolution that I own. Love, Love, Love!
Top Row Swatches: (L-R) You Need Love; Piece Me Together; One More Piece;
Bottom Row Swatches: (L-R) Smooth Criminal; Love Chocolate; You Need More;
What A Way To Go; Endorphins Ready
Highlighter Palette - Radiance
This is a palette containing Makeup Revolution 3 Best Selling Highlighters - Breathe, Exhale & Glow.
All of these highlighters are warm toned highlighters, so are great for summer and for all skin tones.
I have seen many videos and blog posts comparing this palette to the Hourglass Ambient Lighing Palette. I don't agree with this fully, as the Hourglass palette has a two shades which are more pink toned. But both palettes look very similar with their shimmer and texture.
Exhale is the shade which I believe is best suited for pale skin tones - as it is the least warm toned shade, and is very pale.
Breathe and Glow are perfect if you have tanned skin, a these will enhance your glow, without making you look orange.
I love that these shades are pigmented and shiny - not glittery. This is great, as you will not look like a disco ball if you over do the highlight, as it is pretty hard to build up too much product.
As you probably already know, I hit 1,000 subscriber recently. And as promised, I have done an International Giveaway to say a big Thank you to my lovely subscribers!

If you are under 18, you must have your parents permission.
I know it's been a while since I have done one of my Skin Secrets posts, but I've just been super busy! I have chosen this week to show you one of my favourite products I can not live without!
If you watch my youtube videos, you will know exactly which product I am about to talk about, to create my super soft lips.
The product which I am talking about is the Carmex Lip Balm Tubes. These retail for only £1.65!
Not only are these lip balms the best I have tried - plus my holy grail lip balm - they are also super affordable and smell absolutely stunning!
For the past year, I have been using the Cherry flavour, but wanted to change it up a little, once the smell was getting a little too strong for me, so I decided to try the Strawberry. When I had first started using the Strawberry, I was a little unsure about if it was making my lips feel as soft, as my lips weren't tingling - which is what they did with the Cherry version.
But, since I have been using the Strawberry for the past month, I have to say that this is by far my favourite out of the bunch!
A great thing about this lip balm is that it contains SPF15! So, even whilst it is super hot outside, your lips will not burn or crack, and you don't need to pop an SPF lip balm or suncream on your lips, as this lip balm has it covered.
Another great aspect of this product, is that you can really feel and see it working. Once I have applied the lip balm, I can smell it straight away - which I love - and it gradually starts to tingle. It's not to the point where it feel like a burning sensation, or like plumping lip gloss - remember those days?. But it feels sort of like a relaxing sensation. Am I strange?
The thing which made me realise that it was absolutely perfect, was that it is the only lip balm I have used, which can keep up with my chapped lips. If my lips are severely chapped, I just pop this baby on several times a day, and within 2 days, I literally have no dry skin left! My lips get to the point of going numb and feeling as though I have granules of sugar in my lips because of how dry they are, and this literally makes them feel 'baby smooth'.
I did try another lip balm last year, as I purchased quite a few EOS balms as there was a giant hype going around youtube and with celebrities at the time, I decided to stop using Carmex, and switch over to EOS. Big Mistake! They dried out my lips more, and my lips were super numb after a couple of days. Thank goodness I had my Carmex on hand, because they changed my lips back to normal within a couple of days.
So, if you suffer with super chapped lips, or love fragranced lip balms, I would definitely suggest that you try Carmex out! They are super affordable, and are the best around!
If you have seen my recent Haul (below), you will know that I purchased some items from makeup Revolution - plus other brands.
One of the products which I purchased is a Brand NEW eyeshadow palette from Makeup Revolution - Mermaids Forever. Now, if you have seen my videos, you will know that I am obsessed with Mermaids - The Little Mermaid is my favourite Disney movie, and Ariel is my favourite Disney Princess.
So I literally couldn't wait to get my hands on this gorgeous palette, and I have to tell you that I am not disappointed! The colours are gorgeous, and go well with the theme of Mermaid and the Sea. There are 32 shades in this palette, with all of them being Shimmer shades (although I do believe that I can see some shades which are almost matte).
The shades go in a gradient, with the lightest shades being on the left side of the palette, and the darkest on the right side.
My favourite shades from this palette have to be Sea, Ariel, Ocean and Waves. The colours are just so pigmented, incredibly shimmery, and just plain gorgeous.
The outside packaging is gorgeous, and shows off the 'Sea' theme very well. It makes me extremely excited, even before you see the palette! The casing, is just like any normal eyeshadow palette from Makeup Revolution, but slightly larger than the standard Iconic Pro palette.
To show you how great these shadows are, and how highly pigmented they are, I have done swatches of every shade. As you can see, the 'matte' shades are not as pigmented as the rest, but all photos are done without a primer.
I'm very excited to start playing around with these shadows and to create some amazing looks for you!
