My Christmas Wishlist 2017!

My Christmas Wishlist

Every year, I always get asked what I would like for Christmas, and I always say the same thing - 'I don't know'. 

Every year, I find it so hard to actually find anything that I'd like. This is mainly because if I need something, I'll just go ahead and buy it myself. 

This year, I actually managed to find four things that I's like for Christmas, and one of them is basically just a 'filler' present. For instance, I do really like this present, but I've pretty much got something very similar to the point where I don't really need them. 

Here's the only four things which are on my Wishlist. Of course, if I don't get these for Christmas, I'll be extremely grateful for anything I receive. It's just a fun little thing I put together (which I do every year), so I can let you all know what I've been lusting over. 

Smashbox Sculpting Cheek Palette

I saw this when I went into Boots last weekend with my Mum. I was looking for something for Neil, and happened to go across the Smashbox Counter and this drew my eye straight away. 

I love anything to do with highlight and blush, and I feel like I really need to try out some more of them, and get myself out of the rut with using the same two products - Mac Springsheen Blush, and TheBalm's Mary-Lou Manizer. Don't get me wrong, these are my favourite, but I feel like I just need to experiment more with different products. 

Also, this palette is travel friendly, so I could put it to some great use on holiday in February!

Adidas Superstar Shoes in Black & Gold

These trainers, I have been loving over the last month or so. I never really thought I'd be a trainers person - I usually just stick to my white converse which I wear pretty much every day. 

I've been really loving the Gucci Trainers, but I wouldn't spend £500 on a pair of trainers - they're waaaay out of my budget and they're just too much! So, I watched a video a little while ago from Shea Whitney, who mentioned that she wasn't sure if she was going to buy the Gucci Trainers and found these as a great alternative. Since that video, I've been loving the trainers, but I do think they're quite expensive. To me, £75 for shoes is quite expensive, but because I only have size 5.5 feet, I can get away with the Youth's sizes, which are only £45. I've been hinting this to my Mum, so hopefully she gets my hint. 😏

Coco Mademoiselle Eau De Parfum

I always manage to find one perfume which I'm loving every year, and I always give the task to buy it for me to Neil. He is my boyfriend after all, so he can spend a bit extra on me! hehe 

I'm never really someone who goes for expensive perfumes, as I usually just stick to my Britney Spears perfumes which always smell beautiful, and they're pretty cheap here. 

A few months ago, I was again in Boots with my Mum, when I was just browsing the Chanel and Dior perfume counters. I've never really been a fan of Chanel perfume before, as I feel like they just tend to smell a little old and overpowering on me. 

My mum sprayed the Chanel NO5 which she has loved for years, and I decided to spray the Coco Mademoiselle, and I was in love with the scent! It's one of the most beautiful scents I've smelt, and it's just perfect! It's floral, but not over powering, there's hints of sweetness, but not too much, and it smells fresh, but not too fresh. I usually hate anything to do with florals, as I like my sweet fragrances, but this is just AMAZING! 

It is very expensive, but it's stunning! 

UGG Bailey Bow Boots 

For the past few years, I've always told myself that I was going to buy some real UGG Boots. As you all know, they're pretty pricey boots - these ones are around £130!

I've bought myself a couple of pairs from Costco which have been such good quality, and only cost me around £20, and I believe they're made from the same materials too. 

However, I've been loving these for at least 2 years, and I've always said to myself, 'As soon as it gets to winter, you'll buy yourself a pair of those', and it never seems to happen. 

The good news is, I also get student discount so I'll say money on them, but it's just quite a big chunk of money for around Christmas time.

I don't necessarily need these, as I already have my Costco Uggs which are great, but they're a little thing I'd like to get one day. 

Obviously, if I don't receive any of these for Christmas, I will be super grateful with anything I have. Christmas is my favourite time of the year, and it's the time for giving back. 

I'm not someone who only wants specific thing, as I love anything that anyone gets me because I know they've put thought into it! 😀

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

CHRISTMAS MAKEUP!!!

Hi Guys,

I've filmed my Christmas/Holiday Makeup for this year - I wasn't able to upload one last year because there were many problems with my Mac and Camera.

This makeup look is one of my favourites, and I think it's my favourite Christmas Look I've created! I wanted to create a look using the main colours for Christmas - Green and Red - and I feel that this look shows that off!

After I filmed this tutorial, I kept it on all day and felt completely christmassy and festive, and I had compliments from my Mum and Neil on the eyeliner. So, it gets their seal of approval too!

I wanted to create something that was easy to do on the eyes - there are only a few products used - and so that even if you're not as confident with wearing colours, it'll be easy to pull off.

Check out the video (above), and let me know if you recreate this look this holiday season!

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

THE BIGGEST LASHES EVER?! Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara First Impression

I tested out the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara for a review on my channel in a new First Impression. (video above) 
Because this mascara promised thick, full lashes with false lash effect, I decided to compare this to my Holy Grail Covergirl The Supersizer Mascara. I love the Covergirl mascara because it gives me lashes that I wish I had - thick, long and separated - and it's super affordable! 

This mascara promises dramatic Volume, Longer Lashes and a Dramatic Look with only one coat! Looking at the photo on the front of the packaging, it also seems to show that you will have a false lash effect. 
I used this mascara for the whole day (over 10 hours) so I could see how this mascara held up, and I feel like I have mixed feeling about this.

This product is a bit controversial, as I've seen so many reviews where someone either loves it or hates it! I know that I'd probably be on either end of the spectrum, which made me more excited to test it out and give my overall opinion. 

I like the way that this mascara makes my lashes look - thick and full with a false lash effect. During the 10 hours of wear, it didn't smudge or break off, and my lashes held their curl. 

Saying this, I had to use 3 coats of this for my lashes to actually look any good! With all mascaras, I don't do 3 coats as the most I do is 2. After 3 coats, the mascara can start to make he lashes look clumpy and spidery, and it just doesn't look that good at all. With this, it really didn't look clumpy, and it did almost the same as what it showed on the packaging - beautiful full lashes. 

I would have liked it to give me title more volume - as I usually get more volume from my $5 Covergirl mascara, but it did look nice during the day. 

I found the wand to be way too big! I couldn't really do my bottoms lashes with the wand because of how big it is, and it just ends up getting messy! If I was to use this everyday, I'd probably; end to use a different mascara for the lower lashes. 

Would I spend £19/$23 on this mascara? I don't think I would. I think because I know that my Holy Grail mascara gives me the same amount of volume, separates my lashes more and is super affordable, I think I actually prefer that one - plus, it's a quarter of the price, so you wouldn't be breaking the bank by repurchasing it! 
Also, as you need to use 3 coats of this to give you the effect it promises, I don't think the bottle would last that long, as you need to use a lot of iron each lash. 

I've been testing this mascara out for the past week to see if In can make up my mind, and I do really like it, but I'm still not sure if I prefer my Covergirl mascara over this. 

Pros:
Holds the curl all day.
Makes my lashes super log, full and thick. 
Doesn't clump.
Doesn't flake. 
Good formula - not too dry or too wet. 
Nice packaging. 

Cons:
You need to use a lot of the product to get the look promised - 3 coats. 
Very expensive. 
Wand is too big. 
Very messy on the bottom lashes. 
Won't last very long, as you have to use a lot of the product. 

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

OOTD #12 - Anniversary Date Night

Hi Guys,

On 19th December, it was mine and Neil's 8 Year Anniversary, so we decided togo out for a lovely meal and go to the German Market.

I bought this dress a couple of months ago, when it started to get to Autumn, but was still pretty warm, and I just hadn't had any chance to wear it! I thought this day was the perfect opportunity to wear it, as it's beautiful and feels a little romantic with the roses on it. I love the fact that this dress is off the shoulder, or you can make it short sleeved. It's very versatile, and I love having 2 dresses in 1!

It's now Winter, so I had to wear tights with it, which I was really bummed about, but I managed to find these temperature tights. These tights keep you col when its warm, and keep you warm when you're cold What a great invention!

Of course, I wore a coat over this, and gloves because it was just way too cold!

We had a lovely night, and the food was delicious!

What I'm Wearing:

Dress: Hollister
Tights: Primark (here)
Boots: River Island
Watch: Michael Kors (here)
Bag: Michael Kors (here)

Enjoy,

Chloe xoxo
