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

MORE MAKEUP DECLUTTER - Parts 2 & 3!

Hi Guys,

If you've been watching my channel, you'll know that I've been going through a MAJOR Spring Clean of my Makeup Collection!

I've been decluttering each drawer in my Alex 9 Drawers, and I can tell you know, I have gotten rid of A LOT of makeup!

In Part 2, I decluttered all of my Powders, Blushes, Bronzers and Highlighter, where there was a total of 70 items which I was going through. I think I did pretty well on this video, as there was one product that I've kept close to my heart, ever since I received it when I was around 12-13 years old. It was actually quite hard for me to declutter this drawer, as there were some that I just didn't want to let go.

In Part 3, I decluttered all of my Lip Products - Lip Balms, Lip Tints, Lip Liners, Lipglosses, Liquid Lipsticks and Lipsticks. This video is twice as long as my other videos, as I had absolutely no idea that I had over 170 LIP PRODUCTS!!! My collection was just absolutely crazy, and I can't believe I hd that many, as I didn't even use half of them. This video was quite easy for me, as I had lots of things that had either expired, or that I knew I was never going to use. In this video, I decluttered the most out of all of the videos!

To see how I did, click on the videos above or below. Part 2 (above), Part 3 (below).

Makeup Declutter - Part 1 (Foundations, Concealers, Primers & Setting Sprays)

Hi Guys,

I've been waiting for quite a while to film my Makeup Declutter series, as my makeup collection has gotten just too much!

 If you've seen my Makeup Collection videos (Part 1 & Part 2), you will know that I have A LOT of makeup, and I'm basically a hoarder.
So last week, I decided that enough was enough, I had no room left to put my new purchases, and I just had way too many products in each of my drawers. I decided that it's finally time for me to clear out my drawers, and get rid of anything that I either don't us, is the wrong colour for me, is empty, or has expired.

Going into this, I didn't realise exactly how many products I had, until I had emptied them out onto my floor. The sheer amount of foundations I had completely baffled me, and I knew I had a problem!

In this Makeup Declutter series, I've gone through 5 of my drawers, and decided to try to get rid of around half of my makeup collection.

The first drawer wasn't very hard for me - I pretty much knew which foundations I used and which ones I wanted to keep. There were a few that I hadn't used for a while, so it was nice to be able to see them. Seeing them again, made me think that I really need to start using them or just bin them once and for all.

With all of the makeup I get rid of, I will be giving it to friends and family (if it's been used), selling them (if they've never been opened), or chucking in the bin (if they're empty).

I'm impressed with how well I managed to do on this drawer, and I have so much more room in my drawer, and can finally see everything in there!

Enjoy,

24 HOUR MATTE FOUNDATION?! YSL All Hours Foundation First Impression!

Hi Guys,

I tried out the YSL All Hours Foundation for a First Impression on my youtube channel last week (see video below). 
I've had high expectations for this foundation, as all I've heard on youtube is people raving about it, saying how much they loved it, (also, Casey Holmes has super oily skin and she tried this out, and loved it) so I thought I'd give it a go. Anything which says matte, I instantly know that I have to try it. 

My skin type: very oily t-zone with combination skin, blemishes, redness, sensitive, acne prone with large pores. 

The mains claims which this foundation advertises are; Matte, Flawless, Even finish; Full coverage; Stays put for up to 24 hours; Waterproof and Transfer Resistant; Helps to reduce the appearance of pores; Skin look Fresh and Smooth. 



As this foundation states that it has 24 HOUR WEAR!, I decided that I'd test it out for as long as I could, and wanted to make sure that I kept it on my skin for at least 8 hours - as this is a usual work day, and some of you would probably want to see how it holds up for the average work day. 

I have tested out a foundation a couple of months ago, which also claimed to have 24 hour wear - Estee Lauder Double Wear Nude Water Fresh Makeup - and found it to be pretty crap. It didn't hold up very well on my oils, and I wasn't overall impressed with it. 

I felt this foundation would be better, as it's a matte formula, so had very high hopes, but wouldn't be as shocked if it didn't work out for me. 

Before

After

After testing out this foundation for a few more times, here are the Pros and Cons.

Pros:
- Dried to a Matte Finish.
- Didn't make me oily at all - even after 10 hours, and my forehead usual gets shiny after 5 hours with other foundations. 
- The packaging is stunning, and they also included a pump. *BIG Thumbs Up for the pump*
- Gave me a flawless look to my skin.
- Formula was almost the same as my EL Double Wear Original (my holy grail foundation).
- Medium to Full Coverage.
- Very buildable. I could build up this foundation, and it didn't look cakey or patchy at all. 
- Available in a wide range of shades, in Cool, Neutral, and Warm Undertone. Shades for very light to very dark skin colours. 
- No smell/fragrance.
- Contains SPF20, which is perfect for the spring and summertime. 
- My pores and laughter lines were very reduced. 
- Didn't break me out, and was great on my sensitive skin! 

Cons:
- Only 25ml, which is smaller than the usual foundation weight. 
- Very pricey for the amount of product. £33.50 or $58. 
- Doesn't fully cover up redness.
- Became patchy on one side of my face (on my cheeks) during the day. 
- Transferred easily. 
- Oxidised A LOT! Make sure the buy a shade lighter, or wait a minute for it to dry before you purchase the shade. 

Overall, I love how to foundation looks on my skin. It makes my skin appear flawless, and covers up blemishes very well. You don't need too much of the foundation, however you do need more than the Marc Jacobs Remarcable Foundation, which contains slightly less than the YSL.

The foundation hasn't broken my skin out, and I haven't been irritated from it. 
It does come off on one side of my face when I'm at work - maybe it could be transferring as part of my job is working on phones. 

This foundation is beaufil on the skin, and it controls my oils throughout the WHOLE DAY! I love the appearance of my skin when using it, however I'm unsure if I would repurchase, as I do need to apply more foundation after work due to transferring. Saying this, the foundation builds up very well, but I'd need to see if I have any other foundations (other than EL DW) which hold up better for work. 

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

OOTD #11 - White Cut Out Top Outfit!

Hi Guys,

So last weekend, I went out with Neil for a couple of drinks, as well as going to the cinema, and a bit of shopping.

I wanted an outfit that could be versatile for all occasions, as well as making it easy to transition with the weather - like throwing on a black leather jacket in case it got a bit chilly.

This top is a new top which I purchased from Hollister (see it in my latest haul video here), and I'm absolutely in LOVE with it, and I've been wearing it constantly! The shoes are a pair I've had for about 2-3 years, and I'd never actually worn them until I saw a girls in Birmingham wearing some black ones which were the same. So I delve into my wardrobe and managed to pick these out, and instantly was obsessed with them.

The shoes and bag make the outfit a little more casual, and you can dress it up by wearing some heels and a more expensive looking bag.

I love this outfit, and I've been wearing it a lot lately, with just changing up the shoes and bag for any occasion.

What I'm Wearing:

Top: Hollister
Jeans: Next (here)
Belt: River Island (here)
Watch: Michael Kors (here)
Shoes: Topshop
Bag: Tommy Hilfiger

Enjoy,

HUGE Fashion & Beauty Haul!

Hi Guys,

I don't really film many hauls on my channel, as I haven't really been making a lot of purchases recently. I've been trying to cut down on the amount of makeup I've been buying - my Alex 9 Drawers are completely full of makeup, and you would have guessed that's the reason if you had seen my Makeup Collection Videos! (Part 1, Part 2)

A couple of weeks ago, I ventured out shopping with my friend Rhi, and she's such a bad influence on me when we go shopping, because I end up buying so many things. I literally came back with bags in bags, full up to the top...it wasn't good for my bank balance!

I accumulated quite a few things from this shopping trip, and the week before, so thought I'd incorporate everything into a video. I know that some of you guys like watching my hauls, and there might be some new products in here that you'd like to get another opinion on. I will be doing a First Impression video on a products I purchased in this video, and I can't wait!

To see everything I have in this haul, just click on the video above. There are some great things from Hollister (obviously, and I'm obsessed with Hollister), the Disney Store, Victoria's Secret, and much more.

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

OOTD #10 - Khaki Dress Night Out!

Hi Guys,

Two weeks ago, I went out with my work friends, as my friend Soph was leaving to go to a new job. We had a lovely meal, and then it was off to town for drinks!

I'm one of those people who aren't very comfortable in heels, and would rather wear boots or sandals. One reason is because I'm so tall (5ft 10), and I'm taller than most of the ladies in the office, so if I wear heels, I look like a giant! Also, I like to be able to walk everywhere easily, without feeling like I'm going to slip any moment.

This outfit was the perfect outfit for me, and I didn't need to worry about eating too much, as the dress is nice and flowy, and the boots are perfect for any occasion.

I had a lovely night out, and obviously I'll miss Soph not being in the office any more, but I'll still be able to see her outside of work. :)

As usual, my entire outfit - minus my watch - are from the High Street, and nothing costs over £35.

What I'm Wearing:

Dress: Primark
Belt: From A Boutique
Watch: Michael Kors (here)
Shoes: Dorothy Perkins
Bag: River Island

Enjoy,

Chloe xoxo

Get Ready With Me!

Hi Guys,

So, I've finally uploaded a new Get Ready With Me. The last time I uploaded one of these videos, was probably last January, so about a year and a half ago!

I don't usually do Get Ready With Me videos, because I usually just have the same makeup look for quite a while for everything, so I don't feel that there's any need to give you the same look over and over again!

I decided to film a new video of me getting ready for a work event. I've had lots of these events recently, and I really love doing this makeup, as I don't use false lashes, and I use a slick of my favourite lipstick.

Also, I've been using new skincare and new makeup, so you'll see part of my skincare routine, and you'll see some new makeup which I am LOVING!

I love watching Get Ready With Me videos, as you can see how to recreate the makeup and I feel as though I'm getting ready with my viewers, so I love that I feel a little connection whilst doing it.

Check out how I created this makeup look, and I hope that you enjoy getting ready with me.

Also, I have a NEW GIVEAWAY at 5,000 subscribers - and we're less than 600 away! I'm so excited!

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

Updated MAC Lipstick Collection & GIVEAWAY!!!

Hi Guys,

I've finally managed to film and upload an updated MAC Lipstick Collection.

I uploaded my first MAC Lipstick Collection around 2 years ago, and my collection has grown a lot since then. Because of this, I wanted to film an updated one, and I also wanted an excuse to do another little giveaway.

In my first collection video, I think I had around 7 lipsticks, but this time around, I have around 17-18 lipsticks - and I forgot to include one of my favourites too...which is a nightmare! Also, I have live lip swatches as well, so that you can see what the colour looks like on my lips.

As you can see from the video, I'm very into my pinks, pinky-nudes, reds, oranges and purples - I have A LOT of pinks and reds! Some of these lipsticks are limited edition, so unfortunately, you can't purchase these from the website.

Here are some of the swatches below. To see my full MAC Lipstick Collection, click on the video above.

What's In My Bag?! Featuring My Louis Vuitton Bag!!!

Hi Guys,

If you've been following me since Christmas, you will know that the Louis Vuitton Speedy Bandoliere 30 has been a dream bag of mine for years. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be able to save up for this bag - even owning a Louis Vuitton bag I thought would have been impossible.

However, after saving up for many months, this took me a while as I just have a usual 9-5 office job and don't earn a ton of money. Knowing that I saved up for this bag myself with my own money, makes me appreciate it even more, as I know that I worked hard for it!

After saving up for quite a while, I managed to save up the correct amount of money for my bag, I went into my local Louis Vuitton store, and managed to actually purchase my first bag! I went with my boyfriend Neil, and he could see the excitement on my face. As soon as the Sales Associate brought out the bag and let me try it on, I fell in love instantly!

As soon as I looked in the mirror, I knew that it was the perfect print, size and overall bag for me. Once I paid and was given my Louis Vuitton Bag, I was jumping up and down, so ecstatic, because I never thought that I would ever get to own my dream bag! The Associate was so lovely, and kind, and she was very happy for me, and congratulated me on saving up for it, and said that I would appreciate it more knowing I've saved up and paid for it myself.

Anyway, onto the video...

I've seen quite a few 'What's In My Bag?' videos over the last couple of months, and have filmed and uploaded two previous ones with my other bags (which I still own).

I know that when I as researching this particular bag on youtube, I was always curious as to how much you could fit in there, which organisers everyone used, if you needed rot have a base-shaper, etc. I found the Whats In My Bag videos very interesting, and they helped me out a lot. So, I decided that I would film a new video, showing what I have in my bag, how much I can fit in, and which organiser I use. Also, I desperately needed to clean out my bag, so this video helped with that too! haha

Here are some outfits which I have paired my bag with...


           

                             

The organiser which I have in my bag:

To see everything I have in my bag, just watch the video above. If you have any questions on where `i purchased anything, I'll let you know.

NEW Vlog for 2017!

Hi Guys,

If you've been subscribed to my Youtube Channel, or have been following my blog for a while, you'll remember that I also have a Vlog Channel. This is the place where I pop all of my vlogs - and I used to do weekly blogging last year.

For a while, I've stopped doing vlogs - mainly because I don't really do anything exciting and everything's usually the same - also, due to the fact that I haven't really had any time to film, edit, and upload vlogs.

Since Christmas, I hadn't really been active on my vlog channel, as I had a lot of problems with my laptop over Christmas and New Year, plus my Vlogmas vlogs were wiped from my laptop when I had problems with it. Also, I don't seem to have as many viewers on my vlog channel compared to my main channel.

Finally, I've decided to get back on board with my vlogging after 8 months away, and will try to upload more frequently for you.

My newest vlog is from when myself and Neil, took my nephew Theo to the Driving Range to teach him how to play golf. He's been very excited for this for a while, as he loves crazy golf, and wanted to learn how to properly swing. After we finished at the Driving Range - where I learnt how to play properly too - we headed over to the Mini Golf.

Mini Golf was so much fun, and even though it's only a small course, we had a great time. We laughed so hard, because 'The Pro' kept getting his ball in the water/lake.

Check out the video above, to see the fun we had.

Enjoy,

The BEST DRUGSTORE Foundations For OILY SKIN!

Hi Guys,

So, it's taken me a very long time to test out foundations which work out for my awkward, problematic skin. I've been testing out products for the past 4 years, trying to find a foundation which doesn't irritate, and does exactly what it says, and have tested out almost 100 FOUNDATIONS!!!

If you don't know what my skin type is like, here you go...
It's very oily (forehead, sides of my nose and sides of cheeks), i can get dry patches on my cheeks in the winter, I have very sensitive skin, a lot of redness and blemishes & acne.
So, basically, I have a lot of problems with my skin, and there's a lot a foundation needs to do to actually work for me.

I feel like that I've finally managed to narrow it down to my Top 5 Best Foundations for Oily Skin. Also, I haven't had a problem with these breaking me out either.

There's one foundation on this list where I have heard of there people breaking out from it, but even with my sensitive skin, I haven't had any reaction.

These foundations work amazingly with my oily skin, and help to control my oils for at least 5 hours. Also, one of these foundations keeps me oil-free ALL DAY, I never get oily from it.

To see my Top 5 Drugstore Foundation for my skin, check out the video above.

I go into detail about why I like these foundations, how long they last for, their price and more.

Two of these foundations aren't available in the UK at the moment, but you can have them shipped over from Amazon or Ebay.

If there are any foundations you love for your skin, let me know in the comments section, as I love seeing new recommendations!

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

OOTD #9 - Off The Shoulder Gingham

Hi Guys,

Last week, it was sort of warm here in the UK. For the end of July, it's been so cold, and I've been wearing my leather jacket pretty much EVERYDAY!

WHERE HAS OUR SUMMER GONE?!

I wore this outfit, mainly because I bought a new top I'm obsessed with, but also, you can't go wrong with an off the shoulder top, a pair of jeans, and some sandals. These three pieces are my go-to look for warm weather, because you can dress it up, or make it casual.

Ever since my last pair of gladiator sandals broke - around 3 years ago - I've been on the hunt for a new pair of them, but haven't managed to find a pair that I actually like and knew would last me a while. When I was on holiday in Wales at the beginning of July, I went into New Look and spotted these. I tried them on, and instantly fell in love.

As always, my clothes are very affordable - I picked up my top on sale in Mango for only £9.99 - which was a huge bargain.

Stay tuned for more OOTD posts, as I'm buying a brand new bag, and I'm excited for you all to see it, and to try it out with different outfits!

What I'm Wearing:

Top: Mango (here)
Jeans: Marks & Spencer (here)
Watch: Michael Kors (here)
Shoes: New Look (here)
Bag: Michael Kors (here)

Enjoy,

NEW 24 HOUR FOUNDATION?! Estee Lauder Double Wear Nude Water Fresh Foundation First Impression!

Hi Guys,

A couple of weeks ago, all I heard all over Youtube, Cosmopolitan, the Internet, was about Estee Lauder's soon-to-launch Double Wear Foundation.

I already own the original Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation, and have kept repurchasing it for the past few years, so hearing about a NEW Formula with 24 HOUR WEAR, I went absolutely crazy, and couldn't wait for the launch!

Check out my First Impression on this foundation (above).

The original Double Wear is my Holy Grail, and has been for the past couple of years. Not only does it have 15 hour wear (it stays in place ALL DAY!), but it gives an incredible finish, a little goes a very long way, and it's the only foundation which can control my oils throughout the day. Also, it's the ONLY foundation I took with me to Florida, where it was super humid, incredibly hot, and was waterproof on all of the water rides!

As I love the original formula, I thought that this new formula, being light-medium coverage, feeling lighter on the skin, being water-based and having 24 hour wear; I felt i couldn't go wrong and it would work perfectly on my skin.

My skin type is Oily-Combination (Very Oily T-zone), Sensitive, Acne-Prone with Redness & Blemishes, and Large Pores.

This new foundation is called Estee Lauder Double Wear Nude Water Fresh Make-up Foundation, and I picked up two different shades - 2W2 Rattan and 3W1 Tawny. 2W2 is the shade I've been using recently of the original, so thought I would get an exact match, and have a slightly darker one for when I'm more self tanned.

The packaging looks almost exactly the same as the original, with it's frosted glass finish and gold cap - it's just a slightly longer bottle. 

It contains 30ml/1 fl.oz, SPF 30, and is available in 33 different shades (1C0 Shell to 7N1 Deep Amber). 

I  applied this first with a brush to see how it would apply, and then tried a Beauty Blender to see if I could get extra coverage. I felt using the beauty blender gave extra coverage, but would probably use a foundation brush, and it doesn't look as cakey or shiny.

BEFORE AND AFTER

I kept this foundation on of 10 hours, as I wanted to put it through it's paced, for saying it had 24 hour wear. 

See my First Impression above, to see what I thought of the foundation, and how it lasted throughout the day.

Let me know what your thoughts are on this foundation, if you've tried it!

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

OOTD #8 - Date Night!

Hi Guys,

I couple of months ago, I went on a date with Neil, to go to see Micky Flanagan Live!

Micky Flanagan is one of my favourite - if not my favourite - comedians, who we've been to see before, and we LOVED him! I bought tickets to see him for Neil's birthday, and he was completely shocked, as we were only 15 rows from the front, as I'm literally the best person for looking for seats!

As I wanted something that I felt comfortable with sitting in for a couple of hours, and something that wasn't too dressy, where I could wear it casual or dressed up, I decided to go for one of my trusty Boohoo dresses.

I have four of these colours, and I can't stop wearing them because they're just such an easy piece to pull off. If I go out for a nice meal and I don't know what I'm going to wear, I'll pop on one of these trusty dresses. They literally stretch with my stomach, so I can eat as much as I want! haha

These dresses are only £8 from Boohoo, and are such versatile pieces. You can wear them on a day out shopping, night out, date night, to work, and they literally suit every occasion.

I have the red, nude, khaki and black dresses, and I just can't get over how cheap and great quality they are! Just bare in mind that you'll have to go a size up in these, as they come up quite small.

I hope you all liked my affordable Outfit Of the Day/Night!

If you want know which lipstick i'm wearing, it's one of my favourites, Kat Von D Liquid Lipstick in Beloved.

What I'm Wearing:

Dress: Boohoo (here)
Watch: Michael Kors (here)
Shoes: Dorothy Perkins (Sold Out)
Bag: River Island (Similar)

Choosing A Handbag For Every Occasion!

Hi Guys,

Recently I uploaded my take on the 'Choosing A Handbag For Every Occasion' TAG.

I've been obsessed with watching videos from the luxury community on Youtube - loving Shea Whitney and Elllebe for some time now - and this TAG was created by Elle herself. I've been watching many videos from different Youtubers doing this TAG, but have come to find that there hasn't been anyone who I've seen, who's shown a mixture of luxury and affordable bags.

This is why I decided that it might be a great idea for me to do this TAG, as I own only one luxury bag, and the rest are pretty affordable. I wanted to show that you don't have to splurge so much money on a bag for just one occasion. I own 8 different handbags  - including my backpack - and use all of these for different occasions, just switching up my purse and phone.

This TAG video is to show everyone watching, in case they're struggling to find a bag for a specific occasion or if they just want one versatile bag, what they could go for as they're perfect for the occasion!

There are 6 different occasions in this video:
1. Casual
2. Work
3. Travel
4. Evening
5. Day to Night
6. Minimal

To see which bags I chose for each occasion, just watch the video (above). Here are a couple of bags featured in the video:

Right: French Connection

Left: River Island

Right: Tommy Hilfiger

OOTD #7 - Summer Shopping!

Hi Guys,

So, I've finally got my long hair back, and I've gotten a few new pieces added to my wardrobe for Summer!

This weekend was INCREDIBLY HOT, which means it was the perfect opportunity to go out! As it was my little sister's 15th Birthday, I decided to take her on a shopping day out, so we could spend some time together and she could spend some of her birthday money.

The weather was beautiful - which means that I managed to get the use out of one of my new playsuits. As we decided to go on a shopping trip, I knew that I needed a larger bag just in case, so it was the perfect opportunity to bring out my Louis bag - plus I can use it cross body and over the shoulder, so I can keep my hands free for grabbing things off of the racks!

I love this playsuit, because you can wear it casual, or it can be dressed up. So it's a perfect transition piece from day to night. Also, I got lots of compliments on it too, and it was featured in my recent Summer Clothing Haul here!

As always, all details are listed below from my outfit, in case you want to purchase any of them.

What I'm Wearing:

Playsuit/Romper: Hollister (here)
Bag: Louis Vuitton (here)
Watch: Michael Kors (here)
Shoes: Dorothy Perkins (Similar)
Sunglasses: Primark (Similar)

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo
