The BEST Lip Oils I’ve Tried!

04:17 0 Comments


Hi guys,


Today I wanted to share with you the best lip oils I’ve found - and I’ve tried A LOT! 


These lip oils are by KAB Cosmetics, and I’ve been using them for the last year, so I really know how they are and their benefits. 


Something I really like about KAB Cosmetics is that all products are cruelty free and they’re Leaping Bunny Approved, so you don’t need to worry about them testing in animals. 


They retail for $20 which is a little up there in price, but they’re roughly the same price as the higher end lip oils I’ve seen. But you can save 20% on everything on Kabcosmetics.com by using code ‘ChloeL’.



There’s 6ml in each tube, which is around the same as most lip oils on the market. But, because the formula is quite thick, you don’t need to use much of it. 


They come in 6 different shades, with 5 of them making your teeth appear whiter with the violet/blue pigments. They have a slight tint to them which isn’t noticeable that much when wearing them but give a slight colour. The only shade which doesn’t have a tint is Sugar Rush, as it’s a clear lip oil. 


The other shades available are Rum Punch (red tint), Honey Dew (orange tint), Grapesicle and Juicy Melon (purple tint), and Blue Raspberry (blue tint). 


The only shades I haven’t tried are Sugar Rush and Grapesicle. 


All have the same coconut scent which is beautiful! I am sometimes sensitive to scents, but I have no issue with this at all. The only thing I have to say is that I wish they smelt like their names - for instance Honey Dew having a honey or honeydew melon scent. However, I actually love the scent of coconut they’ve added. It smells just like summer and it’s so nice to put it on and still smell it for a couple of seconds.


They have Shea Oil in the ingredients - which is great for hydrating dry skin. 



I tend to suffer with dry lips quite often - I need to drink more water - and when I wear these they instantly feel hydrated. 


These have a pretty thick consistency, but they don’t feel sticky at all, and the doe foot applicator is large so you can easily and quickly apply to your lips. The packaging is large and sleek, and I never have any issues with leaking. I like that the packing is white with the silver logo, as it seems more clean and it’s much more vibrant on the shade you’re using. 



My go-to look has been to use a pink/nude/brown Lipliner to line my lips and going in with a couple of dabs of the lip oil. It’s easy and quick to do, looks beautiful, and hydrates your lips whilst looking shiny and glossy.  


I’m currently using Rum Punch and Blue Raspberry as I find these tints pair great with any lip liners I use. If I want to slightly warm up the shade, I use Rum Punch, and if I want a cooler tone I use Blue Raspberry.

I keep one tube on my side table which I use before I go to bed, one in my bag, and one by my desk when I work! So, I guess you can say that I have one with me at all times.

This review is not sponsored at all - I’ve bought all products by myself - and because I love this product, I wanted to share my experience and a coupon code where you can save some money!

NYX Born To Glow Naturally Radiant Foundation!

10:46 0 Comments


Hi Guys,

So it's been A WHOLE YEAR since I posted on here, and in all honesty I just haven't had the time. I'll speak more about this in another post, but for this post, I'm going to be talking about a BRAND NEW foundation which has just come over to us in the UK.

This foundation is the NYX Born To Glow foundation, and I was a little hesitant to purchase this as I haven't had the best track record with NYX foundations - see here https://youtu.be/hF9-OZjfpng . That foundation was by far the worst I've tried and I've tried A LOT!

Anyway, I saw this in my local Boots store and quickly colour matched myself as I was in a rush. I didn't have any high hopes for this as it was glowy, radiant and by NYX. If you have oily skin, you know that we stay away from anything which promises a glow. Saying this, I really like the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation and that stays put on my skin, so I thought 'why not?'.

The shade which I purchased was Medium Olive. I self tan so I always go for a warm or olive undertone and I'm usually all set, and you know what? I was proud of myself because IT MATCHED!
There are 40 shades available in all shades from very pale to very deep, so no matter which skin tone you have, you're probably going to find a perfect match.

There wasn't any claims on the packaging and the website just said that it was medium-buildable coverage, and it was cruelty free with a vegan formula.



When I applied the foundation, I used a beauty blender and it buffed out so easily and smoothly. I managed to build it up on any red areas easily, and I didn't need to have a second layer over my skin. It had a nice glow to it, and didn't make me look oily or sweaty like some do with a 'glow'.
The rest of my makeup went on very well all buffed out smoothly.
It covered all of my blemishes and the redness.

I tested this foundation out for 9 hours and it was actually amazing!

After 9 hours of wear, it basically looked the same as when I first applied it. I didn't look oily or greasy, however I didn't look matte either.
The shade matched me perfectly and the undertone was very nice and natural. I would happily wear it out after this amount of time and I would only need to do minimal touchups which is a rarity for me.

The only negatives I really have with this, is that it exxcentuated my pores and they looked huge, and it looked a little caked around my eyebrows and on my cheeks near my nose. Other than this, the foundation lasted incredibly well.

I've tested this out a couple more times since the first impression, and it is still holding up well. I will have to try it with a pore-filling primer to see if it can look any better around those areas.

Other than the 2 negatives, this foundation performed amazingly and it may be a new drugstore favourite.

Thanks for watching my videos and reading my blog,

OOTD #18 - Winter Warmer

12:00 3 Comments
Hi Guys,

So here's my first OOTD post for this year, and it's actually of an outfit from Christmas Eve!

Me and Neil always go out for a Christmas Eve drink in the evening, as it's nice and calm, and there's usually people with their friends and families at The Belfry Resort, having a great time. Plus, there's usually a band playing Christmas music in the main drinks area. It's absolutely magical! 

I've had thee boots for a few years, and they were such a steal from Forever 21, and I'm not sure if they even have anything like them now - I'll try my hardest to look and see if I can link them below. 

This jumper is so nice, soft and warm, and I love bringing it out in winter, as it's stylish yet comfortable. 

And the bag is only of my favourite bags - if not probably my favourite bag- I own. I will NEVER get rid of this beauty, as art was my first luxury bag purchase, ands it's just such a work of art. 

All details for this outfit are listed below!




What I'm Wearing:
Top: Matalan
Jeans: Next (here)
Belt: River Island (similar)
Shoes: Forever 21 (similar)
Bag: Louis Vuitton (here)
PomPom: Home Bargains



Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

OOTD #17 - Cool Summer!

09:15 0 Comments
Hi Guys,

On the day that I wore this outfit, it was one of those days when it was pretty chilly when the sun went in, and then BAM, the sun comes out and it's nice and warm!

If I don't know what to wear on the weekends, I'll always bung on my jeans and my favourite Michael Kors bag...seriously, I've gotten so much use out of it since I bought it, as I basically wear it every weekend! 

This top is perfect for any weather in the summer, because it's a beautiful off-the-shoulder top when you don't want to cover up, and because I knew it was a little chilly, I decided to pop on my new H&M oversized denim jacket. I had this in my last OOTD, and I've loved it ever since. 

If you're looking for a small crossbody bag, and you want ti to last, I definitely recommend this MK bag! It's made of tough leather, works in all weather, is incredibly versatile, and looks exactly the same as when I bought it in November! 

All details for this outfit are listed below!




What I'm Wearing:
Top: Hollister
Jeans: Next (here)
Belt: River Island (here)
Shoes: Dorothy Perkins
Bag: Michael Kors (here)
Jacket: H&M
Watch: Michael Kors (here)
Bracelets: Ali Express (here)


Enjoy,

OOTD #16 - Oversized Denim Jacket!

08:00 0 Comments
Hi Guys,

On this day, I went shopping around town with my friends Amy and Rhi.

I was determined that I wasn't going to buy anything, but low and behold, they are such bad influences that I ended up caving in and bought some clothes!

I tried on this oversized denim jacket and cropped top in H&M and I fell in love! Because I have bigger shoulders, I always through that oversized items would make them appear much larger, and just thought that I couldn't get away with them.

After showing them this outfit, they both loved it, and it made me realise that I actually can pull off this jacket - even though my 16 year old sister has one, so I've always felt too old to wear one, even though I'm only 25.

I'm amazed that this whole outfit goes together - I think I knew deep down inside that I'd try on something that I'd need to go with jeans and black boots. Haha

As always, all details are below. The time I've also included where my earrings and bracelets are from, as I know that some of my followers ask.





What I'm Wearing:
Top: H&M
Jeans: Next (here)
Belt: River Island
Shoes: Dorothy Perkins
Bag: Michael Kors
Jacket: H&M
Bracelets: Ali Express (here)
Earrings: Topshop (same but different colour)

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo
