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!

KAB Cosmetics Mystery Box - Is It Worth $250?!

04:50 0 Comments

 

Hi guys,

It’s been a while since I’ve done a blog post! 

I wanted to post about the KAB Cosmetics Mystery Box, as I was pretty intrigued about what it contains as it’s $150 but everything retails for $254! I couldn’t find any reviews or any posts about what the box contains, and the experiences of others, so I thought I’d pick it up and it may help some of you thinking the same.

I’ve had both good and bad products from KAB Cosmetics, and I’ve tried out the majority of their products they stock on the website - I always go for the bundles they add on their site where you have a few different products to try which is why I’ve tried so many! 

The products are quite up there in price, so I recommend you always use a coupon code as then you can get more for your money and it’s not as bad if something doesn’t work out well. 

There were two products I was hoping to get in this mystery his - lip oils and the contour palette because they’re some of my favourite products from this brand. 

I’ll let you know what I received, and in my video I let you know if I think it was worth the money I purchased it for - here’s a heads up, I used a 30% off coupon code so didn’t pay the full price 😉

If you’ve never tried anything from KAB Cosmetics, or if you don’t know about them, they’re a cosmetics company created by Kim Zolciak Biermann, and her daughters Brielle and Ariana. You can purchase some products from Walmart, although apparently they’re slightly different to what’s on the website as the prices are a little cheaper. 

Anyway, let’s get on with the details about the box!

If you want to purchase anything from KAB Cosmetics, I have a coupon below the review for 20% off your entire order!


About the Mystery Box 

The box has a retail value of $254, and you can purchase for $150 from their website, so you save $100 on the purchase. They mentioned on their Instagram that every box contains their Bombshell Beauty Oil, and the Undress Me lip kit. Already there, you have a $79 value. The box also contains at least 9 full sized products. I don’t know if every box contains the same products, or if everyone receives just those two items the same. 

When I’d received the box, it was just a normal cardboard packing box with the items in there. There was no KAB box like it shows on the website, so that was a bit of a disappointment. But hey ho, all the products were full to the top and had good packaging coming all the way from the US to the UK. 

Shipping was incredibly quick! I’d received in a few days after I’d purchased it, which is crazy considering it’s coming thousands of miles, and was quicker than some UK post I’ve waited for! 


The items 

The first two items I received were the Bombshell Beauty Oil, and the Undress Me lip kit.

Both products I feel I’ll be using (I was excited about the beauty oil and I’d researched the ingredients and they look good for oily acne prone skin which I have!). The lipkit looks like a nice shade that I’d wear, so no shockers there! 




Next, I’d received the Hydrating Setting Mist. This I wasn’t too sure about because I have very oily skin, and usually I stay away from anything which says ‘hydrating’. When I looked at the ingredients, it contains Witch Hazel which is great for acne. The sprayer was great as well and gave a nice mist - not a drenched look at all! 
This one was a pleasant surprise for me as it may actually work well for my skin type. There’s also a slight hint of coconut scent, so if you’re sensitive to those types of smells then it may not be the best for you.




I’d also received a face palette which I already own. I do genuinely enjoy the palette and have used it quite a lot (the screenshot is of my opened palette so you can see the shades as I didn’t want to open a new one). I like 2 of the 3 shades, and it’s a beautiful gel to powder formula. Again, a product I use and like so not a disappointment for me.



Now, this is where it goes a bit different. Out of the 10 products I received in my box, 7 were lipsticks, lip kits or lip liners! 
70% of the products I received in my box were lip products! 

I’d received 3 lip liners (all different shades of brown/nude), 2 nude lipsticks (which were beautiful but very close together in shades) and another lip kit in Cherry Pie (which is a lovely bright red). 
I’ve used the lip liners before and they’re ok. They do stay on well, but they’re quite a dry formula compared to their new ones. I’ve also received 2 of the 3 lip liner shades in previous bundles, so I wish there was a variety on shades they hadn’t used before in previous bundles. 



The nude lipsticks look beautiful so I’m pretty happy with those, but the lip kit is a disappointment because I have it already and I don’t really use red shades. 







I know they’re known for their lip kits and lip oils, but they have plenty of other products they could have given. I appreciate that they have several different shades of things as everyone uses different things, but I think it was a bit over kill in all honesty.
Now, don’t get me wrong, I like that they catered for different colour options, but they were all the same thing. If they’d thrown in a lip oil or the duo, or if they’d added their bestselling shades then it may have been a bit different. 

Check out my video above to see if I’d repurchase another one, or if I’d recommend it to you to purchase if you’re curious.

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,
Chloe xoxo

MORE MAKEUP DECLUTTER - Parts 2 & 3!

08:30 0 Comments


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).



Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

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

08:00 0 Comments


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,
Chloe xoxo
