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,

Get Ready With Me!!!

11:00 0 Comments


Hi Guys,

If you watch my channel regularly, you will know that I have only ever done two Get Ready With Me videos. I don't really tend to do these very often, as I usually have my makeup already half prepared when I go out.

For instance, if I'm going out after work, I will already apply a long-lasting foundation, mascara, eyeshadow, blush and bronzer. So, when I come home, I will only need to apply a little eyeliner and some lipstick, then voila, I am ready!

I realised that when I get ready for work, I always do the same makeup routine, but change up the eyeshadows. Because it is so quick an easy for me to do, I thought that a Get Ready With Me video would be PERFECT!

It's also great for you guys who go to work, school or college, and don't want to apply a tonne of makeup, but still want it to look natural and flawless.

Almost all of these products (except mascara) are drugstore, so will suit every budget, and you can easily copy this makeup. When I don't use my YSL Baby Doll Mascara, I always go to my Benefit Roller Lash, or the extremely amazing and super affordable Essence Lash Princess Volume Mascara - which is my favourite Drugstore mascara at the moment.

Have fun watching, and recreating this look.

I hope you enjoyed getting ready with me for work!

Chloe xoxo

Vlogging!

14:23 0 Comments
So, one of my New Years Resolutions for this year, is to do more vlogging.

I took part in half of Vlogmas last year, and I really enjoyed it, and I have decided that I would LOVE to do some more vlogging on my vlog channel!

Now, I am at work full time on the weekdays, so there is absolutely no point in my vlogging during the week - all you will be seeing is car vlogs, and I have a feeling that you guys wouldn't be very interested in watching me sit in a car and talking about random things.

Another reason why I don't usually vlog, is because on my weekends I like to relax, and they are pretty boring. Sometimes I might go to town with my Mum, or do a little shopping, but Sundays are always Lazy Days, so I doubt you would also like to watch me sitting on the sofa, watching a different movie every week! Just a little bit boring! :)

I noticed that I have pretty ,much been abandoning my Vlog Channel, and have only uploaded 2 videos - for some reason I decided to upload my vlogmas to my main channel, which was pretty silly.

However, I have now uploaded a NEW video to my Vlog Channel, and I think some of you would really enjoy it! I have added the vlog below for you.

Let me know your feedback, and let me know which types of videos you would like to see next!

Enjoy,

Blonde Balayage to Brunette: HOW TO

21:00 0 Comments

Hi guys,

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.

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo
