Hi Guys,

If you're subscribed to my Vlog Channel, you would have noticed that I have been a lot more active on it recently.

I really love vlogging my day-to-day life, and I thought it that it was a great little inside into my life. Obviously, I don't vlog on weekdays (I work full time on weekdays) as there would be no point at all. I've been vlogging one day every weekend, and I have been uploading my day.

I know that some of you who are subscribed to my Main Youtube Channel, like my vlogs, and some prefer my regular videos, so realised that the best thing was to create a vlog channel and upload my vlogs there. My vlogs from Florida will be uploaded on my Main Channel, as I know that quite a few of you are looking forward to seeing what I got up to there, and to see new things that you can do there too.

Fot the past two weeks, I have uploaded one vlog each week, and I'm hoping for it to become a regular thing.

Thank you all so much for your support on both of my channels! Keep subscribing and sharing, and before we know it, I'll be doing my 5,000 subscriber Giveaway! YAY!

My vlogs from the past two weeks are below.

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

Hi guys,

It's finally a new year, and this year I thought that I would do my yearly favourites - which I also did last year. Almost all of these products are Holy Grail products of mine, and they are mostly drugstore!

I absolutely love the drugstore, especially when you can find products just as good, if not better, than he high end products. Now, don't get me wrong, I do love High End products, and have included lots in this video, but I just feel like the majority of my loves are super affordable.

There are many different categories which I have merged products into - Favourite Foundations, Favourite Mascaras, Favourite Primers etc. And in every category, there is at least one drugstore product, so it's great for you guys who don't want to splurge on products!

The video is above of my favourites, and be sure to subscribe to my channel, as I will be doing a giveaway at 2,000 subscribers (we're only 20 subscribers away...WOO HOO!)

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

Hi Guys,

Every year, I am obsessed with the Holidays - Christmas is my favourite time of the year - and I always like a good excuse to film a new makeup tutorial. I didn't manage to create a Holiday tutorial last year, but uploaded a Get Ready With Me for Boxing Day.

I decided to do two different looks for the Christmas Holiday Season, and the first being my bold eyes, nude lips look. This look isn't as easy as the other, but it looks GORGEOUS!

I haven't really touched my TheBalm Nudetude Palette (swatches here) in a long time, but recently tried it again, and have fallen back in love with it! I wanted to make the eyes the main focus, so decided to add a pink-nude lip (Kate Moss Nude Lipstick in 45), which is great for all skin tones.

Almost all of these products used are drugstore and affordable, and anyone on any budget will be able to recreate this.

The tutorial is below for this look, and the new tutorial for the next look, will
be up tomorrow.

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

Hi Guys,

If you have been watching my channel for the last couple of weeks, you will know that I haven't taken part in Vlogmas. Well, that's all changed now!

I have finally uploaded a vlog for vlogmas - which I started in the 15th December. The reason? I have been working full time, including in December, but I have now broken up for christmas, and won't be back at work until January so I have so much more spare time on my hands! YAY!

Here, I have attached my first Day of Vlogmas, where I have a trip to Costco, a mini haul from Victoria's Secret, and explain why I've only just started Vlogmas now.

Enjoy,

Hi Guys,

For the last couple of years, I have been getting lots and lots of comments from you lovely people all about Hair Extensions.

I have been uploading DIY Hair Extension Videos for the last two years, and I have answered so many of your questions in FAQ videos on my channel. A question that always keeps popping up on my videos, is about if a specific type of extension will be ok in specific types of hair.

I thought that it would just be easier for me to do a whole video on which extensions are the best for which hair type - obviously you don't have to go and have these specific extensions done. I thought this would be a great way to answer all of these questions, and to offer my own experience, my professional opinion (I'm a Qualified Hair Extension Stylist), and things that I had learnt when I was training in Hair Extensions.

I have had so much experience with extensions, and have tried the majority of extensions (I also have some reviews on my channel), and have a great idea of what worked and didn't work in my hair. Also, the positives and negatives of these extensions. The only extensions which I don't have a personal experience with are weaves - my hair is too thin for weaves.

If you have any more questions, which I haven't answered in this video - or in my other extension videos on my channel - just leave me a comment either here, or on my videos, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

Hi Guys,
If you are as obsessed as me with Makeup, and have been watching Youtube for a number of years, you will have seen so many Youtubers talking about NYX Cosmetics, and how great their products are!

If you live here in the UK, then you know how hard it was for us to get our hands on NYX (Amazon wanted atlas triple the price of the retail price).

I went online, doing a little bit of shopping, the other week, and came across NYX at Feelunique. I was so shocked and super excited to get my hands on some of these products - is that crazy? - but was disappointed when I found out that the majority of their items were sold out! Especially the ones which I wanted to purchase.

Skip ahead a couple of hours, and I'm searching for my favourite Dry Shampoo on Boots - Batiste in Dark Brunette, if you didn't already know  - and saw that they have recently just stocked NYX! Cue the childlike screams - and I managed to pick up everything I wanted for the same price, and none was Out Of Stock - Hooray!!

I picked up 3 products in total, but these are ones which I have been researching for a long time, so I knew straight away that I wanted them.

Check out everything that I purchased in my New Beauty Haul (below).



All of the NYX Products were purchased from www.boots.com.

Hi Guys,

I had a lot of questions from some of you when I posted this photo to instagram (below) about which Hair extensions I was wearing. As you will know, I have been obsessed with extensions for the last couple of years, and have tried pretty much every method out there.




As I am a Qualified Hair Extension Stylist, I know the things to look out for and I can tell if i don't like something about an set of extensions. I have been trying extensions for the last 3 years, and I think I have a pretty good idea if they will last.

The things I test with every lot of extensions is:

• How do they react with heat? Are they really Human Hair Extensions?
• Thickness?
• Length?
• How do they wash?
• Is the colour correct?
• Is the customer service good?
• Price?

In this review, I look at all of these aspects in the hair extensions. This, I feel, can determine if the extensions are good, and if I would repurchase them.

I was sent these extensions for free from Uniwigs, but in no way does that mean that I was told to do a positive review. I would never recommend a product if I don't like it (of you have seen my last Uniwigs review, you will know how true this is).
The reason I have not worn these in any video, is because I don't want to show a product off, if I don't know if it's worth the money.

The extensions I am wearing in this video:  http://goo.gl/tWpzcR .

I also have a coupon code for Uniwigs - 'chloe10' for 10% off of your entire purchase.

So, as you all may know from my YouTube channel, I am obsessed with hair extensions, and have tried many different techniques. I've finally managed to find a technique that I am completely and fully happy with, and that is Nano Ring Hair Extensions. I know a lot about these, and I do them myself in my hair, so thought I'd share everything with you that I do and know. That is why I've decided to do a new 3 part segment on my channel about Nano Rings!
     The first video, is going to be about How To Dye the Nano Ring Extensions, if they are slightly wrong, or completely wrong. Now, I'm not saying that I know everything and that I'm a professional, because I don't and I'm not, this is just the way that I do them myself and they work out great! In this video, I show you the technique on what I do, and I show you all products that I use. (Below is this video).
     The second video is How To Install Nano Ring Hair Extensions. A lot of you have asked me about how to install these extensions, so thought I would do a video showing you the technique and the process of myself doing these on my own hair. I have done a previous brief video on how to install Micro ring & Micro loop extensions so you can check that out if you like below.
     The third video is going to be How To Care For Nano Ring Extensions. This is going to be all of the products I use, all of the hints and tips I have and how to wash them without them falling out or being ripped out.
This is my favourite type of extension (and I've tried a lot!) so tried to find even more information than I already knew so you guys can get the best possible extensions and tips that you can get!

I hope you enjoy these videos and let me know your feedback.

Thanks, Chloe :)

Recently, I've been trying to find the perfect products for my skin and for my hair.
      I have sensitive, dry, acne-prone, pale skin, I find it hard to find any foundation and creams which suit my skin. My hair is dry,damaged and thin from all of the bleaching I used to do my hair, so find it hard to find products which completely nourish my hair to leave it soft and silky. I also don't have very long eyelashes, so its difficult to find a mascara which lengthens and volumizes them to how I like them. So, as you can imagine, there are a lot of products I go through to try to find the perfect ones for me, and it's quite a bit of a challenge.
     I know that a lot of you don't want to keep spending money on products which do not live up to their promises on the packaging, (and I have a lot of those!) so I thought id do a video for all of you showing the products which I have bought, and have not lived up to what they say they do. This way, I hope it helps you all into not buying products which don't actually work! Or maybe you've bought these products, and they've actually worked for you. In that case, I'm glad that they worked for someone :)
     I've managed to find some products which I feel should be in the list of the 'Products I Wont Be Repurchasing', so here you go and enjoy!

As many of you know, I'm a complete bargain hunter and I refuse to pay obscene amount of money on beauty products, when I can most of the time find a cheaper alternative. and i know that a lot of you don't have much money to spend. So I thought I would share with you all my favourite beauty products under £10.
     The majority of my beauty products are under £10 anyway (unless you count my Benefit and Elizabeth Arden products), and there are many that I believe to be amazing products and I completely 100% trust and love!
     From time to time, I do find newer products which I feel are better to change up my routine, but when I find a product I love, I stick to it! And here, I've managed to narrow down my favourite go-to products which are all under £10!

So here are my favourite products under £10 and I hope you enjoy them, and everyone should give these products a go because I feel these are absolutely amazing!

Enjoy!

Since I've bought some new make-up palettes, I've been doing a lot of different looks with my eyes. So when it came to New Years Eve, I thought I'd try one out to show you all in a tutorial.
     The look for new years eve was bold lips and rose gold eyes. For this, I used some great drugstore make-up from brands such as Benefit, Rimmel, MUA, Eylure, Eyeko and Soap & Glory!
    
This is my completed look from my instagram (sorry the eye shadow isn't that clear)

As most of you know, I wear eyelashes almost everyday, and I'll try any that you recommend to me.
     I'm in love with Eylure lashes, they're my favourite, and I was super excited when someone recommended using Eylure Individucal Eyelashes. I've always wanted individual lashes doing, because I'm sick of sometimes having part of my eyelash unstuck throughout the day, but didn't want to pay over £100 to have them done. Also, I'm going to America next month, and don't want to have to bother applying false lashes everyday!
     I picked these up in Savers for only £1.99, as opposed to Boots which are £5.99. They only had the brown coloured ones, but as my lashes are brown anyway, I thought I'd try them out!

What do they say?

How do you do them?

 Results!

As many of you who watch my YouTube videos will know that I have recently gone from bleached blonde to brunette. it was a very hard decision for me to make, as I've been bleached blonde for 3 years and I absolutely loved being a blonde for those three years..

So why did I go brunette after loving it so much?

The first factor, was that my hair was getting a lot thinner from all of the bleaching, and my roots did not go blonde with just a toner or a regular hair dye. So bleach was my only option.
     I also hated the fact that my hair was refusing to grow. I'd take hair skin and nail supplements and id constantly be putting on leave in conditioners in my hair overnight, but the breakage was still there and it wasn't going to budge until it was cut off. I'd been trying to grow my hair for a good 2 years after I got the beautiful Frankie cut (Frankie from The Saturdays asymmetrical cut) and it was just refusing to grow just below my chin.
     Another reason, was that was hair was getting like straw and it was vile and was never shiny, no matter how much serum I would be putting in my hair. It was never going to go shiny and healthy, no matter how much products I would out in my hair in the hope of doing what it promised and to give me "healthier, stronger, Thicker looking hair". Nothing worked. And I tried a lot of stuff!
    Some problems with my hair colour last year, and earlier this year, sort of gave me the inkling that I should definitely not keep bleaching my hair.
     The first happened last year when my friend suggested me to buy some purple shampoo. This tones your hair so all of my brassiness and golden tones come out of your hair. Because my hair was so porous, my hair and my new micro ring hair extensions turned turquoise. Not impressed! I didn't know what to do, so texted my mum's hairdresser, and she suggested to keep washing with head and shoulders, tomato ketchup. After about 4 weeks, it all came out and I was happy as a hippo again :)
     The other one happened this year on my holiday to America. I was having a shower after being in the swimming pool, and didn't want to get my hair wet. So, as anyone would do, I tied my hair up. The only problem was, I used a fluorescent pink hair band. How was I to know that if my hair got a little wet around the hair band, the colour would run into my hair and my hair extensions? Not the best idea.
     Maybe I should have thought about going brunette sooner?

So what colour must you use to not get the green or orange colour?

I've read so many stories from many different places on the internet that you have to go to a professional otherwise your hair will turn out disgusting and vile!
     I also heard that if you put a colour on that has reds in it, it will turn your hair orange and if you have ashy colours, it will turn your hair grey, and if you have natural colours, it will turn your hair green.
     I also heard stories from so many different places that you MUST have a dye with red in it for it to work, and that you MUST have a natural colour and it will turn out the colour on the box.

I have to say, that I know the answers because I have tired it out myself, and after that, my mum's hairdresser told me I was completely correct.
     The answer to the first statement is a complete lie. Of course it will look better if it's professionally done, but it will not look disgusting if you do it yourself. I refused to pay £30 for the hair dresser to put colour on my hair that's just going to fade after a few washes.
    
And the answers to the other statements?
     You should definitely not get an ash colour. The reason? It will turn your hair grey or green! It doesn't matter which type of ash you get, or what colour it is on the box. It will not turn out that colour. It will go between different shades of grey.
     You should definitely not get a natural shade of brown. Anything with the word "natural" in it. Be prepared for hair with a tint of green, or green hair.
     You MUST get a colour with red or golden tones in it. Anything that says the word "golden" or "red" or "copper", or any other names for red, will not turn your hair orange.

The reason for this? Bleaching takes out all of the colour pigments in your hair. You're basically working on a blank canvas, so you must put back the colours that it has taken out. Adding red tones will help to add the pigments back in your hair for the colour to work.

What did I do?

because I knew about having to put red tones back into the hair, I made sure that I went out and bought a hair colour with a red tone.

My colour of choice?
     Schwarzkopf Color Mask in colour 665 - Light Golden Brown.


I loved this hair colour. It looked beautiful, but with not too much gold. It was the perfect colour and because I have pale skin, a warm colour works best next to my skin. I knew as well, that the colour was going to go a lot darker on my hair because of the pigments, and I didn't want to get medium brown, is the case it would go very dark brown. I think I got in on sale for £4.50 from Boots.
     I put on the dye, making sure I read the instructions carefully and fully. I mixed all of the pots together, and slapped it on my hair as if it was a hair mask you use to nourish your hair every week. It was strange because it was very thick and I'd never used a dye like this. The instructions say to leave it on for 25-35 minutes. So I left it on for 25 minutes, because it could go darker if I left it on for the full 35 minutes.

The Outcome

I absolutely loved the outcome of my hair. It was darker than on the box, but after a few washes, its faded to roughly the colour on the box, with what looks like a few blonde highlight! There is absolutely no green in my hair whatsoever. and I even dyed my bleached clip in hair extensions with this, and they haven't got a green tint either, just a lovely golden tone.


There are a few photos of before and after dying brunette, and there's also the video from my YouTube channel underneath so you can see the true outcome on video.
