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,

Hi Guys,

Recently, I've been testing out a lot of makeup, and have been doing a couple more First Impression Videos.

In my newest video, I test out a brand which I have been excited to test since last year. And I've finally managed to buy pretty much everything on the website, and test it out in this video for you.

In this video, I test out everything from the Illuminate by Ashley Tisdale Cosmetics line. Everything is affordable, cruelty free, and you can purchase them on the BH Cosmetics website, or the Illuminate website.
Usually with a celebrity brand, the prices are very expensive, but with Illuminate Cosmetics, each item is priced between $3-$13.

The products I tested out in this video are:
Illuminate by Ashley Beach Goddess Palette - $11.99
Illuminate by Ashley Goddess Palette - $12.99
Illuminate by Ashley 8 Piece Brush Set - $12.99

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

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
