Review: Wet n Wild Photo Focus Foundation on Oily Skin!

01:00 0 Comments



Hi Guys,
Recently, I tested out the Wet n Wild Photo Focus Foundation on my channel for a First Impression. This foundation has beed RAVED about all over youtube - I don't think I've even seen one negative review. 


The things that made me really want to test it out are the super affordable price point (it retails for $5-$6), and I fell in love with it when I watched a review from Casey Holmes on her channel about this foundation. Casey has SUPER oily skin, and I have very oily-combination skin. I though. "If it works for her, it'll work for me'.


As I was in Florida on my holiday, I decided to have a look around Walmart to find my shade. And I have to tell you, this was super tricky - they literally sold out of every shade every time I'd go to Walmart! So, I managed to pick up two shades, which aren't exactly toy my perfect shade, but I thought that I could just mix them together if they're not the perfect shade. 
The shades I picked up were Soft Ivory (Light Warm) and Buff Bisque (Light-Medium Neutral). Because I self tan, I knew that I would need the Light-Medium Warm, however I literally couldn't find this ANYWHERE! 


If you don't already know, my skin type is Oily-Combination Skin, very oily t-zone with redness and blemishes, acne prone. 


The foundation didn't have any claims when it came to coverage, lasting power, texture or which skin type it was for, so I basically went into this First Impression blind, with no knowledge of how it would perform. The packaging only stated that it doesn't have any flashback or white cast in photo, so is perfect for photoshoots and selfie lighting. 


They feel and look exactly the same on the skin, and the only difference really being that the Estee Lauder is waterproof and doesn't budge for over 14 hours, and the Wet n Wild starts to come off after 9 hours of wear. 


Wet n Wild Photo Focus is an incredible foundation for only $5! (I purchased it for $4.97 from Walmart.) Check out my First Impression video on this foundation above. 


I tested out this theory by using my iPhone with the flash on and off. And I think it looks great not ways! There's not really much of a difference, however the flash makes everything look perfect and glowy. 



WITH FLASH VS WITHOUT FLASH

So, I tried out this foundation in my first impression, and I was BLOWN AWAY! I feel as though this foundation is a drugstore dupe for the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation. I have this foundation, have been using it for years, and it's my holy grail. 

BEFORE & AFTER

PROS:
Very affordable - retails for $5-$6.
Long lasting - still looked flawless after 9 hours of wear.
Great for oily skin.
Didn't break me out. 
Didn't irritate my sensitive skin.
Looks HD, and evens out skin texture and pores.
Amazing selection of colour - Fair-Deep Dark colours in Cool, Neutral and Warm undertones.
Easily buildable. 
Great coverage - medium and can be built up to almost full. 
No flashback or white cast in photos. 
No strong scent. 
Spatula Applicator. 
Packaging is glass, and feels very luxurious. 

Very hard to find if you don't live in the US or Canada - Wet n Wild doesn't ship internationally.

Sells out very quickly, so very hard to find your shade in stock.
Sinks into pores after 6 hours if not used with a pore-filling primer. 

Enjoy,

Chloe xoxo

Testing Makeup Revolution Products!

Testing out Makeup Revolution Makeup | Full Face First Impression

Hi guys,
I've seen many youtube videos of full face first impressions, and one brand tutorials. So, I decided that I would start doing Full Face First Impressions of one brand.

This week, I tested out makeup from Makeup Revolution!

If you've followed me for a while on my channel, you'll know that I LOVE Makeup Revolution products, as they're very high quality for such an affordable price, and have some incredible dupes for high end products!

I've only tried blushes, liquid lipsticks and eyeshadow palettes from this brand before, so thought that it would be great to test out some other products from them. I have never tried any foundations, concealers, eyeliners or mascaras from them before, so decided to purchase some, and put them to the test. As I've never tried out these specific items before, it is a complete first impression on these types of products from Makeup revolution.

Check out my full face first impression (above), and my Makeup Revolution haul (below). I'll give you a little sneak peek with the first impression - some products I loved, and some I actually hated!

Products I tested out:
I heart Chocolate & Peaches Palette
Amazing Liquid Eyeliner - Waterproof
The Viper Mascara - Black
Ultra Brow Arch & Shape - Medium
Ultra Face Base Foundation  - FB03
Focus & Fix Liquid Concealer - 02 Fair
Luxury Powder - Banana
Golden Sugar 2 Rose Gold Palette
Salvation Liquid Lip Lacquer - What I Believe

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

Super Affordable Online Hauls! (Amazon, Ebay, Aliexpress)

10:34 0 Comments
Hi Guys,
   
So, it's been a very long time since I managed to actually sit down and write a blog post. In all honesty, I have been super super busy these last couple of months, an have pretty much neglected my blog!

I thought this new blog post would be a perfect opportunity for me to tell you all about my Bargain Online Shopping!

As you will probably know, if you watch my youtube videos, I am obsessed with a bargain, and am always on the lookout for dupes of high end products. Sometimes, I think "why would you pay so much for a product, when you can get something similar for so much cheaper?". I'm always on the hunt for the latest dupe, and I've finally found a few of them!

I did one of these Hauls last year, and everyone loved it, and I had been asked several times if I could do another one, so here it is!

This time, I've managed to get my hands on some FABULOUS beauty products, clothing, and much more. I've found an incredible Triangl Bikini Dupe (which I have been after since last year) which is under £8, and is a perfect dupe! Also, I've found a dupe for the Nars Ita Brush (under £2), a dupe for the Dermablend Foundation (under £6), plus so much more!

All of these products were purchased from eBay, Amazon, and Aliexpress, and the majority were under £10!

If there are any products which you would like to try out, just let me know! The videos are listed below, so you can check them out!

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

BH Cosmetics Haul!

08:01 6 Comments
Hi guys,

I have recently purchased some new products from BH Cosmetics, and it was first time I have ordered from them. All I can say is that I'm super excited to use them!

I had seen that they had an offer on, where you receive a free mascara with purchases over $15. 

I have seen on some of Casey Holmes' and Blair Fowler's Videos that they are constantly raving about BH Cosmetics, so I decided to take the plunge and make a purchase.

I have seen many makeup tutorials from Casey Holmes, so chose the ones that I liked the look of, and I simply fell in love as soon as they arrived. 


The products that I purchased (L - R):






Click on the names and it will take you to the link of where to purchase them. If you would like to see swatches, I will post another blog post with swatches of all palettes. Swatches are here!

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

All Pink Summer Makeup Tutorial!

04:46 0 Comments


Hi Guys,

It's officially summer, and I thought I would show you a tutorial on the make-up you have been seeing me wear in my videos for the last couple of weeks.

Theres shimmer on the eyes, lips and face, as well as Pink everywhere too!

The eye look is created with my Makeup revolution Iconic 3 Palette, which I absolutely love - and is also a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette. This is also the first tutorial I have done where I am not using false eyelashes. the reason for this, is because I don't usually wear them anymore since I have recently discovered my FAVOURITE Mascara - the Benefit Roller Lash!

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

Makeup Revolution Haul Swatches!

08:27 0 Comments


Hi guys,
If you have recently been watching my channel, you will know that I have uploaded a new Makeup revolution Haul this week.

I am slightly obsessed with Makeup revolution, and always have to place an order in when they have new products released.

I recently took advantage of a 20% off offer which they are holding for everyone who is subscribe to their newsletter - you even get 20% off of sale products too!

My haul is above for you, so you can see all of the products which I purchased. I have also added swatches on all of the palettes which Purchased so you can see the pigmentation of them.

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

Redemption Palette Iconic 3 

This palette contains 12 shades in rose gold, gold and brown shades. I have seen so many blog posts comparing this to the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette, and I have to say that it is pretty much identical. 

As you can see from the swatches, the matte shades are not as pigmented as the shimmer shades, but they are all super beautiful and buttery, and they blend like a dream.







Shades 1-6 with no Primer

Shades 7-12 with no Primer



I Heart Chocolate Palette

This palette contains 16 shades - 5 Matte and 11 Shimmer. I have seen many people comparing this to the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette, and I have to say that the similarity is uncanny. They literally look exactly the same! 

From the swatches, you can see that, again, the matte shades aren't as pigmented as the shimmer shades, but they still are so beautiful. The blend amazingly, and the pigmentation is literally incredible.

The packaging is amazing, and you can tell that they have put so much thought into it. It makes it stand out so much more than any of the other palettes I have. It literally looks like a melting bar of chocolate, and has a light chocolate scent to it to...Yum! 

This is probably my favourite palette from Makeup Revolution that I own. Love, Love, Love!










Top Row Swatches: (L-R) You Need Love; Piece Me Together; One More Piece; 
Love Torn; Stolen Chocolate 


Middle Row Swatches: (L-R) Thank Friday; More!; Pleasure Girl; Meet Chocolate; 
Unforgivable; Love Divine 


Bottom Row Swatches: (L-R) Smooth Criminal; Love Chocolate; You Need More; 
What A Way To Go; Endorphins Ready


Highlighter Palette - Radiance 

This is a palette containing Makeup Revolution 3 Best Selling Highlighters - Breathe, Exhale & Glow.

All of these highlighters are warm toned highlighters, so are great for summer and for all skin tones.

I have seen many videos and blog posts comparing this palette to the Hourglass Ambient Lighing Palette. I don't agree with this fully, as the Hourglass palette has a two shades which are more pink toned. But both palettes look very similar with their shimmer and texture. 

Exhale is the shade which I believe is best suited for pale skin tones - as it is the least warm toned shade, and is very pale.

Breathe and Glow are perfect if you have tanned skin, a these will enhance your glow, without making you look orange. 

I love that these shades are pigmented and shiny - not glittery. This is great, as you will not look like a disco ball if you over do the highlight, as it is pretty hard to build up too much product.







(L-R): Breathe; Exhale; Glow
