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,

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

Hi Guys,

If you're new to my channel, or my blog, you probably won't know that I have the strangest skin imaginable. When I buy foundations, primers or skin care, I have to take into account the many problems with my skin.

I have oily combination skin, with a super oily t-zone, sensitive skin, acne-prone skin, acne scars, redness on my cheeks and chin, and the occasional blemish. Phew! That is a lot of things that my skin has!

And, because my oiliness is so bad on my t-zone - My face looks like its sweating after a couple of hours - I need to have skin care and foundations which can hold up with my oils.

Now, I've tried so many different types of foundation - I used to have dry skin, so I know a lot about the best and worst foundations for dry skin too - some have worked wonder, some have worked ok, and some have just been plain crap. Cue, my idea for a new video - The Best + Worst Foundations For Oily Skin.

All of these products which I have spoken about in this video are all either '100% Oil Free', 'Matte', or are 'Specifically For Oily Skin'. So, these foundations all promise to keep you matte either all day, or for a certain amount of hours. I put all of these to the test, and this is what I found out - in the video below.

Of course, I HAD to include my holy grail foundation - my Estee Lauder Double Wear - which I actually have in 3 different shades, for different stages of self tan. I am literally obsessed with this foundation, and it keeps me matte ALL DAY! Some foundations were great, and some not so great.

Check out the video to see my opinions on different foundation which worked, and didn't work for me.

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

If you've seen my First Impressions Friday (F.I.F) videos, you'll know that I videoed my first impressions for Rimmel Stay Matte Liquid Mousse Foundation and Soap & Glory Thick & Fast Mascara.
     I gave my full honest opinion of these products from my first impressions of using them, and my idea of the Rimmel Foundation dramatically changed so I thought I'd do an update to show you all my final thoughts and if I'd be returning the products.
    
Hope you enjoy the video! :)

I love doing reviews but I knew that I did a lack of review videos, and I just always try different products. So I wondered, what about sharing my First Impression of these products with everyone.
     I've seen a lot of videos of reviewers using Fridays as their designated day for doing these review so decide I would hop on the band wagon and do Fridays as my first impressions days. There are so many new products I would love to try out, and if I didn't like them, I could always return them back to the store, or give them to some friends or family members who would actually like them if I didn't. Obviously I would give other people my mascaras or pencil eyeliners, they could get an infection!
     I decided just after Christmas I would do these videos, so my subscribers could easily know that I was doing a new review every Friday of new products.
     I received a Soap & Glory Thick and Fast mascara for Christmas, so decided that was to be my first video. I then saw a new foundation in my local drugstore so decided to try that out too! (it said that it was full coverage and I needed a full coverage foundation really bad.
So here are my first two first impressions videos. See if I liked them or didn't.

Enjoy,
Chloe :)
