Hi guys,

Today I wanted to share with you the best lip oils I’ve found - and I’ve tried A LOT! 

These lip oils are by KAB Cosmetics, and I’ve been using them for the last year, so I really know how they are and their benefits. 

Something I really like about KAB Cosmetics is that all products are cruelty free and they’re Leaping Bunny Approved, so you don’t need to worry about them testing in animals. 

They retail for $20 which is a little up there in price, but they’re roughly the same price as the higher end lip oils I’ve seen. But you can save 20% on everything on Kabcosmetics.com by using code ‘ChloeL’.

There’s 6ml in each tube, which is around the same as most lip oils on the market. But, because the formula is quite thick, you don’t need to use much of it. 

They come in 6 different shades, with 5 of them making your teeth appear whiter with the violet/blue pigments. They have a slight tint to them which isn’t noticeable that much when wearing them but give a slight colour. The only shade which doesn’t have a tint is Sugar Rush, as it’s a clear lip oil. 

The other shades available are Rum Punch (red tint), Honey Dew (orange tint), Grapesicle and Juicy Melon (purple tint), and Blue Raspberry (blue tint). 

The only shades I haven’t tried are Sugar Rush and Grapesicle. 

All have the same coconut scent which is beautiful! I am sometimes sensitive to scents, but I have no issue with this at all. The only thing I have to say is that I wish they smelt like their names - for instance Honey Dew having a honey or honeydew melon scent. However, I actually love the scent of coconut they’ve added. It smells just like summer and it’s so nice to put it on and still smell it for a couple of seconds.

They have Shea Oil in the ingredients - which is great for hydrating dry skin. 

I tend to suffer with dry lips quite often - I need to drink more water - and when I wear these they instantly feel hydrated. 

These have a pretty thick consistency, but they don’t feel sticky at all, and the doe foot applicator is large so you can easily and quickly apply to your lips. The packaging is large and sleek, and I never have any issues with leaking. I like that the packing is white with the silver logo, as it seems more clean and it’s much more vibrant on the shade you’re using. 

My go-to look has been to use a pink/nude/brown Lipliner to line my lips and going in with a couple of dabs of the lip oil. It’s easy and quick to do, looks beautiful, and hydrates your lips whilst looking shiny and glossy.  

I’m currently using Rum Punch and Blue Raspberry as I find these tints pair great with any lip liners I use. If I want to slightly warm up the shade, I use Rum Punch, and if I want a cooler tone I use Blue Raspberry. 

(Top - Rum Punch; Bottom - Blue Raspberry)

I keep one tube on my side table which I use before I go to bed, one in my bag, and one by my desk when I work! So, I guess you can say that I have one with me at all times.

 Hi guys,

It’s been a while since I actually posted on my blog! I’ve been trying to get back into social since I had a little break due to being so busy with work for the past year! 

I wanted my first post back to be about a very popular collection from Chanel. There has never been a Chanel collection where I actually bought multiple items - I bought the blush duo for spring 2021, and that was really the only limited edition piece I purchased … until now that is.

When I saw the collection advertised, I know that I needed to pick up almost one of everything as there are items I’ve never tried before! 

Every piece is limited edition with the exception of the lipstick in the shade Pirate. 

My try on video is above on my YouTube channel and here! 

I have photos from each item I purchased, as well as a little review for each product and if I’d recommend picking them up. 

Chanel No5 Holiday Eyeshadow Palette 

The embossed pans are a great touch they’ve added as the collection is based on Chanel No5. 

Saying this, I do wish they had exchanged the top white shade for a transition shade as I can’t use this palette on its own - I either have to go in with my bronzer or a shade from another palette - and that completely defeats the purpose of having a quad. 

The gold and iridescent white (bottom) swatched beautifully however I would say to use your fingers to Pat on the colour as it will make more of an impact. 

The black was a bit of a let down for me as it swatches quite sheer and you need to build the colour up quite a lot. This isn’t so bad if you just like a wash of colour, but for me a Smokey eye is all about the drama. 

The frosted white also didn’t swatch the best and I could only really use this as a topper which you don’t need as the iridescent shade is so beautiful and can easily replace this. 

I’ve used the palette quite a few times to create a softer look by using a brown from another palette and using the gold and iridescent shades as a highlighter and lid shade which look beautiful. I like that you can use this palette softly or deeper depending on which shades you use. 

The packaging is beautiful just like any other Chanel quad, and you have the gold CC instead of the plain white on the packaging.

The packaging is very sturdy and you have the little applicators for if you’re on the go, or if you want to create an eyeliner with the black.

Overall, it’s a nice palette and if you want to collect them I’d say go ahead and buy, but other than that you don’t NEED to buy it. 

The lack of transition shade and pigmentation of 2 of the shades brings the score down. 

Score : 7/10

Chanel Fluide Elumineur in Or Ivoire 

This is the first illuminizer I’ve tried from Chanel - even though I have the other 2 shades of the healthy glow highlighters but have yet to try. 

I have to say that I was pretty worried when I saw the shade that it would be too to however when swatched and applied to my skin, this gives such a beautiful wash of colour and shimmer (when mixed with foundation) and a gorgeous highlight when added to the specific points of the face. 

You get A LOT of product for the price - £40 for 30ml or 1 fl oz - and you don’t even need to use an entire pump when highlighting the face so a little goes a very long way! When compared to benefit high beam which is £15.50 for 6ml, (£2.58 vs £1.33 per ml) it works out much better in the long run! 

I used 1 pump when I mixed with foundation, but only 3-4 drops to highlight my cheekbones, nose, lip and brow bone and that’s with me adding several layer to the cheekbones! 

The highlight is BLINDING but you can tone it down by doing a no makeup makeup look or by simply using less product. This doesn’t need to be set with powder - and I have very oily skin! 

It also doesn’t irritate my very sensitive skin or break my acne prone skin out either.

This is a staple in my makeup routine now and I even purchased a second bottle as a backup as it’s limited so won’t be able to buy again. 

Overall, I absolutely ADORE this product and I will constantly recommend them to everyone! 

Score: 1000/10

Chanel Baume Essentiel in Or

This product is one of those that I wish I had never bought! I haven’t tried this product but I heard a lot of people raving about them, saying you can get a glass skin effect and that it looks beautiful on the skin. 

This limited edition version has gold sparkles - reminiscent to the Chanel No5 bottle. 

Well, I don’t see the hype around this at all.

To me, it literally was like I had just rubbed Vaseline on my collarbone and shoulders. There’s a tiny hint of shimmer but it’s not noticeable. 

For £35, I thought that it would be something revolutionary. It wasn’t and isn’t. If I want the same effect, I would rub some Vaseline on me, or if I want a better effect, I’d just use my body glow from Revolution which is £15 for a huge bottle! 

Plus, when I twisted the product a little and tried to twist it back down, it didn’t want to budge so I had to push it down with my finger - not the most sanitary product. 

I don’t recommend it and I suggest you save your money.

Score: 0/10 

Chanel No 5 Rouge Allure Lipsticks 

I don’t think I’ve purchased these intense lipsticks before - and they don’t tend to do anything other than matte when they do a collection so this was a pleasant surprise. 

I picked up 3 of the 5 shades as 4 were different variations of red and there was one nude-pink (although the website states it’s a red).

The shades I picked up were 176 Independante, 99 Pirate and 191 Rouge Brulant. When looking at the reds separately, you can’t really see much difference, but when putting them side by side they look nothing the same! 

Independante is more or a bright red, where as Pirate is a true red. Both were very different to eachother so could justify buying the two. I only tend to go for red in winter and around Christmas so they wouldn’t get much used out of them. I’ve wanted Pirate for a long time as it’s one of Chanel’s classic shades and is always on the must buy lists on all blogs and most on YouTube. 

Rouge Brulant I picked up as I always go for pink-nude lipsticks and this was slightly different as it has a hint of red. It’s very strange as I don’t have a shade that looks like this and I have a lot of lipsticks! 

The only shade I have worn is independante and it’s STUNNING! The shade is very pigmented - one swipe is enough. Stays on most of the day and just elevates any look. I highly recommend picking this up if you only want to buy a lipstick - you won’t be disappointed. 

Overall, I really like this formula and it’s probably my favourite formula for Chanel lipsticks - the Rouge Allure Lacque and Tenue Duos are my favourite lip colours overall from Chanel. I will get a lot of use out of Independante as it’s so beautiful and I don’t have anything the same in my collection.

I’ve given a point off as they don’t stay on All day and you need to reapply after a while. 

Score - 9/10

Final thoughts 

Overall, this collection was nice, but there are only a couple of pieces I’d say to buy if you want to get something from the collection.

The illuminizer and the Independante Lipstick are my go-to product as I can see me using these until they’re finished. Go and pick these 2 items up if you want to buy from the collection.

Only buy the palette if you really love the shades or if you’re a collector. You don’t need to buy it but it’s a nice piece. 

Don’t buy the Baume Essentiel unless you know you love the formula and the product - this you can just skip.

Thanks for reading and watching,

Hi Guys,

I haven't been on my blog for about half a year now, so it's been a LONG TIME! I've decided to start posting about new products, and products which I have recently been testing. So what's the best way to do this, than to test out New Viral Tiktok Drugstore Makeup?!

The makeup featured, is makeup that has been going all around Tiktok, and apparently they're amazing, so I decided I was going to test them out.

Next, I tried the Maybelline Sky High Mascara. This was by far the hardest product for me to get my hands on as it was sold out pretty much everywhere! I finally managed to purchase it from Superdrug - but an hour after putting my order in, it was sold out again!

Hi Guys,

I recently tested out the Nikkietutorials x Beauty Bay palette on my youtube channel, and I wanted to share my experience and the swatches on this post (I had included the swatches in my video above). 

There are 20 shades in the palette - a mixture of matte and shimmer shades, and a mix of light, dark, bright, neutral and pastel shades. 

Nikkie mentioned in her video that she wanted to create a light and dark side of the palette, as there are 2 sides to her and she wanted a palette which could be versatile for everyone's needs.

Inside the palette, you also get a card which tells you about each shade as well as if it's best to use with a brush or your fingers. I tend to use my fingers for shimmer shades anyway as I feel as though you get a better payoff that way. 

I swatched every shade after I had tested them out on the eyes, as I managed to test out 15 OF THE 20 SHADES on my eyes! I wanted to show you how they swatch on the arm, as well as how they show up on the eyes. 

The majority of the shades swatched beautifully, and there was an exception to a couple which weren't the most pigmented, but these tended to be the lighter pastel shades, and a shimmer shade which looks as though it would be more of a topper than a stand-alone shade. 

Swatches

All swatches were done dry on a clean arm, with no setting spray, and in natural light. 

Top Row - (L-R) Redemption; Blend & Snap!; Ivy; Slasher; 5AM. 

All shades other than 'Ivy' are Matte. All shades swatched nicely, with 'Slasher' needing a little more to get to the pigment of the others. My favourite shade in the row is 'Blend & Snap!' as it applies and blends beautifully, as well as the shade being the perfect pink-matte shade. 

2nd Row - (L-R) Roxy Catan; Vla; Mikai; Mila; Underground.

This line is my favourite, as every single shade his stunning and performs really well on the swatches. 

There are 3 shimmers and 2 matte shades in this line - 'Zomer' and 'Amsterdam' are the mattes. 

Every shade swatched beautifully - with 'Amsterdam' being slightly less pigmented but still beautiful, m and built up well on the eye. The only shade I didn't use on my eye on this line is 'Mr Tutorials'. All shades which I used on the eye worked amazingly and were stunning. 

As soon as I saw 'Mama Tutorials' I knew that this shade would be special - it reminds me of a mermaid shade and is perfect for spring and summer, or to create a mermaid makeup look. 

My favourite shade from this line is 'Mama Tutorials' with 'Pride' coming a close second. 

Review

Overall, I love this palette and have created some beautiful eye looks in the video, as well as several after the video was filmed. You can create so many different looks  - the possibilities are endless with this palette! 

This has been a staple, and will continue to be a staple in my makeup routine because no matter what look I am feeling on a day, I can create it with this palette. 

All shimmers swatched beautifully, are incredibly pigmented - you only need to dip your finger in and you'll get so much pigment on your finger. The shimmers I used on the eye performed very well when using them. The only exception is 'Ivy' as I feel it's more of a topper than a stand alone shade. 

With the matte shades, the majority swatched very well, with 'Vla', 'Plot Twist' and 'Basic Trut' being the exceptions. 'Vla' could easily be built up, as I can see that the pigmentation is almost there, 'Basic Trut' I feel is too close to my skin tone to show up as well, and 'Plot Twist' didn't seem to pack the punch I bought it would have, however it is a pastel shade so may be a little more subtle than the others. 

I will be featuring this palette in some more videos very soon, so if you want to see other looks I create with the palette, then keep checking back on my channel!
