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.

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,

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
