02:05 0 Comments


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
Illuminate by Ashley Cream Cheek and Lip Tints in Rose, Coco, Red Velvet and Espresso - $2.50
Illuminate by Ashley Illuminating Shimmer in Shimmering Sand and Beach Bum - $2.50
Illuminate by Ashley Liquid Lipstick in London and Miami - $6.99
Illuminate by Ashley Enhancing Lipgloss in Aloha, Hibiscus and Coral Reef - $2.50

Check out my video (above) to see what I though of every product, and check in the info box for my final update.

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

24 HOUR MATTE FOUNDATION?! YSL All Hours Foundation First Impression!

08:00 0 Comments


Hi Guys,

I tried out the YSL All Hours Foundation for a First Impression on my youtube channel last week (see video below). 
I've had high expectations for this foundation, as all I've heard on youtube is people raving about it, saying how much they loved it, (also, Casey Holmes has super oily skin and she tried this out, and loved it) so I thought I'd give it a go. Anything which says matte, I instantly know that I have to try it. 

My skin type: very oily t-zone with combination skin, blemishes, redness, sensitive, acne prone with large pores. 



The mains claims which this foundation advertises are; Matte, Flawless, Even finish; Full coverage; Stays put for up to 24 hours; Waterproof and Transfer Resistant; Helps to reduce the appearance of pores; Skin look Fresh and Smooth. 



As this foundation states that it has 24 HOUR WEAR!, I decided that I'd test it out for as long as I could, and wanted to make sure that I kept it on my skin for at least 8 hours - as this is a usual work day, and some of you would probably want to see how it holds up for the average work day. 

I have tested out a foundation a couple of months ago, which also claimed to have 24 hour wear - Estee Lauder Double Wear Nude Water Fresh Makeup - and found it to be pretty crap. It didn't hold up very well on my oils, and I wasn't overall impressed with it. 

I felt this foundation would be better, as it's a matte formula, so had very high hopes, but wouldn't be as shocked if it didn't work out for me. 


Before

After

After testing out this foundation for a few more times, here are the Pros and Cons.

Pros:
- Dried to a Matte Finish.
- Didn't make me oily at all - even after 10 hours, and my forehead usual gets shiny after 5 hours with other foundations. 
- The packaging is stunning, and they also included a pump. *BIG Thumbs Up for the pump*
- Gave me a flawless look to my skin.
- Formula was almost the same as my EL Double Wear Original (my holy grail foundation).
- Medium to Full Coverage.
- Very buildable. I could build up this foundation, and it didn't look cakey or patchy at all. 
- Available in a wide range of shades, in Cool, Neutral, and Warm Undertone. Shades for very light to very dark skin colours. 
- No smell/fragrance.
- Contains SPF20, which is perfect for the spring and summertime. 
- My pores and laughter lines were very reduced. 
- Didn't break me out, and was great on my sensitive skin! 

Cons:
- Only 25ml, which is smaller than the usual foundation weight. 
- Very pricey for the amount of product. £33.50 or $58. 
- Doesn't fully cover up redness.
- Became patchy on one side of my face (on my cheeks) during the day. 
- Transferred easily. 
- Oxidised A LOT! Make sure the buy a shade lighter, or wait a minute for it to dry before you purchase the shade. 

Overall, I love how to foundation looks on my skin. It makes my skin appear flawless, and covers up blemishes very well. You don't need too much of the foundation, however you do need more than the Marc Jacobs Remarcable Foundation, which contains slightly less than the YSL.

The foundation hasn't broken my skin out, and I haven't been irritated from it. 
It does come off on one side of my face when I'm at work - maybe it could be transferring as part of my job is working on phones. 

This foundation is beaufil on the skin, and it controls my oils throughout the WHOLE DAY! I love the appearance of my skin when using it, however I'm unsure if I would repurchase, as I do need to apply more foundation after work due to transferring. Saying this, the foundation builds up very well, but I'd need to see if I have any other foundations (other than EL DW) which hold up better for work. 

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

NEW 24 HOUR FOUNDATION?! Estee Lauder Double Wear Nude Water Fresh Foundation First Impression!

04:00 0 Comments


Hi Guys,

A couple of weeks ago, all I heard all over Youtube, Cosmopolitan, the Internet, was about Estee Lauder's soon-to-launch Double Wear Foundation.

I already own the original Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation, and have kept repurchasing it for the past few years, so hearing about a NEW Formula with 24 HOUR WEAR, I went absolutely crazy, and couldn't wait for the launch!

Check out my First Impression on this foundation (above).

The original Double Wear is my Holy Grail, and has been for the past couple of years. Not only does it have 15 hour wear (it stays in place ALL DAY!), but it gives an incredible finish, a little goes a very long way, and it's the only foundation which can control my oils throughout the day. Also, it's the ONLY foundation I took with me to Florida, where it was super humid, incredibly hot, and was waterproof on all of the water rides!

As I love the original formula, I thought that this new formula, being light-medium coverage, feeling lighter on the skin, being water-based and having 24 hour wear; I felt i couldn't go wrong and it would work perfectly on my skin.

My skin type is Oily-Combination (Very Oily T-zone), Sensitive, Acne-Prone with Redness & Blemishes, and Large Pores.

This new foundation is called Estee Lauder Double Wear Nude Water Fresh Make-up Foundation, and I picked up two different shades - 2W2 Rattan and 3W1 Tawny. 2W2 is the shade I've been using recently of the original, so thought I would get an exact match, and have a slightly darker one for when I'm more self tanned.


The packaging looks almost exactly the same as the original, with it's frosted glass finish and gold cap - it's just a slightly longer bottle. 

It contains 30ml/1 fl.oz, SPF 30, and is available in 33 different shades (1C0 Shell to 7N1 Deep Amber). 

I  applied this first with a brush to see how it would apply, and then tried a Beauty Blender to see if I could get extra coverage. I felt using the beauty blender gave extra coverage, but would probably use a foundation brush, and it doesn't look as cakey or shiny.

BEFORE AND AFTER


I kept this foundation on of 10 hours, as I wanted to put it through it's paced, for saying it had 24 hour wear. 

See my First Impression above, to see what I thought of the foundation, and how it lasted throughout the day.

Let me know what your thoughts are on this foundation, if you've tried it!

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

New Products I'm Testing Out For My Acne!

03:03 0 Comments


Hey guys,
     As you will know, if you watch my videos, I have been suffering from acne since I was 16. I managed to get it near enough cleared up a few years ago, and then started using Proactiv to keep it at bay.
     Now, because I have sensitive skin, the proactive was not the best product for me to use. It started to work for the first year, and because I couldn't use it twice a day which it suggested (because of my sensitive skin) it started to come back, and my face was getting very irritated. And the last few months of me using the product, my acne started to come back a lot worse.
     I've been fed up of using many different products to try to get rid of my Acne, and so many of them have worked, and then they stopped working. So this time, I decided to use a product from the brand Clinique. I went to my local Boots Store, and spoke to the lady about my acne. She said the Anti-Blemish 3 Step Solutions was a great product to use and this was great for sensitive skin, it wouldn't irritate me, and the moisturiser won't dry my skin out.
     So, I decided to go and purchase this in my hopes it would make my skin nice and clear.
     I've been documenting every week of me using this system. I've so far edited  2 updates and a video on how my skin looked before using it. Check them out above, and let me know if you think it's working! I'm doing a new update every week on how my skin looks, and f it's made any difference.
