Hi Guys,

So if you've been subscribed to me for a while, you will know that I tend to upload once a week, and this has been my schedule for the past couple of years - I would like to be able to upload more than once, but I have a full-time job, so it's pretty hard just trying to put in place a filming schedule!

I had been away from youtube for around 3-4 weeks, which is very unlike me, but I had a few things happen to me, which prevented me from filming and uploading.

A couple of years ago, I had a few problems happen all in one go, which prevented me from uploading for around a month, and unless it's something I can't work around, I'll be uploading on schedule as usual. With this one, it was my laptop breaking, my camera breaking, and just everything going wrong! (I talk about this experience again in the video, just incase you're a newer subscriber).

This time, I ended up have 3 things happen to me all within the space of around 1-2 weeks, and it was absolute hell!

In the video above, I go into detail about 2 of the 3 reasons, as it would explain a lot on why I've been away for so long.

I'm so sorry to all of you who were expecting my usual videos, but I'm so thankful to each an every one of you who have stayed with me throughout this.

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

Hi Guys,

If you've been watching my channel, you'll know that I've been going through a MAJOR Spring Clean of my Makeup Collection!

I've been decluttering each drawer in my Alex 9 Drawers, and I can tell you know, I have gotten rid of A LOT of makeup!

In Part 2, I decluttered all of my Powders, Blushes, Bronzers and Highlighter, where there was a total of 70 items which I was going through. I think I did pretty well on this video, as there was one product that I've kept close to my heart, ever since I received it when I was around 12-13 years old. It was actually quite hard for me to declutter this drawer, as there were some that I just didn't want to let go.

In Part 3, I decluttered all of my Lip Products - Lip Balms, Lip Tints, Lip Liners, Lipglosses, Liquid Lipsticks and Lipsticks. This video is twice as long as my other videos, as I had absolutely no idea that I had over 170 LIP PRODUCTS!!! My collection was just absolutely crazy, and I can't believe I hd that many, as I didn't even use half of them. This video was quite easy for me, as I had lots of things that had either expired, or that I knew I was never going to use. In this video, I decluttered the most out of all of the videos!

To see how I did, click on the videos above or below. Part 2 (above), Part 3 (below).

Hi Guys,

I've been waiting for quite a while to film my Makeup Declutter series, as my makeup collection has gotten just too much!

 If you've seen my Makeup Collection videos (Part 1 & Part 2), you will know that I have A LOT of makeup, and I'm basically a hoarder.
So last week, I decided that enough was enough, I had no room left to put my new purchases, and I just had way too many products in each of my drawers. I decided that it's finally time for me to clear out my drawers, and get rid of anything that I either don't us, is the wrong colour for me, is empty, or has expired.

Going into this, I didn't realise exactly how many products I had, until I had emptied them out onto my floor. The sheer amount of foundations I had completely baffled me, and I knew I had a problem!

In this Makeup Declutter series, I've gone through 5 of my drawers, and decided to try to get rid of around half of my makeup collection.

The first drawer wasn't very hard for me - I pretty much knew which foundations I used and which ones I wanted to keep. There were a few that I hadn't used for a while, so it was nice to be able to see them. Seeing them again, made me think that I really need to start using them or just bin them once and for all.

With all of the makeup I get rid of, I will be giving it to friends and family (if it's been used), selling them (if they've never been opened), or chucking in the bin (if they're empty).

I'm impressed with how well I managed to do on this drawer, and I have so much more room in my drawer, and can finally see everything in there!

Chloe xoxo

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. 




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

Hi Guys,

I don't really film many hauls on my channel, as I haven't really been making a lot of purchases recently. I've been trying to cut down on the amount of makeup I've been buying - my Alex 9 Drawers are completely full of makeup, and you would have guessed that's the reason if you had seen my Makeup Collection Videos! (Part 1, Part 2)

A couple of weeks ago, I ventured out shopping with my friend Rhi, and she's such a bad influence on me when we go shopping, because I end up buying so many things. I literally came back with bags in bags, full up to the top...it wasn't good for my bank balance!

I accumulated quite a few things from this shopping trip, and the week before, so thought I'd incorporate everything into a video. I know that some of you guys like watching my hauls, and there might be some new products in here that you'd like to get another opinion on. I will be doing a First Impression video on a products I purchased in this video, and I can't wait!

To see everything I have in this haul, just click on the video above. There are some great things from Hollister (obviously, and I'm obsessed with Hollister), the Disney Store, Victoria's Secret, and much more.

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

Hi Guys,

So, I've finally uploaded a new Get Ready With Me. The last time I uploaded one of these videos, was probably last January, so about a year and a half ago!

I don't usually do Get Ready With Me videos, because I usually just have the same makeup look for quite a while for everything, so I don't feel that there's any need to give you the same look over and over again!

I decided to film a new video of me getting ready for a work event. I've had lots of these events recently, and I really love doing this makeup, as I don't use false lashes, and I use a slick of my favourite lipstick.

Also, I've been using new skincare and new makeup, so you'll see part of my skincare routine, and you'll see some new makeup which I am LOVING!

I love watching Get Ready With Me videos, as you can see how to recreate the makeup and I feel as though I'm getting ready with my viewers, so I love that I feel a little connection whilst doing it.

Check out how I created this makeup look, and I hope that you enjoy getting ready with me.



Also, I have a NEW GIVEAWAY at 5,000 subscribers - and we're less than 600 away! I'm so excited!

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

Hi Guys,

I've finally managed to film and upload an updated MAC Lipstick Collection.

I uploaded my first MAC Lipstick Collection around 2 years ago, and my collection has grown a lot since then. Because of this, I wanted to film an updated one, and I also wanted an excuse to do another little giveaway.

In my first collection video, I think I had around 7 lipsticks, but this time around, I have around 17-18 lipsticks - and I forgot to include one of my favourites too...which is a nightmare! Also, I have live lip swatches as well, so that you can see what the colour looks like on my lips.

As you can see from the video, I'm very into my pinks, pinky-nudes, reds, oranges and purples - I have A LOT of pinks and reds! Some of these lipsticks are limited edition, so unfortunately, you can't purchase these from the website.

Here are some of the swatches below. To see my full MAC Lipstick Collection, click on the video above.

Hi Guys,

If you've been following youtube for a while, you'll know that ColourPop has the THE go-to brand for liquid lipsticks for a while - with dupes for some of the Kylie Lip Kits!

I recently made a purchase to ColourPop, as they had Free International Shipping, so I took advantage of this, and ordered A LOT of liquid lipsticks.

I ordered these in 4 different formulas - Satin, Ultra Matte, Glossy and Metallic.

So far, I've tried the Ultra Matte and Satin formulas, and I LOVE the Satin lipsticks! I assumed, as they were satin, that they wouldn't stay on for very long, and assumed they'd crumble and come off when I ate, but I was very wrong. Satin is now my favourite formula, and stays on almost all day, through eating and drinking!
They don't feel drying on the lips, and they don't make your lips look cakey. I use my Jouer Lip Topper in Skinny Dip over the top, and it makes them sparkle, and looks so good for Spring & Summer!

My favourite shade out of my haul is Magic Wand. The colour looks so beautiful with my skin tone - it's a nudey-pink, which is not too light or too dark, and lasts for hours on the lips.

I bought a couple of these shades, as they were some of the Best Sellers on the ColourPop website, so I thought they would be the perfect addition to my makeup collection. Beeper, Magic Wand, and Echo Park are some of these, and I'm really happy that I purchased them!

Here are the swatches for the products I purchased from ColourPop. To look at all colours in the tube, and to watch some more lipsticks I didn't show in this blog, check out my video (above).









Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

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,

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

Hi guys,

I have uploaded my second of both of my Christmas makeup tutorials. Incase you are struggling with any ideas for tomorrow's big day, then I have uploaded a couple of ideas which you might like to recreate.

This one is all about the bold red lips, and the glittery eyes - the glitter is iridescent so looks as though it is different colours in every light. The glitter which I have used is the SugarPill Lumi Loose Eyeshadow, which I have to say that I am obsessed with. using this with my Too Faced Glitter Glue, helps it to stay on ALL DAY AND NIGHT!

I love this classic look on Christmas, with the red, white, and green.

The majority of these products are Drugstore, but you can easily find dupes for the products which are high end. I have also used a product which is an incredible dupe for the Chanel Tan De Chanel Soleil Bronzer. I love this, and it works perfectly on my pale skin. An amazing point is that it is less than £5!

Enjoy the tutorial,
Chloe xoxo

Hi Guys,

If you have been watching my channel for the last couple of weeks, you will know that I haven't taken part in Vlogmas. Well, that's all changed now!

I have finally uploaded a vlog for vlogmas - which I started in the 15th December. The reason? I have been working full time, including in December, but I have now broken up for christmas, and won't be back at work until January so I have so much more spare time on my hands! YAY!

Here, I have attached my first Day of Vlogmas, where I have a trip to Costco, a mini haul from Victoria's Secret, and explain why I've only just started Vlogmas now.

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

Hi Guys,
If you are as obsessed as me with Makeup, and have been watching Youtube for a number of years, you will have seen so many Youtubers talking about NYX Cosmetics, and how great their products are!

If you live here in the UK, then you know how hard it was for us to get our hands on NYX (Amazon wanted atlas triple the price of the retail price).

I went online, doing a little bit of shopping, the other week, and came across NYX at Feelunique. I was so shocked and super excited to get my hands on some of these products - is that crazy? - but was disappointed when I found out that the majority of their items were sold out! Especially the ones which I wanted to purchase.

Skip ahead a couple of hours, and I'm searching for my favourite Dry Shampoo on Boots - Batiste in Dark Brunette, if you didn't already know  - and saw that they have recently just stocked NYX! Cue the childlike screams - and I managed to pick up everything I wanted for the same price, and none was Out Of Stock - Hooray!!

I picked up 3 products in total, but these are ones which I have been researching for a long time, so I knew straight away that I wanted them.

Check out everything that I purchased in my New Beauty Haul (below).



All of the NYX Products were purchased from www.boots.com.

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo
