Autumn/Winter Hollister Haul!

09:00 0 Comments



 Hi guys,


As you know, I have a bit of an obsession with Hollister because their clothes are AMAZING quality and last forever! 

It actually took me until about 5-6 years ago before I stepped foot in a Hollister store because they were so dark and like beach huts, but after my friend Rhi made me go in with her, I was hooked! 


I tend to do a Hollister haul around every season because I can always find some great pieces, and as they tend to re-release some of the same clothes each year, the pieces last such a long time and are always on style! 


Everything I picked up in this haul was on offer or in the sale, and I got them for great prices! 


As with all of my hauls, I also try on each piece so you can see what they look like. I also let you know the prices I paid, as well as the size I picked each piece up in. 


Enjoy,

Chloe xoxo

Shorts on my YouTube channel?

03:00 0 Comments


 Hi guys,

Recently I’ve been uploading shorts to my YouTube channel, as I’ve been having issues with my laptop which still aren’t resolved but I’m still able to edit some long form videos! 

In between my usual 2 videos a week, I’ve been uploading more shorts in case you prefer seeing reviews under 1 minute long.

I have a playlist called ‘shorts’ if you’d prefer to check those out. 

Let me know if you prefer watching short form or long form videos?

Enjoy,

Chloe xoxo

Chanel No 1 De Chanel Revitalising Foundation REVIEW

04:09 0 Comments


Hi guys,

Chanel have recently released their new skincare, makeup and fragrance line - No 1 De Chanel. 

This line is sustainable with their packaging and there being no leaflets - they have QR Codes on the boxes which has all information about the product you’ve purchased. They also contain the Red Camellia Flower with 5 anti-ageing benefits and 94% naturally derived ingredients. This is Chanel’s most natural product they’ve created - and it took them 10 years to create!

The foundation comes in 20 shades - which is less than a lot of their other foundations. Luckily, I was able to get my usual shade BD31. 

I did a first impression video on my YouTube channel above, where you can see me apply with both a brush and a sponge, I show you how it builds up and a 10 hour wear test! Subscribe to my YouTube channel here! 

Now onto the review.

The bottle contains the standard 30ml / 1 fl oz, and the packaging is frosted glass with a plastic lid with the Chanel logo. 

The packaging felt very lightweight compared to others like the Les Beiges foundation where the glass packaging is pretty heavy. 

I was excited to test this out as it says that it’s suitable for sensitive skin - I have very sensitive acne prone skin so I always have to be careful about which products I use on my face. I was also a little dubious as it says that it’s suitable for all skin types - I have very oily skin so usually a product which can work for dry skin will not also work for me and my oils. 

I bought my usual shade - BD31 and the shade is exactly the same as my others in this shade. 


There’s not much of a scent to the foundation which I like, and it goes on very light. 


My skin with no foundation. You can see a lot of blemishes and redness. 


With one layer I get a sheer-light coverage, and I can build it up to light-medium. If you’re after a full coverage foundation, this is not for you. 


This won’t cover acne or blemishes, and it won’t fully cover redness but evens the redness out a little. If you want to cover those blemishes, you’ll need use a concealer as well. 



I use 2 layers of the foundation with a sponge, and it’s not the best at building up - you have to be very quick before it dries. 

 

2 layers of the foundation. 


But I do like the finish I get with this. It’s a little luminous, but also a little matte so looks quite natural - if you’re after a natural look then the Les Beiges foundation would be the one to go for. 


It lasts pretty well with my oily skin for 8 hours, and I don’t really need to blot, however it does come off a little on my forehead and on the side of my face so it’s not super long lasting. So, if I want it to look nice around this time then I just build up a little bit on these areas. 


The rest of my makeup glides on very easily and I actually prefer the way it looks with the extra products added as you can’t see the blotches. 

This did cling to my dry patches, so probably wouldn’t suit very dry skin.


I did have a little bit of itchiness under my nostril and on the side on my face when using this, but it’s only happened twice out of the past month I’ve been wearing it.


Overall, I like this foundation but I’m not in love with it. I prefer my Chanel Ultra Le Teint Velvet and Les Beiges foundations more than this. 

It’s probably because I’m quite picky with my foundations as they have to not break me out, control my oils and look quite natural on the skin. 

I wouldn’t repurchase it but if you’re on the fence, I’d say try it out! 


I’d give this 3/5 stars. It’s not the best foundation, but it’s not the worst I’ve tried. Out of the ones I’ve tested from Chanel, this is the lowest ranking. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Drugstore Vs High End - £10/$14 vs £18/$24 FULL COVERAGE CONCEALER!

08:00 0 Comments


Hi Guys,

In today's video, I tested out 2 full coverage concealers which have exactly the same promises - one is a brand new product, and the other is a cult classic and holy grail product of mine.

In this video, I pitted the cult Mac Pro Longwear Concealer against the new EX1 Fluide Delete Concealer. I had never tested out the EX1 concealer before, so this was my complete first impression.

I have loved the Mac concealer for years, and have been constantly repurchasing it, as it's medium-full coverage, doesn't look caked and looks very natural on the skin. It stays put all day, and I have never had an occasion where it's budged from anywhere I have placed it. This concealer paired with the Estee Lauder Double Wear are the perfect combination for bulletproof and waterproof makeup. You will look the same from when you first apply it, until after 20 hours of wear! It is literally perfection!

The EX1 Fluide Delete Concealer is a new product which they've just launched, and it's had so much buzz in the celebrity world, as well as in magazines and on instagram. I deliberately made sure to not see any reviews of this concealer, as I didn't want it to influence my first impression, as I was completely unaware how it would blend or cover. I've been a big fan of EX1 for a while now, so I was very excited to see that they had just released a brand new product. The fact that it promises it to be full coverage without looking cakey, was something that really drew me to it. Also, the fact that Margot Robbie is a huge fan, sort of swayed me to buy it as well! 😉

As I wanted to make sure that both shade were the same shade or incredibly similar, I wasn't too sure which shade I needed to buy. The shade names are the same as the foundation, so it's easy to find which shade you would be if you were spot concealing, and they recommend going a shade lighter to highlight. I originally purchased the shades 4.0 and 3.0, as I'm usually 4.0 or 5.0 in the foundation. After swatching these on my arm next to the bottle of my MAC Concealer, I knew that they were way too dark to match, so went ahead and purchased 2.0 in the hopes that it wasn't going to be too light.
And, as it turned out, 2.0 was the perfect shade!



Both concealers have a warm undertone, so I thought that they would practically be the same shade. I was wrong because EX1 are for olive skin tones, and there's a bit of a difference in the undertones from warm and olive - sometimes warm, can come across as orange or red, and olives are strictly brown-yellow.

The shades that I used in this video are NC20 (MAC) and 2.0 (EX1) and they were a great match! Even though they're incredibly close in shade, the undertone of the Mac concealer is pretty pink, and I've always thought of it as quite yellow/neutral.

To see my first impression and my full comparison between both concealers, check out the video above.

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo
