Products I Regret Buying!

11:10 0 Comments


Hi Guys,
As I am a Youtube and studying to be a Makeup Artist, I have been searching for some great hair and beauty products! 

I do have a couple of holy grail products which I swear by and 1 million percent recommend to every single one of you. 

I try out new products and most raved about products on the internet, and some end up being not all they live up to be. Here, I have a couple of products which I really didn't like, and I hated them so much that I didn't use them up (and I probably won't either). 

Some of these products were raved about on youtube, where people were comparing them got high-end dupes, and they just didn't live up to the hype.

Now, because they haven't worked for me, doesn't mean that your opinion is wrong if it worked for you - everything works differently for everyone - it's just my own opinion :)

If there are any product which you have tried out that you really don't like, let me know.

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

All Pink Summer Makeup Tutorial!

04:46 0 Comments


Hi Guys,

It's officially summer, and I thought I would show you a tutorial on the make-up you have been seeing me wear in my videos for the last couple of weeks.

Theres shimmer on the eyes, lips and face, as well as Pink everywhere too!

The eye look is created with my Makeup revolution Iconic 3 Palette, which I absolutely love - and is also a dupe for the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette. This is also the first tutorial I have done where I am not using false eyelashes. the reason for this, is because I don't usually wear them anymore since I have recently discovered my FAVOURITE Mascara - the Benefit Roller Lash!

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

My Perfect Nude Lip...

11:08 0 Comments
      


Hi guys,
If you have been watching some of my recent videos (from the last couple of months), you would have seen that the majority of the time, I have been sporting a Nude Lip.

I am slightly obsessed with the Nude Lips now, as I like to wear bold eyes with lashes, and I feel that a nude lip compliments it very well. 

It's taken me a very long time to be able to find the 'perfect' Nude Lip for my skin tone - in Autumn and Winter I'm Porcelain; and am tanned in Spring and Summer. Even when I am tanned, I am still pale (I go up to an N3 in Loreal True Match), so I wanted to find the best shade which compliments both skin tones. 

I have come to find that for us Pale Skin Girlies, we suit a nude shade best when it has a hint of pink to it. And I have found my Perfect Nude Lip products!

Ever since the whole 'Kylie Jenner Lip' thing came out last year, I had wanted to try one of the shades which she uses - Mac Velvet Teddy - but I didn't really want to pay £15 for it, so went on a little scavenger hunt to find something similar. So I went on a little scavenger hunt, and managed to find a shade which is almost identical, but has a smidge more pink to it, and I love it more than Velvet Teddy!


The lip products which I am talking about, are super affordable and are amazing! These are the Rimmel Kate Moss Lipstick in shade 03, and the Essence Lip Liner in 11 - In The Nude.

These products retail for £5.99 for the lipstick, and only £1 for the lipliner. 

The lipstick has a gorgeous scent - smells a little like fruits and chocolate - and the colour it gives off is a super pigmented pinky nude shade. I absolutely love this look, and it goes with every colour of makeup I am wearing.

Whilst wearing this lip combo, I have had so many compliments and so many people asking me which shade I am wearing, and they can't believe that it's so affordable! It also lasts a good few hours on my lips, even with drinking and eating, which I love even more.

So for all of you fair skinned and lightly tanned girlies, this would be an amazing nude lip combo, which will compliment your skin amazingly!

I also have a makeup tutorial using these lip products for you.

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

Hi guys,
If you have recently been watching my channel, you will know that I have uploaded a new Makeup revolution Haul this week.

Redemption Palette Iconic 3 

This palette contains 12 shades in rose gold, gold and brown shades. I have seen so many blog posts comparing this to the Urban Decay Naked 3 Palette, and I have to say that it is pretty much identical. 

As you can see from the swatches, the matte shades are not as pigmented as the shimmer shades, but they are all super beautiful and buttery, and they blend like a dream.







Shades 1-6 with no Primer

Shades 7-12 with no Primer



I Heart Chocolate Palette

This palette contains 16 shades - 5 Matte and 11 Shimmer. I have seen many people comparing this to the Too Faced Chocolate Bar palette, and I have to say that the similarity is uncanny. They literally look exactly the same! 

From the swatches, you can see that, again, the matte shades aren't as pigmented as the shimmer shades, but they still are so beautiful. The blend amazingly, and the pigmentation is literally incredible.

The packaging is amazing, and you can tell that they have put so much thought into it. It makes it stand out so much more than any of the other palettes I have. It literally looks like a melting bar of chocolate, and has a light chocolate scent to it to...Yum! 

This is probably my favourite palette from Makeup Revolution that I own. Love, Love, Love!










Top Row Swatches: (L-R) You Need Love; Piece Me Together; One More Piece; 
Love Torn; Stolen Chocolate 


Middle Row Swatches: (L-R) Thank Friday; More!; Pleasure Girl; Meet Chocolate; 
Unforgivable; Love Divine 


Bottom Row Swatches: (L-R) Smooth Criminal; Love Chocolate; You Need More; 
What A Way To Go; Endorphins Ready


Highlighter Palette - Radiance 

This is a palette containing Makeup Revolution 3 Best Selling Highlighters - Breathe, Exhale & Glow.

All of these highlighters are warm toned highlighters, so are great for summer and for all skin tones.

I have seen many videos and blog posts comparing this palette to the Hourglass Ambient Lighing Palette. I don't agree with this fully, as the Hourglass palette has a two shades which are more pink toned. But both palettes look very similar with their shimmer and texture. 

Exhale is the shade which I believe is best suited for pale skin tones - as it is the least warm toned shade, and is very pale.

Breathe and Glow are perfect if you have tanned skin, a these will enhance your glow, without making you look orange. 

I love that these shades are pigmented and shiny - not glittery. This is great, as you will not look like a disco ball if you over do the highlight, as it is pretty hard to build up too much product.

My Skin Secrets: Super Soft & Smooth Lips!

11:26 0 Comments
Hi Guys,
I know it's been a while since I have done one of my Skin Secrets posts, but I've just been super busy! I have chosen this week to show you one of my favourite products I can not live without! 

If you watch my youtube videos, you will know exactly which product I am about to talk about, to create my super soft lips.



The product which I am talking about is the Carmex Lip Balm Tubes. These retail for only £1.65!

Not only are these lip balms the best I have tried - plus my holy grail lip balm - they are also super affordable and smell absolutely stunning! 

For the past year, I have been using the Cherry flavour, but wanted to change it up a little, once the smell was getting a little too strong for me, so I decided to try the Strawberry. When I had first started using the Strawberry, I was a little unsure about if it was making my lips feel as soft, as my lips weren't tingling  - which is what they did with the Cherry version. 

But, since I have been using the Strawberry for the past month, I have to say that this is by far my favourite out of the bunch! 

A great thing about this lip balm is that it contains SPF15! So, even whilst it is super hot outside, your lips will not burn or crack, and you don't need to pop an SPF lip balm or suncream on your lips, as this lip balm has it covered.

Another great aspect of this product, is that you can really feel and see it working. Once I have applied the lip balm, I can smell it straight away - which I love - and it gradually starts to tingle. It's not to the point where it feel like a burning sensation, or like plumping lip gloss - remember those days?. But it feels sort of like a relaxing sensation. Am I strange? 

The thing which made me realise that it was absolutely perfect, was that it is the only lip balm I have used, which can keep up with my chapped lips. If my lips are severely chapped, I just pop this baby on several times a day, and within 2 days, I literally have no dry skin left! My lips get to the point of going numb and feeling as though I have granules of sugar in my lips because of how dry they are, and this literally makes them feel 'baby smooth'.

I did try another lip balm last year, as I purchased quite a few EOS balms as there was a giant hype going around youtube and with celebrities at the time, I decided to stop using Carmex, and switch over to EOS. Big Mistake! They dried out my lips more, and my lips were super numb after a couple of days. Thank goodness I had my Carmex on hand, because they changed my lips back to normal within a couple of days.

So, if you suffer with super chapped lips, or love fragranced lip balms, I would definitely suggest that you try Carmex out! They are super affordable, and are the best around!

Makeup Revolution Mermaids Forever Palette Swatches!

12:20 0 Comments


Hi guys,
If you have seen my recent Haul (below), you will know that I purchased some items from makeup Revolution - plus other brands. 

One of the products which I purchased is a Brand NEW eyeshadow palette from Makeup Revolution - Mermaids Forever. Now, if you have seen my videos, you will know that I am obsessed with Mermaids - The Little Mermaid is my favourite Disney movie, and Ariel is my favourite Disney Princess.


So I literally couldn't wait to get my hands on this gorgeous palette, and I have to tell you that I am not disappointed! The colours are gorgeous, and go well with the theme of Mermaid and the Sea. There are 32 shades in this palette, with all of them being Shimmer shades (although I do believe that I can see some shades which are almost matte). 

The shades go in a gradient, with the lightest shades being on the left side of the palette, and the darkest on the right side. 

My favourite shades from this palette have to be Sea, Ariel, Ocean and Waves. The colours are just so pigmented, incredibly shimmery, and just plain gorgeous.

The outside packaging is gorgeous, and shows off the 'Sea' theme very well. It makes me extremely excited, even before you see the palette! The casing, is just like any normal eyeshadow palette from Makeup Revolution, but slightly larger than the standard Iconic Pro palette.

To show you how great these shadows are, and how highly pigmented they are, I have done swatches of every shade. As you can see, the 'matte' shades are not as pigmented as the rest, but all photos are done without a primer. 

I'm very excited to start playing around with these shadows and to create some amazing looks for you!

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo
