Christmas In London!!!

07:00 0 Comments


Hi Guys,

Just before Christmas, me and Neil decided to go on a little day trip to London. We;ve always wanted to go during Christmas, as they have all of the decorations, and Winter Wonderland - which I've always wanted to go to.

For this trip, we didn't really have a specific schedule of where we were going and what time, but we knew that we wanted to get the most out our day, and to see or do things we haven't seen before. See video above.

The first stop, the Natural History Museum. We've been here once before, but we didn't really get around to seeing much, as they closed off some the exhibitions as they were replacing them with new things. This time, we took our time, managed to see a lot more things, and we finally went up the giant escalator to Space!
Also, because it was Christmas, they have an iceskating rink outside of the museum, which looked like a lot of fun. We decided not to do this, as I'm going to Florida next month, and because I'm such an accident prone person, I thought I'd fall over and break my arm...again!

For our lunch, we ended over to Chinatown to our favourite place to eat - Superstar. The food is simply delicious, and well priced and they're so nice in there!
If you're headed to Chinatown, definitely go to Superstar!

Our ;last stop of the day was Winter Wonderland. I've seen this all over Instagram, as most celebrities were invited to it before openings and it looked amazing.
I just assumed that it would be a small fair with a little German Market. Boy was I wrong.
Once we got in - after 30 minutes of waiting - we headed straight for the ticket booth and went to buy our tickets. When we mentioned that we wanted the tickets for about 15 minutes time, she said that they can only do it an hour in advance, because it takes so long to get there.
It actually took us 25 minutes to find the attraction we were looking for, and it really wasn't easy to find!

The attraction we went into at Winter Wonderland was the Ice Kingdom.
This was an incredible attraction, as everything was carved out of ice and snow. They had sea creatures, submarines, mermaids and mermen, a giant ice kingdom with merman infant where you could climb and so much more. The temperature was -10 degrees Celsius so it was bloody freezing, but it was amazing!

This trip to London was incredible, and I'll always remember it! If you go to London duringChristmas, I recommend you checking out everything in this vlog!

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

What I Got For Christmas 2017!

01:18 0 Comments


Hi Guys,

Every year, I always do one of these videos on my Youtube Channel, because I LOVE watching these, and I know that some of you love watching these types of videos too! (I'm very nosey)

As a followup to my Christmas Wishlist (here), I do this video so that you can see which items - if any - I receive from my Wishlist. Also, you can see everything that I receive from friends and family for Christmas.

I must warn you, this year there is so much chocolate!!! Which I'm not complaining about because I love chocolate!

I'm thankful for everything that I receive at Christmas, as I know that everyone has put thought into my present. Christmas is my favourite time of the year, and I both love and hate trying to decide what to buy people every year.

Also this year, I bought myself a little something, like I do every year, and you will see it in this video. I'm so excited to start using it, and I waited such a long time for it to come back in stock!

This year, I was pretty good with buying presents and was ahead of the game. I bought both of my sisters' presents in July so I got a great early start, and all of them apart from 1 were bought in November. I always seem to never have money in December, so this was a great plan!

To see what I got for Christmas, check out the video above.

Also, we're incredibly close to 5,000 subscribers (less than 200 away), so keep subscribing and sharing, and there will be a new giveaway at this milestone!

Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo

OOTD #13 - Christmas Eve!

13:08 0 Comments
Hi Guys,

On Christmas Eve, me and Neil decided to go out for a drink for a couple of hours.

We wanted to take in the Christmas atmosphere and go somewhere to relax, just us two, so we decided to go to The Belfry. It's an amazing Hotel and Golf Resort, where he is also a member, so we thought that this was the best place to go, as it's always relaxing, and it's lovely to see other families go there together.

They played Christmas songs on the entire time, and they were getting ready for a singer and a jazz band to come on later in the evening - which we missed because they came on very late!
It was amazing to see everyone there with their families, having fun, getting together, and it just felt extra special.

I love Christmas - it's my favourite time of the year - and this Christmas Eve was amazing!

I wanted to dress my outfit up a little, as we were going some place nice, but I didn't want it to be too dressy. These boots are the perfect item to take my outfit from day to night. I bought them a few years ago for Forever 21, and I always love wearing them.

I enjoyed this outfit so much, that I actually wore it to our Boxing Day meal too, but just changed the top to the same top but in a darker colour.

I hope you all had a beautiful Christmas, New Year, and had an amazing holiday!





What I'm Wearing:
Top: Hollister
Boots: Forever 21
Jeans: Next (here)
Belt: River Island (here)
Watch: Michael Kors (here)
Bag: Michael Kors (here)

Enjoy,

My Christmas Wishlist 2017!

01:13 0 Comments

My Christmas Wishlist

Every year, I always get asked what I would like for Christmas, and I always say the same thing - 'I don't know'. 
Every year, I find it so hard to actually find anything that I'd like. This is mainly because if I need something, I'll just go ahead and buy it myself. 
This year, I actually managed to find four things that I's like for Christmas, and one of them is basically just a 'filler' present. For instance, I do really like this present, but I've pretty much got something very similar to the point where I don't really need them. 

Here's the only four things which are on my Wishlist. Of course, if I don't get these for Christmas, I'll be extremely grateful for anything I receive. It's just a fun little thing I put together (which I do every year), so I can let you all know what I've been lusting over. 

Smashbox Sculpting Cheek Palette

I saw this when I went into Boots last weekend with my Mum. I was looking for something for Neil, and happened to go across the Smashbox Counter and this drew my eye straight away. 
I love anything to do with highlight and blush, and I feel like I really need to try out some more of them, and get myself out of the rut with using the same two products - Mac Springsheen Blush, and TheBalm's Mary-Lou Manizer. Don't get me wrong, these are my favourite, but I feel like I just need to experiment more with different products. 
Also, this palette is travel friendly, so I could put it to some great use on holiday in February!

Adidas Superstar Shoes in Black & Gold

These trainers, I have been loving over the last month or so. I never really thought I'd be a trainers person - I usually just stick to my white converse which I wear pretty much every day. 
I've been really loving the Gucci Trainers, but I wouldn't spend £500 on a pair of trainers - they're waaaay out of my budget and they're just too much! So, I watched a video a little while ago from Shea Whitney, who mentioned that she wasn't sure if she was going to buy the Gucci Trainers and found these as a great alternative. Since that video, I've been loving the trainers, but I do think they're quite expensive. To me, £75 for shoes is quite expensive, but because I only have size 5.5 feet, I can get away with the Youth's sizes, which are only £45. I've been hinting this to my Mum, so hopefully she gets my hint. 😏

Coco Mademoiselle Eau De Parfum

I always manage to find one perfume which I'm loving every year, and I always give the task to buy it for me to Neil. He is my boyfriend after all, so he can spend a bit extra on me! hehe 
I'm never really someone who goes for expensive perfumes, as I usually just stick to my Britney Spears perfumes which always smell beautiful, and they're pretty cheap here. 
A few months ago, I was again in Boots with my Mum, when I was just browsing the Chanel and Dior perfume counters. I've never really been a fan of Chanel perfume before, as I feel like they just tend to smell a little old and overpowering on me. 
My mum sprayed the Chanel NO5 which she has loved for years, and I decided to spray the Coco Mademoiselle, and I was in love with the scent! It's one of the most beautiful scents I've smelt, and it's just perfect! It's floral, but not over powering, there's hints of sweetness, but not too much, and it smells fresh, but not too fresh. I usually hate anything to do with florals, as I like my sweet fragrances, but this is just AMAZING! 
It is very expensive, but it's stunning! 

UGG Bailey Bow Boots 

For the past few years, I've always told myself that I was going to buy some real UGG Boots. As you all know, they're pretty pricey boots - these ones are around £130!
I've bought myself a couple of pairs from Costco which have been such good quality, and only cost me around £20, and I believe they're made from the same materials too. 
However, I've been loving these for at least 2 years, and I've always said to myself, 'As soon as it gets to winter, you'll buy yourself a pair of those', and it never seems to happen. 
The good news is, I also get student discount so I'll say money on them, but it's just quite a big chunk of money for around Christmas time.
I don't necessarily need these, as I already have my Costco Uggs which are great, but they're a little thing I'd like to get one day. 

Obviously, if I don't receive any of these for Christmas, I will be super grateful with anything I have. Christmas is my favourite time of the year, and it's the time for giving back. 
I'm not someone who only wants specific thing, as I love anything that anyone gets me because I know they've put thought into it! 😀

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

Chloe xoxo

CHRISTMAS MAKEUP!!!

03:06 0 Comments


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

THE BIGGEST LASHES EVER?! Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara First Impression

03:00 0 Comments


I tested out the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara for a review on my channel in a new First Impression. (video above) 
Because this mascara promised thick, full lashes with false lash effect, I decided to compare this to my Holy Grail Covergirl The Supersizer Mascara. I love the Covergirl mascara because it gives me lashes that I wish I had - thick, long and separated - and it's super affordable! 

This mascara promises dramatic Volume, Longer Lashes and a Dramatic Look with only one coat! Looking at the photo on the front of the packaging, it also seems to show that you will have a false lash effect. 
I used this mascara for the whole day (over 10 hours) so I could see how this mascara held up, and I feel like I have mixed feeling about this.


This product is a bit controversial, as I've seen so many reviews where someone either loves it or hates it! I know that I'd probably be on either end of the spectrum, which made me more excited to test it out and give my overall opinion. 




I like the way that this mascara makes my lashes look - thick and full with a false lash effect. During the 10 hours of wear, it didn't smudge or break off, and my lashes held their curl. 

Saying this, I had to use 3 coats of this for my lashes to actually look any good! With all mascaras, I don't do 3 coats as the most I do is 2. After 3 coats, the mascara can start to make he lashes look clumpy and spidery, and it just doesn't look that good at all. With this, it really didn't look clumpy, and it did almost the same as what it showed on the packaging - beautiful full lashes. 

I would have liked it to give me title more volume - as I usually get more volume from my $5 Covergirl mascara, but it did look nice during the day. 


I found the wand to be way too big! I couldn't really do my bottoms lashes with the wand because of how big it is, and it just ends up getting messy! If I was to use this everyday, I'd probably; end to use a different mascara for the lower lashes. 


Would I spend £19/$23 on this mascara? I don't think I would. I think because I know that my Holy Grail mascara gives me the same amount of volume, separates my lashes more and is super affordable, I think I actually prefer that one - plus, it's a quarter of the price, so you wouldn't be breaking the bank by repurchasing it! 
Also, as you need to use 3 coats of this to give you the effect it promises, I don't think the bottle would last that long, as you need to use a lot of iron each lash. 

I've been testing this mascara out for the past week to see if In can make up my mind, and I do really like it, but I'm still not sure if I prefer my Covergirl mascara over this. 

Pros:
Holds the curl all day.
Makes my lashes super log, full and thick. 
Doesn't clump.
Doesn't flake. 
Good formula - not too dry or too wet. 
Nice packaging. 

Cons:
You need to use a lot of the product to get the look promised - 3 coats. 
Very expensive. 
Wand is too big. 
Very messy on the bottom lashes. 
Won't last very long, as you have to use a lot of the product. 


Enjoy,
Chloe xoxo
