Chloé Love Story Perfume Review

I will be the first person to admit it, I probably have far to many perfumes. At least more than the average person should anyway. It's not that I'm constantly spending money on fragrances, but my collection has really built up year on year and it seems as though very little of the product is ever actually used...I even upped the amount of sprits I apply on a daily basis, but no, they don't seem to go anywhere! 

Regardless, this past year or so I've become much more obsessed with high-end fragrances. Whilst I only have two full-size high-end fragrances and a couple of minis, (the vast amount of my collection being built up of fragrances from those celebrities who I used to obsess over...), I only want more! There's something special about having a high-end fragrance; the packaging is generally of a better quality and a beauty to look at, and they always make me feel more sophisticated, always beneficial for a big kid like me. And my favourite right now you make ask? Well that's the Chloé Love Story perfume!

Birchbox Review | My First Box

I've always been intrigued by the idea of beauty subscription boxes. You know, you pay a specified amount each month to have a box delivered to your door, filled with a selection of products. And whilst I've been yearning for one for the longest time, I've never taken the plunge and signed up for one. I contemplate far too much as to whether I will actually like the contents in the box and use each and every one of them, so I've been quite unsure if they'll actually be worth the money.

With that said, lets rewind back a few weeks ago. I was scrolling through Facebook when I saw an ad for Birchbox (darn ads...you got me again). I noticed that each box they were offering for December (which is unfortunately unavailable) came with a full size Ciate eyeliner priced at £15, and when the box itself costs £10 (plus £2.95 postage) it seemed like an absolute steal. I'm always one for trying new products and don't particularly like spending tons on higher-end ones that I may be unsure about. 

Budget Vs Splurge | Battle Of The Eyeshadow Primers

Since I got the Urban Decay eyeshadow primer last year, I have easily become obsessed with the stuff. I honestly have no idea how I lived so long without primer in my life...this stuff is magic! When I was recently on holiday in the US I soon came across an e.l.f. stand, and having heard some positive things about their products, I knew that I wanted to pick up some for myself. One thing in particular that stood out was their Shadow Lock eyeshadow primer; something I'd heard many people raving about, and at only $1 I had nothing to lose!

 

Since they have a similar nude, creamy formula, I wanted to see how it actually compared to the Urban Decay eyeshadow primer? If I end up liking this, maybe it could replace my much more expensive obsession!

 

Battle of the Liquid Lipsticks

Over the last few years it's safe to say that makeup brands have branched out from the usual lipsticks and lip glosses into many other alternatives such as lip crayons and lip laquers. Over I'd say the past year, something that I've seen many more brands releasing are their own "liquid lipsticks", and being the lip product obsessed girl I am, I obviously knew I had to try some. Two that most certainly caught my attention were the L'Oreal L'Extraordinaire liquid lipsticks and the Maybelline Colorsensational Elixir's, which are also marketed as liquid lipsticks too!

The Glam Guide / First Impressions & Review

With Fleur De Force being one of the most successful beauty and fashion bloggers/YouTuber's, it seemed inevitable that someday she would come out with her own book. Well now it has finally happened. I'm sure you all keep up to date with Fleur on a regular basis and have been anticipating the release of her new book, so today I thought I would share with you my first impressions and thoughts on The Glam Guide.

Review // Faith in Nature Shampoo & Conditioner

For the longest time, I have been struggling a lot with the condition of my hair - I have a lot of it, and keeping it healthy is a struggle. I personally have quite normal hair, however my roots tend to get quite oily, and the only product which seems to work for me is a shampoo and conditioner which costs in the region of about £25! Now I honestly can't be spending this much on these products, and whilst it does offer some support with my greasy hair, I'm always on the lookout for new products that can do the job, at a much more purse friendly price. This is where Faith in Nature comes in.

Why I Don't Like Covergirl's Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation / The 12 Days of Blogmas #10

 

As someone who would, after this past year consider themselves as a makeup junkie, when I hear fantastic reviews about a certain product, I jump at the chance to buy it and I was certainly very excited to get my hands on this! In this case I'd heard a lot of great things about the Covergirl Outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation or if you're from the UK, I'm pretty sure it's exactly the same as the Max Factor Facefinity Foundation. I purchased this product in the September when on holiday in Florida, and now feel that I've had substantial time to gain a good enough view of this foundation to give an honest opinion.

The Perfect Christmas Lip / The 12 Days of Blogmas #3

As the special day is coming ever so near, it's time to start thinking about one of those beauty essentials...a red lip! I personally don't own many red lip products (I've been buying a lot more neutral products recently), but I had a little look at all of my makeup and found these 4 hidden in my collection, so I'll be telling you what I think of each and every one of them. The thing I love about all of these is that they're all super affordable, ranging in price from £1 to £7.99, meaning there's definitely something for every budget.

 

My Love! Michael Kors Large Selma Tote

 

I bought my very first designer bag and I'm oh so excited to tell you all about it!!

I'm sure you've seen this bag before, regularly popping up on blogs, fashion Instagram's and  occasionally YouTube videos!

So meet Selma, my brand new spanking Michael Kors bag; and yes, I call her Selma on a regular basis. This is my very first designer bag and I'm extremely happy to now have this in my collection, especially as I paid for it 100% on my own!

Review // Is The Baby Skin Primer Any Good??

 If you've seen my most recent haul (which was all the way back in April), you may have seen that I picked up the Baby Skin Instant Pore Eraser Primer from Maybelline. I'd been wanting to try it since it was released and after seeing mixed reviews from different blogs I wasn't 100% sure whether to purchase it or not, but I eventually grabbed it after a recent 2-for-1 deal at Boots.

 



This may be somewhat different to any reviews you've previously seen on this product as I've noticed that a lot of people reviewing this primer have been comparing it to Benefit's POREfessional, but as this happens to be the first primer I've ever tried, this review will in no way be compared to any others out there and for anyone who's never tried a primer before, this review may be in some way more useful to you!

Review // Maybelline's Better Skin Foundation

 

So looking at this photo you may be wondering why I have a tester instead of a normal bottle of foundation. I didn't steal it from the store just in case you were wondering; I have this because recently Maybelline were giving away free samples of their new foundation online. So because I'd been wanting to try this for a while, I took this as a chance to test it out and see if I should actually buy the full size. And I'm so glad I did because I hate it!!

Review // Seventeen Pwhoarr Paint Under Eye Concealer!!

Recently whilst out shopping, I decided that I needed a new under eye concealer, as my current one just didn't seem to do the job as well as I wanted it to. After seeing so many people raving about the Seventeen Phwoarr Paint I decided to take advantage of the Boots 3-for-2 deal and buy this concealer. I picked up this concealer in the shade Fair and have been using it everyday for almost 2 weeks now, so I feel that I can give a good honest view for any of you looking to purchase a new concealer!

 

Review: Max Factor False Lash Effect Mascara!

Hello Lovelies,

 

Today I felt like doing a review on the Max Factor False Lash Effect mascara's. I know that these have actually been out for a while but I've only just gotten them in the last month or two. I have two of these mascaras, the black waterproof and black brown (non-waterproof).
Want to know what I think?? Then carry on reading...

Review: Revlon Matte & Lacquer Balms

Hello everyone!

 

As you may have seen in my recent haul, I picked up two of the Revlon Matte & Lacquer Balms, simply because I'd heard great things about these and I love the Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stains so thought why not give these a go! I thought I'd try them each a few times before I posted a review on them so carry on reading if you want to see what I thought...
