My Top 10 Most Used Makeup of 2016 So Far!

5:00 PM

I have tried out so many makeup products this year so far. I have had a lot sent to me for review, which means I have fallen in love with so many new products. I am going to share today my top 10 most reached for products so far. These all live in my daily makeup bag, and I honestly don't have anything bad to say about them! They are all amazing and I would highly recommend them all! I have reviews for most of these things because they are all things that I love, so I have shared them with you, but this is just a short summary of each!

MAYBELLINE PUSH UP DRAMA MASCARA / REVIEW

This is such a good mascara. It adds volume, length and holds a curl perfectly! I love this, and have been using it almost every single day! A beauty must have!

*THE BALM MARY-LOU MANIZER / REVIEW

This. Is. Gorgeous. I cannot explain to you how pretty this is! I was wanting to try this for so long, and was going to buy it myself, but when it arrived as a PR package, I was over the moon! Such a pretty, champagne highlight that can be sheer or intense!

*INSTANT EFFECTS INSTANT LIPS / REVIEW

This is another one of those products that I would have bought myself, and probably will when I run out. It hydrates the lips while seriously plumping them up! I love this, and think it is a must have staple for everyone to try out!

KYLIE LIP KIT 'CANDY K' / REVIEW

I have two lip kits, but this is by far my favourite. It is a brown toned nude, and it lasts all day long! It does slightly dry out your lips, but nothing too intense, its gorgeous! It is a little harder to get a hold of, but totally it!

CLARINS EVERLASTING FOUNDATION / REVIEW

Full coverage, long lasting, and lightweight on your skin. It doesn't get oily, and it doesn't break me out! Its basically all I want in a foundation, and if I am wearing a full coverage foundation, it is most likely this! I love it!

BENEFIT HOOLA BRONZER

The perfect contour for so many skin tones. It is cool tone, super blend-able and not too dark. I adore this, and it has been my go to for years!

BARE MINERALS ALL OVER FACE COLOUR 'WARMTH'

Literally, this works for so many different purposes! It is a beautiful bronzing shade, which works with even darker skin tones, and it is amazing for eye shadow. My go to look includes this as my only crease shade. It isn't too warm toned, but it isn't a cool tone. It is so quick, and blends like a dream!

BARE MINERALS LOOSE SHADOW 'FANCY'

I love this stuff! It is a mineral shadow, so it is loose, but when you dampen your brush, this applies so beautifully to your eyes. It blends really easily, and can be used wet or dry! It is such a great colour for blue eyes, and really brightens and brings a little colour to your face. It even works as a light highlight on the tops of the cheekbones!

URBAN DECAY NAKED SKIN CONCEALER / REVIEW

This is the best concealer in the world for the under eyes. They actually have a shade light enough for me to highlight with! Its lightweight, doesn't crease but still super full coverage!

Talk soon!

♡ Summer Lips | Chloe, xo ♡

5:00 PM

If you have been reading this blog for a while, the you will know that I share different makeup colours and trends for each season. I love sharing my recommendations for makeup, wether it is foundation or lips, I share it all! Now, I know that not all of these are going to be up your street, but this is just what I think of when I think of summer lips!

KYLIE COSMETICS 'KOKO K'

This is such a pretty, pale pink shade. It isn't too pink, so it is very wearable for most people. It stays on all day long, and it adds a soft pop of colour to your look, without being too much! I love this products so much!

TANYA BURR SOFT LUXE MATTE LIP 'MARHA MOO' // my review post

This has recently became my favourite liquid lipstick. It is such a pretty pink, but if your scared to wear too bright of a pink, this is perfect as it has a subtle brown tone to it. It is wearable, but a perfect, soft colour for the summer time, which goes beautifully with bronzed and glowing makeup.

BENEFIT ULTRA PLUSH LIP GLOSS 'LOLLIBOP'

This was my first ever high end lip gloss. I still love it so much! It is the perfect summer pink. Its bright, and ultra glossy. It is the perfect pop of colour for any look! It is also very lightweight and easy to reapply throughout the day!

TOPSHOP LIPS 'FREAK'

This is gorgeous. It is the perfect orange lipstick. It looks great with a tan, and is very bright, so it is perfect for us girls who love a brighter lip.

TOPSHOP LIPS 'WATERMELON'

This is the perfect red for the summer time. It is a very cool toned red, which kind of makes it come across as a pink shade. I think it is bright, and perfect for anyone who loves to wear a red lip, even in the summer time! Also, it looks great with a tan!

BARE MINERALS POP OF PASSION 'PLUMBERRY POP'

This is a really pretty, plum shade. It is very bright, and stays on all day! It nourishes the lips, and also looks very glossy on your lips. It is a little darker than the rest of the options I have talked about, so it is a perfect summer time option for more dramatic looks.

YSL ROUGE VOLUPTE '8'

I adore this one. It is the perfect pale pink. It is a true pale pink. Not nude, not brown toned, just a perfect girly pink which goes with almost every makeup look!

♡ GLOWING Summer Skin // Natural Healthy Glow | Chloe, xo ♡

5:00 PM

I have to admit, about a year ago, I hated dewy or glowy makeup. I thought it made me look oily and sweaty, and just gross. Although, one year later, sitting writing this, my opinions have clearly changed dramatically changed. I LOVE glowy/dewy skin. The more highlight the better! I think it looks so healthy and youthful! I just needed to find the right products that work for me, and play around with different techniques to prevent me from looking oily in my t zone!

STEP ONE: PRIMER WITH SPF

SPF is obviously vital in the summer! I never go a day without wearing SPF, not even in the Winter! Bare Minerals BB Prime Time has a great SPF of 30. This will make your skin super smooth and prepped for makeup, but will also have a huge benefit on your skin in the long run too!

STEP TWO: BB CREAM OR TINTED MOISTURISER

This is the best thing to opt for in the summer time. The hot weather can cause our makeup to slip around and kind of slide of your face! I hate wearing heavy foundations, I feel like my skin can't breath! I love the Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue, it is light and super glowy, but is build ale so you can build the coverage that you want personally!

STEP THREE: LIGHTWEIGHT CONCEALER

Illuminating concealers like the YSL concealer pen or the Maybelline ones. These can be great to add a little more coverage under the eyes, but also add more luminosity to the areas that you want to create a more dewy effect! Just be careful not to apply this on blemishes!

STEP FOUR: CREAM/LIQUID BRONZER

I am obsessed with the liquid Hoola bronzer by Benefit. It is quick and easy and gives your skin such a natural and sunkissed glow without the shimmer! It's matte, so you can also double it up as a contour!

STEP FIVE: CREAM BLUSH

Cream or liquid blush is my favourite in the summer time! It melts into the skin and just looks so natural and glowy. It really does give a blushed from within appearance, without looking cakey or powdery! Right now, I'm loving the Topshop Cream Blushes!

STEP SIX: POWDER optional

If your oily like me, add a little bit of powder to the T Zone just to keep you from looking oily or greasy throughout the day!

STEP SEVEN: HIGHLIGHTER

A glowy skin makeup look would not be complete without highlighter! I'm in love with these *Makeup Revolution Vivid Baked Highlights. They are gorgeous on the skin and give such an intense highlight, which I love! They don't sit like a powder on the skin, and are super glowy when the light hits you! They do have shimmer, but it's so flattering on the skin, and really give a polished and healthy look to any makeup look!
