Autumn Edit | Go To Makeup



I know that autumn is nearly over and we are finally getting ready for winter as Christmas is just round the corner. As the seasons change I don't really mix up my makeup that much the main things that change are the colours of the lipstick and blush I wear and I usually go for more of a matte base than glowy skin, I like to save that for spring/summer.

For the a matte base I have found a new primer which I have been loving! It is the Soap and Glory One Heck of A Blot primer I love the powder of this and I am so glad that the primer lives up to how good the powder is! I love using this under the Loreal Paris Infallible foundation, I love this foundation as it is really high coverage and it is also such a reasonable price. To conceal I have been using the Maybelline New Year Age Rewind I'm not a massive fan of the sponge applicator but I do love the product itself, it's a really nice coverage and it surely does erase my dark circles! To set that all in place I am still loving an old favourite of mine which is the Rimmel London Stay Matte powder I have loved this powder for years now, it just does such a good job of keeping everything in place and making sure my face stays matte!

I have discovered a new favourite eyeliner and I feel like I have finally found the perfect one (well for now I have) I have been loving the Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner for the past few weeks now! It is so easy to use and is so black and it does actually stay on ALL day without smudging which is just great! If you haven't tried this yet I recommend that you do! I like to keep things pretty simple on the eyes and just go for a winged eyeliner look with a bit of mascara I also like to blend some bronzer through my crease just to add a little more definition.

To add in some autumn tones into my makeup look I have been going for a darker lip, I have been loving the shade 430 from Loreal Paris its just a deep red which is matte so its great for this time of year!

Hope you enjoyed todays post and you should let me know what products you long for autumn/winter!

Autumn Fashion Favourites



I thought I'd share a few of my autumn fashion favourites. Autumn is one of my favourite seasons for fashion, I love big coats and checkered scarfs. So firstly I am going to talk about the lovely checkered scarf I got from New Look. I love added checkered scarfs to all black outfits as it adds a touch of colour to my outfit. I love wearing this scarf with a denim jacket or a long black jacket.

I have also been loving loafers this season. I got these ones from Topshop a few weeks ago and I have been loving them! (even though they kill my feet) They look so nice with a pair of high waisted jeans and a white shirt. Another pair of shoes I have been loving have been these black boots from Public Desire, now these are the comfiest pair of boots I have ever owned! I love how they add a little bit of heal and add a bit more than flats to the outfit. To tie up my outfit I have been loving my Kate Spade bag, I got this for my birthday in July and have been in love with it ever since! It's the Kate Spade Cedar Street Small Hayden and I added a cute pom pom from Topshop.

Hope you enjoyed today's post! Let me know what your fashion favourites are for autumn!

Homeware Wishlist | H&M



So I have recently moved house and want to change the decor in my room. I am planning on going on the colour scheme grey, pink and copper/gold. I have noticed that H&M has the nicest range called 'A Tough Of Blush' in at the moment and I want nearly everything from this range, so I thought I'd share some of my favourite products from the collection.

I really want to add a touch of colour to my bed my using decorative cushions. I love these three as they will add a bit more colour to the white or grey bedding I will be using. I love candles so I really want to get some lanterns to put some really tall candles in. I also love the glass candle dome it adds just a hint of gold and is so pretty! As I love candles I really want to get the candle on the bottom row as it also adds a hint of gold to my room!

I will make sure I do a room tour post once I've completely finish my room! Hope you enjoyed todays post!


Monthly Makeup Favourites | October 2015



It's that time of the month again where I share my makeup favourites with you all! There are a lot of products I have mentioned before featuring in this most so I'm just going to briefly share my favourites with you! The products included in this post are basically the products I've been using this month on an everyday basis.

I have been loving my MAC Pro Palette lately, I've been creating so many different looks by using this palette nearly everyday. My favourite shades have got to be naked lunch, satin taupe and omega! I have also found a new mascara and I love it! It's the Loreal Paris Feline, its great at separating the lashes and really lengthening them as well! I am also still loving the Toyshop Magic Line as well, although I've been using black eye shadow to line my lashes.

I have also been using the Barry M Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit as well, I have been using this nearly everyday and I love how easy it is to contour with! To highlight I have been loving the Benefit Watts Up highlighter, this is probably my all time favourite highlighter!

Hope you enjoyed todays post! Let me know what you have been loving this month!

Smash box Shape Matters Palette | Review




So I recently got the Smashbox Shape Master Palette and I have got to say I think this is one of my favourite palettes that I own. I was lucky enough to get this when it was half price on an introductory offer at Boots. I couldn't pass up on the deal. 
The palette includes 2 brow powders and a brow wax, I tend to use the light brow powder as it matches my brows better. I love the combination of the wax and powder as it helps the powder to stay in place all day!

The palette also includes a contour, bronzer, highlighter and glow powders. I love the shades of the contour and bronzer as they match my skin tone so well as they are pretty light. The texture of all four of these powders are so buttery and smooth I love the way they apply to the skin and blend beautifully. I am involve with the powder which is labeled 'glow' the picture doesn't pick up how beautiful it is but its such a nice champagne coloured highlighter. 

The palette also has nine eyeshadows which are all so pretty. I love this palette because you can do so many different looks with it! The shadows are so pigmented and so easy to blend and when I used it I didn't really get much fall out either. A double ended brush also came in the palette and its so good for blending out eyeshadow.

Thanks for reading todays post! See you in my next one..

I'm All About That Base | Foundation Routine




I thought I would share my foundation routine with you all today, as I have changed a few things. Starting off with my primer, I like to use a primer as it creates an even base for foundation. It also makes foundation last that little bit longer as well. My all time favourite primer is The Body Shop Insta Blur, this primer really does help to smooth out the skin before applying foundation. 

I have been using a new foundation lately which has also featured in my previous post, its the Loréal Paris Infallible 24H Matte Foundation. Lately my skin has been pretty oily so I was on the look out for a matte foundation and I came across this and thought I'd give it a try. I have it in the shade 11 / Vanilla and it's such a good match for my skin tone! The foundation gives a matte look to the skin but does that without looking like you have loads of foundation on. It isn't drying either which I usually find with matte foundations. The foundation also lasts a long time on the skin without being touched up, when touching up I only ever have to pop a bit of powder on around my T-zone. To apply my foundation I use the Real Techniques Buffing brush, I find that this buffs my foundation into my skin and gives a really smooth finish.

To conceal under my eyes I use the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in the shade Fair, this is a great affordable concealer which it pretty high coverage. When I want to conceal any other imperfections I tend to use the Mac Prolong Wear Concealer in the shade NW20. The Prolong Wear Concealer is one of my favourites as it is really high coverage and you only need a tiny amount. It is also really long wearing so it is great for long days and nights out! To blend in my concealer I usually use the Real Techniques Sponge, I spray it with a little bit of Fix+ from Mac and it helps blend my concealer in.

To set that all in place I use the Rimmel London Stay Matte powder. This has been a powder that I always have in my collection and I have only just started using it again! I love this powder as it keeps my foundation set in place and is also matte! To apply my powder I just use a big fluffy brush and use a patting motion to apply my powder as sometimes when you buff the powder in it can move the foundation. 

Thanks for reading todays post I hope you enjoyed it! I will see you in my next post..

Monthly Makeup Favourites | September 2015



This month I seem to have rediscovered loads of old favourites as I haven't really brought anything new this month. But I am going to start off talking about a new favourite of mine. I feel like I am the last blogger to try the Loreal Paris Infallible 24H Matte Foundation, I can now see why everyone was raving over this so much. For a drugstore foundation it has really good coverage and it actually stays matte. I have been using the an old favourite of mine which is the Rimmel London Stay Matte powder with it and these two products work great together! I do really want to try the primer that foes with the foundation as I love the foundation!

I have also rediscovered my love for my Chanel Powder blush in the shade Rose Initial, this is one of my favourite blushes I just hadn't used it in ages and started using it again a few weeks ago and I remembered how much I loved this blush! It's great for pale skin as it adds a touch of colour and a tiny bit of simmer.

Hope you all enjoyed today's post! What have you been loving this month? Let me know!

Makeup of the Day | One Direction Concert



So tonight I am off to see One Direction at the O2 Arena so I thought I'd share my makeup with you all! Make sure you are following me on Instagram (chloewrighttt) so you can see how my makeup turned out.

As always for primer I am using The Body Shop Insta Blur, I don't need to rave about this anymore than I have on previous posts but this primer just smooths everything out creating an even base for foundation. It also makes my foundation last a look longer and I don't have to touch up as much throughout the day. For foundation I am using an old favourite which is the Loréal Paris True Match Foundation, you can build this foundation up to a medium coverage very easily. To cover any imperfections and my dark circles I have used the Mac Prolong Wear Concealer, I love how full coverage this concealer is and it stays in place. To set everything in place I have used my favourite powder at the moment which is the Maybelline Fit Me Powder, this just sets everything in place and makes my make last that little bit longer.

For my bronzer/contour I have used the Barry M Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit, just to define my cheek bones a little bit and too add some more colour on my face. For blusher I am using my all time favourite blusher which is the Rockateur from Benefit then to highlight I am using High Beam which is also from Benefit.

For my eyes I am keeping things simple and using the shades Naked Lunch allover the lid and then using Omega and Mulch in the crease to deepen the looks up. I love these Mac eyeshadows as they are really pigmented and don't crease which is great when you are going to a concert as you tend to get hot and don't want your makeup creasing. For Mascara I am using the Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara I love this mascara it makes my lashes look so much fuller and really long as well! For brows as always I am using my Anastasia Beverly Hills Dip Brow Pomade.

The lipstick I have gone with is my all time favourite nude which is Chanel Coco Shine in the shade 57. It's just a sheer glossy nude which goes really well with the simple eyeshadow.

I hope you enjoyed today's post! Let me know if your going to any concerts soon I'd love to here about it!

What's In My Travel Makeup Bag



I am going on holiday this week so I thought I'd share the makeup I'm going to be taking away with me. I've tried to keep my makeup bag pretty light as I don't tend to go all out of makeup whilst on holiday so I have just packed a few of my favourite things.

For my base I am keeping things pretty light with a BB Cream, I have gone with the Maybelline Dream Pure BB Cream in the shade Light this is great for summer/holiday as it has an SPF in it and it's nice and light on the skin so it doesn't feel like I'm wearing a ton of makeup. For primer I have gone with The Body Shop Insta Blur I love this primer it's been a favourite of mine for a long time now! I am also taking the Collection Lasting Perfection concealer in the shade Light to conceal any dark circles or blemishes that appear.

For my contour/bronzer, blush and highlight I am taking my Nars Virtual Domination Palette, this palette has everything I need so it's easy to pop in my makeup bag and it also has a great mirror I can use. For my brows I am taking my trusty Anastasia Beverly Hills DipBrow Pomade as it is my favourite brow product and I never seem to reach for anything else.

For eyes I am taking my Mac quad with the shades Naked Lunch, All That Glitters, Omega and Mulch. With those shades I can create a neutral smokey eye which is what I tend to go for on an everyday basis. Along with my Mac quad I love wearing winged eyeliner so I am taking my Loreal Paris Super Line. For Mascara I am taking the Maybelline Lash Sensational Waterproof mascara.

For my lip options I am taking Mac Brave for a pink/nude and Chanel Lip Gloss in the shade 179 which is more of a peachy coral shade.

Hope you enjoyed this post! Let me know if you are going on/have been on holiday anywhere this summer!

Monthly Makeup Favourites | July 2015



I think it's about time I share my monthly makeup favourites with you all, as I haven't done a post like this is a few months. I recently brought a few things from Maybelline and they have made their way into this monthly favourites, the first product is the Dream Pure BB Cream I love BB Creams and I haven't wanted to try this one for ages as it is tailored towards oily skin. I have combination skin so I found that this BB Cream was perfect for my skin! I love the way it looks on my skin and this BB Cream is perfect for that no makeup look. The second product I have been loving throughout July has been the Master Sculpt, the drugstore doesn't really offer many good contour products but I think we have a winner with this! I have the shade 01 / Light Medium which is the perfect contour shade for me it's not to orange or dark so I don't end up looking like I have orange stripes across my cheeks.

My next favourite is a nail polish from Rita Ora's Rimmel London collection. I picked up the shade 498 / Rain Rain Go Away which is very fitting as it has not stopped raining here for about 2 days. I love this shade, I seem to be likely purple/greys for my nails at the moment so this is right up my street. I applied to coats but you could probably get away with just one! The nail polish seems to last about 3/4 days on my nails which I think is great as the nail polish is only £2.99.

My last favourite for this month is the Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow in the shade Bikini-Tini I love cream eyeshadows and I love champagne coloured eyeshadows as well so I finally got this one from Benefit after eyeing it up for ages! I love it, it just brightens up the eyes and as the name suggests it doesn't crease which is great as cream eyeshadows sometimes crease really easily!

Hope you enjoyed todays post, let me know what you have been loving this month!

Summer Wishlist 2015



Now that the weather in England has decided to turn hot although I don't hold out much hope in it staying this way for very long, as you all know how unpredictable English weather is. Anyway I finally thought it was a good time to post my summer wishlist.

The first beauty product that has made it's way onto my wishlist is the Charlotte Tilbury Filmstar Bronze and Glow after hearing so many amazing things about this product it has made me want it even more. I might have to pick it up on my next trip to Selfridges. The second beauty product that is on my summer wishlist is the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation this is another product that everyone always seems to be raving about. I do prefer a lighter foundation in the summer so maybe I will have to give Nars Sheer Glow a go and see if it lives up to expectations.

Moving onto non beauty.. I have been eyeing up the Kate Spade Cedar Street Hayden bag for a long time now. Its such a simple bag but I feel like I need to add it to my collection as I would get so much wear out of it and its just so pretty. As it is summer I really want a pair of White Joni Jeans from Topshop as these are like a summer fashion essential. I have so many tops that would go perfectly with a pair of white high wasted jeans!

Pandora recently released their new Rose Gold collection and everything is so pretty (I want it all). I really like the Pandora Rose Gold Bow Ring it is so simple and elegant but also so pretty and I love it. I am into simple jewellery so this is right up my street. I have wanted a polaroid camera for ages and the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 are so cute and its a really cool thing to have in the summer as I can take it with me and take pictures of my summer adventures.

Hope you enjoyed this post and let me know what is on your wishlist this summer!
