February Beauty Favourites

Thought February I have found some new beauty favourites but have also rediscovered some old favourites of mine! Starting with my new favourites I just have to mention the Too Faced Sweet Peach eyeshadow palette again! I am in love with this palette, I love the packaging, the smell and of course the shadows. They have such a good pigmentation and blend like a dream, I love all the colours and there are so many different looks which you can create with this palette. To go along with the Sweet Peach eyeshadow palette I have been loving the Sweet Peach Glow Palette, I've been loving highlighters sooooo much lately I just can't get enough of them. I love having a peachy glow to my skin and the Sweet Peach Glow does exactly that for me! Moving onto another highlighter palette I have been loving the Becca x Jaclyn Hill Champagne Collection Face Palette  before I got this palette I had never tried anything from Becca, but this palette has lived up to the hype! 

Moving onto another new favourite of mine which is the Bobbi Brown Moisture Rich Foundation, I have been finding that my skin has been really dry lately and this foundation has been perfect. It doesn't cling to dry patches and gives a lovely dewey finish to the skin whilst still adding a medium coverage. Now onto more of a rediscovery is the Bourjois Healthly Mix Concealer, in which they have recently re formulated this concealer and changed the packaging of it and I much prefer the packaging this way than it being in a squeeze type of tube. 

Moving onto another new favourite of mine which is the NYX Lingerie Lipstick, my favourite shades are 04&08 which are the top 2 shades featured in the picture above. These are really long wearing and aren't to drying on the lips. They also have an amazing range of shades and I really want to try more!

Hope you have enjoyed todays post and I'll see you in my next!

Too Faced | Sweet Peach

I'm so excited to finally have my hands on the Sweet Peach eyeshadow and Glow palette from Too Faced! I was so excited when I saw that this was launching again and I managed to pick it up from Sephora when I was in Paris over the new year.

Just as I expected these both smell amazing and have amazing colour pay off as well. I've always been a fan of Too Faced products after using their Chocolate bar palette so I knew I'd love this just as much. All the colours have an amazing pigment to them and blend so nicely together. I love the peachy glow from the Sweet Peach Glow palette its not to intense of a highlight but you get a lovely glow from it. I'm so glad I managed to pick these up whilst being in Paris and can't wait for the collection to launch in the UK so I can get some more peach goodies!

I hope you all had an amazing Christmas and New Year! Hopefully I'll be posting a lot more in 2017.

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!

Review | Urban Decay Naked Smokey

I know by now there are millions of posts about the Urban Decay Naked Smoky palette but I just had to share my thoughts on this beautiful palette over here on my blog. I know this palette was released a couple of weeks ago but I wanted to be able to use it a few times before giving a full review on it. I am so happy to finally have the Naked Smoky Palette ever since I heard about it I have been waiting to get my hands on it!

Just like the other Naked Palettes this is also long and rectangular but the packing is different as it is plastic. Personally this is my favourite packaging of the Naked Palettes I just think it looks really slick and cool. The palette also comes with a brush just like the others but instead of having a flat end on the brush it has more of a tapered brush so you can blend the eye shadows out and get that smokey look. Unlike the other palettes the shades do not go light-dark they go light on both ends and meet dark shades in the middle.

The Smoky palette has 4 matte shades and the rest are glittery/shimmery. The one thing I love about this palette is that even though its a palette aimed towards Smoky looks you can create wearable smokey looks as well as really dramatic looks. The look I have been going for lately has been taking the shade High all over the lid and then using the shades Combust Whiskey in the crease.

I think out of all the Naked palette so far and that I own this one is my favourite. I know thats a bold statement to make but I just love this palette and the shadows blend beautifully and there isn't much of a fall out either which is great! I now just need to get the first Naked Palette then my collection with be complete!

Hope you have enjoyed todays post! Let me know what your favourite Naked palette is.

Boots Haul

I know this is my second haul and we aren't even half way through this month but I have just been doing a lot of shopping lately and I thought I'd share what I recently got from Boots. (I really need to go on a spending ban) I suppose it wasn't too bad as everything I got was on some sort of offer!

Soap and Glory had the offer that when you buy one thing you get another half price so I picked up two of the 'Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Sticks' in the shades Pink-A-Boo and Nudist. These are so glossy and look so good on the lips. Pink-A-Boo is such a lovely pink shade which complements the lips beautifully and Nudist is the perfect nude for me. I really love these, there is three more shades in the collection so I might have to go back to boots to pick those up!

Maybelline had a deal on that you can get two products for £10 so I got the Fit Me powder and concealer. I have tried out the powder and the colour looks great I got it in the shade 120 / Classic Ivory. I also got the concealer in the lightest shade but it looks a little orange on me but maybe when I've got a bit more of a tan it will match better to my skin.

Lastly I got the Real Techniques Bold Metals Tapered Blush Brush which is number 300. I have wanted to get a brush so this collection for ages but just haven't got round to picking one up and at the moment the Bold Metals collection has 20% off so I thought it would be a good time to get one of these brushes. I really like the brush I have been using it for a combination of blusher and highlighter and I love how soft it is and it is also so pretty.

Hope you enjoyed todays post! I think it is deferentially time for me to go on a spanning ban for a few weeks!

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!

Recent Purchases | Maybelline New York

I noticed that Maybelline have had a few new releases lately and I've been dying to try everything so I picked up a few things on my latest trip to boots as they had an offer on Maybelline which was buy one get one half price.

The first two items I picked up were the Dream Pure 8-in-1 BB Cream and the Lash Sensational Mascara I'm not sure if these are new releases or not as I have had my eye on these for about a month.  I've been on the look out for a new BB Cream to try and the Dream Pure BB Cream is for oily skin which I have so I thought I'd give it a go. I got it in the shade Light as I am still pretty pale, I thought this BB cream would be great for summer as it also has an SPF in it.

After hearing people compare the Lash Sensational Mascara to Benefit's Roller Lash which I love I just had to try it. I got the waterproof formula as I am going on holiday soon and I thought the mascara would be great to take with me. I am really looking forward to trying both of these products.

The two new releases that I have been dying to try are The Nudes EyeShadow Palette and the Master Sculpt. I love a good neutral palette and I don't have any from the drugstore so I had to pick this up to give it a go. The shades are pigmented and have a really nice texture from what I can see from doing a swatch of them. In the palette you get 12 shades some are matte and some have a slight glitter to them but nothing over the top so this palette can be used to create a natural smokey eye or a smokey eye which is more suited for a dramatic look.

 I love the look of this palette as I will get wear out of all the shades. I am also really excited to try the Master Sculpt as I have been loving contouring and highlighting lately. The master sculpt is a powder contour and highlight I got the shade light which is a really good shade as it isn't too orange/brown as I normally find that with a lot of drugstore contour kits. The highlight is a light champagne colour which I love!

Hope you all enjoyed this post!  

Milani Cosmetics

I have wanted to try some products from Milani Cosmetics for a very long time, in the UK it is hard to find Milani products so I ordered these from Beauty Crowd. I was very happy to finally get my hands on some Milani products!

I got a Colour Statement Lipstick in the shade Nude Creme, it's a pinky nude which applies beautifuly and lasts ages once on the lips. The lipstick has a sheen to it but isn't at all glossy it is more of a satin finish. It looks lovely with a smokey brown eye and its a very everyday lipstick that is easy to pull off.

I also got a  Rose Powder Blush in the shade Romantic Rose, these blushers are so pigmented you need to tiniest amount of product to get a good colour pay off. The texture is really smooth and buttery so the blusher applies very smoothly to the skin and last ages. I also picked up a Illuminating face powder in the shade Beauty's Touch, I use this to highlight the tops of my cheek bones it comes out as a pinky highlight once all the shades are swirled together. Both the blusher and illuminator are very pretty to look at and I almost don't want to use them and ruin their prettiness.

Drugstore Favourites | Collab With Life of Liv

I am finally sharing some of my favourite drugstore products with you. This is a collab with the lovely Liv from http://lifeeoflivv.blogspot.co.uk in her post she is sharing some of her favourite high end products so make sure you check out Liv's post as well!

I am going to start off by mentioning one of my favourite drugstore brands which is Soap and Glory they have so many amazing products and everyone is always raving about their products. I love the One Heck of a Blot powder which is a translucent mattifying powder. This powder is my holy grail it is literally the only powder I need, it makes everything stay in place all day! Also from Soap and Glory is the SuperCat eyeliner, I have used this eyeliner for months now and I am still loving it! It is so easy to use and so pigmented and stays in place all day and doesn't smudge all over the place like a lot of eyeliners tend to do.

I can't do a drugstore favourites post without mentioning the Barry M Flawless Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit, I have done a whole post raving about how good this contour kit is so I won't blabber on about it too much but it is the perfect contour kit if you are just starting out with makeup or are on a budget. It is so pigmented and blends beautifully! Everything you want in a contour kit right?

I also have to mention the Maybelline Colour Tattoos everyone seems to love this and I do too! These are such an affordable cream eye shadow which are insanely pigmented and so easy to blend and use. They come in loads of different colours as well so there is one for every look.

Lastly I need to mention my favourite lip product from the drugstore. I have always loved the Bourjois Colour Boost chubby sticks. They are so moisturising and have an amazing range of colours! My favourite shade has got to be '07 Proudly Naked' it is the perfect everyday pinky nude.

The Spring Edit | My Makeup Bag

In spring I have always loved to use lighter products, to achieve a effortless look. All the products that are in my makeup bag this spring allow me to do that and its also a look that you can achieve in about 5-10 minutes.



For my base I have kept things pretty light and simple. I like to use The Body Shop Insta Blur for my primer which helps my makeup stay on all day and smooths my skin out before putting foundation on. For foundation I love using the Rimmel London Match Perfection as it is a pretty light coverage but gives a lovely dewy finish to the skin which is what I am wanting this spring. Then to cover those dark circles and imperfections I have been using MAC Prolongwear Concealer, this concealer is very high coverage so I just use a little bit wear I need it. Then to set that all into place I just all the Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot power.

 For highlight I have been using the Benefit Watts Up highlighter which is a champagne colour and it looks so pretty dusted on top of the cheeks. For blush I am still loving the Max Factor Creme Puff Blush in 05 Lovely Pink which is a shimmery pink shade which is lovely for spring.

Throughout the year I tend to keep my eye makeup pretty simple as I love the winged eyeliner look. Lately I have been using the Topshop Magic Liner and I have been loving it! Its so easy to use and is so pigmented and stays in place all day! For mascara I am still loving the Benefit Roller Lash, I love the curl it gives my lashes and it holds the curl so well! For my brows I am still loving the Anastasia Dipbrow Pomade I just haven't found anything else as good as this!

Lastly for lips, of course as its spring I am going pink and glossy! I have been wearing the Kiko lipstick in 803 and the Maybelline Colour Elixir in the shade 705 Blush Essence both of these are lovely pink nudes which are my favourite for spring.

Hope you have enjoyed this post. Let me know what products you love for spring.

Spring Pinks

I'm going to say that wearing a pink lip is probably the lip option I go for most days, whether its a pink nude or a peachy pink that's probably what I have on my lips. I'd much rather wear a pink lip than a bold red as I feel like pink suits my skin tone much better. I thought I'd share a handful of my favourite pink lip options for spring/summer.

I am going to start off with one of my favourite pink nudes which is the Kiko lipstick in 803, it is very sheer when you first put it one but with a couple of swipes you have a full colour. All though this is a sheer glossy lipstick it lasts on the lips for a good few hours which I love! Another favourite of mine is the Lorèal Color Riche in the shade 136 Flamingo, this is a lighter pink which has a lovely sheen to it. It looks gorgeous with really glow skin and a brown smokey eye thats what I tend to pair this lipstick with.

Moving on to another all time favourite of mine which is the NYX Butter Gloss in Vanilla Cream Pie, I have loved this lipgloss since I first got it. It has an amazing formula as it isn't to sticky but still manages to stay on the lips. Another favourite which also happens to be from Lorèal Paris is the Collect Privee in Julianne's Nude, this lipstick is probably one of my all time favourite peachy pinks. I find that it suits my skin tone swell as being able to wear it with any type of eye makeup. I love the formula of this as it just has a sheen to it and isn't glossy like the others mentioned.

Lastly I have to mention Toyshops Lipstick in the shade Tease, this is the lipstick I always reach for when I want a full on pink lip. I love this lipstick as its matte and is so pigmented. This looks lovely with a simple winged eyeliner.

Hope you enjoyed todays post!

Barry M Flawless Chisel Cheeks Contour Kit

After seeing so many people raving about this contour kit I just had to try it out for myself. I've been after the Anastasia Beverly Hill Contour kit but at the moment I just can't justify the price and I don't think I would use all the shades in the palette. So I have opted for this Barry M Contour Kit instead.

I normally find it hard to find that perfect contour shade, as being pale I find that contour shades are normally to orange. I was surprised when I tried this out it wasn't to orange for my skin. The contour kit includes 3 shades; the first shade is a highlight which you can use on the high points of your face so the tops of your cheek bones, centre of the forehead and the length of the nose. It adds a nice glow to the skin. The middle shade is a medium brown shade which you can use to bronze up the face or contour with it. On days when I want a light contour I tend to use this shade as my contour shade. The last shade is a dark brown which is the contour shade of the palette, you can use this shade to sculpt the cheek bones, to get that amazing contoured look. 

The palette retails for £6.49 which I think is a great price for a contour palette. I would recommend this palette if you are thinking about getting the Anastasia Beverly Hill Contour Kit.
