Top 5 Nudes | Drugstore Lipsticks

If you've been following my blog/Instagram for a while you will know about my love for nude lipsticks. I've never really been that adventurous with lip colours so always reach for a nude shade. I've managed to narrow them down for this post to share my top 5 favourite which are all from the drugstore!

Starting off with the Bourjois Shine Edition in the shade 26. Now that I've tried to find the link to it I've discovered that this range of lipsticks seems to have been discontinued which is so annoying as it's one of my favourite lipsticks!

The Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker lipsticks are some of my favourite, they have such a lovely formula and they smell amazing. I have two lipsticks from the nude collection. I have the shades Barley Pinking (right) and Love & O-Biege which are both Shine formulas. The lipsticks feel really nice on the lips and are moisturising. I always reach for these whether is when I'm just going to uni or when I want a nude for a night out.

The nude I've been reaching for the most lately is the Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lip Colour in the shade 63 Seduction. Although this states to be matte it isn't completely matte but I do really like the formula of this product and I love the shade as well. This formula is long lasting and goes with so many makeup looks.

Going back to Soap and Glory another one of my favourite nudes is the Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in the shade Nudist. I love a glossy nude and this is always my go too, I love how it makes my lips feel and the way it looks. I am always reaching for this lipstick.

Hope you all enjoyed this post today! Just a little life update my summer so very hectic so I failed at being a blogger but I am trying to keep up with blogging whilst being at university. If you see a few posts which aren't like my normal ones that because I am doing a project which includes blogging so there might be a few different styles of posts coming up in the next few weeks.

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!

The Perfect Lip Combo | Mac

If you have read my blog for a while now you will know I am a lover of pink nudes and sometimes I feel like thats all I go on about but I have finally jumped on a bandwagon which I should of jumped on ages ago and got my self Mac's lip liners in the shade 'Soar'. I have seen everyone raving about this for months as I think if I'm right its one of the shades that Kylie Jenner wears.

The lipliner pairs so well with my all time favourite Mac lipstick Brave and I have been wearing this combo most days now and I love it! I love using the lipliner as I can define my lips just that little bit more and I find my lipstick lasts so much longer! If you are looking for a new pink nude lip combo I would recommend you try this one out!

Hope you enjoyed todays post I will 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..

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!

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.

Summer Essentials | Collab with That Girl in Wonderland

As we are nearing towards summer now I thought I would share some of my summer essentials with you all. This is a collab with the lovely http://thatgirlinwonderlandx.blogspot.co.uk so make sure you check her post out as well!

My first summer essential is The Body Shop Aloe Soothing Moisture Lotion I love this moisturiser for the summer as it has an SPF of 15 and it't really important to wear SPF on your face especially in summer. I love this moisturiser as it is really light weight and leaves my skin really smooth and hydrated. This moisturiser is especially good if you have sensitive skin as it have Aloe in it so its soothing. My second summer essential is also from The Body Shop and its their Honey Bronzer I have it in the shade 01. I have talked about this bronzer loads as it is one of my favourite all time bronzers. This bronzer is great if you have pale skin and are wanted that skin kissed look without looking to orange! I cannot get enough of this bronzer.

My next two summer essentials are both lip products. The first being MAC Costa Chic Lipstick I have always loved a coral lip in the summer and this lipstick has got to be my go to coral. It is a frost finish so it is more matte on the lips but I really like that look which this shade. This lipstick also stays on for ages which is great for those long summer days. My next go to lip option is the L'Oreal Paris Color Riche Extraordinaire in the shade 201 Rose Symphony. This shade is a glossy pink/coral which is lovely for summer. I love wearing this with a tan!

My last summer essential is the Catrice All Round Up Waterproof Mascara. I love this mascara as it is water which is great for the summer but it also holds the curl and just makes my lashes look so long and full which is everything I want in a mascara.

Hope you have enjoyed this post. Remember its a collab so check out the lovely that girl in wonderland's post! http://thatgirlinwonderlandx.blogspot.co.uk

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!

Loréal Paris Color Riche Lipsticks

Don't you just love it when you find great lipsticks without an expensive price tag, look no further these lipsticks from Loréal Paris are amazing and I don't know why I hadn't tried them sooner. They retail at £6.99 each which is amazing! I have six shades from pinky nudes to a berry red. I have one matte shade which is 430 - Mon Jules and the rest of the shades I have are a more glossy finish but not super glossy.

The three lighter shades I got are 136 - Flamingo Elegance which is a pink/peach shade which is great for an everyday shade, 632 - Greige Amoureux is a lovely pinky/nude which little bits of glitter in it. It adds a lovely gleam to the lips. The last "pinky" shade I got is 431 - Fuchsia Déclaration this is a deeper pink which also have a few flecks of glitter in it.

The three darker shades I got are 703 - Oud Obsession which it a dark brown nude I don't really know when or how I am going to wear this but I thought it was an interesting shade to have in my collection. I don't really have many red lipsticks so I got one and it's in the shade 364 - 16 Place Vendrome I really like this red as it isn't a bright in your face red it is muted which I really like! Lastly I have the shade 430 - Mons Jules which is a matte berry shade, I think this is one of my favourite shades as I don't really have anything else like it!

Nude Lips vs Dark Lips

Lately I have been loving a pink/brown nude or the total opposite a deep purple/red. I have been loving either a brown nude (just like Kylie Jenners) or a pinky nude which is usually my go to lip option, but I have also been loving that dark red/purple lip which I love wearing with the good old winged liner.

The brown nude that I have been loving is The Body Shop, Colour Crush in the shade 310. I really love this lipstick as you can wear it shear as well as building up the colour for that full Kylie Jenner look.

The second nude that I have been loving which is more of pinky nude which is my normal go to lip option. It is the Bourjois Shine Edition in the shade 26. This is a gorgeous glossy nude colour and I love the way it looks with a smokey eye or just a simple eye look.

Lastly the dark lip which I have been wearing a lot lately is a Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick in the shade 477 Black Cherry. I know a lot of people that love this lipstick, and I am one of them! It is deferentially one of them bold lip shades which just make you feel 10x better about your make-up!

Well for me I am going to say that I am torn between dark lips and nude lips. I really can't decide a favourite! It depends on how I am feeling as to what lipstick I choose.

 I really want to get some more bold/dark lipsticks so if you have any suggestions make sure you tell me in the comments!
