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!

Barcelona Sephora Haul






For the past 5 days I have been in Barcelona on holiday and as I was there I just had to make a trip to Sephora as I have never actually been too one before! I picked up a few things as it was my birthday and my boyfriend also treated me to the Kat Von D palette which I have wanted for ages! I went into Sephora twice, the first time I just got the Kat Von D Tattoo Liner in the shade Trooper which is a jet black shade. I have used this eyeliner a couple of times now and it is the best eyeliner I have ever used! I think it beats my other all time favourite which is the Stila Stay All Day eyeliner. 

On my second trip too Sephora which was on my birthday this is when I brought everything else. I got the Kat Von D Shade & Light Contour Palette which I have wanted for so long and I can't wait too start using it. The shades are so nice and I think I will be able to use all of them! I also picked up one of the Too Faced Chocolate Bar Eye Palettes, one thing I have too say about this palette is that it smells amazing! I have heard everyone going on about this palette and now I can see why everyone loves it. From Too Faced I also got one of their blushes in the shade - I Will Always Love You. This is a pretty peach shade with a slight shimmer in it. I love blushes like this and can't wait too start using it! The last thing I got was a Beauty Blender, I have wanted one of these for ages and they worked out cheaper when I was in Barcelona so I thought it was a great time to pick one up finally! I haven't used it yet, but can't wait too start using it as I have heard so many great things about it!

Hope you guys enjoyed this post today! If you want too see any pictures from my trip to Barcelona I have been uploading some on my Instagram so make sure you are following me on there my username is chloewrighttt!

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..

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!

Updated | Everyday Makeup


I think it is finally time I update you all on the makeup I've been wearing daily. It hasn't changed to much but there are a few new and different things I have been reaching for more.

For my base I am still loving Benefit Porefessional I have recently started using this again but it has been a product I have loved for ages and I had forgotten how much I liked it! I am still loving the Maybelline Pure Fresh BB Cream which is really long lasting as it is for only skin so it is matte. I am loving using this as I am now back at college and this lasts all day long. To conceal I am using the Mac ProLong Wear concealer I just use this when the coverage from the BB cream isn't just enough. To set that all in place I am still loving the Soap and Glory One Heck of a Blot powder, which I think might be my all time favourite powder. I really need to pick up another one of these as I have majorly hit pan.

To contour I have been using the Master Sculpt from Maybelline I have finally found a contour shade that isn't to orange for me yippee! For blush I have rediscovered my Benefit Rockateur Blush I haven't used this in ages but I have fallen back in love with this blush. For highlight I am either using the powder highlight that comes in the Master Sculpt which is a loving champagne shade with flecks of shimmer, or I am using the Benefit Watts Up Highlighter which is a creamy champagne highlighter. I love the cream highlighter when I am going for a more dewy look.

On my eyes I am still loving the whole winged eyeliner look so I just use my Topshop Magic Liner which stays in place all day and is super black! For mascara I have been using the Urban Decay Perversion Mascara which I am loving it stays in place theres no smudging or flaking it just stays put. It also holds a curl and makes my lashes look super long!

Lastly on my lips I have been loving Brave Lipstick from Mac which I forgot to put in the photo but I have been wearing it loads! I have also been loving a lip liner from Essence Cosmetics in the shade 07 / Cute Pink I love this shade as it is a darker pink that what I would usually go for but I have really been liking it lately!

Hope you all enjoyed this post! Make sure you let me know what some of the products you use daily are! See you in my next post!

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!

My Go To Nude Lipsticks



I thought I would share my go to nude lipsticks with you all as I am a lover of nude lipsticks especially those pinky nudes. Starting of with my favourite high end nude lipstick this is the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in the shade 54 Boy, as this a Rouge Coco Shine the lipstick is very sheer but I love nudes that are sheer and glossy.

Moving onto drugstore lipsticks one of my all time favourite nude lipsticks is the Bourjois Paris Shine Edition lipstick in the shade 26 / Beige Démocrachic this lipstick is an amazing drugstore dupe for the Chanel Rouge Coco Shine that I mentioned the shades and finish of the lipstick is so similar they look nearly identical. My next favourite nude lipstick is from Milani and I know Milani is harder to find in the UK but I usually order Milani products from the website beautycrowd.com they have a really good selection of Milani products on their website. I am in love with the Milani lipstick in the shade 26 / Nude Crème this lipstick is more of a satin finish as it is a lot less glossy than the other two I have mentioned this is also more of a lighter pink nude than the other two.

Another one of my go to nude lipsticks is the Loréal Paris Collection Privee in the shade Julianne's Nude this lipstick is one of my all time favourite lipsticks and I always find myself going back to this lipstick. I love the formula of the lipstick and the shade is a lovely peachy pink nude I find that this lipstick looks really nice with a gold and brown smokey eye. My last go to nude lipstick is a new favourite of mine and it is the Kate Moss Lipstick in the shade 45, this is more of a darker nude than the others mentioned but this lipstick is a very close match to my natural lip colour so its one of those my lips but better lipsticks which I love on a simple makeup day. The lipstick is glossy but not too glossy it just leaves a nice sheen to the lips.

Hope you enjoyed todays post! Let me know what your favourite nude lipsticks are!

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!
