March Favourites

 Howdy Dudes &  Dudettes 

Maybelline Define a lash mascara - HERE
I got this mascara a while ago but only the past couple of weeks I've really enjoyed using it. I know some people don't like plastic applicators but I really like them. This mascara lengthens your lashes without leaving clumps, very lightweight mascara so you don't feel as if you have a bunch of false lashes on but sill gives that long defined look. 

Revlon Candy Apple Lip Butter - HERE
No.7 Stay Perfect Tranquil Rose - HERE
Both of these lipsticks have been in my bag with me wherever I'm going.
Beautiful colours, moisturizing & long lasting.
I just love love love them!

Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation 100 Ivory - HERE
Revlon Nearly Naked 120 Vanilla - HERE
I couldn't choose between both these foundations .
The Wake Me Up foundation does exactly what it says on the bottle, It gives you that lovely 'I'm awake' kind of shine, as if you've had that perfect nights sleep that you wished you actually had. Good coverage and long wear. Big thumbs up from Chloë.
The Nearly Naked Foundation is defiantly a spring/summer kind of foundation for those days when it's hot outside (if the UK ever gets past this darn phase of rain, snow and cold weather) and want some coverage but don't want anything heavy on your face. It has light coverage and blends well. I feel this foundation applies best for me either using my fingers or the Real Techniques expert face brush

TRESemmé No Frizz Argan Oil -
I have wrote a separate post about this product

Arm & Hammer Advance White Toothpaste and Max Booster -  HERE &   HERE
Since using this toothpaste and max booster I have seen an improvement in my teeth. Coffee, Tea & Fizzy drinks are all things I stopped drinking/cut down on for so long but I've noticed lately I'm drinking a lot more of these drinks which I know is really not good my teeth. But using this advance white toothpaste has helped with teeth staining from my bad caffeine drinking habit's.. Naughty Chloë!

Garnier Moisture Match Combination to Oily Skin - HERE
I must start off by saying the texture of this creme felt quite weird the first couple times using this but I quite like it now. I don't use this creme all over my face like a regular moisturizer I generally target the places on my face that are more oily than others like my forehead, around my nose and chin due to these being the places that I need the most mattifiying effect. So far in the short space of time this product has been out I am really enjoying it. 

Impulse Loving Words Body Spray -  HERE
Oh my. I could sit and smell this sent all day. I'm not too sure how to describe this smell except it's florally goodness. I bought this some time last year and it got lost in the back of the cupboard and forgotten about but I'm so glad I came across it again. If you're in Boots or Superdrug you must smell this fragrance. Truly Delish!


Non Beauty Favourites - 

Malteasters - These just had to be added as
a favourite this month. I've been stocking
up before they stop selling these after
Easter. Honestly, they're AMAZING!

Infinity Bracelet - HERE
Claddagh Bracelet (Irish traditional symbol meaning love, friendship

Excuses & Empties

Howdy dudes & dudettes

I've been away from the 'ole blog machine for a few weeks and while I do have excuses I'm not going to bore you to death with them all, but I will share one excuse.. My parents came over to visit me last weekend in London for a couple of days, a LOT of laughs were had (to the point where I was crying in an Italian restaurant because I found something so funny and when myself and my mother visited the Tate Modern Museum and I had to bury my head in my mothers coat to stop my laughter from echoing all over the very VERY silent museum), we had some lovely meals and just a really nice time spent. 

Annnd onto the reviews..

 Empties

Garnier Pure Active - 24 hour spot fighting moisturizer

I love almost everything Garnier, it just suits my skin so perfectly and all of the products I've tried seem to do my skin some sort of good. As a person who has fought with acne/spots for so many years I'm always up for trying something that says it can fight them or at-least keep them at bay and that's what the Garnier 24 hour spot fighting moisturizer did for me, although it didn't clear the spots completely, I did notice a big change in my skin, it felt more hydrated, healthier looking and the spots had faded. Big thumbs up from me!

TRESemmé - Heat Defence Spray

I've repurchased this spray on so many occasions, it does what it says on the bottle really, although I think I may be repurchasing this mostly for the smell and the travel size bottle considering its not a product I would simply rave about, I've found a lot more heat protecting sprays that do the same if not better for my hair. It is a good product but it didn't 'wooooow' me to the extent where I needed to run out the door in my bath towel to the nearest supermarket to buy one when I realised it was empty. 

Nivea Visage - Light Moisturising day cream
I started using this product at the beginning of 2012 when my mother posted it over to me when I first moved to London (she was worried I wasn't moisturising) and for a couple months I used this and found it to be quite a good cream but once I found the Garnier 24 hour spot fighting moisturizer I threw this little tube into the back of the cupboard but I have recently discovered my little friend again. Just looking at the box and the tube it doesn't look very exciting or appealing but my gosh it works wonders, my face has cleared up a huge amount, it feels so smooth and it's like it's had a nice drink..yuuum hydrated face! Another Thumbs up from me! P.s I've already repurchased this.

Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder - 001

As you can tell from the pictures above I depleted the container until it's last little bit, great powder, keeps my face shine free while not making it feel over powered and dry like I feel some powders do. Huge plus is  that it doesn't flake on my skin.. woo hoo!

Rimmel Match Perfection  - 001 Light

Again with this blush, it's existence in the top left picture is almost invisible  Once you swirl your brush in and around this blush it gives a great glowy shine to your face, as you can tell I have already hit pan on the repurchased blush. Although the past couple days I've been really liking just using the peach colour on it's   
                                 own, it gives that nice little sun-kissed 'I look really fresh' look.

Batiste Original Dry Shampoo
Sudocrem

These 2 items are probably my babies, once I'm running low I feel the need to go running to the shops in a panic to buy some more, I think I have some sort of a fear that they will discontinue these products.. even just typing that gave me the shivers. I think everyone has those products that they have used for so long that they just become apart of them. I know a lot of people use all the different types of Batiste Dry Shampoo  but for me I've always gone back to the Original scent/type, it likes my hair and does the trick, I have really dark brown hair and for some people white dry shampoos tend to leave a dandruff looking layer on their hair when they use this but maybe I'm just the lucky one because it doesn't happen to me.

 Sudocrem - The answer to all life's problems. No matter how big or small it is if someone has hurt themselves, have a spot, their arm is itchy, anything. I will always suggest they use Sudocrem. I'm one of these people you probably don't want to meet if i'm having a 'bad skin day' because all you will meet is a white spotted sudocrem covered face.. not the best look! But none the less it's works like a dream. 

ELF - High Definition Powder

I really enjoyed using the High Definition Powder, when I first seen it on ELF I was a bit skeptical on weather it would be of any use to me or not buuuuut I was proved quite wrong. It gives that 'perfect photo finish' kind of look. I haven't jumped to buy this product again mainly because I haven't had any need to buy anything else from the website. The only downside is that it comes with a soft sponge applicator which I had lost and it meant I had to be super careful opening the pot because the product would just go everywhere.. booo! Other than that I will be sure to add this to the basket on my next order. 

Soap & Glory - Hand food

This is one of those things I always have in my handbag or just lying around in the cupboard , although this one may be empty I'll be sure to find half full or even full tubes floating around my bedroom or handbags. It smells great, looks cute and moisturises my hands,what more could you really want from a hand cream? Superrrrb! 

Do you use any of these products? Do you have the same views as I do towards them?

My 2012 Favourite's

I thought seeing as now it's the beginning of 2013 I would do a post about my 2012 favourite's  from beauty, hair, & some other bits and bobs. 

These are some of the things that have been my bestfriends throughout the year.. I like 'em a lot a lot a lot. . a lot.

Soap and glory is one of my favourite brands and this body wash was everything i expected it would be, it leaves my skin feeling so smooth and smelling amazing. CLICK: HERE

I don't think there has been an  Aussie product I've ever  used and disliked but these three  pictured above would have to be the ones I enjoy using the most and also my hair seems to like it very much also. Happy hair makes Chloë happy.

Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder  in 001 Transparent has definitely been a life saver on many occasions, I don't tend to have really oily skin but when I do it tends to happen around my nose and also my chin, so I definitely recommend this to anyone that has a tad bit of oily skin, it keeps it at bay some what.
Rimmel match perfection in 001 Light  this blush for me seemed to have all of my attention during the year.

Some of my favourite jewellery and Hair pieces

Garnier BB Cream - Light
Rimmel match perfection - 010 Procelain light

I've been really into red lipstick/tints recently

ELF Cheerful Cherry - To buy Click: HERE

Rimmel Kate Moss - 107

Maybelline Super stay tint gloss - 120 Berry Heavenly

OH MY DAYS. This has always been and probably always will  be my favourite soap & Glory product. If you are yet to have the experience of using this then you are definitely missing out. It smells amazing (just like all soap & glory products) but i'm not even kidding it leaves your skin so silky smooth and fresh, I can't say enough about this.

I get all of my Soap & Glory products from Boots, mainly because the majority of the time they will have a '3 for 2' offer on. You can also check it out: HERE

I am a lover of Garnier anything (mostly) but this '24hr spot fighting moisturiser' has really helped my skin improve, as a person that suffers  with acne every so often I can honestly say that this cream has helped wonders. Big thumbs up from me.

And last but most certainly not least,

Bio Oil  I'm not sure how but I only discovered this in 2012 but my golly gosh am I glad I did. So far it has helped a HEAP with the uneven skin tone around my nose and chin, the scaring from where I use to have my lip pierced has faded so much and all in all I feel like my skin is a lot more healthy looking since using it. It doesn't leave my skin feeling greasy or Oily (as you would probably think it would). Thank you Bio Oil.

So there we have it, the things I  loved to use in 2012

and still love to use.

What were some of the things you loved the past year? Let me know :)
