Blogging Bandwagon // GET TO KNOW ME


After seeing these posts on La Bella Vita & CoutureGirl recently, I thought I'd jump on the blogging bandwagon and do one myself as I don't think I've ever really done a post like this before... So for those of you who hate 'about me' posts.. stop reading now!
If you want to check out the lovely ladies who's blog's I stole this idea from (and I think you do) here are their links! :

GET TO KNOW ME

1. Are you named after anyone?
I'm not named after somebody - but the perfume 'Chloe' (destined to love all beauty related things eh?!) ... Apparently it was my mum's signature scent at the time, which now I always wear!

2. When was the last time you cried?
I think I actually cried last night, but in my sleep.. (how sad!) Hmm apart from that... can't really remember, which is good! Weeeep

3. Do you have kids?
Not yet thankyouuu! Although I am one of those freaks who knows her children's names already... ha

4. If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself?
I'd like to hope so!

5. Do you use sarcasm a lot?
Yeah I reckon I do... that's an English thing though isn't it?! Ahem lowest-form-of-humour

6. Will you ever Bungee Jump?
I'd like to think so ! I have quite a few friends who have been to cool places like New Zealand and Thailand and bungee jumped... Would literally be terrifying but I think I'd love it

7. What's your favourite cereal?
I don't eat cereal... bleugh it's just so bland and boring - wish I did though, bit healthier than a fry-up!

8. What's the first thing you notice about people?
Probably superficial things like their hair, face etc. I'm rubbish at paying any attention to people's clothes when I first meet them (which is weird as I love clothes) .. ooh and I have a thing about accents so I definitely notice peoples voices!

9. What is your eye colour?
Blue :)

10. Scary movie or happy endings?
Definitely happy endings... I'm such a girl! I used to LOVE scary movies and now I can't stand them... I watch them and I'm like 'why am I putting myself through this!!!!' ..Give me a rom-com and ben&jerries any day.

11. Favourite smells?
Hmm, coconut - reminds me of summer, summer products and things! Then standard smells like freshly cut grass, clean sheets etc.. think everyone loves them. Aaand perfume wise - too many! Alien by Theirry Mugler, Chloe, Hollister, Daisy by Marc Jacobs, Juicy Couture perfumes.. gosh loads!

12. Summer or winter?
Absolutely summer, I'm such a summer person and always have been. Nothing at ALL is better than the sun, a beach and a bikini. Don't get me wrong, I love cosy nights in front of the fire ... but summer will always win for me. Plus, my birthday is at the end of May so I always tend to have summery BBQ birthdays!

13. Computer or television?
Hmm, computer.. but that's because you can watch TV on it. Not going to lie - I love my TV.

14. What's the furthest you've ever been from home?
Errrrm, South Africa? That's further than Florida right?! I spent a month in South Africa when I was 17 working with animals and a game capture team which was INCREDIBLE. Oooh, but I'm going to Indonesia for a month in August with my bestie which I cannot WAIT for, so then that'll be the furthest.

15. Do you have any special talents?
Oh god I'm not sure! Nothing that stands out.. I wish I could sing (I can't at ALL) I think I'm going to have to ask someone else this question and get back to you........ !!

16. Where were you born?
Cheshire in England - born and raised. (Which is near Manchester) Some say it's a bit of a bubble, but I love it.

17. What are your hobbies?
Obviously make-up, shopping and girlie things like that. I'm also a bit obsessed with cooking, and acting like Bree VanDerkamp! Being with my friends and boyf- Chris, travelling, going for dinner...

18. Do you have any pets?
Yes! I have two labradoodles who are too fricking cute: Ruby (who has already had one litter of puppies and is expecting another this summer!) and Daisy aka Daisy-Mae Monroe (yep we're that sad) who we only got last April. Literally obsessed with my puppies, couldn't live without them!

19. Favourite movies?
Lots and Lots! The Notebook, Limitless, Law Abiding Citizen, Friends with Benefits... Gosh too many to name really.

20. Do you have any siblings?
Yep, I have a sister who doubles up as a bestie. Chris thinks we're weird because we're stupidly close and have all our own phrases and words... but meh!


So there it is guys! Hope it didn't bore you too much... let me know if you liked this kind of post XO

RIMMEL WAKE ME UP foundation // review

I've been meaning to post this for a while, but have been so lazy on the blogging front so I'm sorry! I'll try my hardest to be better..
So here it is, my Rimmel Wake Me Up foundation review.

There is one major downfall to this product for me... the colour range: my sample was in 200 soft beige, which (as you can see from the photo's) makes me look... muddy. BUT apart from that it's actually a really nice drugstore foundation.

It claims to 'visibly reawaken' and 'illuminate' the skin... well, illuminate - yes I think it definitely does, the coverage is sheer to medium and it does have a lovely dewy glow to it. But 'visibly reawaken'?! Hmm not sure that's not just all talk. It also has a lovely fresh fruity smell to it (which may put off some people who are funny about putting perfumed products onto their skin) but I really like it!

For £8.99(ish) a bottle, if you can find your colour match then this foundation is really lovely... don't be put off by the overly shimmery look it has to it in the bottle, as I found that it blends out into nothing- so I'd definitely recommend as a foundation for the summer.

PS. I am wearing YSL touche eclat to add to the luminosity of this product xx

MAC Naughty Saute // LIPSTICK REVIEW

Hey girlies, today I'm doing a review on a new MAC lipstick I have from the SHOP MAC COOK MAC collection: Naughty Saute.
Naughty Saute is a cremesheen lipstick, meaning that it has a light and creamy consistency - with a little gloss, however not taking away from the pigmentation. It's really soft on the lips and feels moisturising too which makes it really long lasting... I have worn this lipstick and not had to reapply it for over 3 hours which I think is pretty darn good.
Naughty Saute is a bright, futuristic-barbie pink colour, with blue undertones - so not one for the faint hearted, but I think it's really wearable and the blue undertones are good for making your teeth look white!
I'm actually loving this colour which is quite surprising as I usually steer clear from super bright lipsticks however I think that's changing as I'm currently really wanting the 'watch me simmer' lipstick from the same collection which is a warm summery coral shade. Anyway let me know what you think and if you're lusting after this lipstick get it now! as I know the MAC cook collection is selling out FAST.
