New Year, New Blog Goals.

Hello, Lovely people!

I hope you all had an amazing New Year. My New Year consisted of a Chinese takeaway and a Harry Potter marathon (could you even imagine a better New Years eve). As Always I want to apologise for the millionth time for being the worst blogger ever and failing at being consistent on my blog. With this said one of my resolutions for this year was not only to be more involved in blogging again but to also keep up with my youtube channel and even start doing Vlogs! I'm nervous but extremely excited... I'm one of those people that thinks I am such a boring person that doesn't do anything exciting that doing vlogs is pointless; but then I think - wait there my favourite vlogs are when you follow them around on a typical day! So even if I get 2 views or 200 I definitely want to pursue this goal because it's been something I've been wanting to do for an extremely long time.

So I'm heading to London and Paris very soon so will begin my vlogging adventure then! I'm going to use my phone for recording because who ever starts youtube with a good camera right? It's tradition to have a phone camera! I also want to start working on outfit videos as I have a pretty good response to some looks I put together on my instagram so why not!

A few of my other resolutions and goals are

• To stay organised and plan.
• To be more confident in myself.
• To stop beating myself up about failing because no one is perfect.
• To appreciate the little things more.
• To stay in Uni this time! (you can do it Chloe)

What are your New Years resolutions and goals?

Thanks guys!

My Minimal Makeup Routine.

I know what you're thinking...
and I know I haven't posted on here in a while and I'm not making any excuses towards my absence, it's just me being an almighty procrastinator. BUT... I am back and I am going to try my hardest to blog once to twice a week as of now. Thank you for your patience, now lets get into this blog post.

Today I am talking through my most recent makeup routine. Recently i've been really focusing on looking after my skin and creating my own strict skincare routine to tackle my problem areas. I've been pretty much walking around with no makeup on for the past 3 weeks and I'm okay with that; but it's always nice when your'e feeling a bit down to put a bit of makeup on, even if your'e lounging around your house. So on those days here is what I've been using.
I'm starting off with my base: Liz Earle moisturiser for dry/ sensitive skin. This is just a light moisturiser that I use in the morning after completing my skincare routine. This particular moisturiser is pretty much made up of natural ingredients so I know I'm not putting anything harsh on my face.

Next I apply my: Liz Earle Sheer Skin Tint with SPF 15 in the lightest shade. This is a moisturiser in itself but due to my skin reacting to the cold weather I prefer to use both the moisturiser and the skin tint. I apply this with my fingers and It's gives me that 'no makeup' makeup look. It's a very light coverage skin tint so it feels light on the skin and keeps the skin looking radiant and shows the skins natural glow. I've been substituting my foundation for this and my skin is certainly thanking me for the switch.

The next few things I do Is just an everyday thing which is brushing through my brows, curling my eyelashes and applying whatever lip balm is there (usually a good old Nivea lip balm does the trick). After that I apply my L'oreal 'Superstar false lash mascara' which is an absolute god sent and a pretty good drugstore bargain YAY! This mascara has two ends, a primer which you apply first and wait to dry then the actual mascara which I only apply one coat because the primer gives it the overall volume.

After that I apply the Estee Lauder's Bronze Goddess Bronzer in 02 Medium just to the apples of my cheeks and slightly into my temples, then I brush over my nose and forehead with any of the bronzer left on the brush just to make me look a little less dead. This has a slight shimmer so I don't really need to apply a highlighter.

And finally I apply my Mac lipstick in the shade 'Modesty' which is basically a your lip colour but better if that makes any sense at all.... It's basically a nude pink colour. And that's it! Pretty simple look if you want a minimal look or if you're in a hurry.

Here is the final look... brace yourselves you'll have to look at my oh so happy face.

Hope you enjoyed this post and leave me any feedback or if you'd like anymore details on the products used.

Bye Guys!

My Current Skincare Routine.

Hey guys!

So here's my current skincare routine for anyone who is having difficulty choosing what skincare regime to go for, or whether you are just looking to try something new.

After I remove my makeup from the day I like to use my Garnier makeup remover that has been featured in my previous beauty favourites; I then like to use the Clinique spot treatment collection. I suffer from skin redness and minor acne (I also have dry skin for anyone unsure of whether these products can be used on dry skin). I begin with splashing my face with warm water then I use the ant-blemish solution foam cleanser. I find this facial wash doesn't feel like its blocking up my pores because its foam based. I apply in circular motions and gently massage this into my face and neck. I then remove the cleanser with a Liz Earle muslin cloth.

I then move onto my Clarifying Lotion; I apply this all over my face and neck with a cotton pad. This step is to ensure there is no residue of makeup or facial wash left on my face which can enable more breakouts by sinking into your pores. I will admit this slightly burns but I do have very sensitive skin. With this said this lotion certainly gets rid of anything left on my skin.

I move onto the actual treatment and moisturiser after these steps are complete. I use the Liz Earle Superskin Concentrate on the delicate areas of my face, such as around the eye area. This product is oil based which may be slightly terrifying for the oily skin majority out there, but trust me this will sink into your skin and nourish the skin overnight and will reduce rough skin or bags under the eyes.

I finally move onto the all over Clearing Treatment. This is a moisturising treatment that I apply to the entire face and down my neck. This keeps my skin hydrated and calms and blemish or redness that occurs. This doesn't burn at all and is gentle enough for very sensitive skin. I apply this moisturiser day and night to ensure my skin is always well hydrated.

A side note for also treating spot prone skin is to drink plenty of water and use a clay mask twice a week depending on the skin type.

Hope this helped guys.
