March 2014 Favorites


Yes, I know I'm a little late, but better late then never!  Today I have for you all a post on my March favorites!  I am going to show you some of my favorite beauty products and fashion items that I have been loving this march.  First, I have the March 2014 favorites video from my youtube; Beautyybychloe and then I have pictures of the products which I will explain more in depth in this post.  Lastly, all the products mentioned that are still available will be linked in the section of my blog titled Chloe's These are a few of my Favorites Things.  So, lets begin!  



In this video I will explain all of my favorite products from march!  I hope you enjoy! 


My first favorite of this month is the Bath and Body works sent Paris amour.  As you can see I got a bit carried away!  I bought the soap, body mist, lotion, and hand sanitizer.  The packaging is adorable, pink with bows and an Eiffel tower, definitely my style!  Also, all the product is pink!  This sent is described as "a dreamy blend of French tulips, apple blossoms, and sparkling pink champagne touched with sandalwood and creamy musk".  It is a perfect spring sent, the strongest notes are the tulips and pink champagne.  The name fits the sent perfectly, and whenever I use the body spray or soap I think; this is what paris must smell like! I have been using all these products daily and love smelling like Paris amour!



Next I have a haircare favorite, the Tresemm'e Keratin Smooth Flat Iron smoothing spray.  This product I spray onto my hair before I blow-dry, straighten, or curl my hair and it really makes a difference!  I have found that while using this my hair is smoother, softer, and has more volume.  The main ingredient is keratin, which is what makes this spray so great, keratin is amazing for your hair and makes is softer, smoother, and more healthy.  After trying this and seeing the results I have switched most of my products to Keratin based ones and my hair is looking much healthier already! 


Now lets talk mascara, this month has been a good lash month for sure!  I have been using the Maybelline Falsies volume express mascara in the waterproof formula.  I won this mascara from the lookbranche  blog giveaway and I have fallen in love with it! The brush is shaped like a C for max volume and coating every lash, and formula makes my lashes darker while giving  them loads of volume!  When I wear this mascara my lashes are big enough to the point where they almost look like falsies!  Another great thing is that I don't have  a problem with clumping either, which earns this mascara a 10 out of 10 in my book! 


The next favorite I have for this month is the Sephora collection double ended retractable brush.  On one end is a medium sized powder brush and on the other end is an angled brush about the same size.  I use the powder end to apply my blush and I use the angled end to apply my bronzer.  What I love about this brush besides the fact that is two brushes in one, is the fact that it is super soft and at the same time very durable, at the affordable price of 22$!  In the future I will be purchasing more brushes from the Sephora collection because I love the softness and durability of them, and I would definitely recommend you trying out some Sephora brushes for yourself!


My last Beauty favorite is the Sally Handson complete salon manicure polish in the shade 470 Red my lips.  It is safe to say that the entire line of Sally Handson complete salon manicure polish is my favorite polish I have discovered so far!  The colors are so brilliant, the finish  is comparable to a gel polish, and it dries pretty quick!  These polishes don't even need a second coat!  When I first tried a color from this line I was amazed at the vibrancy of the color and the gel like finish so I bought another, and another, and another, and now I'm at the point where I hardly use any other polish that is not from the line!  The color I have been wearing this month is shade 470 Red my lips.  It is a perfect shade of red, not to dark or bright, a nice classic shade.  I love this line of polish and  Red my lips is one of my favorites, I just feel so classy with red nails!

 



Statement necklaces are hot these season, I have been seeing them everywhere!  So I decided to buy a few of my own, and my favorite one this month has been this one with white flowers from the store Love Culture.  It is the perfect size, not too over powering for my neck.  I love wearing flowers  for the spring so of course this necklace is one of my favorites!  I  have had a lot of fun pairing it with some of my favorite blouses like the one shown below, and it adds the perfect spring touch to my outfits!


My last favorite is this light blue spring blouse that I bought from the store Love Culture.  Basically in the spring all I wear is blouses so I love finding new ones!  This blouse is made of a nice light material, great for those warmer days.  A unique and perhaps my favorite part about this blouse is the sleeves.  They are off the shoulder, puffed out sleeves and there are two spaghetti straps holding the top up, so adorable!  And the color, gorgeous!  I have also found a lot of cloths in this light blue color  that I adore for the spring!  This top is the picture of spring and I have been loving it this month!


I hope you enjoyed my March 2014 favorites and leave a comment below telling me what your favorites are this month, or a link to a blogpost you wrote or video you filmed about your favorites because I would love to check it out!  Also, tell me what you think about my favorites, and we can chat in the comments section!♡Chloe

New Youtube channel // Spring hair tutorial & ways to wear and personalize it




Hi every one! I have some very exciting news…… I started a youtube channel!!!  The channel is called Beautyybychloe and it's on Beauty, Fashion & Lifestyle just like my blog!  All you lovely readers can subscribe to my channel HERE.  It would make my day if even a couple of you subscribed!  Now what I am going to do on top of regular blogposts is make blogposts that go along with my videos, where you watch the video and get a little extra from the post or vise versa!  This post today is going to be the very first of that kind, the video shows you how to create my favorite spring time hairstyle and this blogpost explains different ways to wear and personalize the look.

Warm spring days call for pretty, girly, easy, hair styles that keep the hair out of your face in the beautiful weather.  So today I have for you a tutorial on one of my favorite springtime hairstyles that fits  that description exactly and how to wear and personalize the look!  First, here's the tutorial!




This hairstyle is so pretty with the soft curls, and the pastel pink bow that I got from Claire's adds a girly and fun element to the look that perfectly captures the feeling of spring.  A great option for those warm spring days where you want your hair out of your face and are tired of the same old boring pony tail. 


  A great thing about this hairstyle is it's not to formal or casual, so it can be worn almost anywhere. Here are some ideas of places to wear this hairstyle and ways to style it:

 ~Out to lunch, paired with a sundress and sandals for a girly dressed up look. 
  
~For a walk on the beach, paired with a floral skirt and sunglasses for a carefree beach vibe.

~To school, paired with a pastel blouse and light wash jeans for a sweet and simple spring look.  


This hairstyle is versatile and the hair accessories are of your choice.  
Here are some other ideas of hair accessories that can be worn with this look besides my choice of the  pink bow:

   ~Flower clips 

~ A ribbon

~ A headband

~Barrettes 

I hope you enjoyed the video and post!  Now you know how to create my favorite spring time hairstyle!  Be sure to subscribe to my brand new youtube channel and tell me in the comments how and where you would wear this look!  Until next time!
