Bright, Affordable, Wearable, and Beautiful Spring Lipsticks

The other day when I was searching through my lipstick collection I realized most of my colors were nude pinks… yeah not very springy at all. So, of course I did what anyone with an addiction to makeup would do, went to the nearest drugstore (in this case CVS), and stocked up on some fun spring lipsticks! I bought four Lipsticks; all bright, affordable, wearable, and beautiful! This post is going to be a show and tell for all these lovely lipsticks, hope you enjoy!

The Colors

(Swatches in order from Top to Bottom)

(Lipstick pictures starting at top left going Clockwise)

Maybelline Color Sensational Shade 525 Peachy Scene~ A vibrant coral shade more towards the red side of the spectrum, that glides on easily with a bit of shine

L'oreal Color Riche Shade 135 Ballerina Shoes~ A bright baby pink shade with a rich formula and tons of shine

Revlon Super Lustrous Shade 120 Apricot Fantasy~ A pale peachy orange shade with a smooth application and a bit of shine

L'oreal Color Riche Shade 140 Mauved~ A brighter than classic rosey toned mauve shade, with a rich formula and tons of shine

Peachy Scene

This is the perfect vibrant coral lipstick from Maybelline, very nice for spring and summer when you want that pop of color! The price is right, only $7.49 and it has a very nice color payoff for such a bright shade. The packaging is not my favorite based purely on looks, but it is fully functional and I haven't had any problems with it. For this lipstick especially, it's what's inside that counts!

Ballerina Shoes

This lipstick from L'oreal is my favorite of the bunch. Light pinks are my favorite lip shades to wear, and this color gives me a beautiful Barbie doll lip effect! I love the quality of L'oreal lipsticks, very rich and smooth. Also, the rose gold packaging is to die for; so beautiful and the the cap snaps right in place without budging. At $8.95 you will defiantly get your money's worth with this lipstick!

Apricot Fantasy

This Revlon peachy orange lipstick adds a fun girly element to any makeup look! I've been seeing the orange lip trend for this spring quiet a bit so I thought I would jump on the bandwagon and give it a try! The pale undertones and smooth finish makes orange lips easy to pull off for an everyday look, and at $7.99 who could resist? The only downside to this lipstick is the packaging; bland and boring, and I have been having issues with the cap sliding off in my purse, pretty annoying. But, other than that this lipstick is a nice color for people experimenting with orange lips!

Mauved

This is NOT just a plain, classic, mauve lipstick from L'oreal, but one that is bright, with a rosy shine, a must have in your spring lip collection. Such a pretty rosy color with the amazing, rich, smooth, formula and beautiful packaging of L'oreal. When creating girly, glowing, makeup looks I will definitely reach for this shade and at $8.95 it's just perfect!

I hope this post gave you some inspiration on how to stock up for the spring with bright, affordable, wearable, and beautiful lipsticks! I had a lot of fun choosing these colors and showing them to you! The link to my favorite shade is in Chloe's These are a Few of my Favorite Things if you want to check that out. (By the way NOTHING in this post is sponsored). Keep an eye out for my next post, it's going to include a giveaway! Until next time, have a great day!

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

Valentine's day Hair, Makeup & Outfit

Today I am going to show you how I created this Valentine's day look that has a soft, pretty, romantic feel to it. I am going to first show step by step how I did my makeup. Then, explain how I achieved the loose french side braid in my hair. Last, I am going to explain what I put together to make up the outfit. Lets get started!

For the makeup I started by applying my Roc Daily moisturizer. (All products mentioned that are available will be linked at the bottom).

Then I put on the Neutrogena skin clearing liquid makeup in shade 60, Natural beige.

After that I used the Maybelline Fit Me concealer in the color 20, Sand under my eyes.

I used the Neutrogena shine control powder in color 10, Invisible to set all the makeup.

To warm up my face I applied my Milani illuminating face powder in the shade 02 Hermosa Rose.

Then I filled in my brows with the Maybelline brow pencil in the color deep brown.

Then, I put Maybelline's color tattoo, which is a cream eyeshadow in shade 70, Barely branded all over my eyelids.

For the powder eye shadow I started by putting the left color in the L'oreal Hip studio Secrets crystal eyeshadow duo in the color 819 Precious all over my lid and a little in the crease.

The next colors I used were from the Urban decay Naked 3 palette. First I used the color Strange to brighten the inner corners of my eyes.

Next I used the color Buzz in the crease of my eyes, (The color on the left). Afterwords I used the color Burnout (The color on the right), right under the crease and on the outer half of my eye and blended.

To finish up the eyes I applied the Covergirl clump crusher extensions mascara.

Here's what the eyes look like when they are finished.

We're not done yet for the makeup! For my lipstick I used the Maybelline color sensational lipstick in the color 705 Twinkle.

Then for a gloss I used the Maybelline color sensational lipgloss in the color 20 Glisten up.

Now the makeup is complete!

This makeup look is very feminine and sweet with the hints of pink and gold in the eye shadow, the soft pale pink lips, and long lashes. Perfect for a Valentine's day date.

For my hair I started off with a Macadamia oil and ran it through my hair to smooth it out.

Then I teased my hair a little bit at the crown with the Aussie you can shine hairspray for some volume.

For the hairstyle I started braiding like a regular french braid except going in the direction to one side of my head.

I then pulled the braid all the way over my shoulder and finished it off like a regular side braid.

To give the hairstyle a finishing touch I added a cream bow I got from Claire's in the back.

This hairstyle is a pretty, girly, twist on the traditional french braid, and the bow in the back completes the hairstyle perfectly.

Now onto the outfit! I absolutely love my pale pink peplum that I got from Charlotte Russe. It gives the outfit that Valentine's Day feel because of the pretty color. The knit cream colored sweater I put over the shirt to keep warm is from Hollister. It gives the outfit a sweet carefree feel because it is a bit oversized and flows so nicely. My light wash jeggings are from Hollister, lately I have been in love with light wash jeans!

This silver heart neckless is from Lia Sophia. It is perfect for Valentine's day with the whole hearts theme! Lastly, my gold flats are from payless. These shoes are much more comfortable then heels, and give the outfit the glittering touch it needs.

I hope that you enjoyed the Valentine's Day Hair, Makeup, and Outfit idea. I had so much fun creating this look! Comment below what you are going to wear/wore this Valentines day, and have a Happy Valentines day!
