GUEST POST: JESSICA, JESSICA'S JOURNAL

Hi lovelies! As some of you may know, I am currently away on holiday in Majorca this week, yay! So, as I didn't want to leave you all post-less, I am handing you over to my lovely guest bloggers.

Today's post is from Jessica from Jessica's Journal and it's all about some gorgeous summer lippies, enjoy!

Hello Everyone, I'm Jessica and today's guest blogger for Chloe. I've decided to share three of my favourite summer lip products which I'm using lots now and can see myself using lots over the Summer months!

The three I've chosen are Revlon Colourburst Lipgloss in 'Hot Pink', Benefit Bella Bamba Lipgloss and Mac Creme Cup Lipstick.

L-R: Hot Pink, Bella Bamba, Creme Cup

♥ Revlon Colourburst Lipgloss £7.99: This lipgloss definitely lives up to it's name. It's a vibrant, hot pink with lots of silver micro shimmer running through out it. This is amazingly pigmented and by far one of the most opaque glosses I own. It has a lovely formula which is non sticky and it leaves a pink stain after it's worn off.

♥ Benefit Bella Bamba £13: First off, I love the packaging it's just reminds me of Summer! This is a sheer, watermelon pink so perfect for popping over a variety of lipsticks for a sheen or to wear alone for a subtle bit of colour. It smells really fruity and has quite a thin formula so it does wear off fully after about an hour but in my opinion that's the only negative. I find it quite hydrating too which is nice when it's a bit hotter.

♥ Mac Creme Cup £14: I've never really been one for lighter pinks but after owning this for ages then finally trying it out after a long time of neglecting it I really do like it! It's a popular shade so I'm sure you've seen it before but it's a light pink without being too nude, it's a cremesheen finish (my favourite) so applies smoothly, doesn't dry my lips out and leaves them glossy!

So those are my current top three Summer lip products, I'd love to know what yours are!

GUEST POST: EM, EJVERX

Hi lovelies! As some of you may know, I am currently away on holiday in Majorca this week, yay! So, as I didn't want to leave you all post-less, I am handing you over to my lovely guest bloggers.
Today's post is by the gorgeous Em from ejverx and it's about these gorgeous high waisted denim shorts - make sure you pop over to her blog and say hello!

shorts: topshop

Helloooo! This is my first ever guest post so here goes the awkward introduction. I’m Emma and I blog over at ejverx.blogspot.co.uk, a beauty, fashion and lifestyle blog. I’ve been wanting to do a guest post for ages and I love Chloe’s blog so this seemed perfect :)

I set out this spring/summer with the goal of finding the perfect pair of denim shorts. I wanted some dark denim, high waisted, roll up shorts, and for months that seemed impossible. I thought Levi’s would be the perfect place but I have reaaaaally long legs, so none fitted me properly :( I thought I’d try Topshop but I didn’t hold out much hope as they seem to be notorious for short shorts (definite no-no for every day use!), but I was totally surprised. These shorts are literally exactly what I had in mind. They look so flattering on and are totally the perfect length. They actually do them in quite a few different colours now which is really awesome.

Denim shorts are such a staple piece to have in your wardrobe and I’m so happy I’ve found these! Have you guys found your perfect pair?

    Hello everybody! I'm Elizabeth from the style blog,Elegance. Today I'll be blogging as   a guest on Chloe's fabulous blog and I'm going to be sharing with you one of my favorite   outfits to wear for a night out. 
    When dressing for night I always start with one eye-catching piece and build my whole   look around it. I chose my black chiffon sequin top. I wanted to keep my outfit simple   and classy and I have a habit of gravitating towards all black everything. So I decided   to pair the white leather jacket with my black chiffon sequin top to give it some   contrast against the dark colored accessories.  
    I kept my jewelry simple to balance out the statement top and I finished off my look   by adding a envelope clutch and suede platform heels (they arevery easy to walk in and  actually quite comfortable) This look is great for parties, a date night, or going out  with your girlfriends! Be sure to stop by my blog and don't forget to follow Chloe!
         // What's your go-to look for a night out? // 

    XOXO

GUEST POST: BECA, THOSE MOMENTS OF SERENDIPITY

Hi lovelies! As some of you may know, I am currently away on holiday in Majorca this week, yay! So, as I didn't want to leave you all post-less, I am handing you over to my lovely guest bloggers.
Today's post is by Beca from Those Moments of Serendipity and it's all about how she did a gorgeous pink dip dye on her hair. Enjoy!

Hey everyone I'm Beca of Those Moments Of Serendipity and I blog all about beauty with a few bits of fashion and lifestyle thrown in as well, and I'm guest blogging to tell you all about how I've been summer-ing up my hair by adding stress free and near commitment free pink into my hair. Enjoy Sweeties!

For these past few weeks I've been missing my old habit of having bright colours like red, pink or purple mixed in with my blonde. So I thought I'd re-introduce a bit of pink back into my life! Check out my hair past...

To get my new pink bits I mixed about three heaped tablespoons of La Riche Directions Hair Dye in Pillarbox Red (poured and eyeballed) to a tub of deep conditioner, I used a Pantene Mask. I didn't use a pink dye as the conditioner tones the colour of the dye down.

To apply the dye I just used my fingers to rub in it, I made sure to wash my hands straight away and left the dye on for 5 minutes before rinsing it off.  Because it's non-permanent and diluted it should be totally gone from your hair in a week so feel free to experiment with other directions colours. Though if you're not sure about a colour test it on a strand first to avoid disasters.

I'd love it if you could check out my blog and please let me know if you try this and how you get on.

GUEST POST: SAMME, LOVE FROM SAMMIE

Hi lovelies! As some of you may know, I am currently away on holiday in Majorca this week, yay! So, as I didn't want to leave you all post-less, I am handing you over to my lovely guest bloggers.
Today's post is by Sammie from Love From Sammie and it's all about some gorgeous Summer lipsticks, enjoy!

Hi, I'm Sammie and I blog over at Love From Sammie. I blog about beauty, fashion and life. I started my blog back in October and I'm pretty proud about how far its come in under a year. I have an unhealthy obsession with shopping, whether its for clothes or makeup, there's always something waiting to be delivered to my house! Come take a look at my blog, I currently have a MAC giveaway on where you could win a lipstick of your choice!

Seems as Summer is meant to be here, I thought I would do a post on some lipsticks I've been loving over the warmer (supposedly!) months. All these lipsticks are from the high street, costing from £1-£9, so they are all very affordable and easy to get your hands on! For Summer, I love pinks! They are my all time favourite Summer colour I would say, with peach/orange colours coming up close behind. I also love nudes, I actually only own one nude right now, and even now I can't seem to find it, so I'm sorry for it not being in the photos above!

So, we have (L-R in first photo):

• Barry M - TMLP
• MUA Shade 15
• MUA Shade 4
• Miss Sporty Shade 059 - I Poke
• Bourjois Rouge Edition Shade 08 - Rose Studio
• Primark (No shade name)
• Apocalips Shade 102 - Nova

Barry M - TMLP

I've previously posted about this lipstick here. This is an amazing lipstick, I won't go into too much detail because of already having a post about it, but it turns your lips pink depending on how much alkali you have in your lips, or something like that! Its such a weird conception, but its one I love. Its sure to make a statement in any month, but as I said I love pinks for summer I thought I had to include it!

MUA - Shade 15

I love MUA lipsticks. They cost £1, and for that price, you can't go wrong. They haven't got amazing staying power or anything like that, but they do have a wide range of colours - two that are perfect for summer! This is kind of a peachy/nude colour which I love, I've not worn it much but it should be making its appearance this summer some time!

MUA - Shade 4

As I've said, I love pinks. This is a gorgeous colour, it was my first MUA buy and I've not looked back since. This was the colour that has made me go back and pretty much buy all of MUA's lipsticks! Its such a daytime colour, not so much night time unless you've got some amazing eye makeup on but nonetheless, its still one thats used a lot!

Miss Sporty - 059 I Poke
First of all, what a funny shade name, or is that just me? Oh well, its the colour that counts! This is a coral colour, it was my first coral that I ever bought, and it still is! I'm not quite brave enough to buy more yet but I've been wearing this more and more so I'm hoping I can soon brave the makeup counter and go and buy myself another shade! Miss Sporty's lipsticks are so cheap, and they have such a creamy consistency and they don't dry your lips out, which is what I love about their brand. I am such a lover of them because of the above points - they're amazing! Their staying power isn't too bad either!

Bourjois Rouge Edition - 08 Rose Studio

I won this in a Twitter giveaway - yaayy! I have previously posted about this here so I won't go into too much detail. I chose this to feature in this post because its pink, obviously! I also do think its a colour which can be transformed so easily from day to night, its a perfect summer colour!

Primark (Shade unknown)

I have also posted about this lipstick here, I love my lipsticks! This lipstick was from Primark, and unfortunately it doesn't have a shade name. Its so bright, and it is so easy to apply which was a bit of a shocker because of it being from Primark. It also stays on so well, I really wasn't expecting anything at all, but it stayed on for hours! What a buy. It cost £1 so its on par price wise as the MUA lipsticks, but should I go as far as saying I think this lipstick may be better? 

Apocalips - 102 Nova

Finally in my Summer Lipsticks post is the Apocalips lip lacquer in the shade Nova. I was pretty late in picking these up as I purchased them around two months after they were released. Every one in the world plus their dog has heard of these I'm sure, there was such a massive hype over these lip colours, some people not really loving them, others thinking they're the best. I do really like them, this was the colour I knew I had to get (again, because its pink!), but I've posted about these here - I also picked up Stellar and Nude Eclipse too.

What lipstick colours would you wear for Summer? Do you own any of the lipsticks featured in this post?

OPI LIQUID SAND, PUSSY GALORE

Hi lovelies! I hope you're all good, as some of you may know if you follow me on twitter/ instagram (chloesway on both), I'm going to Majorca for a week tomorrow and so I won't be posting next week! I thought about scheduling posts all week and I might do a couple, but I thought instead, why not hand my blog over to a few of my lovely followers! I thought it would be great way for a few girls to get their blog out there to some new people and that way, if any of you have any questions or comments about the post, the girls will be around on their blogs and twitter for you to ask and chat to! I still have room for a couple more guest bloggers, but will need posts by TONIGHT (Monday 10th June), so get in touch on chloe@chloesway.com asap if you're interested!

Anyway, I have a review of a product I'm very excited about today! It's the OPI Liquid Sand polish in 'Pussy Galore', the cheeky name is down to the fact it's from the Bond Girls OPI collection. I'm not a James Bond fan, so was a bit shocked at the name until I realised! So, this polish is a little different to a normal glitter polish as it actually dries matte. You don't need a topcoat with this, so it has a textured finish which is really cool! This particular shade is a gorgeous frosty light pink that is just far too pretty to capture on camera. It dries to a very matte finish but has tiny little fuchsia coloured glitters in it, which is so pretty! This is opaque in just two coats and I use it with a base coat first, but as I said, no top coat!

This was a very easy to use polish as it goes on really nicely and dries very quickly! If you paint your nails well and tip the ends, I'd say you'd get a good few days without chipping (provided you don't use your hands too much at work like I do!!) but as I'm going on holiday, I thought it'd be a good time to use this, as it's a gorgeous colour that will go with everything and touch ups are so easy, as if you do get a little chip, it's not too noticeable if you need to fill it in! This is the only polish I'm bringing away with me as I love it so much! This is also super easy to get off considering it's a textured, glitter finish - yay!

What do you think? Is this something you'd like to try? Let me know!
I'm now off to finish packing, I'll miss you all very much while I'm away and will be back with lots of photos next week! Please keep checking back for my lovely guest bloggers this week!

DRESS UP LIKE HIPSTERS AND MAKE FUN OF OUR EXES

Cardigan - Bank
Top - River Island

Skirt - Topshop
Boots - Ebay

What? What?! I'm doing another outfit post? Is this real life? I tell you, this good weather's doing something to me. Sorry for the lack of too much face in these photos, the sun was so bright I literally looked as though I had no face, it was frightening. So anyway this is an outfit I wore out shopping the other day and I just love it. I finally caved and got the denim skater skirt from Topshop, I'd looked at it pretty much every time I went in until my boyfriend Darren (who is my most regular shopping partner), must've got so bored of looking at the same skirt in every Topshop we went in and was like 'for God's sake just get it!'. So I did, and I'm so glad I did! This skirt literally goes with so much and can definitely be dressed up or down depending on what you're doing. If you've been thinking about getting this skirt - do it!

It was really nice to be able to go out in such a simple, summery outfit. This weather's been lovely! I bought this cardigan from Bank the other day and it's so perfect for the summer time. As this is England and we don't have gorgeous sunshine everyday, and then when we do, it's windy. Really windy. So a little jacket or cardigan is essential! I think this one will be great for on holiday in the evenings too as it sometimes gets cooler and if it's even slightly cool/ breezy, I'm going to put a cardigan on, I do not do cold. At all.

Anyway, let me know what you think of this outfit in a comment, I'd love to hear your thoughts!
