Aquatic Blue Eyes // Recreating a Look from YouTuber Chloe Morello

The beauty of YouTube and blogs is the chance to get inspired by makeup looks that I wouldn’t have had access to otherwise. I am a big fan of Chloe Morello on YouTube, and when I saw her aquatic eyes tutorial using a Sigma palette, the urge to follow along with the tutorial was unstoppable. I pulled out the products I thought I needed, and set to work trying to follow Chloe’s makeup look.

So many eye brushes for this look!

 

 

How do you think I went at recreating the Aquatic Blue Eyes look? Do you use YouTube tutorials for inspiration as well? I’d love to know who your favourite YouTubers are so I can follow some new ones!

Schick Hydro Silk Razor // Product Review

I've always chosen shaving as my preferred method of hair removal, and was excited to hear about the new razor release from shaving big guns Schick.

The Hydro Silk razor boasts some pretty impressive features such as 5 new curve-sensing blades, ergonomic handle and water-activated serum, all designed to fit the lifestyle and contours of a woman's body. I love the smooth shave that the 5 blades bring to the table, most of the razors I've used only have 3 and the difference is really noticeable.

The razor comes in blue and purple themed packaging, with an extra razor head and a suction grip holder for the shower. I love these extras as there is nothing more frustrating than having nowhere to safely store your razor!

The razor's handle is sleek and very aquatic, the grip section is a welcomed addition (I need all the help I can get with things used in the shower, I'm prone to dropping everything!) and I like that Schick have stepped away from the typical pink design for women. The razor is a little bulkier than others I've tried, but the way it shaves cleanly around the knees and ankles more than makes up for that.

My very favourite feature is the water-activated moisturising serum! It's not like the regular 'moisturising' bars that usually surround the blades of razors, which I think often feel quite rough and don't lubricate the skin well. I find this serum much nicer, it acts like a light shaving gel and doesn't dry my skin out at all. I generally only shave whilst in the shower, so the water-activated features suit me to a tee. I tried this without any other shaving gel and it was quite comfortable, which surprised me. I still prefer to use a shaving gel, however.

At the end of the day, the main things you want from a razor are a close and comfortable shave, a cute design and no nicks or dryness. I am happy to report that Schick has ticked each of those boxes with the new Hydro Silk razor, and I will be repurchasing new razor heads when I've used up the two I have currently.

The Schick Hydro Silk razor retails for $14.25AUD at Coles, Woolworths, selected pharmacies and Priceline.
