2014 Beauty Goals


Picture from link
The other day I posted my goals for 2014, I decided to write a quick list of my beauty resolutions, I am obsessed with beauty and clothes and makeup as is every #bblogger and some times you need to set yourself a few guidelines.

Picture from Link

  1. Mascaras, I can only open one every three months, even if I buy or receive ones within the same three months I must not open it till the one I am using dries up or the three months is up. The only exception to this rule is when a mascara is so awful and gives you eyelashes to give Spidermans webs a run for his money you may dispose of it in the bin and open a new one.

  2.  What looks good on other people/bloggers, may not look good on you, try things on and stop shopping with your eyes. Remember you are a midget with really short legs and mini skirts are maxi skirts on you.
  3. Find a moisturiser that works for you and stop going back to your "old reliable" it does not work for you and is no longer reliable.
  4. Learn to use liquid eyeliner, gel liner is not the be all and end all.
  5. Review your brushes you have over 200 of them let people how good or bad they are.

  6. Bigger brows are better, no matter what crazy thoughts come into your head! Remember how long it took to grow them back!
  7. Bring a makeup bag everywhere, you never know where you end up or what might happen. If you forget your foundation again, a little improvisation with concealer, powder and moisturiser works wonders. 
  8. Dare say you may forget it all always carry a spare eyebrow pencil because you can go anywhere with no makeup but not with no eyebrows.
  9. Find a good shampoo and conditioner buy a stockpile of them because remember what happened to Avon Argan Oil Shampoo, actually in general remember what happened to all of Avon!
  10. You must use who a whole eye shadow this year and not the one you use on your brows and not any black eye shadows either.

Hope you like my beauty goals of 2014!

Another work makeup face. I try to keep it all about the eyes in work as going for a strong lip is no use as it gets so busy I never get to top up the lippy. So smokey eyes and nude lips work best.

Face: L'Oreal True Match in D1
Powder: Maybelline Fit Me in 125
Blush: Sephora Blush Orange Punchy
Contour: Inglot Pressed Powder in 17
Eyeliner: Maybelline Gel Liner in Black

Eyebrows: Inglot Matte 348
Lips: Elf Party Pink and Essence clear gel gloss/ Elf Nearly Nude and Essence Clear Gel Gloss

Urban Decay Naked Basic Palette - First Impressions

This might surprise some of you but this is actually the first piece of urban decay makeup that I have ever owned. I won this palette on Lisa's wonderful blog www.misslisa.co.uk. At first impression I was shocked at how small it is, the palette is even smaller then my phone and I easily lose my phone in my bag so imagine this.
 It is a great little everyday palette, with five mattes and one shimmer. It can easily transform into a night time palette with the help of Crave and make a classic smokey eye.

I tried swatching them on my arm but the pay off from Foxy and W.O.S was not great, but I will not know for fully till I do a look with them how pigmented they are. Crave felt very chalky and I expect a good bit of fallout from it. 

Over all I am looking forward to using the palette and trying out some looks which I will of  course feature on the blog.

 Venus (Shimmer) 

Foxy (Matte)
 W.O.S (Matte)

Naked 2 (Matte)

Faint (Matte)

 Crave (Matte)
