Goals for 2014

So it's the start of a new year and that means it's time to make some new goals. Now I'm pretty happy with what I achieved last year. I got a new job and went on holiday abroad for the first time. Although not all were successful, I look forward to seeing how I get on with the goals I have for this year.

1) To use what make-up I have before buying more. 

I've got a growing collection of make-up, especially lipsticks! My aim for this year is to save a bit on make-up products and use the ones I have. I know that if I look through my draws I can find some make-up products that I've totally forgot about. I think this is a great goal to help save money which also helps with my next goal I've set.

2) To move out of my parents house.

This has been my goal for a couple of years now but due to different reasons it has never happened. However I have a feeling this is the year. I've recently been accepted for a new job meaning more hours! So with this in mind hopefully I can find a lovely place with my friend and start my own little journey.

3) To plan things to do.

I love going on holiday and days out and this year I want to enjoy myself. So this year I want to plan things which I can do with family or friends. Whether that's going to a concert, days out to the seaside or a holiday abroad. With things plan I can then enjoy my year knowing I have things to look forward to.

4) To blog more.

Now this has been a goal of mine for a little while now. I would love to blog more however some days when I'm off work I just don't have the motivation. I need to kick my ass into gear and start planning blog post so I have something to write about. Also dedicating a certain amount a time a week to blogging may also help me to write more posts.

So they are my four goals, may add to them during the year if I think of anything else.

What are your goals for this year?

Make-Up Haul

I went shopping with my friend a week or so ago now and picked up a few bits. I did go with the intentions to buy Christmas presents, which I did get but also got a few bits for me! I bought some clothes as well but will do a separate post about them.

It's only a small haul as I didn't want to buy a lot as I'm not sure what I'll get for Christmas.

First off I went into Superdrug and repurchased Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation as I really like it and how it brightens up my face and isn't too thick and heavy. I then bought Collection Extreme 24 Hour Felt Tip Liner after reading a review ages ago. I'd been meaning to buy it months ago but never got around to it, plus I couldn't remember the exact name of it. I love these kind of applicators as it makes it so much easier to apply. I'm rubbish at applying eye liner at the best of time but this really helps me!

Last but not least I then went into Topshop. I have to say I don't really go into Topshop too often as I find it quite expensive, but I thought that I would treat myself! First thing I did was so to the make-up section of their shop. I love their make-up and also packaging as it's quite quirky. I already have one of their lipsticks from a giveaway I won ages ago and wanted to buy another one. After much consideration as they have so many different shades I finally ended up choosing this beauty! The shade is called "Boom Boom" and I love the way it looks on my lips. It's bright but not too bright if that makes sense, and helps to brighten up my face. I did a swatch of the shade as the picture above isn't very clear.

So that is all I bought on my make-up haul and I'm definitely looking into getting another Topshop lipstick very soon. I did take a glance at their make-up giftsets so maybe after Christmas I might buy one.
