Photo: TotalFratMove.com

I’m going to share with you my New Year’s resolutions for 2014. I was going to just do it for beauty, but I thought it might be more interesting if I included some personal ones too.

BEAUTY

1. Learn to create a wing using eyeliner

2. Get better at using all types of eyeliner

3. Paint my nails more often

4. Sort through my collection and minimise it

5. Use more products/use up more products

6. Hold a blog sale

7. Donate to GiveAndMakeUp

PERSONAL

1. Exercise more

2. Get in shape

3. Try more foods (asparagus etc)

4. Get my bedroom re-decorated

5. Get a helix piercing

6. Read more books

7. Blog more (3 posts a week)

I don’t know if I will stick to every single one, but I will give it a good go. Let me know what things you would like to see on my blog, to enable me to create more and varied content.

What are your resolutions for the coming year?

My Eye Primers: The Verdict!

It has taken me a long time to put this altogether, but I have finally done it! I decided I wanted to share my thoughts on eye primers I had tried and it turned out that I had ten, so I thought I would test them and find out which one worked best for me. I have split them into two categories (High End/Low End) and I aim to rank them from #1 to #10 on which is the longest wearing. Let’s look at the primers I will be testing. HIGH END URBAN DECAY PRIMER POTION PRICE: £17.50 SIZE: 10ml SHADES: Original, Anti-ageing, Freebase, Eden, Fix, Minor Sin, Sin and Caffeine APPLICATION: Squeeze tube without a nozzle, but also has a sponge stick applicator PROMISES: Non-creasing, gives you vibrant eyeshadows WHERE TO BUY: UrbanDecay.co.uk (UK) & Sephora (USA) I like to think that this primer is my favourite as I love the packaging (purple is my favourite colour). It is potion bottle inspired and it is the first primer I remember ever seeing and wanting. The packa...

This 100ml size is my first bottle of it though, other than the tester/sample size. The bottle is quite tall and it is a sort of clutch bag shape if you turn it on its side. The bottle is a simple design and you can easily see how much perfume you have. On mine the spray pump sometimes gets stuck in the band around the neck of the bottle, but the problem is easily solved. I can’t find a specific note list anywhere for this perfume, but on Next’s site it is described as, "a light fruity fragrance with white florals and green notes". To me it smells really fruity and fresh. It is also multifunctional because it is quite strong and sexy, so perfect for a night out, but it is also not too overpowering and smells fresh and fruity enough for day time wear. It is actually an eau de toilette, which means that it is less concentrated, but I find that it is st...
