New Years Resolutions.....

Yerrpp I said it new years resolutions, and it's one of those things everyone says their gonna do but don't follow through... which one of the reasons I have never done them before! But there a few realistic goals I want to do, achieve and constantly do. So I'm gonna do this post for my self so I have it written down somewhere and proof that I said I would do it and can't go back on my word ;)
First of all is my blog, now I've never actually set myself a schedule on when I'm going to post. My motto was ill post when I wanna! And this wasn't the most practical so I'm gonna make a schedule!  What this is gonna be is 3 posts a week, Makeup Monday which is makeup post obviously! Whatever Wednesdays which is a post on whatever I want could be a DIY, skin care, routines, home stuff or could be an extra fashion or makeup post! Then Fashion Friday which is posts on oodts, fashion forecasts, how to styles and wishlists! So this is what I have wanted to do for a long time and I'm finally doing it and I think it would make me feel a lot better about my posts and blog in total!
Next I want to do well in all my uni interviews and get excepted then in September actually go to uni! Pretty simple but hard to do! And so exciting too!
Now this one is like a cliché new years resolution but it's to get fit and healthy but I can't even walk up the stairs without getting out of breathe! So I'm going to the gym, start running (again) and gonna stop eating... dare I say it... but stop eating shitty food! Trust me guys I will do it ;)
This one if my mum reads it will be shocked about but I want to try and keep my room as tidy as possible and not let it look like a wreck, and I really like my room tidy but sometimes I just get too lazy which needs to stop! Even tho..... It most probably.... won't!
I not a person who only focus' on how many followers I have and only strive to get the max amount, I'm not! But I do like to set my self milestones as it gives me somthing to post for and It also tells me people like my posts and my blog and they want to see more! So this goal of 300 is only for GFC which is on the right side bar if you want to go follow me know if you haven't already! ^_^

So I didn't pick too many as I most probably wont do them I will forget, but there is gonna end up being one really big main goal that I've forgotten but I really can't remember right now! But let me know what your resolutions are this year, and if any of them are the same as mine!

The Spring Has Sprung Tag!

Over here in England Spring, unfortunately has not sprung yet. It's raining outside! Even though it is April so April showers are expected, however outside right now I don't think its a shower, more like a storm! Anyway onto the tag, I've seen this one float around many blog's and youtube's and I really like the questions so I did it pretty much. I was going to wait until it really gets Springy here but I doubt that's going to happen!
So first of all I did a video on this tag which you can watch if you click on the picture, that's if I linked it right ;) But if you would rather read my answers keep reading...

Spring Has Sprung Tag Questions! 

 Question 1.

What are some spring trends you're looking forward to the most?

I really like all he pastel colour even though they most probably wont look good on me because I'm really pale. But I also love the festival fashion which has come back a few years now and excelled as a style!

Question 2.

What's your favourite spring clothing piece?

Oooh kimonos are my all time favourite! They are so easy to wear and come in so many amazing patterns.

Question 3.

What do you do during spring break?

Well in England we don't have a spring break but we have an Easter holiday which could be our vision. But I do not do anything in particular, I just see family, hang with friends and chill.

Question 4.

Is it warm or cold in Spring where you live?

Well its raining outside and its windy so its pretty cold!

Question 5.

What is your favourite spring lip colour?

Anything bright and neon, bright pinks are my favourite! Oh and pastel colours like the ones from lime crime.

Question 6.

Favourite spring nail polish colour?

Again anything bright and summery so bright pinks pale blues, like these Avon nail polishes I just reviewed! - http://tinyurl.com/p4pmk6s

Question 7.

Favourite spring colour?

I think you may know, but just encase its bright pink! ;) 

Question 8.

Favourite starbucks drink during spring?

I don't actually go to starbucks as I think its too overpriced and I don't like tea or coffee! But for any drink it would be lemonade.

Question 9.

Do you add colour to your make-up for spring?

Yes I do, I would do a brighter lip and blush, I don't do much different with my eye shadow. But recently I've been wearing blue mascara!

Question 10.

What are you most excited for spring 2014?

My birthday which is on the 6th of May and I'm going to be 17 like holy smokes! I'm kinda excited ehe!

So I hope you all go do this tag if you haven't already and have an awesome amazing day!

Urban Decay Ammo Palette - Review!!

So the ammo palette has been out for ages and over a year ago they made another new one, same as the first but basically revamped it! So I got this palette for my birthday last May and I have had a lot of time to use it and get a great impression on this product. Like the original, the palette had ten of Urban Decays best-selling shades. These varying from neutrals to vivid colours. These are in the shades...
  • Smog – Deep copper bronze shimmer.
  • Mildew – Mossy green shimmer with golden undertones.
  • Oil Slick – Deep matte black with silver micro glitter.
  • Last Call – Metallic plum.
  • Chopper – Copper shimmer with silver micro glitter.
  • Maui Wowie – Metallic golden beige with silver glitter.
  • Shattered – Turquoise shimmer with gold shift.
  • Polyester Bride – White snow shimmer with silver micro glitter.
  • Grifter – Sheer lavender shimmer with silver micro glitter.
  • Sin – The best-selling champagne shimmer.

The quality of these shadows are amazing... its made by Urban Decay what do you expect! So they revamped it, but the colours are the same? What they did is re-designed the formula of the shadow itself, the shadows are more velvety then before. The pigmentation is flawless and the colours blend effortlessly. I find that the shadows last around 8-9 hours on my lids with a primer, which for me, is seriously great because I have really oily lids. 

As well as renewing the formula they changed the packaging, got rid of the old sponge-tip applicator (which I hate!) for a mini-eyeshadow brush and also added a sample-sized tube of their primer potion too.
Urban Decay Ammo 2 Palette
Like the original palette, the eyeshadows are displayed the same they are divided into two rows. What I like most about they way they are laid out is that they have put recommended colours together which can help a lot, or you can mix them together if you wish. Each of the columns makes a duo. My favorites are chopper and sin! 
Compared the the original, the newer one seems to have less fall out because of the formula and they last longer. But aside from that and the new packaging was it really worth making a updated version of this palette. I know a lot of people whom have reviewed this feel the same! Instead of doing  this they should have just invested in making a new palette or something new!? 


But if you don't have this palette at all I would defiantly recommend it to you as it is defiantly worth the money! Even though it is a lot smaller than you would think, but I've had it nearly a year and have used it a lot a lot! So it dose last a long time. It is price at £24 at Debenhams which is where I got mine from.
I hope you liked this review and found it helpful! If you would like more reviews let me know and leave a comment on your thoughts on this palette! Until next time have an awesome amazing day...

The Lipstick Tag!

So not so long ago I got tagged by the lovely Courtney from Wonders Of Dream Blog! So definatly go check her blog out, follow and tell her I sent you ;) Eheh so onto the tag, I haven't done one like this before so I'm pretty excited! I wear lip gloss more than lipstick but Courtney's soo nice she said that I can add some of them in too, but these are glosses that give lots of colour and are not sheer ones. 

How Many Lipsticks Do You Own???

24 I think I counted I'm not to sure ahah...
7 from MUA, 2 from Barry M like ages ago, 2 from No7, 4 chubby sticks from Ted Baker, 4 lip crayons from 17, 3 Intense Kisses Lipgloss from MUA, Nivea Pearl Shine, and a random black one from god knows where aha!

What Was The First Lipstick You Owned??

Most probably one from Miss Sporty when I was about 8ish and I only wore it on special occasions ;) I also think that was my first ever bit of makeup too, which I think I got for Christmas in a little set!

What Is Your Favourite Lipstick Brand???

Cause Im a cheap skate I would say MUA, their main collection of lipsticks are only £1 like how can you get any better than that! The colour pay off is great and they last a long time for the price that you pay. As well as that they have different types of lipsticks you can get (I really want to try some from the Luxe collection) And they also have a wide range of colours for every person. 

These are my MUA ones not too sure what shades they are in but if you would like to know then gimme a shout and I'll find out! Also I got three new ones which I'm super excited to use for the summer!

What Is Your Most Worn Lipstick??

I think it would have to be these bad boys which are the Ted Baker chubby sticks. I got them in a Christmas set 2 Christmas' ago from boots and they do them every year in different colours. To be fair they are just the same as the clinque ones there is no difference, the colour pigmentation is about the same and the lasting quality is too. They work in the same way with the little twisty thing at the bottom to get the product out, and trust me there is a lot of chubby stickiness there ;) 




What Is your Favourite Red Lipstick??? 

Well who do you guys think its by?? ;) ahah you guessed it MUA there red lipstick in shade 13 i think! Is the only red lipstick I have so it has to be my favorite!

What Is your Favourite Finish??

Shine or gloss, really anything thats not matte... sorry Courtney ;) 

How Many Lip Products Do You Have In Your Bag???

None really if I was wearing a lipstick that day I would just put it on in the morning then just let it wear off. Im too lazy to put it back on aha. 

How Do You Store You Lipsticks??

I store them in my second draw in my dressing table. I put in this draw my face products so foundation, concealers, powders, blush and bronzers. As well as one tray full of my lip glosses, chubby sticks and lip liners then to the left I have my lipsticks which I have put upside down so I can see the colours.
Which Lipstick Are You Currently Lusting For???

Well I think any girl who loves makeup wants a Mac lipstick, this is something I am not only just lusting for I am craving and would die for! The colour I think I'm going to buy first would be Mac rebel!

My Bedroom Wishlist!

So my bedroom has been in the decorating stage for ages now, and soon (hopefully if my dad remembers ;) will get complete! So i made to little boards on polyvore of some of the things I hope to get for my room and some are just inspiration!

So the way my room is being decorated is sorter a modern shabby chic, french boudoir. So the colours are black white and hot pink. In these little mood boards you cant really see any hot pink that's because I already have one wall in wall paper that colour so I feel I don't need anymore. I used to have a rug and curtains in that colour but It kinda gave me a head ache cause it was way to pink ;) 
My Bedroom Wishlist!






Bedroom Wishlist #2




I hope you like these little mood board thingys I made on polyvore and I also hope that this post gave you so inspiration on what you may design your room like or help you find a chair or 
pillow that you like ^_^ 

I cant wait to get my room finished and when it is if you would like to see a room tour I would be happy to share it with you guys! So until next tome have an awesome amazing day...
