A Standard January 1st Post

(This is my motto of 2013)

Hello Everyone,

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas & New Year. I wanted to sneak this post in as I have had such a busy Christmas that I have barely posted and I personally love to read about other peoples thoughts on the past year and their resolutions for the year ahead! If you have been a follower of mine this year, you will know that 2012 wasn't the best of years for me! But hey ho, that was all last year - so it is onwards and upwards for 2013! 

My Resolution: 

- Sort myself out - Lose 30 pounds, Take Vitamins Daily & Have a Solid Skincare routine!

- Clear all my debt (excluding my Student Loan)

- Do a Make-Up Artistry Course 

- Get myself on my chosen career ladder 

- Start Youtubing 

- Do at least one charity event 

- Learn how to use my new camera

So in terms of blogging, I have a few new things up my sleeves! Firstly, I am going to try and great a continuity of blogging! I am going to do quite a few posts on my weight loss journey; my gym experience, diet, tips and how I am feeling. I'm thinking that this will be a weekly post, so I hope you will all like to see that and my journey. I am also going to try and do a couple of photo's of the day shots - now the reason I don't do them currently is because I am far to self conscious and when I take the pictures I feel hideous, saying that though since I got my new phone I have been instagraming a few (follow me: MissLaceyLoves) so let me know your opinions on that. 

Anyway, I will leave you all to enjoy your New Years Day. Let me know in the comment box below if you have posted your New Years Resolutions as I am super nosey and love reading about them! Catch you all later :)

This is my first everyday make up post, but when I say everyday I obviously don't mean I smoother my face with all of this on days when i'm bumming about the house or going to the gym. It is my staple 'face' look. It has been pretty much the same for about a month, I tend to go through phases of using liquid eyeliner and a kohl pencil. Also the orange lip look has been a new trend of mine for the last couple of weeks since I have brought this lip butter - it is my favourite and gives the best colour that I could find on the market.

This is a mixed haul of the products that I have purchased this month. I have been a little naughty because I am meant to be using up all my current products up, so I know you will all be highly impressed with my empties post which I'm hoping to complete by the end of next week. In this post I'm not going to particularly go into every item and their pros and cons because then this would become MASSIVE. 

Though I will be doing my current tanning routine which'll include the Garnier Ambre Solarie products. These were recently purchased after a debate with a couple of girls at work over fake tanning vs using sun beds. 

The Philip Kingsley Pure Silver range was brought after my hair has started going a little yellowy, so I'm going to be hoping that this sorts it out. I will keep you posted. 

No Drought Lush, dry shampoo possibly my favourite product for my hair at the moment. I will be doing a full review on it but what I will say is that I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who doesn't have blonde hair. 

Jemma Kid Light As Air Foundation, great product but the colour variety isn't great and mine is way too dark. (I'm hoping it will be good for the summer though. Fingers crossed). 

The Estee Lauder trio is obviously amazing and will feature in my current skincare routine, so keep your eyes peeled. 

In my usual style, I was on the hunt for an orange lipstick and a nude/gold shimmer lipstick. This obviously meant that I purchased more than one of each... oops! And the Soap & Glory Balm just won me over with the smell! 

I'm a huge fan of L'oréal Millionize Mascara so as I ran out I thought I would repurchase the new Mega Volume Collagene Mascara. The eyeshadow and bronzer were spontaneous purchases.

The GOSH brow pen has been hyped among the blogger world and I thought I would love it and I do... literally I don't know how I ever did my eyebrows before I had this. I would urge everyone to have one. :D
