2014 Beauty Wishlist │ lipsticksandlevis

So, I started to read and become super interested in beauty blogs, probably, around 6 or 7 months ago which is when I really got determined and inspired to start my own. Throughout this time I have struggled with confidence and didn't think that anyone would want to read what I had to say. So at the start of 2014 I decided that I didn't really want to write my blog for anyone else, but for me, because all things beauty and fashion related are what I love. If people decide to join me on my journey along the way, then that's great and I hope they enjoy reading my blog but if not then I am completely fine with that because I'll enjoy what I'm doing!  Anyway, enough with the soppy stuff and onto the rest of the blog post! 

In the 6 or 7 months of reading beauty blogs and watching all of these 'beauty gurus' on youtube, I have seen and heard of so many products that I would love to try out and to add to my current regimes. That is the reason for this blog post, a beauty wishlist of products that I would like to try in the coming months. So many blogs inspire me with their words and pictures and reading them makes me want to try all of their recommendations. So I am writing this beauty wishlist as something to come back to in a month or so when I am wanting to try something a little different or I run out of a product and need to find something new, but I also hope that it may inspire some of you to go out and try something new and if you do, of course, let me know what you think!

New Years Resolutions and a Fitness Surge │ lipsticksandlevis

So it's 2014.. The new year seems to have come around so fast, a little too fast, and I always feel like as I get older the year seems to fly by even quicker than the previous one. Scary! I'm not usually one for New Years Resolutions because the majority of them are broken within the first few weeks, so this year I decided to set some for myself but keep them simple and easy to stick to. 

My first resolution is simply to drink more water, I want to try and drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. I drink quite a lot of water anyway, as all I drink is water or fruit tea, but I have really dry skin and I thought that drinking more water might improve my skin and boost the amount of moisture in it. 

Over the last couple of weeks, since the new year, I have been on a bit of a fitness surge so I decided to purchase some more exercise clothes to fit my surge of fitness. I bought this little bundle from Forever 21 and I love them. They are super stretchy which makes them extra comfy which is perfect whilst working out. They were all also really good value for money so I will definitely be buying some more of the active wear pieces from Forever 21. 

Have you made any new years resolutions this year?
