Glam New Years Eve Party Look

With New Years Eve coming up very soon, I decided to create a glam look as some makeup inspiration for the celebratory night. I love trying out new and different eyeshadow looks, even if they don't turn out how I imagined. I went for quite a simple yet pretty eye look - you could even add some glitter if you wanted to look even more glam.

What I Used:

Firstly, I applied my foundation from Revlon in the colour 'buff' and my Maybelline superstay 24 hour concealer in the colour 'light'. To set my foundation, I used my stay matte powder from Rimmel in the shade 'soft beige'. For my brows, I used my Maybelline master shape brow pencil. To set the hairs into place, I used my Maybelline brow drama sculpting mascara.

To prime my eyes, I used my NYX HD eyeshadow primer. On the outer part of my lid, I applied the shade 'darkside' from the Naked 3 palette as I was going for sort of a dark, grey, smoky colour. Next, I used the first shade on the second row of the eyes like angels palette from Makeup Revolution, (see the palette here), and applied it on the middle of my lid and blended it into the darker colour. Then, I used the last silver shade on the bottom row from the same palette from MUR to fill in the rest of my lid. Then, I blended it all in together.

I am still working on my blending skills, I'm definitely improving, I guess it just takes time. Also, it would be so much easier if the shades in this certain palette from Makeup Revolution had individual names (sigh).

I then applied my highlighter from Louise Young on my brow bone and on the inner corners of my eyes. I used my favourite pair of lashes, 'Fleur loves' and applied my lash sensational mascara afterwards to blend the lashes together. If you want natural looking but glam lashes, these are the ones. Finally, I put on eyeliner, lippy and set my face.

All the best for 2017!

2016 : Goals & Resolutions

I can't believe that I'm writing my last post of 2015. To be honest, I can't believe that this is the last few hours of 2015! I have made quite a lot of resolutions for the new year, a lot more than I usually do. Why not go ahead and check out my list of goals to achieve in 2016...

My Goals & Resolutions

• Produce much better content and improve quality on my blog in 2016. Photos, writing, editing etc.

• Try not to care about what people think of me. I always worry about what people think of me and I know I shouldn't.

• Become more confident. I have always been quite a shy person, I have come out of my shell throughout the years but I really want to be so much more confident.

• Create a YouTube channel. This kind of links with the two bullet points above. I have no confidence in me to create my own YouTube channel and I am worried what people will think/say about me. I have made videos before but removed them because of them reasons. I have wanted to create my own channel for years and actually keep it up.

• Wear what I want when I want. I'm always self conscious about what I wear when I wear it. Like, will people judge me?

• Stick up for myself. I do stick up for myself a lot, probably so much more than I used to. But I just want to be that person who doesn't care and sticks up for themselves and other people.

• Get a job. A job I'll actually like. I need money to keep my car on the road and to treat myself to goodies now and then. But I can't do that without a job. Honestly, you don't understand how desperate I am.

• Save money. First, I need a good job though. But when I do, I need to save money to keep my car on the road, holidays, my first home, birthday gifts, Christmas and even a future family.

• Stop biting my nails. This is my new years resolution every year, but I honestly hope that 2016 will be the year.

• Look after my body more. Improve eating habits and fitness. I am honestly so crap when it comes to fitness, I don't have a clue what to do or where to start. I'd love to tone up more.

• Host a giveaway for my readers when I reach so many followers. I wanted to host a giveaway for my 1 year blog birthday but money is tight at the moment. So, I'm waiting until I reach a certain number of followers before I do one. And that number is secret until the day comes!

• Do what I want to do. There's a few opportunities in 2016 that I would like to do but I keep on holding them back. No Megan, not this time.

They are all of my goals and resolutions for 2016. All I can do now is hope that all of these will be a success or even the majority of them. What are your new years resolutions?
