Beauty Resolutions!

beauty resolutionsI hope you all had a lovely Christmas and are looking forward to what 2014 may bring for you!

I thought I would just do a quick post to thank everyone who read and (hopefully) enjoyed my blog in 2013 and share my 2014 beauty resolutions with you!

My Beauty Resolutions

1) Take better care of my skin. I have to admit I’m rather lazy when it comes to skincare and having spot prone skin, I should probably spend a bit longer ensuring I remove all traces of make-up from my face and moisturise daily.

2) Try some more adventurous lip colours. I love lip products, probably too much… but I would like to step out of my comfort zone with the colours next year and try out some brighter shades.

3) Eat healthier. This might not seem like an obvious beauty resolution but I definitely subscribe to the notion that we ‘are what we eat.’ I hope by eating a healthier diet, I can improve the appearance of my skin, hair and nails and not just my waistline! You can read my post on the importance of healthy eating ft. an interview with Marco Pierre White himself here: http://bit.ly/1a8uEQj.

4) Use up the products I already own. As most beauty junkies will know, the temptation to buy new makeup products when you don’t necessarily ‘need’ them is very high! This year I’m going to try and only buy things when I have run out of a similar product. Though I have to be honest, I don’t anticipate this resolution lasting very long…

5) Organise my make-up. I am probably the untidiest person you could ever meet but I’m hoping to change this in 2014 by sorting through my bedroom- my makeup organisation is at the top of my ‘to do’ list!

I hope you enjoyed reading my beauty resolutions and I will leave you with my top three most popular posts of 2013:

2) How Much Is My Face Worth?-http://bit.ly/1cWsahX
3) Ten Top Money Saving Beauty Tips-http://bit.ly/1kA80C9
What are your beauty resolutions for 2014?
I would love to hear them in the comments section!

After she had met her seemingly endless queue of fans for her signing with gorgeous swimwear brand South Beach, I chatted with Sam Faiers, star of The Only Way Is Essex ! She told us more about her day, South Beach and how her pop-up shop was going for her brand Minnies Boutique which she owns alongside her sister and fellow TOWIE star Billie Faiers !

Sam’s beauty tips: “Always exfoliate before you fake tan and make sure you moisturise and take off your makeup before you go to bed.”

Sam was at the Clothes Show to promote celebrity favourite South Beach South Beach are a new, on-trend swim and beachwear brand that launched this spring. Their pool-side designs are unique and eye-catching and they have also launched an amazing loungewear range to cozy up in this winter! One of their super-soft onesies is definitely on my Christmas list! South Beach have recently started an incredible sale with many of their beautiful designs at up to 70% off!

Former X Factor contestant Sam Callahan also spoke to me about meeting his hordes of ‘Callafans’, his new album and promoting stylish, high performance headphones brand BassBuds at The Clothes Show.

What one thing would Sam Callahan take to a desert island? “My phone because I’d have to be able to tweet, I’m obsessed!”

As a Made in Chelsea super-fan, I was delighted to be able to grab a (really quick) chat with a very energetic Jamie Laing whilst he was doing a meet and greet:

“Always under-dress, never over-dress!”

I also spoke to some of the exhibitors at the Clothes Show about the exciting products they had for sale!

With the likes of Cara Delevingne, Kim Kardashian and Beyonce all sporting big beautiful brows, eyebrows are a current beauty must-have. I spoke to Laura, a trainer from eyebrow specialists HD Brows about how they can help you to achieve this coveted look:

Confectionery king Jelly Belly UK were another crowded stand at the Clothes Show. With their trademark jelly beans and a whole host of Jelly Belly themed products on offer, customers had plenty of choices to satisfy their sweet tooth! The world’s most famous jelly bean may be renowned for its varied and exciting flavours, but are you brave enough to try their latest addition…?

Jelly Belly UK’s managing director told me more:
