2014 Blogging Goals

It feels like 2014 only started and there's already almost a month that has passed. My birthday is also coming super fast as well (February 1st -- I'll be turning 21, eek!). Anyways, as I have a good feeling about 2014. It will hopefully be the year that my blog grows and I'll try my best to make it happen! And I know I have to work hard...

(image: We Heart It) ...one could be eating fruits while blogging ;) ahah!

So I want to tell you what are my blogging goals for this year...

1. Be more organised.

Always have like 3 posts ready in my drafts in advance. Don't go months without posting and not have a gap of more than 4 days. Post at least 10-15 posts a month. Use my organiser/journals/make lists.

2. Unique, different posts.

I really want to try to have unique post. I also want to try blogging a bit more about lifestyle and other interest that I have from time to time :)

3. Read more blogs.

I really want to take the time to read more and discover more blogs. Not just my reading list... (that I often don't have time to read and end having a weeks worth of blog posts to ready!). And comment more! Also, try to use Bloglovin more!

4. Improvements.

Improvement with my writing skills, organisation, photography and editing skills.

5. New blog design/New name(?).

Get a custom-made one or try to make it myself... For a few weeks, I've been thinking about changing my blog name, I like it, but I don't know if its suitable. What do you guys think; should I keep it? How do you like it? :)

5. Followers/Views/Posts.

GFC: 300 followers

Bloglovin: 300 followers

Twitter: 600 followers

Overall views: 20,000
Overall posts: 100 ++

Hope you keep reading my blog in 2014! If you ever want to talk to me you can on Twitter or email me at sparklethiscity@outlook.com

Urban Decay Chill Makeup Setting Spray

Hi beauties! Today I will be reviewing one of my favorite product: Urban Decay's Chill

Makeup Setting Spray.

It's no secret that Urban Decay's Chill Makeup Setting Spray is a loved product in the beauty community. Any setting spray by Urban Decay is loved. It's one product that I constantly repurchase. I don't always buy the same one but this time I bought Chill.

This product is perfect for drier or combination skin, which is exactly my skin type. It keeps your makeup from smudging, settling in fine lines and looking cakey. Makeup setting sprays is like hairspray for your face. Basically. Just spray it on your face and have no fear, your makeup will stay on for hours and hours.

It has Temperature Control Technology that ''chills'' the surface of the makeup to help keeping it like it was just applied. It also helps your skin looking glowy & dewy.

One of the thing that I really like about Urban Decay's Make Up Setting Spray is that it delivers a microfine mist that goes on lightly and it doesn't feel sticky or tight.
