Blog | sparkle this city in 2015

Well the year 2014 just flew by, it seems. I don't know about you but I have a feeling that 2015 will be an amazing year- hoping I'm right!

In 2014 I received my first PR samples - so exciting! Can't wait to see what 2015 will bring.

Its very similar to last year, but here are some of my blog goals for 2015:

1. Blog more/be more organized.
I need to blog more. But I feel like I always have something else to do and I just can't blog. Which makes me very sad. So I need to try to always have post ready in advance. Try not to go a week without posting as well. Post at least 10-15 posts a note. On top of that, use my organiser/journals/make lists to not get overwhelmed.

2. Different posts.

I want to blog more about other interests of mine/more lifestyle posts.

3. Read more blogs.
Read and discover more blogs. Often I don't get the chance to read blogs and end up having weeks worth of blog posts to read! Also want to comment more and use Bloglovin more!

4. Improvements.

No matter what, one can always improve writing skills, organization, photography & editing skills. There is always, always, something new, something to learn, something to improve.

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

I'm currently looking to get a new custom-made blog design. So 2015 will probably be the year for that. Also, I've been thinking about changing my blog name, I really like it, but I don't know if its suitable. What do you guys think: should i keep it? do you like it?

6. Use social media more.
Its no secret that social media has been growing over the past couple years and that its a great platform for us bloggers. And I also need to participate in #bbloggers chat and other chats on twitter. I'd also like to make blogger friends! :)

7. Followers/Views/Posts.

GFC: 300 followers

Bloglovin: 500 followers

Twitter: 800 followers

Overall views: 30,000
Overall posts: 100 ++

Hope you keep reading my blog in 2015! If you ever want to talk to me you can on Twitter (@sparklethiscity) or email me at sparklethiscity@outlook.com

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Vichy Dermablend Setting Powder | REVIEW

Hi everyone!

Today I will be reviewing the *Vichy Dermablend Setting Powder. I'm gonna start of by saying that I love this product. Let's see what this finely milled, hypoallergenic, paraben-free, no-scent and transparent setting powder is all about!

Color/texture: This setting powder is a universal shade (invisible once applied) - can be used by any skin tones. It has a micro fine texture.

Results: Gives a matte/natural finish - made my skin looking flawless and it also leaves your skin super soft. Since using this setting powder, I have noticed a difference with my skin - it has been looking better! It is also a long lasting powder.

Also, it includes a powder puff which works great! This powder is very gentle and lightweight so its great for sensitive skin. I love the fact that its not cake at all and very natural. This product will last you for a long time cause theres a lot of products and you really don't need a lot.

If you're interested in checking out this product, you can go on Escentual by clicking here. Escentual.com have a sale going on now - save 15% off of everything on their site! So don't miss that! It ends on the 12th of January.

Kylie Jenner lipstick ft. MAC cosmetics

As you all know there's plenty of lips products that are rumoured to be what Kylie Jenner uses. After asking the lady at the MAC counter she told me that Kylie was using is the MAC lip pencil in Whirl and the MAC lipstick in Brave.

This mauve nude lip combo has taken over Youtube/blogging community and it's not hard to understand as it's the perfect everyday wear, but with a different twist, 90s vibe.

MAC WHIRL LIPLINER
This is a universal lipliner that can be used with a lot of colours. It's a pinkish brown / nude / mauve. Your lips will look bigger / fuller. I am not one to usually wear lipliner cause I didn't really understand why I should use it, but this made me realize that I need to use lip liners more! This will make the lipstick last longer - also, you can slightly over line your lips if you want more of that Kylie Jenner look.

MAC BRAVE LIPSTICK
A pink/mauve/beige satin lipstick / slightly matte without being dry. For a matte lipstick it's very comfortable on the lips. Natural and great for everyday wear. It's like a my lips but better. One of my all time favourite lipstick that I will repurchase as soon as I run out! It last a few hours - very easy to apply.
