2013 Beauty Resolutions

1. Organize and catalog my collection so that I can avoid buying duplicates...therefore spending far less on new makeup than I do now.  

2. Drink at least 64 oz of water each day

3. Sleep 7-8 hours each night

1. Be more picky about what makeup I buy

2. Buy more limited edition with special packaging that "calls to me" (so not just any old thing)

3. Re-apply my lipstick throughout the day (when needed)

1. Less impulse buying on anything beauty/hair related.

2. Get my hair in better condition

3. Wear more natural make-up on most occasions (just because I'm getting sick of using so much up!) Haha.

4. Sort my eyebrows out a bit

I have a hybrid of the lists before me lol:

1. get my eyebrows together and keep them that way

2. spend less on makeup and shop my stash

3. drink more water

4. be more selective, to keep from buying dupes

5. re-apply lipstick during day

6. use some of the unused products in my stash

7. stop buying foundation

My beauty resolution this year is definitely to use more lipsticks , I'm trying to completely finish up my lipsticks and glosses products before I buy new one.
and have to make a conscious effort to take better care of my body skin :)

To wear more COLOURS! On eyes and lips. Purple and blue shadows, orange and fuchsia lipsticks, bring it on.

I have already failed at the bolded lol

I have added: 8. take better care of skin - get a regimen and stick to it

1.Use my lipsticks and especially my lipglasses 

2.Not buying any new foundations until i use up at least 2 of the ones i have

3.No more peachy blushes!(i have too many)

4.Use up my 345678 eye gels and eye creams that i have

5.Being extremely selective with mac collections

6.And obviously buying less makeup in general

Use up my makeup that I don't maybe love too much! So I can continue to grow my collection.

Ugh!  This is gonna be SOOO HARD!

I have a few resolutions for this year:

+building a well edited collection of high quality products instead of trying out so much...

+creating a routine to fake great skin, this includes finding the best foundation match to my skin possible & master base, concealer and powder application

+tightlining, tightlining, tighlining, until I can do it blind

I made a list of things that i want from the collections to come and i'm going to try to stick to it.I'm an impulse shopper so when i have a list i can control myself a little bit better.

I am having to do that with all the collections coming out in the next 3 months. I hope this will help control the impulse spending, if I see all the $$ I have already planned to spend.

I agree with this. First off, the barrier created by the foundation, and second, making sure to cleanse my skin (to remove makeup) has helped because I do it so much more thoroughly and regularly.

To be more adventurous in the colors I wear; not to get stuck in a rut.

I wouldn't call myself an impulse shopper there are times I go into a cosmetics store and leave with nothing my vice is "sales". Like the clearence bin on here lol if its a good price and I'm even remotely interested in it ill normally buy it. I set a goal for myself I can purchase whatever I want until Tomorrow but I won't buy unless its on my necessary list until I've hit pan or used up 3 products. Hey you have to start small lol.
