Beauty Resolutions 2013

    What was once a beautiful, energetic day on the beach has now turned in to a lovely, lazy night in, spent doing puzzles and watching Harry Potter.  I figured now would be the perfect time to jot down my beauty resolutions for this new year.  With witnesses, perhaps I can be held to these resolutions for once in my life!

More Sleep:  I am QUEEN of the erratic sleep schedule, especially during the school year.  I know both my physical and mental health could benefit from a solid eight hours each night... much easier said than done.

Master the Cat Eye (or some other artsy form using liquid liner):  I don't have a steady hand.  Mix that with gel or liquid eye liner and it can be a real disaster.  They do say, however, that practice makes perfect so if you see me walking around, looking like a deranged feline, it's fine.  I'm just practicing a new look.  

Learn to Contour:  It's been doing great things for cheek bones for decades and I wasn't even aware of it until this year.  I need to jump on this bandwagon!

Read More Books:  This is not actually a "beauty" resolution per say, but I was inspired to read more after getting my Bobbi Brown Makeup Manual.  I need to pick up a copy of her Pretty Powerful.  Before you know it, I should be reading Anna Karenina and other such novels... but, baby steps.

Take My Time  with Makeup Removal:  I've recently been introduced to cleansing waters and the Clarisonic.  I love spending a good amount of time on my nightly routine now as opposed to the five minutes I used to spend using only baby soap and face lotion.  I'd like to keep this up!

Buy an Expensive Eye Cream:  I don't think it will ever be too early to start forming some anti-aging habits.  I think this should be my first one.  So far I've only sampled Fresh's Black Tea Age Delay Eye Cream.  I think a few more Sephora samples are in order before I make any big purchases.


This post is a bit lengthy, but I wanted to cover everything in one fell swoop.  Do you have any Beauty Resolutions?  If so, what are they?
