Happy new year everybody! Sorry that this post is a little bit delayed due to me stressing over uni things and preparing for the start of term. Anyway, i hope all you guys had a well deserved break and slowly easing back into the normal days now! The year 2013 has been an up and down year for me in general, but i want to promise myself to make 2014 a much better year, Become more organized with things and work much more harder than my previous years. Theres so many resolutions I can think of with regards to general life, but as this is a beauty blog, im going to list 5 things i want to try and stick to.
1. USE UP SOME PRODUCTS BEFORE BUYING
I have hoards of products stashed up and i think that instead of clogging up my drawers with these items, i should try and use them up to free some new space in order to buy and try new products! I guess that there are many other girlies out there who has the same problem as me!
2. WASH MY MAKEUP BRUSHES REGULARLY
I must admit, i do get lazy when it comes to washing my make-up brushes and it doesn't look that great when it is in my pot all orange looking and i know that all kinds of dust and bacteria is growing on those damp soggy bristles when unwashed.
3. LEARN TO SPEND MORE ON SKINCARE & LESS ON MAKEUP
Personally, i think that it is a good idea to be spending more money on skincare products rather than make-up products because i think that having good skin is very important. Drugstores do have some good value skincare products, but i find that the higher end ones are much more richer and concentrated therefore do it's job alot better in my opinion. Make-up products, there are numerous Dupes of them on the high streets which gives a similar finish, therefore i find that it's not essential to fork out alot of money just for a highend brand sometimes.
4. EXPERIMENT MORE WITH COLOUR
I have been sticking to safe colours such as earth tones and purples, but this year i would like to try out more vibrant colours to create much more make-up looks to expand my creativity and share with your guys. I need to perfect on my blending skills and maybe practice on my cut-crease eye make-up techniques.
5. WEAR LESS MAKE-UP
This year, i want to try and minimize the amount of make-up i wear. Last year i managed to decrease on the amount of eyeliner i wear and focus on my eyelashes with a good mascara, but i really want to try and use less foundation this year and give my skin a break. Some girls just use concealer with a light dusting of powder which i do want to try sometime for myself when my skin is behaving itself and looking half decent.
So these are my beauty resolutions that i hope to stick to for this year.
What are some of your new years beauty resolutions or goals?

ReplyDeleteSome great targets! I really want to save more money and appreciate the amount of makeup I have, it's so easy to get in a 'spending' rut just buying new beauties left right and centre!

I need to experiment with colour more, too! It's so easy to stick with neutrals so I'm really pushing myself to buy different colours! Especially for my eyes :)

The first one sounds exactly like me. I currently have a massive stash of body butters and body lotions, probably enough to last me all year. I'm trying my best to stop buying and start using first!
