My Beauty Resolutions for 2014

Hiya!

So this post is going to be about all of my resolutions for 2014 regarding beauty and some fashion. I am already a very active and healthy person so I do not typically make resolutions about working out. So here goes nothing!

1. Use a wider variety of the products I already have. I have a lot of makeup. That's no secret. This makes it very hard to use up a lot of products. I want to remember that I have a ton of favorite things I can use and I don't want to get stuck on one product. For example lately I've been trying to use a ton of different concealers throughout the week instead of just one. Sure, some of them aren't as good as others but they need to be used too.

2. Experiment with eye shadow. This is something I used to do all the time but for the past few months I've been pretty boring when it comes to my eyeshadow looks, I've been pretty keen on wearing neutral colors and I want to go back to having some color in my eye looks. I recently used an UD shadow that was very bright and green and used a brown shadow for the crease, and it looked great, so I'm going to try to continue doing this.

3. BB Cream Weekends. I'm hoping to give my skin a break on the weekends and use BB creams, at least during the day. Of course, when I have nights out or GOD FORBID a date, I'll use foundation but I want to give my skin some time to breathe and get some moisture and I love how bb creams feel. I would go completely without face makeup but honestly I think my skin feels and looks better with bb cream even after I take it off.

4. USE UP SAMPLES. I have so many samples its ridiculous. I could start my own subscription service. Anywho, I've accumulated so many because of things getting sent to me for review, Sephora purchases, Ulta purchases, etc. I just have too many and I need to start using them to make room for newer samples. I love samples because I discover products I may love or not like without having to buy the product. Let's use em up!

5. Try different hairstyles. I tend to love my hair either curly or straight but I rarely do anything fancy with my hair, and I want to just try some new things. This is going to be really hard for me because I go to the gym every day so sometimes it just makes sense to keep things simple so I don't have to fuss with my hair before/after the gym. Also, I really just love how long my hair is and I think the reason I usually just leave it down is because of my length. I wanna show it off, girl!

6. Take more time to wear a complete outfit. This is pretty simple. I want to not just think top and bottom. I need to remember to wear accessories more often. Last semester I was super busy constantly so I never really cared or had the time, but I love fashion and I love how I feel when I have a bangin outfit on, so I'm going to get back in the game.

7. Take off my makeup every night. This is something I know a lot of women have trouble with on those nights when you're already in bed and you just say ohhh I'll be ok for tonight I don't need to take my makeup off. I am guilty but I want to try to remove ALL of my makeup every single night no matter what time it is or how  I feel because skincare is so important to me.

So those are a few of my resolutions. What are yours?!
