The lovely Danniella over at Beauty in Japan did this post recently and I loved it! It also got me thinking about my beauty resolutions for 2013, which are far more likely to happen than my non-beauty ones (tone up, save more money etc etc).
Makeup
1. Achieve the perfect smokey eye. When it comes to eye makeup I would say I play it fairly safe. I generally avoid darker colour eyeshadows as in the past as I've just ended up looking like a drag queen!! Done right though I know it could look amazing for a night out.
2. Be braver with lip colours. I've only recently started wearing lipstick and I've been very envious of all those gorgeous bloggers sporting plum, berry and bright red lips. It's just a confidence thing I think!
3. Sort out my brows! I haven't been plucking them much recently in the hope that they'll grow a bit bushier, so I can get them shaped professionally for the first time! (I did them myself back in my teens and ended up with a serious case of over-plucking, oops.) I then plan to buy a brow kit to give them more definition.
Hair
1. I'm bored with my hair at the moment. In April I had it cut quite short with lots of layers but it's a lot harder to style and I can't do much with it, so I'm currently growing out my shorter layers but overall going to keep the length still fairly short. I'm almost 99% certain I'm going to abandon the bright blonde highlights I've had for years and years, and embrace the darker side! I love Kimberley Walsh's current ombre hair, so I may be brave and go for something like this.

Nails
1. I definitely need to treat my nails better in 2013 and purchase some kind of nourishing/strengthening treatment. I can't seem to grow them very long without breaking them at the moment and abuse them with nail varnish pretty regularly!
So these are my beauty resolutions for 2013! In general I would also like to do some kind of makeup course next year. I've briefly looked into online courses as most college courses are in the daytime (I work full time), so I need to investigate this more.
What are your beauty resolutions for 2013? Link me up if you decide to do this post!

Interesting list, and what a great idea to make beauty resolutions! I like it! Good luck with them and happy new year a bit in advance! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Happy New Year in advance to you too :-) xx
DeleteLove this! I may have to write one of my own :) Totally agree with the lipstick one - I really want to have the confidence for red lipstick! Xx
ReplyDeleteYay, let me know if you do! I've worn red lipstick out before but it was for fancy dress (1920s) and all the girls did it so I didn't care... I really need to care less lol xx
DeleteI definitely need to get brave with my lip colours too! I received Dubonnet by MAC as a present and plan to wear it a lot in the new year! x
ReplyDeleteI've kept this one in my head as I remember you recommended it for pale skin! Look forward to seeing a review on it xx
DeleteI'm exactly the same with lipstick! I have very pale skin so I'm too scared of looking like an idiot! aha

I think it can look so, so nice - it's just getting the right colour and being confident I think!xx
DeleteGreat list, my nails and brows need more attention in 2013 ;)
ReplyDeleteFor nails, get the renunail treatment, it's amazing xx
ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion Beth, I'll look it up!xx
Deletegreat idea for a post :) I recommend OPI's Nail Envy, I swear by it!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I've seen quite a few people mention OPI Nail Envy on their Twitter/blogs, so I'll check this one out too!xx
DeleteI'd never have thought to make a 'Beauty Resolution' list - great idea! I went back to bright lippies after years of neglect - still getting used to it but glad I took the plunge - you'll love it once you get into it! It's taken me all these years to make the most of my brows and I love my HD brow kit now! I agree - OPI's nail envy is amazing! xx
ReplyDeleteYou should do some beauty resolutions too Jenny! You're right, I think I'd love it once I started doing it! Thanks for your product suggestions :-) xx
DeleteYour beauty resolutions list sums up mine pretty well.... i need to treat my nails better! and i need to be a bit more adventurous with my make up, i'm so scared of doing a smokey eye wrong as i dont want to come across super gothic lol!
ReplyDeletegreat post m'love :)
