Happy New Year to all!

While we’re all busy making merry (or just chilling during the holidays), it might be time to think of the 1 thing you can change to shake up your beauty routine and make yourself feel and look better for the coming year.

I’ve come up with 10 that I can think of right now.

  1. I will drink more water and eat more fruits.
  2. I will not forget sunblock even when I’m just popping out to grab something from the nearby stores.
  3. I will use up more MAC lipsticks and do my first Back-to-MAC with 6 empty containers! (Yes, I’m horrible, I think I have only finished about 4-5 MAC products in my life, and I’ve thrown some of them out before realizing I could have brought them back for free lipsticks.)
  4. I will wear more red lipstick. (I have quite a few beautiful red lipsticks, but I seldom dare to wear them out in the day so they mostly sit in my tray, neglected.)
  5. I will mix more custom-shadows using all my mineral pigments.
  6. I will stop picking at clogged pores. (Argh, I think this might be the one I fail.)
  7. I will stop buying nail polish until more dry up or get used up.
  8. I will moisturize my body more. 
  9. I will do at least one Project 10 Pan.
  10. I will run a contest/giveaway for Makeupbox’s 1st Anniversary!
