While I benefit from a back-up of an item as chronic bag-dropper and misplacer of all things, my big resolutions are:<br />1) Avoid purchases of items only made acquainted with through online reviews and swatches. I have to see it in real life to know for sure.<br />2) Sleep on it. It will be there tomorrow/next week. Also, I have a weird thing about not buying the last one, I have enough, let someone else have it.<br />3) Not buy 52 million variations on a theme of one item that worked very well for me, only to find 52 million variations that don't scratch the itch, rather just get a 2nd of the item (I legitimately use up my back-ups, more so than single items).<br />4) Stick to what immediately makes me happy--easy and fresh make me happy, intricate and time-consuming drive me bonkers, and keep this vision in my head when I shop.Sophia1105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-12818173133169026682011-01-12T11:10:23.269-05:002011-01-12T11:10:23.269-05:00My only (realistic) resolution is to only buy thin...My only (realistic) resolution is to only buy things that I really love so MAC can come out with billions of collections but no buying unless I try and really like something. Although what I've found is that I prefer higher end products because they seem they are more finely milled so I will have to wait and save for those items instead.Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01678855271371609373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-27987112106114045272011-01-12T03:32:14.633-05:002011-01-12T03:32:14.633-05:00Amazing post!

(the fact that I have 3 full unopened bottles of make up remover should be reason enough to refrain from the sales counters)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-43741532610713428352011-01-11T23:37:31.014-05:002011-01-11T23:37:31.014-05:00My new year resolutions are:1) to be thoughtful of...My new year resolutions are:1) to be thoughtful of what products I really need, 2) weed out old makeup product (did that over holiday break) 3) Enjoy existing perfumes already in my collection 4) I've been looking for this particular vintage perfume bottle for over 15 years, and I think I've found it... 5) Have the courage to go gray (at 43, I'm over 60% there) 6) Maintain my brows better, it's the part of my beauty routine I'm most intimidated about! Silly isn't it? 7) Try Edward Bess products, they look amazing!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04799815810869706346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-88030630085572291262011-01-11T19:23:57.751-05:002011-01-11T19:23:57.751-05:00What excellent advice, especially about the sales ...What excellent advice, especially about the sales and little 'crap' (my word, not yours :-) v. one thing of quality.<br /><br />Sage advice, indeed.<br /><br />My resolution is to keep my hair in better order. It's extremely curly and, if I don't keep it in check, skirts close to Sideshow Bob territory. WAY too old for that. It only takes a couple extra minutes to smooth the curls out a bit. I'm too old (55) not to have a polished look. At this age, frizzy just looks messy and crazy. And I feel better when I'm a bit more pulled-together.Musettehttp://www.bearboring.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-85346832585164637822011-01-11T18:56:03.271-05:002011-01-11T18:56:03.271-05:00Non-resolutions are awesome!

I haven't sampled fragrance for over a year now, but I'm ready. It's no surprise I'll start with my favorite perfumer. :) That resolution is in transit--i.e., the samples are making their way to me from Les Scenteurs. I foresee beaucoup purchases as her creations always smell divine on me (I have the first five).<br /><br />2) Start the beauty purchases off with a few Edward Bess eyeshadows and blushes. I haven't fulfilled that resolution, but neither have I bought another Chanel red lipstick. So I'm doing well!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-42224498351713661222011-01-11T14:35:07.563-05:002011-01-11T14:35:07.563-05:00This year, I'm trying to spend less money at t...This year, I'm trying to spend less money at the counters and at Sephora.
