How have you been doing so far in following your resolutions? I think it will be cool to make a CHECK-IN thread every month to see how everyone is progressing.

Here were mine:
Let's see...in 2009 I will:

1. Transform the texture of my skin by finding the right regimen for it and sticking to it!
2. Continue to experiment with eyeshadow and perfect my blending and color combinations.
3. Continue to build my brush collection.
4. Build a palette of high-quality eyeshadows.
5. More blushes!

ETA: I have some seperate ones for hair...

1. Learn to rollerset
2. Get a salon-quality flatiron
2a. Become less dependent on beauty salons
3. Experiment with hair styles
4. Maintain & Boost hair health with the appropriate regimen and products.

So far I have:
Bought another brush--the LE 226. I have been practicing my e/s skills, and I made a list of all the shadows I want in my palette. I'm doing ok on the hair side of things. I need to get moving!

Well, I haven't bought lipgloss in awhile, so I am improving on the lipgloss ho front.

Still working on being more experimental with eyeshadows. Watching a lot of YT tutorials.

I've been doing really well! Today is my off day for no eye makeup, but I still put on lipgloss, blush and shaped my brows, even though I'm not going anywhere special.

I haven't bought anything and have no plans to for at least another month or so (except for a Milani shadow I have wanted for MONTHS).

I am having so much fun shopping my stash. I have written out about 7 of my favorite looks and I whip out that spreadsheet whenever I need a look and don't feel like putting one together from scratch. :yep:

I'm doing GREAT! I missed 2 days putting on my "face" but I have had some really bad things happen in the past few weeks so I give myself a pass. I think I have found some really good products too that make my face look great and my looks are lasting all day!

I'm doing horribly. I've been buying up like crazy. I'm back to my no buy tomorrow. :p I need to really shop my stash.
