New Year's Beauty Resolutions: Here's to a Pretty 2011!:allure.com
Hitting the gym a little harder (or showing up at all) and making time to read more books are resolutions that make it on my list most years. But this time, my colleagues and I have decided to incorporate some beauty resolutions, too: Mine is to wean off some of my beauty addictions—lash extensions and spray tans are great for special events, but they've become part of my everyday look. I'm going to work on embracing my natural lashes and skin tone—until my next big party, anyway.
"I want to get at least one manicure a month; They're boring to sit through and I never have the patience. But when I see women with their nails done, I immediately view them as put together. I like to use a light shade on my hands, so when my nails chip it's not as noticeable."—beauty editor Angelique Serrano
"I want to bust out of my hair rut. Normally I just let my hair air dry, but next year I resolve to pull out my blow-dryer and take the time to really style it. Who knows, maybe I'll even pick up a curling iron!"—associate editor Elizabeth Siegel
"I'm starting an anti-aging regimen. I'm 24, so I don't do much with my skin right now, but I know that's going to catch up to me in the long run. I'm going to be more diligent with antioxidants this year so I can prevent fine lines."—assistant editor Kayleigh Donahue
What's your beauty resolution for 2011? More importantly, will you keep it?
