Cute Makeup Tips

Happy 2012 makeup junkies! How was everyone's NYE? Well, I hope you're having an amazing start to the new year so far. Any New Year's resolutions you're looking to conquer this year? I stopped making resolutions a while ago to avoid disappointment - ha! - but this year my resolution is to stand a little straighter. Odd right? But I'm serious! I stand at a wee 4"11 and my bad habit of slouching is making me look much shorter. Plus, I'd like to avoid being a hunchback in my golden years.

One of my favourite things to do in the new year is reflect on all my favourite beauty loves that I've had the lucky privilege of testing out. Here is my best of beauty for 2011!
