Top 6 Posts of 2014 + Beauty and Blogging Resolutions for 2015

Happy New Year 2015!! I meant for this post to go up yesterday, but I hope you all had a fun and safe New Year's Eve, whether you chose to party a little too hard or spend the night wrapped up in a blanket on your couch at home.

As my last homage to 2014, I wanted to mention my top 6 blog posts of the year, based on pageviews: 1// The New Gloss/Color/Stain on the Block: Revlon ColorStay Moisture Stains - New drugstore releases always seem to be a crowd favorite, and although I didn't love these, they were very exciting to test out, nonetheless. 2// Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Dim Infusion - It's one of those blushes that doesn't seem revolutionary, and you can't put into words exactly why it's so great, you just know that it is. I still love this one. 3// A New Love: Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk Foundation - My favorite foundation of 2014. Enough said. 4// Spring Blushing with Clinique Cheek Pop Blush in Plum Pop - I was pleasantly surprised by how seamlessly this blended into my skin, and the perky pink shade is so refreshing to the complexion. 5// The Best Under-Eye Concealer: Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer - This is still my HG concealer for under-eyes. 6// Cream Eyeshadow Loves - Cream shadows and my contacts don't often get along anymore, but when they do, these are the gorgeous ones I reach for.
And, because it wouldn't be a new year without at least an attempt at some new year's resolutions, I'm sharing with you three of my beauty and blogging related ones:
1. Put up a new post at least twice a week. While I can't promise to blog as frequently as I once did years ago, I'm going to try my hardest to be more consistent!
2. Wash my makeup brushes every other week. I should probably do it even more often than this, but I'm taking baby steps. I'm also pretty sure some form of 'more frequent brush washing' is on everyone's list of beauty resolutions.
3. Pare down my makeup collection. This doesn't necessarily mean I won't be buying new makeup, but it means that I will make it a point to sell, give away or trash (last resort!) products I either don't like or don't use often enough to make it worthwhile to keep around. My goal is to have a smaller collection of fantastic products I genuinely love and use often.
