" As beauty editors you&amp;#039;d think we would have our hair, makeup and skin routines perfectly down pat. But there&amp;#039;s always room for improvement. Here&amp;#039;s what each of us are hoping to step up in the new year. (After you check out our goals, tell us what your resolutions for 2011 are, too!) Leah&amp;#039;s resolution: To wear more lipstick! I have drawers and purses full of tubes\u2014from classic neutrals to funky-colored fuchsias\u2014which I&amp;#039;ve taken from the beauty closet to test. But so often, I use them once or twice, toss them in the &amp;quot;&amp;#039;lipstick graveyard,&amp;quot;&amp;#039; and end up walking around with just plain balm. Not this year! One swipe of lipstick makes me feel so much sexier and look tons more pulled-together. I swear I can be nearly bare-faced, and lipstick will change my whole look. That&amp;#039;s why I&amp;#039;m vowing to USE the lipsticks I have! And I&amp;#039;m making good on my resolution: this a.m., I rocked Bobbi Brown&amp;#039;s Rich Lip Color in Cosmic Raspberry. The purplish-pink shade (look for it on counters next month) is strikingly cool and stays on for hours\u2014and given my obsession (and new resolution) I have a feeling I&amp;#039;m going to need a backup tube at-the-ready! Marta&amp;#039;s resolution: To stop being a hair slacker! Every day I look at photos and write about women with gorgeous, sexy hair . And, since I&amp;#039;m lucky enough to talk to top celebrity stylists on a regular basis, I actually know how to create some of those lust-worthy styles. But, instead, I come to work with my hair 80% blow dried (on a good day) or in a bun on the top of my head. Unacceptable. My goal is to allow my hair to reach its maximum hotness potential each day. I&amp;#039;ll be using a tip I learned from celeb stylist Kristin Ess while writing &amp;quot;&amp;#039;How to Look Hot\u2014in a Hurry&amp;quot;&amp;#039; for Cosmo&amp;#039;s current January issue. After blow drying or dry shampooing in the AM, I&amp;#039;ll work a one-and-a-half-inch curling iron through my hair\u2014with an iron that big, I&amp;#039;ll only need to quickly do four to five sections. Speedy, sexy hair will be my new style. Jessica&amp;#039;s resolution: To stop neglecting my body!  Ask for my nighttime facial routine, and you&amp;#039;ll get a ton of steps: cleansing, exfoliating, peeling, moisturizing. But ask for my body routine and you&amp;#039;ll get nothing. I know it&amp;#039;s terrible, but I speed right through my shower routine with soap and water\u2013\u2013no exfoliating scrub or moisturizing body wash. Then I hop out and get dressed, skipping the lotion that sits on my dresser. Not the best idea, especially in the cold,harsh winter . This year, I&amp;#039;m vowing to apply body lotion at least once a day. I found one by St. Ives that you can get your hands on come February: the new Naturally Indulgent Coconut Milk &amp;amp;amp; Orchid Extract (it&amp;#039;s so ridiculously rich, plus it smells like the beach thanks to yummy coconut) that I&amp;#039;m obsessed with. I&amp;#039;m already using it on my hands. Now I just need slather it on! Don&amp;#039;t forget to tell us yours!
