I am admittedly reluctant to try things. Whether it's new food, new TV shows, or a new hairstyle I have to be practically force-fed (sometimes literally) anything different.

Is your new year's resolution to do something about those frown lines or creases between your brows? Before you make the appointment with your dermatologist, you should definitely check out these videos of real women getting Botox, Juvederm and more.

I have a confession: This whole story idea started as a joke in the office, kind of a "what-if" game. As in, "What if we dared someone to not use any beauty products for a month, would they survive? Go crazy? Scare off all their friends and loved ones?" After a few minutes of talking, it became too good to pass up, so we challenged one of our writers to try it.

Sounds too good to be true, right? One product that gets rid of dead skin cells, gives you a glow, softens fine lines and wrinkles, fades discoloration and helps with acne too? How is that possible?!

Unless you were fortunate enough to take a tropical vacation this season (lucky jer-, er, gal), you're probably looking a bit pasty about now.

Sure, you could make the typical new year's resolutions (lose weight, join a gym, read the classics, clean out your garage), but let's be honest: We all say these things every year, and rarely do we do any of them beyond January 15th, tops.

I don’t know about you, but my skin is in crisis mode. Between the dry airplane air from my holiday traveling to the equally dry air produced by the heater constantly running, my skin is alternating between flaky dry and super-oily (I think it’s trying to compensate). And don’t even get me started on breakouts.

You know what they say, if you want to see how a woman will look in 30 years, just take a glance at her mother. Well, if that really is true, then I’d say the young celebrities on this list will do pretty darn well.

Sure, we could apply most makeup with our fingers, but what are we, animals? (You know, like all those makeup-applying chimps you see? Yeah, OK, maybe not.) For precise application, every woman needs a good set of makeup tools.

I love perfume and usually wear some every day, but I hate, hate perfume shopping. Because while I could try on strappy sandals or lipglosses for hours, after three or four spritzes of fragrance my head is aching, my nose is desensitized and I just want some fresh air. Sound familiar?
