i'd make lists of what you want to post about so you can never have the excuse of "i don't know what to post about today". also, try and dedicate 2-3 days week (could be at night before you go to bed) to putting up a post. a lot of people will overlook your blog if you don't post often on it.
once you have your list set up (and some free time), i would take pictures of everything you'll need, edit them as needed, and then write a few posts. it's a good way to be prepared so if you find yourself too busy one week to type up an entry, you'll always have one on hand you can just toss up.

on the note of pictures, try not to post anything too painfully large. i know i tend to click off a blog if the pictures are too large (as they take too long to load).

try and be yourself in your posts as well. play a little and be funny- the more geniune you are, the more likely readers will be drawn to your blog. i try to write in the same way i'd talk about a product. for example, if i'm writing about a pink blush, i'd probably never write something like: this pink blush is exquisite with it's fine shimmers and silky texture haha i dont talk like that! it makes the post read uncomfortably if you type differently from how you talk (if that makes sense), it's easy to tell!

i hope that helps :)

I just started my blog last week during my winter break! It wasn't too hard coming up with topics to write about, I just made a list of things that I love and care about like health && beauty! Like Samantha suggested, I made lists of topics to come with so I would never be out of something to write about. I also made my blog open to more than just makeup, I have posted about fitness, sleeping habits, hair extensions, and makeup reviews. I found this to be helpful when it came to thinking of topics!

I have 19 followers so far since last week, I have also posted the link to my blog on here as well as twitter, facebook, and google+. I feel like networking is very important to get your blog out there! I am new at this too and this was something I have wanted to start so I say go for it!!! =] And all the advice you get on here does help everyone is so helpful! =]
