Meow?

Meow? Yes friends today I'm going to talk about how to create the purrrfect cat eye look. Many celebs like Angelina Jolie and Lauren Conrad are pro's at the cat eye.

1. You have two options when you begin. Either you can use liquid liner or you can use dark eyeshadow and an angled brush. I prefer to use liquid liner.
   
2. Many people like to start the liner from the inside corner or your eye to the outside corner, but I think this makes the eye look too dark. I tend to go in the middle of my outside corner and my inside corner. I start in the middle and work my way to the outside corner. The trick is to keep the line as close to your lashes as possible.
   
3. When you come to the end of your eye lid, flick the brush upwards towards your temple about a half inch. This looks like your eyelashes are curling upwards, giving you that cat look effect.
4. You can do underneath your eyelashes as well, but this is totally up for the look your going for.
   

This look will defiantly have people saying MMMEEEEOOOWW!

Like Your Mother Said...Wash Your Face Before You Go To Bed

Hello friends! I hope you all had an enjoyable weekend. Now...I know I'm not your mother, but she did give you some great advice. WASH YOUR FACE BEFORE YOU GO TO BED!

If you go to bed with make-up still on you are more prone to acne and oily skin. Plus, it's harder to removed day old make-up the next morning when it's smeared all over your face.

What do I use? First I like to use make-up remover wipes. My favorites are Pond's Clean Sweep. These towelettes exfoliate my skin and removes all my make-up. Think of it as a 2 for 1 deal. They are cucumber and aloe- infused, which allows the skin to look healthy and glowing.

After I wash my face I use a eye make-up remover, just to remove the excess mascara and eyeliner that may still linger. I like to use Avon's Moisture Effective. I usually use a q-tip and dap a little remover on the tip. Then I wipe the tip underneath my eye and over my eye lashes.

To finish up dry your face with a clean towel and apply your favorite face cream. Tend to use a face cream that has aloe and vitamin E. I like to use Clean & Clear. I think it leaves my face glowing and soft. I like to use Morning Burst. Even though it's meant to use in the mornings I like to use it at night as well.


Just remember before you go to sleep....WASH YOUR FACE! Sweet dreams!

Product Of The Week

Good Morning all and happy weekend! I have a product of the week update. My new favorite product... Lash Stiletto mascara by Maybelline.

This product makes my lashes look fuller and curls them perfectly. The brush is thiner than most brushes and has more brisels.

My advice, I like to use a coat of regular mascara first, it could be any old mascara, and then apply a coat of Stiletto mascara over it. I feel it makes my eyelashes look longer and creates more volume.

My favorite color is Very Black, it's great to create the perfect *smokey eye look.

What Eyeshadow Works Best With Your Eye Color

Good morning all! A few questions have come to my attention and many people are curious about what type of eyeshadow works best for their eye color. For example I have brown eyes, so what color works best for me?

For brown eyes the best colors are greens and purples. These two colors really make the eye pop and lets the brown really shine. Also bronze colors and golds can make brown eyes look hazel like, and can disapat the darkness of the browns.

Blue eyes on the other hand you want to stick with neutral colors. If you apply a color that is too dark such as dark green, the color of your eye will become over powering and will take away from your eye color. Stick to light browns, beige, and golds.

Green eyes like blue eyes should not use over powering colors. Stick to neutral colors as well or even light shade of violet. These colors really help to make the green in the eyes pop and make the green look even greener.

If you have hazel eyes take in consideration that you have both brown and green in them. You have the most color selection out of all of the eye colors. You can choose from both green eye colors and brown eye colors. Feel free to experiment!

Last tid bit of advice, take your hair color into consideration. Just remember red hair and purple eye shadow, not the best mix. But have fun and experiment, see what works for you!

Smokin' Eyes

Hey friends. Today I'm going to move away from hair and outfits and move into make-up. Our first make-up lesson... Smokey Eyes. Everyone has different ways of creating smokey eyes so you do not have to take my advice, this is just how I create them.

1. First I outline my eyes in black eye liner. I apply liner to both my bottom crease and my upper lid. I also add a little more to the corners of my eyes.
2. Next I use a base color for my lids. I prefer to use a lighter shade, like tan or beige, and I really like to use liquid shadow. I use a liquid shadow because I feel it holds the black color better on the lid and really makes it pop.
3. After I apply my base, I like to use black eye shadow, but feel free to use different colors such as dark plumb, grays or browns. I apply the black (or whatever color you are using) on only half my lid. Start color from the far corner of your eye (the closest to your ears) and blend towards the center. I like to keep the corner of my eye (closest to my nose )only showing my base because I feel like it looks like its fading, starting light to dark.
4. Next apply a small amount of color on an angled brush underneath your eye just to enhance the liner a little bit.
5. Use mascara to finish and presto! You have successfully created the smokey eye.

Here's pictures of steps 1-5 on my eyes. I think smokey eyes are easy to produce and can always make an outfit look sexy!! If you need more tips check out how Sephora does their smokey eyes. Have fun!

Soak Up The Sun

Hey all! Hope you all had a wonderful weekend. As for me I spent most of my sunny days laying out at the pool. I know you all want to get tan instead of lobster red when you lay out, so I have some products for you to try out.

First product is Hawaiian Tropic Dark Tanning Lotion. This product is just like sun block but it enhances your tan instead of blocking the sun completely. It has many different bottles that have different levels of SPF. For instance, I use SPF 4 but my roommate who is fairer than me uses SPF 12.

The next product is new from Hawaiian Tropic, it's call Tan Amplifier. It's made with carrot gel. I just used this product the other day and it worked great for me. It made me get a tan quicker than any other product I used. Plus carrot seed extract is a natural source of Vitamin A.

Another product I use is Banana Boat Tanning Oil. Like the Hawaiian Tropics, it comes in different SPF amounts. I use SPF 4 but for those with fairer skin I would use a stronger amount, this acts just like any other oil would, so BE CAREFUL! You don't want to fry yourself out in the sun.

Have fun and soak up the sun!!

Product of The Week

Hey all! I went to my hair stylist a few days ago and because I dye my hair, she suggested a protein boost product. I went to the store and all the kits were very pricey. So I asked one of the workers what would work best but for a cheaper price and she suggested... Redken Anti-Snap.

All you have to do is apply a small amount, about a quarter size, and rub it through your hair from the roots to the ends after you towel dry it from the shower. Then you can just style it as you please, whether you blow is straight or curl it. After about two weeks of using it I found great results! My hair was smoother and I had less split ends.

I really recommend this product for us girls who need a little protein boost!
