How to get the ultimate cat eyes

admin — Sun, 24 Feb 2013 10:49:15 +0000

Cat eyes add instant glamour and make your lashes look fuller. Get this instant cool look by choosing a pen eyeliner for a steadier hand. Start at the lashes with thin strokes and make it thicker as you extend it towards your eyes outer edge, for a flirty 50’s look flick the line upwards as you approach the edge of the eye.

*For added glam lightly trace you inner bottom lid with a light black pencil and add loads of mascara.

The BB cream miracle

admin — Tue, 19 Feb 2013 11:31:14 +0000

You know how for a while everybody was obsessed with illuminating foundation, then tinted moisturizer and lately the BB cream. I promise we’re sharing it with you because we tried it and we actually loved it. So what is the BB cream?

BB cream stands for beauty balm and its concept is that it is a 5-in-1 concept to replace serum, moisturizer, primer, foundation and SPF. Being a fan of Smashbox I thought I would try their BB cream since they never seize to impress me with their products. After trying Smashbox Camera Ready BB cream it became a daily essential for me, allowing me to skip on foundation and giving me extra coverage and glow than tinted moisturizer. It’s not too heavy or too light it gave me the perfect amount of coverage. FYI I started get a lot of compliments on my skin since I’ve started using it.

Bold Stripes Take Over

admin — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 17:49:08 +0000

Just like black stripes are considered a classic , we see them on the runway season after season but with different styles.

This spring the bold stripe trend is taking over, the moment I saw it I honestly was not sure what to think of the trend and how it can actually be worn until I realized how flattering it is. Besides being really hip, this wearable trend makes you look taller and slimmer!

If you want to try the trend go for a striped blouse. If you want to make a statement try the bold trousers.
