Colored Cat eyeliner =^..^=

n this look I used a mixture of Mac and Flirt! cosmetics. I love Flirt! The quality of it is very similar to Mac. They also have similar colors. (Review coming soon)

As far as cat eyes go, there are many ways to create a cat eye. This version is good if you want something quick and simple. If you want a little bit of drama, use a colored eyeliner. Enjoy

So Icy!

Gold Persimmon

I love creating looks on face charts! I made a couple of eye looks on face charts that I will attempt to duplicate on my eyes. Enjoy!! And yes it's another orange looks.. I need to retire that color for a while :(

ChinaGlaze : Peachy keen

I don't really care for entries about nails but I thought I'd share this because I've received soooo many compliments on this nail color. I purchased it at Ulta and was actually looking for a specific color (one similar to Ravishing lipstick by MAC.) So basically a very milky peach/salmon. I love this color so much! It gives a nice opaque coverage with a cream finish. Nice and long lasting!
