Cat Like Eyes

According to Vogue 'Cat Like Eyes' are going to be a big trend this S/S alongside Statement Liner (according to Glamour) so I thought I would try out a few flicks and experiment with my new Maybelline Gel Liner. Gel liners are all craze at the minute so I hope you left your liquid liners in 2011!

Here are a 5 different eyes I created, I've also shown my closed eye so you know what kind of shape your aiming for if you wanted to try and recreate any of them at home. My biggest tip is to ALWAYS stretch your skin to make it easier to draw on and ALWAYS finish the 'wing' with your eye open so you can see what your 'wing' will look like to others.






My Top Tips for applying Top liner
  • Stretch the skin around your eye with the hand your not using (if you can). This makes it easer to draw the line.
  • Follow the shape of your eye, gradually building on the thickness. 
  • To add an extra cat like effect fill in your top waterline (carefully). This also adds thickness to your lashes and makes them look longer. 
  • If you are going for a squared look (third one down) work your way from the outside in. Defining the square end first.
  • Go over your liner for a more defined look, giving your eyes that extra 'pop'!
  • Last but not least.....Practise, Practise, Practise. 
I never usually wear top liner during the week it's one of those added effects I use on special occasions only. But what's the fun in that! I will defo be trying out a few of these during the week let's just hope I don't turn up to work with a panda eye instead of a cat!

Which 'flick' is your favourite? Will you be going all cat eyed for Spring/Summer this year?

Monday Make Up Wishlist

Hello everyone! How are you all? I hope you've turned the doom and gloom of Monday in to a positive day. I thought being Monday and a day that not everyone looks forward to I would share with you my make up wish list! Just a few things I'm looking forward to saving up for and an exciting reason to turn a grumpy Monday upside down!

Maybelline Eye Liner - Everyone is really in to Gel Liners at the moment and after having a play around with my E.L.F Cosmetics cream liner I can see why. They make such a dramatic difference to your eyes and that is the only reason why I want this!


Clinique Chubby Stick - Not sure why but these are so tempting to me! Bizarrely enough I think it maybe because it looks like a crayon. Anyway, I've seen very good things about these chubby sticks and I can't wait to try them!


Rimmel Pro Matte Top Coat - Ever wanted your favourite polish in a matte colour? No...how about 'would you like to try your favourite nail polish in a matte colour because it might look pretty? YES...I have your solution. Originally Chanel brought out a Mat Top Coat which does everything on the bottle. With three strokes your nail varnish can go from the glossiest gold to a sophisticated matte! Now, I'm currently a beauty blogger on a budget and as tempting as Chanel may be I will go for the counterfeit Rimmel version for now which is £4.50 from Boots!


I've decided  I'm no longer signing up to glossybox purely because the £12 a month I could spend on buying the items on my wishlist - starting with the Maybelline Eye Liner! Of course, I'll be reporting back on my purchases!

To top off my temporary wish list, here is an inspirational image for the end of the day thanks to we heart it!
