Eye Wear Lashes Co

TGIF everyone! I'm sure we're all ready and excited for the weekend!

Anyhoo, I'm excited to share a new brand of luxury lashes with you all! They're called Eye Wear Lashes and they make some really beautiful products. You can tell that a lot of care was taken into consideration from the product to the packaging.

The ethically sourced mink lashes are luxuriously dense while remaining graceful and lightweight. The unique, cylindrical packaging has a python texture with shiny, gold print and is secured with a thick, satin ribbon. I love that each lash is attached with a thin, plastic tab to make removal from the packaging easy and convenient.

Here is a simple, ombre cat eye that I did featuring a style called "Flawless".





Products used for this look:
  • Etude House eyebrow pencil in Dark Grey
  • Etude House gel eyeliner in Black
  • Urban Decay shadow in Blackout
  • Makeup Geek pigment in Utopia
  • Eye Wear Lashes Co mink lashes in Flawless
Hope everyone is having a fine Friday, so far! Until next time. :D

Hugs,
Cat

Navy Blue and Teal Glitter Mani

I call this one the Midnight Sorceress! :D I know I've been sharing a lot of Halloween-inspired makeup, so I wanted to add some festive nail designs in the mix as well.


This is pretty much the same technique that I use for my other glitter gradients. See my Halloween Disco Nails tutorial.  However, the lighter part of the gradient begins at the cuticle of the nail as opposed to the tips.

Products used:
  • Revlon Moon Candy polish in Galactic
  • Orly nail polish in It's Up To Blue
  • Wet N Wild Mega Rocks polish in Slap The Bass
More Halloween-inspired nail looks to come, so stay tuned!

Hugs,
Cat

Monarch Butterfly Inspired Makeup

Some really nice ladies from Instagram asked me to join them in a butterfly-themed makeup collaboration. Today was the due date and I'm still sick as heck, but I managed to come up with something reasonably cool.





I simplified the butterfly a bit, obviously. Had I felt well enough, I may have considered tackling a more accurate representation, but, ya know? All eyeshadows were from the Burning Heart palette by Sugarpill and ombre lips were fashioned from Make Up For Ever's Flash Palette. I also used a combination of pencil, gel, liquid, and pen eyeliners for the details.

Anyhoo, hope everyone is having a good weekend. It's raining here. :P

Hugs,
Cat
