Happy Halloween loves!  This holiday has been one of my favorites for as long as I can remember for equally as many reasons.  It brings back so many wonderful memories from childhood like dusky treks for oodles of chocolate, a reason to dress up in ways that would never been acceptable otherwise, a huge opportunity to get my hands on my mother's makeup as a little girl and it is the gateway to the holiday season.  Today I wanted to take the chance to highlight one classic makeup style that can be exaggerated on a fun day and night like this or elegantly worn every or any day.  The cat eye is an iconic look done so memorably by Twiggy and fabulously today by the every girl.  While it may look daunting to achieve it is actually pretty simple to pull off.  Want to know the single trick that makes it a snap?  Scotch tape.  Yes, that's all.  While I could go into a long and detailed explanation about how to do it, this nine step photo tutorial above does it perfectly.  Who knew that an office staple could be such a beauty bag must-have.  Trust me and try it.  Some other amazing products I love and use daily are linked below.  Whether your style be daring or demure these are some beautiful ways to get there.  Hope you're enjoying a wonderful start to the week!

It's no secret that I am a bonafide beauty junkie, always thrilling in the discovery of the best of the bunch when it comes to ways to pamper and perfect.  Makeup looks are also something I tend to fall in love with and one of my most-loved is the perfectly lined eye.  Cleanly defined with a striking swipe of ebony, this look goes back more than half a century ago when women were coyly playful and their makeup look served as the perfect match.  The look still stands strong today, from modern day icons like Adele to everyday girl bloggers like Jenny Cipoletti and Chriselle Lim, making it a most-coveted glamorous look.  The secret lies in a strong tipped pen liner, steady hand and lush shade of black.  My favorite pick for getting the job done has been Stila's "Stay the Day" liquid pen liner.  Recently, however, I discovered this unassuming little gem from Sephora.  It's actually half the price of my original choice and works (dare I say) even better.  It's definitely worth a look.  Other must-haves for getting this look right are a nude or white shadow, really great mascara and stay put eyebrow pencil to frame the look out.  With tools in hand, the how-to is next.  While I don't have my own step by step video on how to create this look, this one here by Michelle Phan gives easy steps for doing it yourself.  Take a look and if you feel inspired try these products linked below to get the look at home.  

Have a beautiful Wednesday!
