Massive Glitter Cat Eye
This is my dramatic cat eye makeup. This eye is perfect for a night out, and really reminds me of something I might see on a runway.
How I did it:
-I first applied thick black eyeliner and smudged it with my finger to create a nice base.
-Next, I applied a matte black shadow on my lid to create an opaque base.
-Then, using clear lipgloss for the adhesive, i packed on MAC reflects blackened red glitter with a stiff brush.
-To create the cat eye, I put a piece of tape between my eye and my eyebrow for a clean edge, and took the eyeliner agan and drew a line. Then, connect the end of that line to your crease for a large cat eye.
-Dab the clear gloss on the cat eye and apply more glitter.

Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Scrub
So I first started using Neutrogena acne stress control scrub about a year ago. It worked alright, but I didn't find it doing anything amazing. This past year, I have been under a lot of stress though. Everytime I would go to one of my volleyball tournament, I would come back with some new, red friends on my face. So I picked up the scrub and decided to try it again. Well, it really does work if your under stress! I use it every morning in the shower now; and my stress-induced break outs are gone. :) It smells amazing, like cucumbers, and is very invigorating. It has tiny blue beads that gently cleanse your face; while the creamy part of the scrub lathers great. Overall, I would highly reccomend this product!

Using my MAC pigments from a holiday collection, I used the color Teal as eyeliner.
How I did it:
I took a thin eyeliner brush, (non-sticky lip brushes can work too for a thicker line!) and dipped it into water. Then collect some pigment onto the brush, and apply as you would liquid liner. The result; a gorgeous green-blue color!
