Cosmetic Trends: The Cat Eye.

The Cat Eye is so hot right now - and I am loving it. Simply flip through your favorite magazines, and you will see the cat eye look in almost every fashion or designer ad.

My beautiful friend, Christina, of eBeautyDaily, is running an amazing contest, called "Show Me Your Cat Eye" and she is giving away the ultimate Cat Eye Kit, the Get in Line Kit from Beth Bender Beauty.

Can I have one of those amazing kits too so I can have that gorgeous Cat Eye like Beyonce? I'd like to rock the Cat Eye in my suburban, every day life!

M·A·C Painterly: Paint Pot Eyeshadow.

They are here, in my hands, and I love them. M·A·C Painterly Pot Eye Shadows have such a wonderful texture, smoothing right over the eyelid. They never crease, and provide a beautiful wash of color. I even tried a few as eyeliners, and they work very well for that purpose too. Couple that with the fact that is 102 degrees here, with 97% humidity, my eye makeup is looking stunning - not melting away, whatsoever!

Another hot collection, just launched today. This is M•A•C Painterly.

Painterly Pots:
"The innovative new formula of Carnuba Butter and Thixcin wax feels like a cream shadow and lasts for hours with no creasing, caking, or transfer. Not commonly found in cream eye shadows, the formula is easy to apply, blend and mix with M•A•C eye shadows and liners. It's second skin-like adhesion and medical patch polymer keeps moisture in for more comfort and allows you to build seamless coverage without the heaviness.
