Hey Kat! I want to try liquid eyeliner and I'm a little nervous since I've never used it before. Do you have any tips?

practice practice practice hahaha. I’ve been using eyeliner for years and I’m still learning!

A bunch of places… I like to say I’m an emotional shopper hahaha. I shop when I’m bored/tired/sad/upset/angry. Some of my favorites: Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters, Forever 21, ModCloth.

To the girl that just posted about having bad acne,
I have been suffering from acne since I was 12/13 (I am now almost 20). I know how you feel. There are some days that my face gets so bad that I don't even want to leave my house. It makes me sad that people will pick on people and call them mean names when it's not even his or her fault that they have bad skin. They are insecure about themselves and find a weakness in others and pick on them to make themselves feel better. Just as Kat said you are beautful and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. :) As for stuff to use to cover acne, for over a year now I have been using Sheer Cover mineral concealer and foundation. It does wonders! Also a little tip, wear blush. I feel like when ever I wear blush it helps to distract from my blemishes. If you don't already wear blush, try it! :)

I love it when we all help each other :)

What can I do to prevent acne from forming on my back?

Check out Murad’s acne body wash and clarifying spray

Eyelash Primer Potion

A few weeks ago a wonderful girl at Ulta opened my eyes (or eyelashes) to the fact that popular mascara such as Covergirl or Maybeline can actually weaken your lashes. Next time you buy a new tube, look for ingredients such as wax, proteins, vitamins A, E, keratin, etc. These are ingredients that will nourish your lashes and prevent breakage (just like your hair).  For extra long lashes, apply Urban Decay’s Eyelash Primer Potion (click here to view the product).  Tiny fibers cling together to create fuller, longer lashes. I just started using it so I will let you know how it goes :) 

And as always remember to wash your makeup off before you go to sleep!

Kat! Do you know what would be the best acne wash for a person who doesn't have severely bad acne but has fairly a few pimples. I want to use something that will clear it up & not just buy a product that JUST cleans your face.... you know? I know there are so many out there but do you have a suggestion.... I been using Oxy for years and it use to work but I think my skin is now to use too it! Thanks girl! xx

Clean and Clear is always a go-to of mine. It’s not too strong but it’s strong enough to keep your skin clear.
