Blog Buzz Weekly: What Are the Latest Must-Haves in Fashion, Self-Care, Beauty, and Lifestyle?

 

Beauty And The Cat

Being your resource for all things BEAUTYful, sometimes I share the BEAUTY with my cat, Miss Bella.  She loves to see all the packages I get, and when one is for her I know she is thinking…PURRfect, love it when you get me some goodies too! And with that, I am here to share with you Beauty And The Cat with the Luxury Cat Hammock.

This cat hammock by Pet Magasin is the cat's meow! It is a great looking Hammock for your kitty to get her cat naps in!

Easy to assemble and made from quality materials of maple hardwood for the frame and the Hammock itself is a neutral color (double sided), so it will blend right in with any home!

As always, Bella had to be in the midst of everything, so it did take me a bit to put this together as she kept sitting on the pieces.  But after about 30 minutes I was able to get this put together.  So now for the testing, NOT!

What do I mean by that? Well, Bella wasn’t having any of it at first, and this is because I did not pull strings tight enough on the hammock.  My cat is a typical scardey cat, and the wobbling of the hammock was too much for her.  So, I found out I had to make it a bit more taut, which was very easy.  All I had to do was to tie the strings much tighter and voila this hammock became the cat's pajamas!

 Other Ways To Get Your Cat Acclimated
Even though I made the hammock sturdy, it still took some time for Bella to stay in the hammock for an extended period.  So, I decided the lay some of her favorite toys on it.  I also moved her old sitting perch from the window and replaced with the cat hammock by Pet Magasin. Lastly, I decided to incorporate some cuddle time with Bella, she loves to be next to me, but not always on top of me. So just having her relax next to me in the Hammock, while I was working on the computer helped as well.

What Is This?

Time For A Cat Nap

I do plan on taking this hammock to our my vacation home that has a big bay window as Miss Bella will love to lay on it, as the morning sun hits her beautiful black fur!

So there you have it, some MEOWtastic times with Beauty And The Cat, until next time!

The Purrfect Way To Control Cat Litter Stink With The Litter Genie

While I am a BEAUTY lover, I am also a cat lover! So keeping things BEAUTYful for my kitty is also important! And that is why I was happy to partner up with Litter Genie to shut the lid on smelly cat litter, as my Bella wants her room to be BEAUTYful as well!

Ooh, That Smell, Can't You Smell That Smell?
Yeah, there have been times both Bella, and I have been singing that tune! While mine is the old Lynyrd Skynyrd’s classic song “That Smell,” neither of us want that smell to surround us. But rather to banish the cat litter odor from our home completely, and that is exactly what I did with the Litter Genie!

No more stinkies, PLEEASE

How To Get Your Eyeshadow To Stay On All Day

I get asked this question a lot, so here are my makeup Monday tips, you can stick with! Bottom line, it takes more than just luck to get your eyeshadow to stay.  If you follow these steps, you too will have eye-shadows that will stick around all day.

STEPS TO SUCCESS: 

1. Products:  You do get what you pay for.  Although, I am a heavy dupe promoter, if it not at least an 85% dupe, stick to the higher end products.
• Shadow should be heavily pigmented.
• Minimal fallout .
2. The Brush:  You must have the right brush(s), if you want the right look. 
• Stay away from brushes that come with the drugstore brands, they are low quality & the bristles usually fall out on your eyelids.
• You want to make sure that you avoid sponge applicators, as they absorb a lot of product.  You goal is to get the product on your eye, not the applicator. (in the long run, brushes end up saving you money)
• Make sure your brushes are cleaned regularly too.
3. Primer:  I explain primer in makeup, the same way, I would with a house.  Similar to primer that you would apply to a wall prior to painting, you want to do the same with your eyes.  Primer allows the color to adhere better, last longer, with little transparency and minimal fading.  Also, if you have a great primer it will prevent creasing and false wrinkles.
4. Layering:  Using an eyeliner or a white eyeliner on the eye and then build with color. This will make the colors bolder and darker.
5. Application:
• Blending correctly is very important.
• Where to apply the color: For starters, I recommend the 3 piece look. AKA, the lid, crease, and brow bone.
• You can make the color more vibrant by getting it wet. IMPORTANT: You want to mist your brush with water, not the shadow. 

So there you have it, my makeup Monday tricks on how to make your eye shadow stay on all day, until next time!
