Best Drugstore Liquid Eyeliner

Maybelline Line Stiletto Felt Tip Liquid Liner Review

PROS
super easy to apply
sturdy brush applicator
long-wearing
very black
no shimmer

CONS
not waterproof

Sometimes I will wear a primer with it just to ensure that it will last from the time I wake up to the time I go to sleep.

My Favorite Swimsuits !!


The Op swimwear brand at Wal-mart is my favorite !! 
This line is very affordable. 



Plain colored swimsuits are $6 for each separate
Patterned swimsuits are $8 for each separate.

These are some of my swimsuits from this line :)


(The cheetah top is actually from Target but the bottoms are Op)

These swimsuits have lasted me several summers!

Personally, I don't think it is worth the splurge for expensive swimwear

Turquoise Cheetah Nails !!

I was actually inspired by a picture I saw from The Cat Eyes Have Its Blog 
This is my recreation:

It's SUPER easy and SUPER cute :)
THESE ARE THE THINGS YOU WILL NEED:

A Nail Color
(I used "For Audrey" by China Glaze)
A Spot Color
(I used "The Next CEO" by Nicole by OPI)
A Stripe/Line Color
(I used a black color by Stripe Rite)
A Top Coat
(I used an Essie Top Coat)
STEP 1: 
Clip and file nails as needed.

STEP 2: 
If you choose, apply a base coat to your nails (I don't)

STEP 3: 
Choose your color
I obviously chose a turquoise color 
"For Audrey" by China Glaze

STEP 4: 
DOT on a spot color, 
I went with a bronze color "The Next CEO" by Nicole by OPI
I just took the same brush the nail polish came with to dot it on. 
No fancy tools needed :)
Don't try to make the spots perfect. 
Cheetah spots aren't perfect circles :)

STEP 5: 
With a skinny brush and black polish, 
Draw on thick black lines surrounding the spots.
(Just look at the picture for reference)

STEP 6: 
Add smaller spots with the same skinny brush and black polish

STEP 7:
Top it off with a top coat!
