As much of a tomboy as I was growing up, I just love me some kitten eyes now.
Nothing says Kapow Kapow, Baby more than smoky, smoldering, meow-mix kitten eyes. Think Sophia Loren – Eva Mendes – Joan Collins – Brigitte Bardot – smoky and spicy hot!
Not appropriate for day time. Barely appropriate for night (me-yowza!)

My source to get such effects? From makeup artist Alexis Vogel http://alexisvogelmakeup.com
A special benefit? Order the complete kit since it comes with a “how – to” DVD. Yep. Perfect for dorks like me whose high school beauty kit consisted of Bonne Bell lip smackers and match-my-mood blush. I’m guilty of 80s fashion crimes including black eyeliner and blue shadow .. oh yeah .. worked it, worked it. But, as I matured, I poured over Cosmopolitan and tried my best to look like that… but, I didn’t have the tools or the know-how. Then .. along comes Alexis Vogel who delivers a kit of well made products and the expertise – a super secret pass-key into a world of girl-dom that I knew existed but couldn’t attain.
Why makeup?
Because I like it.
Because I’m creative.
Because I like to put it all together and see what happens.
I’m not a Birkenstock kinda girl. I’m just ..not.
On date nights with the hubbs, I’m all about hair that’s full, lips that are red and …cleavage. I like clothes that are fitted and eyes that sparkle. (And so does he ..)
Come to think of it, the holidays are approaching which means time off and lots of date nights — I do believe it’s time to re-order. Whee !!
Great topic and point of view.
My wife dolls up for me as well. I know she knows I love her without all that glam on, but I am smart enough to make it a point to compliment the gorgeous way she looks when she tries to impress me.
smart man (positive reinforcement works wonders, doesn’t it?) Peace.
My kinda woman!
Thanx!
