What’s New Pussycat? POP Beauty Cat Eyes!


I’m no pro makeup artist. But there’s one beauty technique that I’ve got down pat - the elusive cat eye. It requires patience and a steady paw…but once you put in a little practice, a fierce fe-lined eye isn’t far off.

But what if practice doesn’t make perfect? What if your finished product is more Amy (Winehouse) than Angelina (Jolie)? Don’t claw your eyes out just yet. POP Beauty has just the product to produce a purr-fect cat eye.

POP Beauty Cat Eyes is a uniquely slanted eye crayon. Simply press it into the skin and follow the lash line - and it makes the perfect flick at the end, which is key to perfecting the look.
Go from "I don’t know how" to MEOW!

I was particularly impressed by how effortless it was to create a cat eye with this liner. The creamy texture of the crayon simply glides across the skin. And no more worrying about the uniformity of the wings at the outer corner of the eyes...with Cat Eyes, they're a perfect match - every time.


Cat Eyes isn’t deeply pigmented, so if you're looking to create a Nicole Ritchie-esque eye (I‘m obsessed), here's what I recommend:

* prep the lid with a primer
* Line the eye with Cat Eyes
* Trace over the line with a liquid liner
* Apply two coats of your favorite volumizing mascara

POP Beauty Cat Eyes comes in three colors (Black Onyx, Black Dahlia, and Black Olive) and is available at Sephora, amazon.com, dermstore.com, and popbeauty.co.uk.

Join Ideeli...Just Tell 'Em Spoiled Pretty Sent Ya


It seems that my addiction to ideeli.com is contagious. Ever since I reminded you all about this members-only online shopping community, I have been inundated with requests for invites. As there are only so many hours in the day and I am but one sleep-deprived blogger, I can't seem to keep up with the demand. So the friendly folks at Ideeli hooked me up with an invitation code to pass along to each and every one of you.

To become a member of Ideeli (it's free!), simply visit ideeli.com and type in fotohotcewek where it asks for your invitation code. It's that simple.

If you're on the prowl for a new purse (this is my life 24-7/365), there's really no better place to hunt. Every time I turn around, I see the most to-die-for handbags at pinch-me-I must-be-hallucinating prices.

Happy shopping!

Award Winning FOTD


Last night, I attended the PRSA/Philadelphia Pepperpot Awards - a celebration of outstanding performance in public relations by practitioners in agencies, industry, government, and non-profit organizations. The American Cancer Society’s Marketing Department (of which I am a member) was nominated for our efforts to pass Clean Indoor Air (smoke-free) legislation in Pennsylvania.

The Pepperpot Award has grown into one of the most coveted awards in the field of public relations, so I pulled out the big guns and went all out with my makeup. It’s a good thing I did, because my team ended up winning first place in the Public Affairs category! Yay us!

And the icing on the cake? Charm City Cakes, the bakery featured in the Food Network series, Ace of Cakes, created a magnificent confection that looked just like an actual pepperpot!

Here are the products I used to create my award-winning look:
