Be the cat! Halloween Prep with Johnny Loves Rosie Chelsea Cat Ears Headband and Pierre Rene Cosmetics!

I doubt you've missed it because it does come around every year, but it's Halloween soon, and even if you are party-less like me (so far!), one definitely needs to prep a cute but simple look for answering the door to hopeful trick or treaters! I've recently acquired a few pieces of kit that I have put together to help me morph into something a little more feline.

The Pierre Rene Gel Waterproof Eyeliner (£14) is my new fave thing to put on my face. I much prefer using a brush over a pen or pencil to apply my flicks and this makes it so easy. The gel is a slick, dense black and you only need one stroke to get an opaque line. The little integrated brush is perfect for the job and has a nice taut bristle. It's also ridiculously hard wearing and boasts a 24hr waterproof lock on your skin. I can't vouch for the 24hr thing because I'm not that hardy myself, but I can say that I do have to soak it off with remover after about 12 hours, so ta dah! 

The Pierre Rene Eyebrow Set (£12) is a pretty cool price compared to something like HD Brows but this colour set doesn't really work for my black brows. I am using the darkest brown powder in the palette and the wax but the other two colours seem a waste. However it does apply rather nicely, though I'm not massively keen on the applicator provided, it's just not precise enough for the job, an angled brush would be more helpful. Regardless, it does the job but I think we all have a fave brow product and this one isn't going to knock mine off the top spot just yet.

And with that here is my finished look. The headband is the quite simply adorable Johnny Loves Rosie Chelsea Cat Ears (£18). Unlike cheaper supermarket versions, it's really well made with beautifully finished edges and lace. This is an investment piece that you will bring out every year, I think everyone needs a cat ears headband in their lives to be honest.

I can't wait for Halloween, it's not technically a holiday over here but it's definitely my fave 'occasion' after Christmas and let's face it, any opportunity to look like a kitty is one that should be grabbed with both paws!

Are you planning anything for Halloween?
