Yummy, summer ice cream alert. I am an ice cream addict. And tea-lover. Alas!

Tea-rrific! Ice Cream is here.  Tea-rrific! Ice Cream came to be when the founder was searching for an ice cream that offered more unique, complex flavors, the finest ingredients, and finished clean off of the palate without all of those unnecessary preservatives, artificial colors, stabilizers, etc.

Cargo Cosmetics Swimmables Water Resistant Eye Pencil in Black Sea

May 27, 2016

I always LOVE an inner-rimmed eyeliner look – but whenever I try it, I look like I’m in a bad SnapChat filter – or a horror film.

Enter: Kim Kardashian West, Red carpet, Cannes: all out with a graphic eyeliner look created by long-time makeup artist, Mario Dedivanovic.


Mario used the Cargo Cosmetics Swimmables Water Resistant Eye Pencil in Black Sea ($18) to define Kim’s eyes.

“I used Cargo Cosmetics Swimmables Waterproof Eye Pencil in black to line the inner rims of her eyes all around on the top and bottom,” Mario mentioned on Kim’s website and app. The glam god continued, “Then using a small brush, I applied a matte black shadow along the lower lash line over the pencil and extended [it] outward and upward [but] I didn’t line the top lid or apply much shadow to [it].”

To nab Kim’s look, use your Cargo pencil to line the top and bottom waterline. Swimmables’ water resistant formula is ideal for lining your inner rims.

Rim your bottom lash line with a series of dots then connect them using swift strokes to blend together. The Cargo Cosmetics Swimmables Pencil won’t budge or smudge once set.

After it sets, go over the bottom lash line again to create a heavier line. Layering liner is one of Mario’s insider secrets.

Take a small brush and dab it in into a matte black eye shadow  and layer on top. To create the wing, just extend the line out matching the end of the eyebrow using a series of quick swiping motions.

Finish the look with two to three coats of Boundless Lashes Mascara and keeps lips neutral.

LOVE: snapperock uva swimwear for kids (and parents!)

May 13, 2016

Girls

With year round LA sun, if you think I’m not obsessed with covering my kids from head to toe with sunscreen, you’re wrong. But my sunscreen fantasies often fail very short. They hate being slathered, run away half the time and it all washes off in the pool anyway. The waterproof stuff is often so yucky and toxic. So why not add one extra layer of protection? Literally!

Enter Snapper Rock (www.snapperrock.com) is the leading children’s swimwear brand with UV50+ protection, blocking 98% of all harmful rays. Just in time for summer!! Snapper Rock has the most adorable, picky-kid approved styles including bikinis, shorts, rash guards and one-pieces.With over 80 styles, colors and prints in the best sun protective swimwear on the market.

My daughter is so ga-ga over the line, the both of us spend way too long looking at every style and option, trying to pick. My son looks so fricken cute in the board shorts, I want to eat him. I took super crappy photos of them last week wearing them, so I’ll spare you my bad photography and offer some pretty styles from the online shop.

Go check it out and grab something cute, it’s a win win for all!
