If you are nail color chameleon like me, Sula is a must! My 9-5 requires that I wear the predictable professional polish, but sometimes I like to mix it up with a bright burst for the weekend or a fresh coat for an after work rendezvous. Unfortunately, this is reality and painting my nails four times a week is just not going to happen, well at least not until I discovered Sula! Sula Nail color is not your normal polish it is a paint and peel nail color, which means when you are ready to change the color you just peel it off. No nail polish remover is required. Although it is not intended for long wear it can transformed by using Sula base and top coat, but that really defeats the purpose of why I am loving it right now!
Sula is affordable, fun, and feasible! Choose from a variety of colors, or buy a pre-picked trios! For more information and FAQ’s go to Sula Faq’s !

Where was Cargo Cosmetics founded? That was the question to which I answered correctly in order to win a full size LashActivator by Cargo. I was so excited to receive my LashActivator, albeit skeptical of the promised results. I was checking my mail religiously.
Upon receiving my LashActivator, I read the promise “In just 30 days, LashActivator™ is clinically shown to boost the appearance of lashes by 169% over the rate of natural growth.” My lashes are average. I wouldn’t say I have ever wanted to change them in anyway but the thought of longer lashes to bat was very appealing. Today I have completed thirty days of daily use. I even used it on the weekends to ensure LashActivator received a fair chance and the results are in.
Drum roll please… Cargo LashActivator truly did lengthen my lashes!!! Now I have no way to technically measure the length but a girl knows the length of her lashes and mine are now out of this world. I remember around day twenty applying the LashActivator thinking, “Oh my gosh they just don’t stop”, even my boyfriend commented on the length! So if you are looking for longer lashes without scary side effects, I would definitely recommend Cargo LashActivator! This mascara took my lashes to new lengths and left me loving the results!

Upon first glance of Tarina Tarantino’s new make-up line
I thought……
Betsey Johnson?
However, I have come to realize Tarina is a little more enchanted than rockstar, even with the pink hair!
This wildly successful accessory queen and now budding beauty mogul has just launched her new line of beauty products through Sephora, and we are very excited to see where Tarina will take our look!
The packaging is delightful mix of glam and innocence, but the proof is in the product and we can’t wait to see how it holds up!
Eye Dream Hypershadow
Conditioning Lip Sheen
Sparklicity Shimmer dust
What do you think of TT’s new line? Love it or Leave it?
