How to Use Tarte Lights Camera LASHES 4-in-1 Mascara

August 26, 2017 · Leave a Comment

If carefully applied, Tarte Lights Camera LASHES 4-in-1 Mascara gives a Zooey Deschanel-twice-the-size-of-a-normal-eye kind of look. The lashes are defined, even from a few feet away. Clumping is minimal, but the tube dries out quickly, perhaps due to the cute but problematic leatherette packaging making it difficult to complete close the cap tightly. But it’s a solid mascara for a special event to have dramatic yet natural lashes. Here are our best tips and tricks for getting the most out of this cult-favorite mascara.

Tarte Lights Camera LASHES is rich black mascara with full wand

Tarte Lights Camera LASHES is the BLACKEST black: a rich black, creamy mascara

Tarte lights camera LASHES mascara has been around a few years, but I didn’t try it until recently as I was satisfied with my then-current-but-now-discontinued-mascara.

Tarte Lights Camera LASHES 4-in-1 Mascara Is BEST USED FOR:

Natural, clump-free, highly defined lashes that create a big doe-eyed look.

This mascara, if applied carefully, gives long, defined lashes that stay clump-free and give a big-eyed look. It lasts the day with minimal fallout. It is not the biggest and lushest look when compared to mascaras like DiorShow or Benefit BadGal, but it does look the most natural yet defined lashes can look, in my opinion, making it suitable for daytime wear with light touchups for a more dramatic evening look. Good for a beguiling, defined eye that doesn’t look fake or like you are trying too hard, especially if you only apply one or two thin coats.

Tarte Lights Camera LASHES 4-in-1 Mascara Features

  • It is not sticky or itchy.
  • Look of a very wet mascara, but it dries rapidly
  • Didn’t clump, no smears or smudges on my eyelids
  • Vegan with conditioning ingredients like Olive Oil.
  • Paraben free.

How to Apply Tarte Lights Camera LASHES 4-in-1 Mascara

APPLICATION TIPS & Tricks

  • Using a disposable wand and a lash comb gave a very defined look. Using a mascara fan brush and lash comb out afterward with a disposable wand gave a long, soft, wispy look. Two coats with a disposable wand, top lashes only, had a nice bombshell lash but not tacky or trashy look.
  • Lights Camera LASHES was a bit more difficult to apply to my bottom lashes with the brush that came in the tube, so I recommend disposable or lash comb for bottom lashes.
  • TIP: Some neutral to negative reviews I see of this Mascara are reviewers have piled it on pretty thick in multiple coats. I did a very basic one coat, I attempted to coat from lash to tip on each lash and only doing the second coat if I missed a lash or a lash pointed in a weird direction and needed to be set straight. This gives all the length without the clumping I see some people having with this mascara.
  • If you have experienced clumping with this mascara when applying several coats, or one thicker multi-coat, I’ve found that one thin coat gives the dark rich black color and the length without the clumping of multi-coats.

RESULTS

The mascara is very dark and applies relatively thinly almost always without clumps, but they still need a combing.

I like this mascara. As long as it is applied carefully, it looks great. It gives a Zooey Deschanel/New Girl/Jessica Daye twice the size of a normal eye kind of look. The lashes seem very defined even from a few feet away, yet the mascara is not so obvious as makeup, making the lashes noticeable, not the makeup.

FALLOUT & WEAR

There is very light fall out, after a few hours I saw two or three black grains on my undereye area, my lashes didn’t have apparent flakes or areas the mascara wore off. Carry a q-tip to flick those away.

CAVEATS

Tarte Lights Camera LASHES is not necessarily a good mascara for a quick daytime touch up unless you carry a lash comb with you, which I do. But I found it didn’t need to be touched up if done properly in the first application. I did have an issue with 4-5 lower outer lashes tend to stick together and they always need a thorough combing with a lash comb.

The mascara is not waterproof, but I found it to be long-wearing like a waterproof. The waterproof version is Tarte Lights Camera SPLASHES, which loses some of the consistency in my opinion, and seems to be to be not as rich black, but pretty close.

WHAT I DON’T LIKE ABOUT Tarte’s Lights, Camera, LASHES

It dries out insanely fast, requiring a near constant re-purchase of mascara. It dries out within a few weeks, when plenty is left in the tube. I wouldn’t mind if I even got a good two months out of it, knowing I should replace my mascara every three, but at $23 for the full size, $10 for the mini, that is too expensive as effectively costs the same as a very high-end mascara such as Hourglass.

TIPS:

  • MAKE SURE THE CAP IS FULLY CLOSED. The tube comes in a leather-like, thicker snakeskin patterned packaging; this makes it harder to completely close the tube cap. Make sure to twist the cap on tightly, so your mascara does not dry out. When it is dry, it gets very flaky.
  • I keep this mascara in a zip lock baggie to keep it as airtight as possible.
  • I have resorted to cutting off the adorable packaging with a scissors or knife to get a better seal on the cap being closed. Underneath the pretty tube packaging is just a plain black tube.
  • After the first few uses, I put the mascara tube in a cup of hot water and let it sit for a few minutes to keep it smoother and less dried out before application
  • I always apply it with a disposable mascara wand or mascara fan brush
Tarte Lights Camera Lashes Mascara

Tarte Lights Camera Lashes Mascara comes with pretty but problematic packaging.

WHERE TO BUY Tarte Lights Camera LASHES MASCARA

Tarte Lights Camera LASHES Mascara is available at TarteCosmetics, Ulta, and Sephora for $23, $10 for the mini, and the best deal is the Tarte Picture Perfect Eyelash Curler Duo, containing a Tarte eyelash curler and a mini Tarte Lights Camera LASHES for $18 (our recommended pick).

How to Mascara Application Hack For Applying Wet Formula Mascaras

August 25, 2017 · 8 Comments

Wayne Goss has such great makeup application techniques and recently gave this simple but highly useful tip for How to Mascara Application Hack For Applying Wet Formula Mascaras:

bend the mascara wand before completely pulling it out of the tube, so the wand is at an angle.

Angled mascara brushes are not a new concept, some mascara brands even have built-in angled brushes. The angle does make an impressive difference in both control of where you apply the product and importantly, how much produce is distributed, especially getting in nice and close to the lashline.

Watch Wayne’s How to Mascara Application Hack For Applying Wet Formula Mascaras technique in this video:

[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=txZsw-ENMzk[/embedyt]

Our Experience

We tried the Mascara Application hack for ourselves, and it is actually pretty amazing on getting mascara right in close at the lash line, especially on the lower lashes, the shorter “arm” to the handle makes a difference in how much control there is in the application.

STYLECHICKS ADDITIONAL SUGGESTIONS

Three additional suggestions to make the most of this mascara application hack:

Bend a disposable mascara wand for optimal control and to get in close on bottom lashes

  1. Use Disposable Wands: Instead of using the wand that comes with your mascara, use disposable mascara wands. They are very inexpensive at places like Amazon and Sallys Beauty Supply (under $10 for like 200 of them). The disposable wands are a cheaper plastic and often more flexible, thereby less subject to breaking off the wand head by accident. This way, you can bend your wand without fear of breaking it off and getting stuck, leaving you with no cap for your mascara.
  2. Try angles other than just a 70 to 90-degree angle: You can shape the brush of your disposable mascara wand into other shapes including a c-shape to reinforce the curling capability of your wand.

    Curve a disposable wand into a c-shape to enhance the curl of top lashes

  3. FAN YOUR LASHES OUT. It is easier to manipulate the thin brush handle of a disposable wand between your fingers, so let the brush do the work to reduce smudges and fan out lashes. Rotate the thin arm between your forefinger and thumb to move the brush head so that the angle faces outward instead of inward in order to “fan out” the outer lashes, then give them one last brush forward.
  4. CLEAN UP: You can even follow up with a clean disposable mascara wand for combing out any clumps or to get the direction of lashes just the way you would like it. Just hold the clean wand in front of your lashes and blink through the comb to remove clumps.

SIDE BONUS: Disposable mascara wands give much better control and product distribution for very wet mascaras or mascaras with fibers such as Too Faced Better Than Sex, Benefit BADgal, DiorShow, and Urban Decay Perversion Mascaras, to name a few.

Wet mascaras like Benefit BadGal and UD Perversion apply more evenly but with all the glamour when using a bent disposable mascara wand

MagiForet 400ML Wood Grain Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser

August 24, 2017 · Leave a Comment

An essential oil diffuser is a wonderful way to enjoy aromatherapy in an office, spa, yoga studio or home. Diffusers can disperse invigorating essential oil scents to uplift a mood or energize you during a workout, they can provide calming aromas for sleep, or scents to improve mental clarity while working in a stale, dry office environment with forced air. Most diffusers are not very attractive or have a capacity large enough to use overnight, which is why we love the MagiForet Wood Grain Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser: it holds a whopping 400ml of water for 14 hours of continuous use, it has a unique 7 outlet misting mechanism and it’s an attractive piece that doesn’t have to be hidden away.

MagiForet Wood Grain Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser looks attractive with any decor

WHY USE AN AROMATHERAPY ESSENTIAL OIL DIFFUSER

Aromatherapy has long been known to enhance many activities including better sleep, improving mental clarity, easing anxiety, and it can lift a mood to increase energy levels and productivity. When combined with the ultrasonic cool mist humidifier feature of the MagiForet diffuser, it adds moisture to the air making it easier to breathe in an overly-dry bedroom for better sleep or even regulate the air in your cubicle or office at work.

Diffuse the essential oil of your choice in the MagiForet diffuser. I like Rosemary for mental clarity while working, lemon in the kitchen, peppermint while working out, sweet orange to air out a stale room

DIFFUSE ENERGIZING OILS AT WORK OR IN A HOME OFFICE

Do you have an afternoon energy slump at the office? Mid-afternoon I feel so tired that I need yet another cup of coffee when I’ve already had too much coffee already that day. Diffusing an energizing essential oil discretely in my office space both adds some moisture to the forced-air dry office environment and can diffuse an energizing essential oil such as peppermint, lemon or Rosemary. I diffuse Peppermint for energy, lemon to lift a mood, and Rosemary to improve concentration and mental clarity while working on a project.

The same holds true for a yoga workout or even to motivate myself to do pilates, or use my treadmill or stationary bike at home: if I find myself lacking the energy or desire to workout, I try diffusing an essential oil that can energize me such as Peppermint or Eucalyptus.

WHAT MAKES FOR A QUALITY DIFFUSER?

There are many diffusers on the market, how do you find a good one? I like one that has a large capacity so it doesn’t need constant refills, I prefer the cool mist is distributed evenly without dribbling water onto the surface underneath it, I like it to have an auto-shut off feature so I can use it overnight without worrying about risk if it runs out of the water. I like one with an even steam output, a nice long cord, and preferably, that it’s attractive enough to just leave out as part of my decor. All of this criterion is met in the MagiForet Diffuser.

FAVORITE STANDOUT MAGIFORET FEATURE: SUPERIOR DIFFUSING WITH A MULTI OUTLET DESIGN

I like the design of multiple mist outlet holes across the top of the diffuser with seven strong streams of mist to disperse across a larger area at once.

Shark mouth Shape with 7 mist outlets diffuse more moisture in finer mists than one hole diffusers

It can cover a room up to 270-375 square feet (25-35 square meters), far superior to most diffusers, even ones larger in size. The mist evaporates into the air, improving the air quality in overly dry rooms, but the mist is a steady light mist, so that nearby objects to not become soaked with water, as can happen with some humidifiers.

Seven diffusing outlets provide an even, steady cool mist

FEATURE OVERVIEW AT A GLANCE

CAPACITY

Large 400ML capacity (over 13 1/2 ounces) suitable for home, yoga studios, spas, and offices. This is enough to last overnight and then some. When you are sick and congested and want to use this to diffuse moisture and congestion-clearing Eucalyptus into the air, this diffuser gives plenty of hours of use off of one fill. Despite the large size capacity, it doesn’t have a huge footprint on a nightstand or desk.

The diffuser comes with a measuring water cup for easy refill

AUTO SHUT OFF SAFETY FEATURE

The Auto-shut off feature is an important feature because if it runs out of water, it won’t stay on, so there is no risk of it overheating. making it safe to use the diffuser overnight or leaving it in a child’s room.

ULTRASONIC COOL MIST HUMIDIFIER

The Ultrasonic Cool Mist Humidifier feature provides a consistent, even, drip-free steady and strong flow of cooling mist into the air.

MULTIPLE TIMER SETTINGS

There are four different timer settings for different purposes including for use during a workout session, to dissipate cooking odors for a few hours after dinner, for a soothing at home spa-night, or even for use overnight. They are one hour, three hours, six hours and continuous on mode.

Clear timer options of one, three, six hours or continuous mist and the colored light work independently

SOFT LED LIGHT COLOR CHOICES

There are seven LED soft light colors that display in a horizontal band, under the display buttons, and can be seen on aerial view through the steam outlets.

MagiForet Wood Grain Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser looks attractive with any decor. Press the light button on the left to display a series of seven soft LED colors

Blue color LED light option

The mist and light work independently: you can choose mist only with the LED light option off as seen here

QUIET

This diffuser is silent, so it does not disrupt sleep, and it is suitable for an office or a spa or massage therapy office.

ATTRACTIVE WOOD GRAIN

The wood grain on this is quite nice, it does NOT look like a thin veneer of wood over plastic, it’s a sturdy piece with a beautiful grain that fits the decor of a natural looking space such as a spa or yoga studio, it would look lovely in a kitchen to diffuse an essential oil to dissipate cooking odors, it fits in with a traditional or bedroom decor and it would look good in an office as it has an expensive look and feel to it.

Attractive wood grain design

MAKES FOR A GOOD GIFT

It comes boxed and is suitable for gift giving. It is sturdy construction with padded rubber feet on the base to protect both the diffuser and the surfaces it rests upon, so you can be assured the gift recipient will get years of use from this thoughtful gift.

MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE MAGIFORET DIFFUSER

It is easy to figure out how to plug it in and add water to the fill line. Add a few drops of the essential oil of your choice, put the top back on, and select the timer setting of your choice. The easy to read buttons are back lit by the LED colored light.

The LED color display is attractive and soothing, it adds a soft glow to the room that is relaxing when used at night, providing a bit of light to a dark room without being disruptive to sleep. It is a thin band of a gradient of color as it changes from shade to shade as a soft glow. It is not bright enough to be a true night light, but enough light to orient you in a dark room if you awake during the night.

I really like the design of how it disperses the cool mist through multiple outlets, not only is it functional in that it distributes steam into the air more evenly and quickly, it’s pretty to watch the swirling tendrils of steam dissipate into the air!

Swirly tendrils of mist fill the air with cool moisturizing mist and essential oils

There is absolutely no water spurting out or wet spots when using this diffuser. The essential oil aroma dispersion is even, and it is not overly strong or pungent yet the scent can still be detected.

CONCLUSION

Sturdy, attractive, and functional, the MagiForet 400ML Wood Grain Aromatherapy Essential Oil Diffuser provides an even, steady stream of cool mist to add moisture to an overly dry room or office with the option of LED soft colored light to add a soothing glow to the ambiance. I find this ideal for using in a bedroom, or to diffuse lemon oil in a kitchen after cooking or just to freshen the house if the home smells stale. If you are going to give a diffuser as a gift to an essential oil loving friend, this makes for a great one because it is so attractive, sturdy and versatile.

Summer Moscow Mule Recipe: Wild Raspberry & Watermelon Featuring the Kamojo Moscow Mule Copper Flutes Set

August 19, 2017 · Leave a Comment

Looking for the perfect drink for an end of summer party or festive occasion? There are always the quintessential classics, but it’s fun to customize some drinks with a new, signature twist. Summer is filled with such luscious fruits, the perfect opportunity to change up some of our favorites! One drink that’s especially adaptable is the Moscow Mule. You only need a few key elements for a successful Moscow Mule, and the rest of the ingredients allow for creativity and customization. Our current Moscow Mule obsession? Raspberry Watermelon Moscow Mules! See our recipe below.

The inspiration for this summer drink comes from two things: the wild raspberries are out in full force the garden this time of year, and we want an excuse to use our new pure copper Kamojo Moscow Mule Copper Flutes Set

Serve an end-of-summer Moscow Mule in these Kamojo Copper Champagne Flutes

WHY A PURE COPPER DRINKING VESSEL IS IMPORTANT FOR MOSCOW MULES

While you can serve a Moscow Mule in just about any kind of glass, copper is preferable. I prefer the Kamojo Moscow Mules because the pure copper has a tarnish resistant coating, so they stay beautiful and shiny without having to polish them, making them easy to clean. We previously touted what we love about the classic mug style Kamojo Moscow Mules in a beginning of summer Moscow Mule recipe, Kamojo also makes a copper champagne flute set for a festive, more formal, or celebratory event.

Kamojo Moscow Mule Copper Flute

I also like the pretty hammered pure copper with its’ tarnish-resistant high-shine and the beautiful shape, it adds something to the overall visual appeal of the drink and looks so distinctive!

The beautiful hammered copper pattern

The hammered copper of the Kamojo Champagne Flutes looks beautiful in many festive occasion tablescape color palettes

What’s a good type of drink to serve in a copper champagne flute? As a rule: if it’s bubbly or fizzy – copper kicks that carbonated or bubbly action it up a notch: any seltzer, soda, beer and of course, champagne or prosecco. Also, if it’s a drink best served cold, copper is your best bet.

The reason for this is copper does two things: it quickly makes cold ingredients colder, and bubbly ingredients bubblier. That’s why a copper vessel is a key to a good Moscow Mule, especially for a summertime drink.

Pure copper immediately chills the drink and keeps it cold on contact

Copper also enhances the flavor of some ingredients, enhancing the crisp, citrus and sour notes of go-to ingredients like ginger, lime, and cucumbers.

The pure copper in the Kamojo Moscow Mule Copper Flutes Set enhances the flavors of mint, berries, lime, and ginger and even makes vodka taste better

INGREDIENT CHOICES

A key ingredient to a Moscow Mule is ginger beer. Ginger adds the kick to the mule and is generally obtained from ginger beer or in a pinch, a quality brewed ginger ale. The ginger ale is sweeter, the ginger beer is tarter and for some, might need the addition of simple syrup. I also like to add a thin slice of fresh ginger as part of a garnish or muddled at the bottom of the drinking vessel, or if you prefer your drinks a bit sweeter, a ginger simple syrup can be used.

Copper enhances the taste of fresh ginger and ginger beers and ginger ales

FRUITY INCLUSION OPTIONS

Lime and ginger are the core classics of the mule, and plenty of fruits taste great with both of them.

Copper enhances the lime and berries taste and increases carbonation of ginger beers and ales

Store bought and wild raspberries are abundant and delicious this time of year.

Reed’s brews both a gluten-free ginger beer and ginger ales with real cane sugar and they are pretty good in mules. Their raspberry ginger ale has all the kick and fizzy features of a ginger beer. Raspberry Ginger Beer or Ale makes sense in a mule, as so many of the ingredients in a Moscow Mule taste great with raspberries: raspberry and lime, raspberry and mint, raspberry and ginger. But it still needs something to make it more summer, and a bit juicer and sweeter: like watermelon!

Ice cold Ginger Beer or Ale blends well with summer fruits and vodka

Raspberry Ginger Ale or Beer brews taste great in a fruity Moscow Mule when paired with fresh berries, mint, and lime

But lots of fruit combinations work: blackberries, lime, plum or pear and cantaloupe is a delicious alternative option, the cantaloupe and plum sweetly temper the ginger and the blackberries add a nice sweet but tart note. Or another option that goes surprisingly well with the ginger is lemon and fig!

Cantaloupe mellows the sharp ginger and citrus notes, mint and blackberries add a subtle sweet taste to the blend

Substitute cantaloupe juice for watermelon juice in the recipe below, and pair it with blackberries

Cantaloupe and blackberries paired with lime, mint and ginger taste wonderful in a copper flute

Summer fruits peak the Ginger Beer

Summer fruits peak Ginger Beers and Ales and contrast nicely with the citrus flavor of the lime. Any berry works wonderfully to add some flavor to this traditional drink

THE STYLE CHICKS WILD RASPBERRY MELON END OF SUMMER MOSCOW MULE RECIPE

Just in time for your final farewell end-of summer soirees, summer picnics, a signature drink for summer weddings and celebrations, and for your end of summer blowouts.

Ready to make a summer fruit Moscow Mule?

INGREDIENTS:

  • crushed or soft ice (see recipe below)
  • Wild or purchased raspberries (or blackberries if preferred)
  • watermelon
  • mint sprigs
  • 2 ounces vodka
  • 4 ounces of ginger beer or tart ginger ale (we chose Reed’s Brewed Raspberry Ginger Ale and skipped the simple syrup)
  • 3/4 ounce freshly squeezed lime juice
  • fresh ginger (optional)
  • 1/4 ounce simple syrup (optional)

Summer watermelon, fresh ginger, lime, combined with raspberries and mint fresh from the garden make for tasty combination

DIRECTIONS

  1. Juice the limes. Set aside remaining lime slices for garnishing.
  2. Make watermelon juice. Put watermelon chunks in a blender, discard pulp if desired, pour the juice into a jar or glass, put aside.
  3. Muddle together a few raspberries, and lightly press a mint leaf and a thin slice of ginger (if desired). Pour the resulting mix into the copper mule.
  4. Add the lime juice over the muddled mix.
  5. Fill mule champagne with crushed or slushie ice, over the muddled mix. Halfway through adding ice, I like to toss in a few more berries and then another squeeze of the lime to fully infuse the drink.
  6. Add the vodka
  7. Add the melon juice
  8. Add the ginger beer
  9. Add simple syrup if desired for sweetness
  10. Garnish with plenty of fresh mint sprigs, berries, lime or even a small watermelon wedge if desired!

Garnish with plenty of mint sprigs!

ALTERNATIVES

  • Some may prefer a “neater” approach to mix the lime juice, vodka, melon juice, and in a shaker with the spent limes and giving the mix a good shake, then pour that shaker mix through a strainer into the ice filled mule glass, and then add the ginger beer to the mule.
  • Adjust measurements to taste, some extra lime particularly enhances the berries and watermelon!

Extra lime enhances the berry and watermelon flavors, we added a halved lime to each mule

SOFT ICE

Notice reference to soft ice above. Soft ice is not as hard as ice cubes, but harder than slushie ice. It is often served at Drive-In type restaurants, which remind me of the summers of my youth.

Due to the lovely flute shape of the Kamojo Moscow Mule Copper Flutes Set, you may prefer crushed or soft ice. It is easy to make yourself at home with a big bottle of carbonated water like seltzer water.

Fill smaller to medium-size ice-cube trays with the seltzer, let them set a few hours. Right before using them, give them one or two hard whacks to break them up a bit. While soft ice tends to melt quickly in a regular drink, the copper mules keep them suspended in soft ice form for much longer without melting.

CONCLUSION

So many events and milestones are worth celebrating, engagements, promotions, graduations, weddings, just to name a few. Champagne is often the go-to libation for celebrating, but it is fun to change it up a bit with a mule themed drink, and it still feels festive and celebratory when served in Kamojo Moscow Mule Copper Flutes Set.

A traditional bakery not far from the Yale University Campus, we get all our special occasion cakes here! From now on, any event or celebration worthy of a bakery cake qualifies as an excuse to use the Kamajo Copper Champagne Flutes

Kamajo Copper Champagne Flutes are ideal as wedding flutes for the bride and groom or even the entire bridal party, or to serve appetizers such as shrimp cocktail.

Summer fruit-filled Kamojo Copper Moscow Mules Champagne Flutes: Icy cold, satisfying, festive, and definitively summer!
