I am so excited that it’s getting warmer here in Hawaii.  Well, don’t get me wrong… Winter is still my favorite time of year, but summer in Hawaii is like spending the season at the beach, literally.  Because of the beautiful weather most of the spring and summer season, my family and I tend to hit the sand and the waves quite often between April and August.  But, being “beach ready” isn’t no easy task.  While many stress that a beach body is essential, for me, I like to make sure I got everything I need to feel good while enjoying myself.  The last thing I want while sun bathing on the sand is to have my body hair stealing the show from me.  So, getting beach ready for me means getting rid of the hair.  Have you ever shaved the day before stepping into the ocean?  Ouch!!  It’s painful and burns so usually I have to make sure that I shave days before hitting the sand.  But, with Emjoi’s Epi Slim+ e18, I don’t have to worry about any of that.

epislim+, emjoi, epilator, shaving, hair removal, hair, ingrown hair, product review, beauty, epilation,

I’ve been a huge fan of Emjoi epilators this year because they have made things so convenient for me.  While I did have IPL hair removal on my legs several years ago, I still have strays and I still have underarm hair that grows.  The use of an epilator allows me to quickly and effectively remove my hair from my body (or my face) with little to no discomfort.  I love that Emjoi literally has an epilation model for each and every woman’s needs and expectations.

The Epi Slim+ e18 (retails for $34.95) is a perfect on-the-go device.  It’s ultra portable and compact, which makes it easy for me to reach areas like my underarm and bikini line (my most sensitive spots).  The results can last up to 6 weeks time, I find I’m using it every 3 weeks (but my hair grows fast) and I think it’s great that it can remove that unwanted hair as short as 0.3mm from the root.  With 18 patented 3-disc tweezers that remove the hair quickly and efficiently – leaving me without the hair and skin irritation.

epislim+, emjoi, epilator, shaving, hair removal, hair, ingrown hair, product review, beauty, epilation,

The Epi Slim+ e18 is battery operated which makes using it very easy.  I have an Emjoi that requires a plug in and this way – I can reach all my “hard to reach” areas without a cord tripping me up.  With built-in Erase Glide Technology to glide your device back and forth or circular over your hair to leave you with smooth, hair free skin in a matter of just seconds.

epislim+, emjoi, epilator, shaving, hair removal, hair, ingrown hair, product review, beauty, epilation,

The disc of the unit opens at an optimal 14mm and operates at 540 strokes per second so that these tweezers eliminate the majority of hair at the first pass and by lifting the hair and removing it quickly.  It’s such a convenient little device because it allows me to remove my hair so easily.  Honestly, I have never tried an epilator till this past year and I don’t know why it took me so long.  My underarms would get so irritated from shaving and with the epilator, now I don’t have to worry about irritations because there are no razor cuts or burns.

epislim+, emjoi, epilator, shaving, hair removal, hair, ingrown hair, product review, beauty, epilation,

Like I stated before, going into the ocean after shaving your legs can really burn your legs or leave them itchy.  But I can use my Epi Slim+ e18 by Emjoi the day before or the day of and I won’t have any issues.  My skin is smooth and hair removal is a breeze.  I’m really enjoying this product and have already taken it on a short trip with me.  It’s so convenient and worth every penny.

Emjoi was presented the Customer Choice Award from QVC, year after year.

How about you?  Have you tried an epilator before?  Have you tried this one from Emjoi?  What are your thoughts and how do you like it?

Oh am I excited to share these gorgeous beauties with all of you.  A couple of weeks ago I shared with you the “You Had Me At Aloha” Palette from Cargo Cosmetics (you can read about it here) and I really wanted to share these gorgeous thangs with you then, but decided that the palette truly needed it’s own post devoted strictly to it’s u’i-ness (u’i means beauty in Hawaiian).  So, today – I finally get the chance to share with all of you the Swimmables Longwear Eye Shadow Sticks from the New Spring and Summer 2017 Collection.

Cargo Cosmetics, cargo, swimmables, spring 2017 collection, summer 2017 collection, shadow stick, beauty, makeup, swatches, swimmables, longwear eye shadow stick, eye shadow stick, cream eye shadow, review,

The Cargo Swimmables Longwear Eye Shadow Sticks retail for $20.00 each pencil.  The new Spring and Summer collection for 2017 includes eight gorgeous shades that offer you wearable shades or pops of colors to create your show stopping Spring and Summer looks.  These eye shadow sticks basically were created to work well with the You Had Me At Aloha Palette (which is also a part of the same release).  These shadow sticks are lightweight, creamy and crease proof.  They are water-resistant and offer you high coverage color in a formula that glides the lids or eyes effortlessly.  Once the shadow stick is applied, the formula has a 20 second play time to be blended (so work quickly) before it sets.  Once it sets, the color stays true and lasts as long as you do.  It comes off when you take it off.

I love the longevity and lasting power of these shadow sticks.  They work well for me on the the lower lash line, even through my water eyes and allergies.  But, while they will last all day and don’t crease on my oily lids, they are still fairly easy to remove when it’s time to come off.  The shades are perfect for me to use every day as an all over the lid look or on the go when I need quick color to bring out my brown eyes.  No matter the reason, these are perfect and I like that they are creamy enough to use as a base for the shadows in the palette from the collection.

Use these shadow sticks to create an entire eye look and blend easily with a brush or your finger tips.  I love using Paradise Bay (turquoise) as a pop of color on the lower lash line.  Glacier Bay also makes a great shade to apply to my waterline to help brighten my eyes or to the inner corner of my eyes to make my eyes seem more open and wide.

Considering the long wear and how creamy your shade stick is – you get quite a bit of product which means you’ll be able to create countless looks utilizing the different shades.

I have had the chance to try out quite a bit of products from Cargo Cosmetics over the year.  And, I may sing their praises but I’m always impressed with the products they produce and I’m honestly surprised that Cargo is not talked about as much as they should be.  The brand consistently puts out great products and these are definitely no exception.  I think any of these shadow sticks (while a bit on the pricier side) give you the option of creating a showstopping glam look or something every day for you to use.  The options are endless.  Prior to trying any of the shadow sticks from this collection, I have already owned several from a previous collection and have loved and enjoyed them.

If you didn’t already know – I am born and raised in Hawaii on the island of Maui.  While it’s quite expensive to live here, it’s my island home and I’m proud of it.  My families roots and ancestry go back several years and my Great Grandmother was even of 100% Hawaiian ancestry.  Because of this, I’m always VERY proud of where I come from and the great things that Hawaii has to offer.  The islands are a wonder of talent, many of which come from the music industry.  My parents are musicians, so I have definitely seen my fair share of talented song birds and instrument players over the years.  One very talented person who comes from my island home of Maui is Anuhea Jenkins and I’m excited to share that she has recently collaborated with one of my favorite cosmetic brands, Cargo Cosmetics.  Today I’m going to share with you the You Had Me At Aloha palette – a new and limited edition release.  Let’s learn more about it, shall we?

This gorgeous limited edition palette called:  You Had Me At Aloha is hawaiian themed with 12 gorgeous shadows.  Retailing for just $34.00 this palette includes a very versatile mix of neutral shades and pops of color to create gorgeous and stunning eye looks.  Each shade is inspired by Hawaii’s beautiful natural beaches and floral and forest landscapes.

The shades through out the palette are laid out in 3 quads and 6 duos to perfectly coordinate and achieve both day and night looks.  I have also been enjoying pairing different colors outside of the coordinated tones (like Kai, Lei, Shaka and Shell) to create my own custom looks.  The palette also comes with a versatile dual-ended eye shadow brush that will allow you to apply the color and blend as well as a black pencil eye liner that can be sharpened to complete your entire look.

I’ve had this palette now for a few weeks (since it was released on Cargo’s website) and I was not only intrigued but very excited to get it when I posted about the collaboration between Cargo and Anuhea last year.  When I talked about the collaboration months ago, I had no idea what the products would be or the colors so as soon as I seen it… I fell in love.  This particular palette screams “Honey” to me because the colors within are literally those that I use all the time or my favorite and must-have types of shades.  But, the fact that Anuhea is a local girl from Maui and signed as Ambassador of one of my favorite brands, really was the icing on the cake for me.

The shimmer shades through out this palette are absolutely stunning and gorgeous and each have a really nice texture.  The matte shades definitely wowed me more than I had expected.  Perfectly selected to have the mattes you need to create a whole eye look.  I am always impressed with the quality of Cargo’s products and I’m amazed they are not hyped up as much as other brands.  I have several palettes from Cargo but I think this is my favorite.

“As a Hawaii girl, I’m really proud to share this collaboration with all of you.  This beautiful palette is a must have for the makeup lover – especially if you enjoy colors like these.  Wearable shades with pops of color to help you create a stunning look.” – Honey

Let’s talk about the packaging… first, how beautiful is this Hawaii themed palette.  I think the design on the cover and the gold foiling really add a special touch.  For years to come, this will be a palette I will love having in my collection – even if just to hold for sentimental sake because the packing is gorgeous.  The colors are all named after places in Hawaii or things about Hawaii which I love.  I also love how so many of the colors represent its name perfectly – for example:  Kai (which is the teal shimmery shade in the palette) is Ocean in hawaiian.  And Hapuna which is a gorgeous location on the island of Hawai’i (Big Island) is a beautiful ivory matte shade which is reminiscent of the location that Hapuna is – tranquil, quaint, a golf resort area and great beaches for surfing.  Kona, a medium brown tone represents one of the main towns on the island of Hawai’i is lined with lava rack along the western coast and you’ll find various coffee farms & many historic landmarks on the island there.  All of the names of this palette correspond so well with the color it represents.
