Life in Phone Pictures

Baby Rapunzel.

Valentine donut just about the size of her head.

Mid-day champagne. Don't mind if I do.

Super important reading. Seriously, Courtney and Ben, WTF?

Total impulse buy. Sally Hansen nail strips in spring patterns. So cute.

Super hero Little People. I die at the cuteness.

One coat of Zoya Kristen with two coats of Revlon Whimsical. I'm loving this.

My valentine forever and ever and ever.

February in California means everyday is in the high 60's to upper 70's. Lots of morning at the park.

Two products for date-night eyes

I apologize in advance for the pictures. I haven't taken any pictures besides iPhone ones in months. Whoops!

Lots of people have been asking for (makeup) product suggestions, since I haven't done any in a while so I thought I'd share two that will take your eye makeup to the next level. They take a little time to master, but once you do you'll be able to do it in just a minute or two and they will make your eyes pop and make your eyelashes look crazy thick. These fabulous products are:

• The Laura Mercier flat eyeliner brush
• Cake eyeliner in black. (I like Laura Mercier's and Benefit's, which has unfortunately been discontinued)

First thing's first: Get your eyeliner brush wet (just a little more wet than damp) and rub it into your cake eyeliner. Make sure that the consistency isn't goopy.  When you're ready to line your lashes look up. Dab the brush onto your upper lash line. This fills in all the little spaces between your eyelashes and makes them look so thick.

Most of the time I stop there, but if you're going for a really dramatic look you can do the same to your bottom lash line. The best advice I have is to go to your local Laura Mercier makeup counter and ask them to show you how. They'll do this for completely free - don't feel obligated to buy the product if you don't want to (but you probably will.)

 edited to add: I found a great tutorial on YouTube for this exact technique. Enjoy!
