During the summer season in the desert, I have a rule I abide by 99.9% of the time. My summer rule is always ALWAYS wear waterproof makeup. To deal with the heat, desert-dwellers spend a lot of time swimming. Never knowing when the opportunity will present itself, you should always be prepared. I have no problem with this, because summer is supposed to be about water fun!
One day this summer, I strayed from my cardinal rule. Guess what happened? I ended up swimming with my children that evening and they were horrified by what they saw. My eye makeup was running down my cheeks and I was quite the mess. This mistake won’t be repeated. I’ll tell you that I know first-hand there are some amazing water-resistant cosmetics available, and there’s no need to skip the makeup if you may take a swim. In fact, CARGO has recently added a waterproof foundation to their Swimmables makeup line!
CARGO Swimmables Water Resistant Blush swatch above in Ibiza– a goddessy warm pink with a subtle golden sheen. Other shades available are Bali- a medium rose, and Los Cabos- a peachy bronze. Retail price $26.
CARGO Swimmables Longwear Foundation swatch above 30– a warm light/medium skintone. This product is available in 8 different shades, ranging from Fair to Mocha. I love it so much I plan to wear it all year long! Retail price $34.
Even if you’re a fan of going bare-skinned in the summer, sparse brows need to be filled! The CARGO Swimmables Longwear Brow Pencil features an angled shape that’s perfect for drawing thin hair-like lines or filling larger areas.
CARGO Swimmables Longwear Brow Pencil swatches above (from left to right): Medium– a warm chocolate brown, Light– a pale golden blonde/brown, and Dark– a deep almost-black brown. This brow color is soft and natural, and definitely does not budge in the water! Retail price $20.

Fans of Patrick Starrr will be thrilled to hear that on September 6, 2018 the MAC x Patrick Starrr Destination Diva Fall 2018 collection will hit counters! This collection contains two limited-edition kits, each with an Eye Shadow x 4 Palette Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolor in shades simply perfect for Fall. I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of these fabulous kits ahead of the launch! Allow me to introduce to Oh No She Beta Don’t.
The Sugah Mama Eye Shadow x 4 Palette contains four neutral shadow shades that are universally flattering for fall! In the photo above, clockwise from the upper left: Sugah Stick– a soft caramel , Deception– a frosty rosy bronze, First Class– deep brown, Damn She Olive– an almost brown fatigue green.
That perfect milk chocolate brown lip color you crave? Well you’ve found it. The Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolor in Ultimate Diva wears beautifully for day or night, and wears forever!
Retail price is a mere $21 per kit! Considering that a Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick usually retails for $21 on its own, this is a steal of a deal!

Maybelline Shine Compulsion Lipstick is one of my latest obsessions. If you’re a fan of intense high-pigment color and tons of shine, you need to take a closer look at these the next time you’re out shopping. The formula is a lipstick/gloss hybrid that is extremely creamy and leaves the lips feeling nourished. Why does it feel so fantastic? This lipstick is made with 60% reflective oils that act as a lip treatment while you wear them! Beauty lovers with dry lips, this product is for you! Kudos to Maybelline for their attention to detail with this product. Each shiny lipstick is housed in a gleaming rose gold tube that looks so glam.
Maybelline Shine Compulsion Lipstick swatches above from left to right: Taupe Seduction– a medium mauve, Undressed Pink– youthful flamingo pink, Pink Fetish– a deep bold reddish pink, Scarlet Flame– a glam red that leans orange, and Spicy Sangria– a deep wine. I’ll tell you I don’t wear dark lip color often, but I get very heavy use out of Taupe Seduction and Undressed Pink! There are more colors in this collection than what you see here, so be sure to surf on over to the Maybelline website to check them all out.
Retail price is $7.99. Click HERE to buy this product directly from the Maybelline website. Other retailers include Target, Walmart, Ulta, and Amazon.
