Beauty Insider Tip

Beauty divas, listen up!  We have an insider tip on a product known to create fuller lashes, remove eye makeup, and work wonders on dry hair!

We love using coconut oil for its multi purpose functions.  It works great as a gentle makeup remover, and actually helps lashes grow fuller and longer!  It's also perfect for cleaning up mascara smudges with a Q-Tip.  Another great use for coconut oil restores moisture to your thirsty locks.  Apply all over hair just before bed and shampoo the next morning.  Your hair will absorb the moisture from the coconut oil, leaving it healthy and replenished!

Find this product in the baking aisle at your nearest grocery store.  Enjoy!!

Bridal Glam

Summertime is the most desired season for brides and grooms to tie the knot! Team Charlie Lapson brings you an insider look at glam wedding ideas for your big day.


Here are some tips for all brides-to-be to make sure your special day is one to always be remembered!


Makeup- Prepare your wedding day look at least 2 weeks before. Test out different looks to know what works best on you. Be sure to wear it for as many hours as you would on the big day to ensure its longevity.



Pick a theme, and incorporate it throughout the entire wedding. Small details can really shine in the presence of such a magical day, especially if they all tie in together.



Traditional is a common look seen in weddings, but try to update this idea and make it your own! Add color to your look, whether it be through makeup or a colorful sash. Make sure your inner diva shines!!



And most importantly, let go of any stress and just enjoy your day! All the hard work you put into planning has passed, and the only thing left to do is just ENJOY!

Trend Alert!

Summer is finally here! Protect your eyes from the bright sun with these fashionable sunglasses. This season, frame shapes such as the cat eye, John Lennon, and retro styles are in. Opt for fun ombré colors or edgy shades to really make a statement. 

Enjoy!
