Makeup Meets Coffee Is An Hot Trend With Kindness, Selena Gomez's Rare Beauty Pop-Up Cafe & Polite Society's La La Land Kind Cafe Takeover.

 By Laura Medina

Two days after Polite Society Cosmetics' sweet weekend takeover of La La Kind Cafe on Santa Monica's Montana Ave., Selena Gomez's Rare Beauty did a cafe pop-up in the middle of the Westfield Century City Mall.

When you purchase a mere one item or more from Rare Beauty at Century City Mall's Sephora, they'll give you a sticker to present at Rare Beauty Cafe where you can come in, be gifted with a Rare Beauty backpack then be treated to whatever and how many you like lattes and coffee, iced or hot, with whole milk or oat milk.

It was opened from 12 noon to 3pm.

During those three hours, when staffers notice someone lounging alone, they're more than happy to offer comfort and joy, by giving guests company so no one will feel isolated.

This Tuesday was World Mental Health Day.

This was also the reason for the preceding Polite Society's La La Land Kind Cafe over the weekend.

In the weekend preceding World Mental Health Day, Polite Society Cosmetics are all about skin-kind ingredients.  Therefore, it makes sense a skin-kind makeup company would take over a cafe, that's all about promoting kindness and inclusivity through coffee and snacks.

Polite Society turned La La Land Kind Cafe into a makeup wonderland.

Just for strutting in because you're wondering what's going on, Polite Society automatically gifts you with free full-sized lip gloss and a travel-sized mascara.

Obviously, Polite Society sold the whole line, with rare, limited-edition sweatshirts and a collectible holiday eyeshadow, along with limited edition lattes.

These past days were a makeup dream, promoting kindness and inclusivity.

Family Style Festival, Where Fashion Meets Food & Polite Society Makeup Takeover La La Kind Cafe, Where Kind, Clean Makeup Meets Kind, Clean Coffee, Real LA Style Meets Food, Not Oxymoron.

 By Laura Medina

A shallow, superficial East Coaster, who believes all of LA is Hollywood and mistakes West Hollywood for Hollywood, said fashion meets food, is an oxymoron in LA, is too shallow and superficial to scratch the surface then makes all the prejudiced mistakes that gets her booted out of the Golden State of California.

There's a strong link between stylish and comfortable urban and street wear and Gen-X, Millennial, and Zoomer chefs, mostly male.

Urban wear, The Hundreds proved that by displaying, the founder Ben Hundreds' love of both street wear and street food by throwing his Family Style Festival.

Just like it says, it's family friendly for Millennial and Zoomer young families and their toddler kids.

Proving they're Millennials.and Gen-Xers, a stsall dedicated to fifty years of hip hop sold both grilled meat balls and stuffed Italian rice balls.

If people weren't lining up for designer, rare limited edition street wear, they finished off the day munching on gourmet street food after shopping for fashion.

Ben Hundreds' Family Style Festival proves that fashion meets food in not an oxymoron in real Los Angeles.

His festival proves that Angelenos aren't bleached anorexic stereotypes.

During the same weekend and the same day as Ben Hundreds' Food Meets Fashion, Family Style Festival, Jerrod Blandino's latest makeup brand, clean makeup Polite Society, took over La La Kind Cafe in Santa Monica.

Both the makeup brand and the cafe practice and preach kindness.

Can't think of a better collaboration than a kind makeup brand hooking up with a kind cafe since they both practice inclusivity and diversity while preaching health.

Actually, it's kind of a dream, where you can shop for both your makeup and your drink and snack.

It was a wonderland of a pop-up.
