You know it and love it! @levainbakery makes some of our favorite cookies, and now that we have access to them in LA we had to do a formal review.

We decided to review their original chocolate chip walnut cookie ($5.50) and I have to say if this was made with dark chocolate it would be a 10/10! There’s nothing quite like the texture of these.

As a side note, one of our all time fave episodes of @secondlifepod was with the founders of Levain and it made us want to support their business even more!

Go get the lemon cookie before it’s gone for the season! 🍋

After all these years of wanting to go to @lombardihouse we were invited to a @pacificabeauty event to celebrate the relaunch of their fragrances (plus three new scents)!

It was such a beautiful day and their team is so kind. We got to try all the perfumes and get our Auras read. It was such a lovely afternoon and we’ll be doing a ranking of the new scents soon!

I was in the market for a new spot concealer so I picked up the new @nyxcosmetics Pro Fix Stick Corrector, in the shade vanilla.

I found if I apply this directly to my face it’s harder to target smaller spots so I prefer to use my finger and take product from the bullet, and dab onto my face.

The formula is very creamy and emollient and blends out easily. I would say this provides a strong medium coverage which is what I’m after, since I will likely reach for this on days when I’m not wearing makeup but want to cover any blemishes or spots.

I want to try the peach corrector for under the eyes next!

Have wanted one of these @maccosmetics Macximal Silky Matte Lipsticks since they launched - the original MAC matte lipstick formula (RIP) is one of our favs and dare I say this is even better?! The formula is creamy and glides on easily but it’s definitely a matte finish, which I love! It lasts well and wears off evenly, I’ll be getting more shades. The upgraded packaging also feels nice.

This is the shade ‘Soar’, I don’t have anything like it and I couldn’t justify buying another brown nude or red lipstick.

I finally got my hands on the @halfmagicbeauty Blushing Lizard eyeshadow, from @ultabeauty ✨

They describe this as a duochrome mauve taupe with blue reflects. I actually think the base is pretty pink with minimal brown/taupe but it’s not a vibrant pink, which makes it more wearable.

I’m so impressed with this formula. It’s so smooth it almost feels like a cream. The glitter particles are so fine you don’t feel them at all when applying to the lid.

You know I love my glitter glue and I don’t even need it with this shadow. There is minimal fallout and it can crease if you apply too much but a thin layer still makes an impact.

I really love this for a true one and done eyeshadow look when I want to wear a more “statement shadow” than my typical rose gold or champagne.

What other shades from this range should I try?

Spent the afternoon bopping around Larchmont on this beautiful day (coffee in hand, as always)...⁠
⁠
- Bits & bobs at the @catbirdnyc store, which was so charming ⁠
- Pit stop at @levainbakery (review coming soon!)⁠
- Browsing the romance section at @chevaliersbooks- we're considering this @emilyhenrywrites event for her book launch⁠
- The @diptyque store is gorgeous! She told us they recently renovated and it shows⁠
