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?

Come along with us to find the best cookies in LA. Today we’re trying @thepieroombycurtisstone at @gwenla 🍪

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie ($4): Oat flour (gluten free) chocolate cookie with peanut butter chips

*we didn’t pay attention to what we ordered and thought it was supposed to have peanut butter base BUT for gluten free this may be a 9/10

Chocolate Chunk Cookie ($4): Brown butter chocolate chip cookies

These were both incredible and we’ll definitely be back! What cookie should we try next?

@lawless recently sent us their Cherry Vanilla collection and I couldn’t wait to try the Forget the Filler gloss because I’ve heard so many rave reviews.

Usually I don’t like plumping glosses because they burn, and this one does tingle a little bit due to the pepper extract, but it’s worth it in my opinion since it dissipates quickly.

I love how the applicator hugs your lips so you apply an even layer right off the bat. This formula has a thicker sticky texture which I like in a gloss. It stays in place and doesn’t bleed outside the lip lines.

This bright cherry color is also what dreams are made of! I can’t wait to pair it with a lip liner or a red lipstick.

The one and only thing I don’t like about this product is the scent. It has an artificial cherry smell and I would have rather they just made it vanilla or something more palatable.
