Here are all of the @pacificabeauty fragrances ranked from our least favorite to our absolute must haves! But truly you can’t go wrong with any of these- since they are so affordable (under $30!).

We’ve loved Dream Moon and Silver Moon for years but we were so shocked by how good Passionfruit is. If you like juicy fruity scents you should try this one for summer.

What’s your favorite from this range?

I’ve been looking for a more affordable full coverage concealer and decided to try the @nyxcosmetics Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop Concealer after seeing some positive reviews on social media.

This product has extreme coverage so a little goes a long way, which I like. However more coverage=more pigment which is why I find a lot of full coverage concealers to be drying over time, and unfortunately this is no exception.

I would say it looks pretty good for a couple of hours but then it starts to emphasize my dry undereyes, even when I prep with hydrating products. It ultimately clings onto dry patches.

I will say this does look pretty smooth under the eyes and I didn’t notice a ton of creasing, so if you don’t struggle with dry undereyes this may work great for you!

It was one of the better drugstore concealers I’ve tried, but alas, I’ll stick with my @fitglowbeauty concealer for now.

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?
