Lip Lab Sketch & Shade Precision Cream Lip Liners

Lip Lab’s Sketch & Shade Precision Cream Lip Liner ($25; liplab.com) is a soft, creamy, ultra defining lip liner that lines and shapes lips effortlessly. They come in six gorgeous, universally flattering shades. The formula is super creamy, so I’d recommend going very light handed since it is easy to over do and the super smooth tip is prone to breakage. The shape is nice for most lip contours and helps with an even line, especially around the edges. Modern Mocha is a great warm brown that is perfect for most medium-skin tones, while Romantic Rose is a cool toned rosy mauve that works for just about anyone. These have a soft focus velvet matte finish and great color payoff as well. They do help lipsticks from moving around and feathering too much. I also love the sleek rose gold packaging. Overall, great lip liners and a fabulous color selection. The Lip Lab liners can be purchased online at liplab.com or Lip Lab locations. They also recently added two new locations in Austin and Napa!

Two Cozy Vanilla Fragrances To Try This Fall!

Two new vanilla fragrances I’m currently loving that would be perfect for fall. Both these are clean fragrances formulated without nasties. Lavanila’s The Healthy Fragrance Pure Vanilla ($48; lavanilla.com) is a classic vanilla scent that is creamy, a tad smokey and soft. The main note is Pure Madagascar Vanilla blended with essential oils for a clean base. The opening is very soft and clean, not overpowering. The Vanilla is rather sweet without being too cloying and settles down to a cozy fragrance that is perfect for the fall and winter. The longevity is average and fades after a good 6-7 hours. The Rosy & Earnest Vanilla Rum Royal ($125; rosyandearnest.com) is another gorgeous vanilla that I have been wearing a lot lately. I absolutely love the fragrance right from the first spritz to dry down. The notes include rum, vanilla, pink berries, bergamot, white wine lees, oak and musk. The opening is quite sweet, more of the vanilla with just a hint of the rum. The bergamot is faint and keeps the vanilla from getting too sweet. The dry down brings out the musk and makes the fragrance very creamy and cozy. It's such an interesting vanilla as I have nothing similar to this in my collection. The longevity is great as well and since vanilla is one of my favorite notes, I’d wear this all through fall, winter and spring.

Essie Sol Searching And Imagine That Summer Collections

Sol Searching ($10; ulta.com) is a new summer collection from essie, featuring six polishes in gorgeous summer shades. The collection features a mix of five cream finishes and one metallic. Much like everything else from essie, this one too has a beautiful finish and a nice wide brush that helps deposit color evenly. The formula is fantastic and very opaque in just one coat. These are all colors that I would absolutely wear all through the year and gravitate towards most of the time. Essie also launched another summer collection, Imagine That, and I particularly love one shade, Imagine That ($10; ulta.com) from the collection that is a perfectly opaque summer yellow with a non streaky formula. It looks amazing on the toes and works well with most skin tones. Scroll below for swatches of the polishes!
