@Sunnysmom So I have that and PAT McGRATH LABS LiquiLUST™: Legendary Wear Matte Lipstick Flesh 3 , they are pretty good, I think these got lost in a bevy of releases, because I don't remember how most people felt about them and I just happened to see it on reels and was reminded I had it, and that it's a little deeper than Elson and MVP.  I've been wearing it with Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Color Underdawg , which for some reason I've never loved and it gives underdawg the prettiest undertone.

Flesh 3 is very terracotta on me, which isn't my preferred moody lip color... Fenty Beauty by Rihanna Fenty Icon Velvet Liquid Lipstick Bread Winn'R also went south, so I have Poundcake Beauty's Brooklyn Blackout up to replace it, but Flesh 3 will get used, just because I love a matte.  Wish it set down a little more, but it's still pretty nice, right?

[Sunnysmom]

Sounds like a good combo with the Fenty @danielledanielle . I have been wanting PAT McGRATH LABS Dramatique Mega Lip Pencil Flesh 3 but worried it was too warm-toned . I love and wear PAT McGRATH LABS Dramatique Mega Lip Pencil Garnet Glow a ton. I probably do better with that kind of formula vs a liquid lip tho I keep trying them! I have a Poundcake lip in Red Bean or Red Velvet I think it is. That’s a pretty decent liquid isn’t it, I’m ok with it. Hey did you try the SIIA Liquid formula? Thick but comfy. 

[danielledanielle]

No, not familiar with SIIA @Sunnysmom 

Tell me more..

[Sunnysmom]

I had been reading bits about it and knew nothing @danielledanielle . Nordstrom still has it at 40% off! I had no expectations and am really enjoying all 3 lip formulas. The mattes are still comfy tho a true matte. The original formula is a satin. I may love the liquid the most! Super smooth. Their other products look terrific as well.

From their site- “ 100% made in Korea, woman owned, AAPI owned, Immigrant owned, African owned. “ Their products are infused with Korean skincare found in paper masks. Cruelty and paraben free also. 

I wonder who else has tried it. Please weigh in all! 💞

@Sunnysmom great haul, those blushes are beautiful and the ND palette is so spot on.  The swatches are lovely.  

[Sunnysmom]

It was impossible to resist the Merit @CorgiMommy and thank you kindly! I knew it was a foregone conclusion !! I think their new products always live up to the hype too. ND was a great idea I didn’t know I needed! 

[CookieGirl1]

@Sunnysmom between the Iris&Romeo Lip Cocoon Hydrating Barrier Repair Lip Balm with Peptides 0.67 oz / 19 g and the Topicals Slick Salve Glossy Lip Balm for Soothing + Hydration , which is thicker?

[Sunnysmom]

Hmm I would say the Topicals @CookieGirl1 . It also leaves more of a film and layer on my lips vs the Iris & Romeo too. The Iris is more slick but it does stay on nicely. The Topicals is a bit more goopy. Lol. The flavor is nice with kind of a citrus bent. I hope I & R add some shades. Then I’d be super happy! Let me know if you try it or did you order something? 

[CookieGirl1]

@Sunnysmom I was actually looking at the Topicals balm anyway so it helps to have the comparison between that one and the I&R balm.

Beautiful haul! Those merit blushes are so cute! Love the pallete and PML, great haul, hope you enjoy everything 😊 @Sunnysmom 

[Sunnysmom]

Lots of promising newness to start the year off correctly right @peculiarzmakeup ?! Definitely good shades for you too! 💞

[blackkitty2014]

Oh the Merit blushers are so pretty 😍 The ND palette will be a work horse @Sunnysmom 🥰❤️👍

[Sunnysmom]

These Merit new shades are so good @blackkitty2014 , impressed as always! I think the ND will be a good base for lots of the neutral looks we live by. 🤣 They will also tame down some of my more shimmery shadows that need it! 😆

[CorgiMommy]

First haul of 2025 and it is my annual mascara purchase.   Even though I have been loving the KVD Beauty Mascara, I purchased my dream mascara that I searched years for  Hourglass Unlocked Instant Extensions Lengthening Mascara .

Since my birthday is at the end of December,  my birthday gift offer period  extends into January.  That means first dibs on the new gifts.   I picked the Laneige gift as it looks like enough to make it through an extended vacation.

The rest are a GWP (ironically another Laneige product) and two foils.

Nice lil' haul, @CorgiMommy! There's a couple mascaras I've been wanting to try, and the Hourglass is one of them! Hope you enjoy everything! 😃

[faeriegirl]
