The Buy
Merit’s Signature Lip Blush, aka the lipstick we want to live every day in. This lightweight, sheer-matte formula applies with the comfort of a nourishing balm, leaving a soft, blurred wash of color that feels like nothing on the lips. Choose your favorite shade, from warm sheer nude Vendôme to brick red September.
Spring is here, and that means new coffee shop menus. Heine Brothers is the first one I saw online, but I’ll be sure to let you know as I see more. I’ve got my eye on the lavender honey cold brew.
