Presented by Smashbox

If you’re anything like us, once you find something that works for you, you stick with it. Whether it’s your morning routine or your signature coffee order, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Recently, we found a new lip combo that’s earned a permanent spot in our rotation. Meet Smashbox’s Full Fill-ter Smoothing Lip Glass Balm and Studio Extreme Longwear Lip Liner. The liner delivers up to 16 hours of transfer-proof, smudge-free wear, while the gloss provides eight hours of hydration and a high-shine finish.

We love pairing the Medium Brown liner with Coax gloss. Or, opt for a perfect-for-fall combo: Deep Walnut liner with Unbuttoned gloss.

Why is it that when someone passes away, the very people who disliked them, criticized them, and spoke poorly of them suddenly have nothing but wonderful things to say, as though the person was a saint?

“I can respect someone's passing without pretending I respected them in life.”

The Wrap

Santa Land is turning 70 this year, and if you've lived in Lubbock a while, you probably have a favorite spot where you met Santa and Mrs. Claus. It started as a city event in 1956, and from 1956 to 1973 it was held at Mose Hood Park. The old photos must be good.
