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.

Have to give a big THUMBS UP to the City of Mentor for the road resurfacing of Mentor Ave.

“As one who drives daily, all over NEOhio and related construction therein, Mentor accomplished this project with very little disturbance to the regular traffic flow. Sure some slight delays, but the normal traffic that uses the road from Painesville Twp line and east, was flowing daily. Nice job!”
