MDMflow has the BEST liquid matte lipsticks, and they aren't drying.

MDMflow is a U.K.-based cosmetics brand with a variety of liquid matte and semi-matte lipsticks, and they don't dry your lips out! The moisturizing formula comes in the chicest clear tubes with gold tops, and they have a soft brush for smooth application. MDMflow lippies are made with beeswax so that the colors are more flexible and get into every crevice of your lips. They're also super long-lasting and take you through an entire day with little to no reapplications. I actually have about five or six of them and I wear at least one every week.
Follow the brand here on Instagram, and shop some of the colors here on Nasty Gal. You can also shop all of the products on the UK site (price is converted from pounds to dollars at checkout).

Gabrielle Union slays on the cover of Essence and says she supports women if they choose to not see her latest film after the producer's sexual assault allegations.

Gabrielle Union looks stunning on the current issue of Essence!!! In the mag, the Being Mary Jane star says she's less concerned with how many lines she gets in a script and more interested in being an authority in the production of it. "I want to have a little bit more control over the narrative," she says. "The only way I can be empowered to do that is to be a producer. Now with as many projects that will have me, it's part of the deal."
She also addresses the sexual assault controversy surrounding Nate Parker, director of her latest film, The Birth of A Nation. As a rape survivor and advocate for sexual assault victims, she says, "I cannot shy away from this responsibility because the conversation got difficult... Every victim or survivor, I believe you. I support you. I support you if you don't want to see the film. I absolutely understand and respect that."
