Last Christmas, one of my best girlfriends said to me that she had gotten a classic gift - a tube of red lipstick from Chanel. That got me thinking. For the past 10-20 years, the trend has been pink/nude lips. Gone were the days where the thought of a beautifully made-up woman conjured up images of perfectly coiffed hair, sultry eyes and luscious red lips. Think Marilyn Monroe, Rita Hayworth, Ava Gardner, Elizabeth Taylor.. the list goes on.
It may sound odd but to me, red lips symbolise a coming of age of sorts. Almost like you’ve finally blossomed into a woman. In a time where red lips have been relegated to being a statement look for the bold, fancy dinners.. Lancome has decided to launch a line of lipsticks aimed at the younger woman, woman nonetheless. And who better to front this new line than Emma Watson?
The colours are gorgeous and (to my absolute delight) features 3 extremely beautiful shades of red that I simply cannot wait to get my hands on! But until May or whenever this gets launched in my country, I will just have to sit and wait. For the time being, I’ll just have to be content seeing this gorgeous ad featuring one of the lovely reds I am coveting.
Neil Gaiman: I think this is what I'm most comfortable posting on Tumblr about Kony
When I posted the #Kony2012 link on Twitter, a LOT of people sent me this. I’d already felt uncomfortable RTing something that called for direct military action, and this solidified my discomfort.
For those asking what you can do to help, please link to…
striking red eyes with bold brows
beautiful dewy complexion and barely there pearly lips offset by strong brows and red eyeshadow. one of my fave beauty looks off the runway.
still keeping with my theme of beige, this time i’m looking at a nice black-beige piece i can’t wait to get my hands on.
in a very nude mood. lately i’ve found my eyes resting on peachy, nude, white pieces. there is one word for me this season - beige.
