Nudey Tuesday: A Handful of Nude Lipsticks
I’ve been beyond busy with school -I’m literally falling asleep as I write this. Today’s Nudey Tuesday will be super quick (hope you don’t mind.) I couldn’t stand the thought of not doing a Nudey Tuesday or doing it late so I grabbed the first 5 nude lipsticks I saw out of my makeup drawer. And the lucky winners are.. This is a preview of Nudey Tuesday: A Handful of Nude Lipsticks. Read the full post (447 words, 6 images, estimated 1:47 mins reading...
Read MoreCarey in Couture
Just a quick post for those of you who may not have got your hands on the October issue of US Vogue and have therefore not seen the adorable editorial shot by Lindbergh and styled by Grace Coddington, featuring Carey Mulligan. I snapped it up as soon as I spotted it on the stands- because I am a big Carey fan- and it did not disappoint. Here are my favourite shots but I’d seriously suggest investing in a hard copy if you love her (and couture!) as much as I do. I try to avoid celebrity fandom when I can, and don’t feature many on the blog at all, but she is a genuinely talented actress- and it doesn’t hurt that she always chooses amazing dresses...
Read MoreMr Charles Chaplin behind the camera
For no particular reason, except to go with the film theme, here’s Charlie Chaplin directing one of his movies, taken from an article called something like ‘A Day with Charlie Chaplin’ from the April 1929 edition of The Strand. The first six months of 1929 had more interesting non-fiction features packed into them than the rest of the decade put together. Chaplin’s star was already on the wane, although he was still one of the highest paid people in Hollywood – and the growth of the talkies didn’t help. Interesting to read about a megastar’s life back then. He was just as precious and difficult as megastars today, one gathers....
Read MoreTheme Tuesday
I’m not a fan of all Tim Burton’s films, but Ed Wood is sublime. And I love the opening titles. It’s hard to believe this bongo-fuelled groovefest is composed by the same guy who wrote the Lord of the Rings soundtracks. Couldn’t be more different. Howard Shore sure is fab..

Read MorePhilippians 2:3-4
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interest of others. Permanent link to this post (37 words, 1 image, estimated 9 secs reading time)
Read MorePurple Kisses: Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in Lilac Review, Swatches, Photos
Repurchase: Yes Price: $8.99 (0.13 oz) Product: 22/25 Packaging: 4.5/5 Value: 9/10 Overall Grade: B+ Since CVS was having a BOGO sale on Revlon last week, I picked up a Revlon ColorBurst Lipstick in Lilac along with the Peach I reviewed last week. The Packaging: Revlon ColorBurst Lipsticks are packaged in sleek matte black tubes with quilted detailing (reminiscent of Chanel.) I think they’re the prettiest drugstore lipstick tubes but I do have one gripe -why doesn’t the quilted design go all around the tube? It alternates from quilted to solid all around the tube (see above photo.) The lipstick name is located on the bottom and the top of the cap...
