I’m obsessed with my hair, I’m a Leo after all. A brush I swear by is the Tangle Teezer, it keeps my hair silky smooth and tangle free. Another item I can’t live without is my Huile de Palm by Leonor Greyl. I apply it in the evenings and rinse it out the following morning,Continue reading “Haircare”

All Of My Reds
I took this Jpg in 2011 when I made the change from a beauty blog to an all red lipstick blog. Now I added other lifestyle posts at the recommendation of my sister Wendy. Not much has changed, I still have various shades of red. How many do you guys have?
The Perfect Summer Duo – Besame Cosmetics
My New Tango Red from Besame Cosmetics arrived yesterday and I love it. I also received the Apricot Rouge that doubles as a cheek and lip tint for that perfect sun-kissed look. The plus side is that these hues work on all skin tones and add the right amount of color. The perfect duo forContinue reading “The Perfect Summer Duo – Besame Cosmetics”
You Should Wear More Color
I saw this cartoon and instantly identified, instead my touch of color is usually my crimson pout. I wish I knew a cartoonist who could draw me with my signature red lip. I’m in black from head-to-toe 95% percent of the time. How about you?
How to Wear a Striped Tshirt
Reading The Edit by Net-A-Porter this afternoon I re-discovered my love of the striped t-shirt, made famous by Coco Chanel. A classic staple in every chic closet. How do you wear one? Easy, with denim, pearls, ballet flats and red lipstick. A bit of trivia, did you know that the Breton Striped T-shirt has 21Continue reading “How to Wear a Striped Tshirt”
City Girl In Red Lipstick – Dragon Girl by Nars
I’m going to be brave and post my current selfie, mind you I hate, hate having my picture taken. I am not photogenic in the least and rarely ever turn out well. The only times I look decent are when I’m behind the camera, go figure. Anyway, this is me and I’m wearing Dragon GirlContinue reading “City Girl In Red Lipstick – Dragon Girl by Nars”
Baring Summer Skin – Soap & Glory
I’m not saying my body is bikini ready, but this little gem helps. I’ve been applying it to my tummy and thighs and have noticed my skin becoming smoother and firmer. And just in time, I have a romantic weekend planned, but I won’t be sharing that story with you come Monday morning. What’s yourContinue reading “Baring Summer Skin – Soap & Glory”
Summer Cherry
Miranda Kerr always looks chic and pulled together, especially because she’s never without her crimson pout. Last night Miranda stepped out in a bright juicy cherry lip and this makes me want to try lip gloss again, even though I know I won’t like it. For the full story @style.com
Naturally Gorgeous Lashes
My eye allergies act up periodically and I usually can’t wear mascara, like the week before last. I also keep my beauty routine simple on the weekends, as I spend too much time getting myself together and out the door during the week. I take advantage and apply my Talika Lipocils twice a day whenContinue reading “Naturally Gorgeous Lashes”
Le Episode of the Madeleine
I’ve become obsessed with Marcel Proust and Le episode of the Madeleine. So much so that I ordered a Madeleine tin and made sure I was fully stocked with the ingredients to make a batch of my own. Why? Because I enjoyed that chapter immensely and identified with him for the first time since beginningContinue reading “Le Episode of the Madeleine”
