Wow, so today is the last day of June, and that means the end of the first month on winter. Wow, that flew... I was planning on doing posts about things I love about winter (and there are many things) but time has really been getting away from me lately. Still, this kinda points at one, sort of, a bit... ;)
It has been really, really windy (and cold, and blustery rainy in general) here all week, and, on a day off, I love to waste time drinking tea and reading books (which might just explain where my time has been going!). And then I was inspired by two lovely ladies I work with; one, for the vest, and the second for the eyelashes! One of our mannequins at work, Lola, is a beauty from the 1940s, and she has the most amazing eyelashes that cast shadows on her perfectly sculpted and painted cheeks. So, thank you, ladies!
Ideally, I would love to have some black glasses – I love cats eye shaped ones – as I think black rimmed glasses look great. Unfortunately getting lenses, even clear ones, put into glasses is so expensive here that it is too much of a luxury for me, for now... But, if I can't have black glasses, I can still frame my eyes with long, black false eyelashes. I find that the glue that comes with false lashes is a bit rubbish, and so I buy a special one – and it is amazing; no more lashes making a bid for freedom here. With these dramatic eyes, I used my new pale pink lipstick; it is such a change from my usual strong coloured lips but with dark eyes, I really like it. And I've already chatted on a bit, so I'll keep this brief, but on the advice of a friend (with amazing hair) I gave a certain hairspray a try – and I love it. It is really hard to take pics of pin curls in my dark hair, but hey, maybe you can see them... now the wind has died down here I look forward to having some big hair again. I feel so strange without it, and even though I do like my little boos*, my strict little bun looks better in real life than in photos! I feel a beehive coming on...
