Trust Me, You Need A Compact Mirror in your Life!

Neutrals

I overheard a conversation the other day about a girl who doesn't have a compact mirror. She said she’s always borrowing someone else’s. I thought I was hearing things. To me, this is hard to take in and to digest. I couldn’t possibly live without a compact mirror in my handbag! This is like saying Anna Wintour cannot wear sunglasses again! Shocking I know. I’m not saying that I’m so vain and that I need to check myself out every 30 seconds… But it’s for peace of mind too. Not only are they for the self-loving people out there (you know who you are) but for people who have food in their teeth, something in their eye etc. Hmmmm… OK, are my reasons good enough?!

Nude Lip Liners Are Trending

Neutrals

Lately I’ve noticed that nude lip liners are trending so I thought I would recommend a few to try. Of course we all know the reason why nude and natural lip liners are in fashion… Kylie Jenner! Yes her incredible pout has driven us all crazy with envy. The trick of using a natural or nude colour lip liner is to deliberately draw over your lips. Many people are afraid to do this to begin with but trust me; once you’ve done it… you will always do it.
