SPRING = COLOUR

Spring is on its way and this year it brings with it bright colours, bold prints, and beautiful florals. It is going to be a season where feminitity reigns supreme, so that means flawless skin, rosy cheeks, colour on those eyelids, and nails are no longer black, but colourful and chic.




My wish lish for Spring:

• OPI Kiss on the Chic



• Bobbi Brown Sheer Color Cheek Tint in Sheer Mauve
  
  
  
• YSL Tresor D'Afrique Palette Colour in for eyes

Oh, and a gorgeous floral headband!

BEAUTY IN DISTRESS IS MUCH THE MOST AFFECTING BEAUTY

Edmund Burke wrote 'A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of Our Ideas of the Sublime and Beautiful' in 1757. This little gem comes from it;


"The cause of beauty... where it is highest, in the female sex, almost always carries with it an idea of weakness and imperfection. Women are very sensible for this; for which reason, they learn to lisp, to totter in their walk, to counterfiet weakness, and even sickness. In all this they are guided by nature.

Beauty in distress is much the most affecting beauty.

Blushing has little less power; and modesty in general, which is a tacit allowance of imperfection, is itself considered as an amiable quality, and certainly heightens every other that is so."

No wonder we all love a nice blush... it has a power over men, and of course looks oh so winsomely. So innocently charming...

I want a new blush...
