Lipstick Dilemma
Well we are hopefully going to return to some semblance of normality very soon...hooray for that. Wearing "Cosy Joe" clothing {anything with an elastic waist and is only just a style step up from a baby grow} has to be a fashion leap in the right direction. What have I missed? LIPSTICK! Those of you who know me, know that I am rarely if ever seen without a shade of colour to my lips. Wearing a mask you would presume would have forced me to keep my varied lipsticks {over 20 at the last count} in the dressing table drawer. NOT A CHANCE!!
I have persevered with the Cardinal Red/ Flamingo Pink/ Treacle Toffee/ Ibiza Nights et al. Do I care that the inside of my mask looks like I have had a thump to the lips? Not a bit of it. In Edwardian times I would definitely have been rifling through the beetroot patch. During WWII I would have found myself a GI with a stash of rouge and nylons. So hopefully with the relaxing of some COVID rules imminent I will be reaching for the Chanel Nude or Cardinal Red or Flamingo Pink and showing off my lips in their full glory again. 😂😂
On a more serious note, I would like to acknowledge that COVID has been an absolute nightmare for a lot of family's and caused a great many bereavements much financial hardship, family separation, horrendous upset. So, I acknowledge that in no way wish cause upset or offence to anyone.
