In pursuit of the perfect red (part 2)......

So whilst I'm getting used to wearing a lipstick much, much brighter than I have worn for years, I am still on the hunt for the perfect red......




My search led me to Selfridges in London, where the lovely sales assistant persuaded me that I was buying the 'Rolls Royce' of lipsticks! (Her words, not mine!)

And the evocative perfumes.....

It really is a stunning lipstick.  Creamy and moisturising on the lips. Lightly scented and beautifully packaged.

I'm still waiting for my up close and personal moment like this though......

Tulip time......



I woke up this morning and it seemed that spring had deserted us.


I knew just the thing to brighten up a rainy, dull Sunday morning.....


 For purists......
