We had a New Year’s dinner with family today, and I wore a brooch. This is my favourite sweetie brooch.
The lipstick I am wearing in the above photograph is Clinique Bare Pop, which I blogged about recently. I am very bad about reapplying gloss and lipstick. I tend to put it on before I leave the house and never reapply it during the day. I must try to be better about that because it does add an extra pop to my normally very pale face.
Both are really lovely! The brooch looks delicious! The lipstick is lovely! I need to get started wearing lipstick too. With my greying hair, my face becomes a lot paler, so adding a pop of colour would not be the worse idea!
This and Black Honey are subtle so it just gives that extra pop without being ‘in your face’. I have thin lips and dark lipstick makes them look smaller so this is a happy medium. I bought the brooch at a flea market. The designer is Linda Hattab, who does amazing stuff.
Black honey! That was the name of the lipstick I got one shade that’s very close to it and you are so right. I was a brunette and from time to time, I would use a brownish shade of red (in the 90’s) and it looked good. But now I don’t think I can pull it off. I have no clue about make up so posts like yours help so much!… Thank you! It’s like having a big sister (I’m a single child)!
