Oh my Teese..... My Beauty Mark and Dita Lipstick

I have always been a fan of Dita's. You may see a little of her influence in my own make up and hair from time to time. She was very important in my journey finding my own style. Whilst I like to mix and match vintage with a modern twist, Dita tends to stay quite true to a classic vintage look. She knows what works for her and has spent many years perfecting that look. That's why I am so excited for the new book to come out. With Mr Pearl as my close friend I was hoping I would get some behind the scenes beauty secrets but no such luck. I would expect no less from him....A true gent.

I know the book will have a lot of the things I already know in there as we do very similar styles but its the process of getting to that end result that fascinates me.....what tips and tricks does she have? For me the book is worth having even if it's just for the beautiful imagery it will have. So it's on order and I will review it as soon as I have pawed it!

On top of this MAC have collaborated for the second time with Dita. MAC fans will remember Dita being one of the faces of MACs charity lipstick, Viva Glam VI. This lipstick is a warm terracotta-plum with pearl finish which is really easy to wear day by day, not really mine or Dita's usual style.



This time around Dita has had involvement in the colour of the lipstick itself, so of course it's a red! Now I have over 15 different reds...maybe closer to 20. Do I need another red? You bet I do. I'm a sucker for packaging and presentation. I LOVE the fact the lipstick has the signature on it and the packaging!

It's being described as "a true red" hmmm what exactly does this mean? A lot of reds now are saying they are a true red (not the lipsticks themselves, they can't talk.....can they?)



  I have heard that it is more a tomato red which is very Dita....A slight yellow warm red without pulling into an orange.

I'll put up a full review when I get my mitts on the book and the lipstick.




Stay Classy

Deadly is The Female

I have a soft spot for Deadly is the Female. I love their vintage inspired lingerie that has just the right amount of decadence, so I was very excited when I heard about their new kickstarter.

Its a Murder Mystery theme which is just perfect for me, I love a bit of film noir.! And to top it all off they are now expanding (haha) up to a G cup... I am so pleased to hear that, it can be so hard to get nice bras, especially vintage inspired in a larger cup size.

They have a cute video to show off the collection on the kickstarter page here....https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kissmedeadly/retro-lingerie-fashion-for-femme-fatales-by-kiss-m
You can grab a nice little discount through the kickstarter. I've gone for...




Grace
A bias cut, cowl-neck black satin nightgown, with adjustable spaghetti straps and sheer chiffon side panels.

 I do love the sheer chiffon robe with a plunge front, elbow length sleeves, and full skirt, trimmed in rows and rows of ruffles too!! For £70 each on the kickstarter they are total bargains!








This is an adorable set too...

What are you going to pick??
