Two Weeks in a Virginia Jail.

'Two weeks in a Virginia Jail.

Twenty thousands dollar bail for my lover, for my lover.'

I'm sorry to write Only some sorrowful things these days but getting conscious everyday you can lose someone whose at the bottom of your foundation, of your being; its tough.

No, I dont mean to sob on my blog, I just dont want to pretend I'm so cool and calm and all, writing this one, because i know There have been and Will be better days.

I hope the next one, I Will tell you everything is fine Again. No doubts. No unbearable distance.

Just LOVE.

From two entities, who don't struggle everyday to be only one ... When it's not possible.

This title was regarding the outfit which made me think of a wedding day outfit. For a guest of course !

No, immaculate White is the Bride-to-be privilege... Although, I am not fond of cliche and whether you even like marriage at all, it has something in the atmosphere about it.

So clearly matching my lines about Love.

Hello Dears , as you start knowing me you should know that I love mixing items, and stuff that doesn't really belong together. I always tend to have some kind of harmony, and atmosphère though, but I like to prove that There is no Only Rockabilly in the Vintage Mood.

I wear this 60s jacket, which is why its not at all fitted around my waist not as a 50s jacket, but I like how its large and then melt on my hips and skirt.

Of course, its not the slimmest silhouette I could create but I love the combo of it.

I also add this little 50s , stewardess style hat, which I found fantastic as it reminds me something more oriental.

I Will end on mentionning the shoes and socks which are my mark of the 90s...

 

A bit like a following to my last article, I wanted to keep the veggies among us and theme around this bag With fake fruits. Makes me want to picnic like when I was a kid, even my butt was always itching While I sat on the grass ! So I Finally mixde it With the buildings (lovely ones) you can discover in Tiny lanes in Paris.

Little review on my last make up purchases...

I went to an Other Stories store opened recently in Paris, and I was crazy about their makeup and hair items.

I Only bought some makeup items and There they are:

About:

- the Face Cleaner, I highly recommend it . It s really Nice, scent as texture, I love it !

- the mascara, I first laugh at the packaging ! I'm not into men so that was so funny imagining which type of Guy on the design I Will choose... Its not super great, but Still not a bad one.

- the Shade, well... I m not using it if I'm going to have a long day !

The Shade dosent last, but fades and slips during the first hour... Its a shame because I loved the colour.

Little Kitty With the three last ones... And not least !

(From left to right)

- liner pencil, Rimmel. Meant to be waterproof... Well, not at all ! But anyway its a perfect precision of lining, so easy to use.

- the Matte me, Sleek. If you love as much matte finish as I do , well you Will ADORE it ! "C'est mon nouveau chouchou!"

-the mascara Scanadaleyes, Rimmel. This twisted shape makes your eyelashes look AWESOME !
You can buy it on Boots.com as I did, or order it straight from the brand I suppose, or maybe at your local supermarket Perhaps !

So... Convinced by the matte lipstick ? ;)

Review: Benefit and Too Faced

Hi Dears,
I just love those two brands I knew about but never faced buying them in stores.
Don't know why, cause it's pretty awesome .

So, beginning with Benefit...
I knew the brand, the packaging, but never tried the Brow Bar.
Which is I reckon, a cool name.
I always , had my brows waxed in a French institute and... Well They have seen better days ! Haha. Always something wrong, even when I explained I liked them big and large. There was always the idontwantitsothin result. Erf.
And, then was the day I discover Benefit !

I wanted to use my gift card in Sephora, so I browse cool things there (including what I m about to show you) and took an appointment.

Don't be scared, but this one of my brow Before, being BenefitTED ;)

And then after , that was quick ;)

Now, I'll post a better picture but you can see the shades I put on are on a nice pinky powder touch, I love it.

So, here comes TOO FACED.

I adore the funny sexy names of the shades by the way, especially Voulez Vous, haha French will always be seen as the Romantic language. You should hear, some French speak now, it would ruin your fantasy !

And some nice details, to put the shades on.

In two words, Benefit and Too Faced, are the new cosmetics brands I tried recently and approved. My brows totally agree with btw, for the Brow Bar, you can find in your nearest Benefit store and for this discovery also:

The Gimme Brow! A volumatising gel which creates structure, when you have some tiny non haired space in your brows ;)

It's the good "entre deux" when you don't want to cover them in make up and don't wanna go out all nude. I love the dotted style !

As I don't often wear my bang down, this is a simple pic to show you my 70s outfit of the other day. I had this Dallas hairstyle it was kind of funny.

Fluffly winter coats #2

So do you remember MOUMOUTTE ?
Yes, you do.
Well Thats not exactly the same, but its kind of in the move that I get these days , and I really adore it.

You might have notice that the 60s are back. Well, for a 40s lover like me, its ashame but anyway i think  we could all get something new by mixing styles, even when they're vintage ! And that makes you "unique".

I bought a lovely coat that I wish I could show you -so that means hopefully a new streetstyle shooting soon-, and by buying it, I made a big mistake. I just realize my fiancée might have bought it for my Christmas present... Will find out in two days now !

The thing cool with this type of coat is that , you can wear the MOUMOUTTE on or not, and it still look wonderful. I really love the fact that there are round buttons to fix and you can't deny Victorienne looks so great here.

The make up was made by Dita Make Up, the clothes are from Her Name is Rita , and the photo by the fab Ewa Cieszkowska. Of course, I made the hair !

Details on Cherry Crown.

I love that the sixties coats could be in this material, whether simple like the white one or a bit tweedy.

The Tara Starlet ones are just simply magnificent. I might buy one , one day ... ;)

What do you think do you like it ?

xoxo,

Lorna

First base

Hi dears,
Today I was in the mood of posting you some tutorial about make up.
Well, it's late in Paris but actually you're all spread around the world so anyway it'll be useful if you read this by night, thus you know what to do in the morning !

Step by step

First, I'll let you notice I am mad of Kiko Cosmetics which brand I talked to you earlier in posts. Some people say it's rubbish, but I actually wear it really softly, it's easy to use and not expensive at all. Even, make up artists, friends of mine, are fond of this brand so why not try if you want to !

I am not narrow-minded , and if you have other cosmetic brands to mention , don't hesitate !

Well let's go ;)

Concealer

(Hi, I've got a real tired face without m-u)

So basically you only tiptoe where you need to, with the concealer, you don't paint with it lol, it's with some slight touching that you do the best work! For my part I don't have any spots, so I'll only put it on the rings, and to give some light under my eyebrows.

(Then I'm a funny panda)

With the foundation, unify the skin , beginning on the cheeks to bond with the part you cover before. I'll tiptoe again, making some bigger moves to reach each part(forehead, over the ears, chin and neck!)

(Don't put too much, a little is just enough;)

I'll reckon I have to tell you, that you obviously use one tone lighter than your skin , which means in my opinion using some really pale color if you could wear it without having a ghost resemblance, of course.

This is mine: 

• 

(The sponge should be white, don't forget to change it it's not expensive if you're not in the clouds as I am...)

Powder puff everywhere with a sponge, drawing to the extremities(neck and borders even the eyebrows if you do them later!)

And blush out !

(Yes I have a strong arm...)

This is the kinda brush you should use, so much easier to apply when you know you shouldn't use this big puffy one you used to call your blush brush...

The shade depends in what impression you want to give, if I want something really soft and romantic I use more of pinky one.

But I usually rather use a darker peach one, so it's more intense and bring some "joy" in my pale skin !

(Always put some powder light base on the eyes before any make up !)

I prefer using some yellow brush (an estompe type we call it in France) so it differs with my "estompe" black brush, that I use for color shade and everything.

Then do what you want ! I do my usual , but this was the idea of the first base of your skin shade ;)

Hope it will help!
