OCC Lip Tars have been around for years. I remember when I first heard of them, I jumped straight on to that bandwagon, and even though I tried to love them, I just couldn't. Don't get me wrong, some of the shades were amazing and there was so much variety, truly something for everyone but I just couldn't deal with the formula - or so I thought. They came in these strange squishy tubes that you'd squeeze out on to a brush for application, it just felt a little too thin for me and would always bleed around the mouth.

Despite the difficulties in applying the product to my lips, I knew that if I did get the application spot on, it would have looked beautiful. The pigmentation was something else, like nothing I'd seen before, it was almost perfectly opaque. I imagined it would look like the lips were drenched in flavoursome, juicy colour. But, it just wasn't to be...

Until now.

 

When it comes to eye-makeup, I go through these little phases were I'm just completely taken by a certain look or style. Not so long, you may remember, it was the under-eye dot, which was ridiculously easy to do, yet still made such a big impact on my makeup looks. And deven before that I was loving the 1960's Edie Sedgwick style: simple, classy and elegant. Now though, the latest thing I've been trying my hand at is under-eye tears.

Don't you just love it when you're having one of those good hair days, where your strands just fall perfectly into place in front of the mirror and everything looks exactly as you planned it all out? Of course you do, who wouldn't? Well, once upon a time I kind of dreaded that feeling, because I knew that if my hairspray didn't turn my hair into a crisp, then the Mancunian wind and/or rain would get to it instead.

It's almost been two weeks since my last post, it's been a bit tough adjusting to life without my beloved Wilhelmina, but I'm getting there.Who'd have thought a furry little four-legged creature could have such a big impact?

 

They say that you don't pick a cat. The cat picks you. With Willie, neither was the case. Fate brought us together. That may seem a touch melodramatic, but we both needed each other at the time, and the way our paths crossed could surely be no coincidence.
