How to Make Your Lipstick Colors Look Spectacular
Trying to find the right color lipsticks isn’t easy, even if you try them on in the store before getting home. The lighting is different, and it can be disappointing to discover that you don’t love the color like you thought you did. Age doesn’t matter. In this post, you will find out how to make your lipstick colors look spectacular!
The only way to end up at home with the perfect lipstick purchase every time is if you buy your favorite color over and over without the company ever discontinuing it and just give up trying new colors! The temptation is that there are new ones every season. 😉
Well, you can take things into your own hands and mix your own colors! That way, if a color isn’t so hot on you it can be mixed with other colors until you get exactly what you want.

In the World of Fashion: Death of an Icon
I was saddened by the news that Karl Lagerfeld died in Paris earlier this week at the age of 85. I’m glad he was with us for so long, but his talent will be missed in the world of fashion.
He designed for Fendi for 54 years, and is known particularly for his career as creative director for the house of Chanel for 36 years. Shortly after his death, his successor was confirmed as Virginie Viard. She was his longstanding right-hand helper in his work for decades.
Lagerfeld worked straight through to the end, although he was unable to attend the Chanel Haute Couture spring/summer 2019 show in January because he was “too tired.” Viard stood in his place at that show. It has been reported that Lagerfeld was working hard on the women’s autumn/winter 2019 Fendi collection up until his death, giving notes from his bed. Three days after his death, that final collection was shown in Milan.
Besides his designs, another thing I enjoyed about Lagerfeld was his witty and wacky thoughts as evidenced in his quotes…some thoughtful, some humorous, and some that implied the eccentricity that drove his unique creative career. Looking through his quotes for this post, I had a lot of good laughs. Lagerfeld held strong opinions and stated them boldly. Some are outrageous, controversial and not put politely. Those I skipped.
Following are some of my favorite designs and quotes by Karl Lagerfeld, starting with one that proves age doesn’t matter! Continue Reading
