Real Simple showed it on a model in this month's magazine as an example of natural easy makeup. Red is not for me.

(Not that I can afford Lanvin).<br /><br />At Lane Crawford, a department store here, I fell in love with a chunky mass of different sized strands of pearls all twisted together. I thought it was custom jewelry until I looked at the cost. (Several thousand US). If it were affordable, I'd wear it with my cropped denim jacket.<br /><br />In Australia, I found warped looking pearls. It's what happens when two grains of sand become pearls in one oyster instead of just one -- they're like twins, two round bits stuck inside an irregular blobby pearl. They weren't expensive (because they are reject pearls?) so I bought them.<br /><br />I wear bright red lipstick alot! On Asian coloring, it actually doesn't look too unnatural.Joyce Lauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18078504968737757085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536011140055575088.post-11042821322617059992010-06-08T08:42:13.109-07:002010-06-08T08:42:13.109-07:00I love lipstick queen!I love lipstick queen!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00221135813019771640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5536011140055575088.post-15557213182295608272010-06-08T04:04:23.640-07:002010-06-08T04:04:23.640-07:00The linen-strung pearls read as more naive than br...The linen-strung pearls read as more naive than brutal b/c they are of modest size.
