Glamour 101: Intro to really awesome red lips


I added a few new lime crime products to my makeup collection recently..the 55% sale definitely helped!

I just recently got Glamour 101, Dragonscales and Nymph. I basically fell in love with Glamour 101. I adore the look of red lipstick and this one is a nice deep wine color. I liked Dragonscales when Xenia gave me a makeover back in winter last year so I figured I'd get it. It's a shimmery mix of brown with a hint of blue..really pretty. Nymph looks nice for everyday added sparkle that's subtle..or it looks nice on a night out as an accent..so I bought that as well.

Glamour 101, Dragonscales on the lid and Nymph on the brow bone. Kinda hard to see because of my mono lids..I wish I could figure out a look that would go with them.


Glamour 101 looks great with black and white..it's just so dramatic!

A stitch in time


How does one measure a year? Apparently it's 2 meters long..

Time is an invisible factor that is made three-dimensional and tangible by the 365 knitting clock. Developed by the German designer Siren Elise Wilhelmsen, the clock consists of a circular knitting mechanism containing 48 needles. With each completion of a day, one round is knitted. Each year the yarn must be changed, leaving a different scarf for every year. Instead of just simply a repetitive cycle around the clock, the mechanism symbolizes the passing of time as an ongoing process.

You could see this as a really clever and artistic way to visualize time, or you could buy a bunch if you're too lazy to make the next year's christmas presents.
