#Powerofmakeup

#Powerofmakeup has frenzied beauties around the world into portraying their true- selves in images of half-done makeup.

Stack ‘em Up

As a woman from a contrasting generation, I was taught that “less is more” when it comes to any and everything that may enhance a ladies natural beauty.  You could quickly distinguish a person’s social status by the amount of make-up, perfume and jewellery she wore and if any of these augmentations were considered excessive on a particular character by the neighbourhood watch, you were…

The Mixologists

The urban dictionary defines the term, “mixology” as “the study of mixing drinks and cocktails”, going on to say that “it’s a term used by employees of bars and night clubs to mask the fact that they are bartenders. It is intended to make the occupation sound more important or part of the sciences.”
