Orange Lips

I'm a big fan of mad, bright lip colour so I thought I'd put one of my good old favourites out there. True, it might be a bit OTT for some people's tastes but for me, I love it and I hope you do too!

Here I'm wearing 'Morange' by MAC. I've never been quite sure how to pronounce this one.. is it Morange, like orange the beloved spherical fruit? Or Moraaanje with a french accent? Who knows, I've heard both said. I fear we shall never know.

(Urban Decay eyeshadow 'Maui Wowie')
































These are just a couple of photos I took a few days ago on a whim (so forgive the slight messiness) and I've mixed in a few shots from Oxford Fashion Week press party last year, so you can see it's still going strong!

  13. oh you are such a girl after my own heart, haha. whenever i whip Morange out, my friends give me looks like i'm mad for daring to put it anywhere near my lips.. haha. i don't get nude or "my lip but better" lipsticks. i'm an all or nothing person; i also love a dark purple/black lipstick too.

    adore your blog, i'm now following it!

    (ps, i say it like orange with an m!)
