I Got That Red Lip, Classic Thing That You Like.

"She has a way with words, red lipstick and making an entrance." - Kate Spade

When I think of the lipstick, the first thing I can think of is the colour red. I always thought you had to be blonde to wear red, but as per usual I was wrong. Anyone can wear red lipstick and it'll look good because it's such a classic colour, and such a staple to everyone's collection. So I thought i'd share my little collection that i've accumulated over the past year.

So as you can see above, I swatched them and put their colour names on top of them.

Right now i'm loving Sin, Divine Wine and Berry Picking. I go through stages, I mean a few months ago it was Reckless and Beguiled. It's weird because I forgot I had a few of these shades, I struggle trying to make the brighter red's like 'Hazard' work, but i'm going to persevere and try and wear each of these colours once by Christmas Day this year.

What are your favourite red lipsticks? What other red's should I try? Let me know in the comments. Laura xo

Dear Journalists, Why Are You Such Tit's?

So back in June, Benedict Cumberbatch and Sophie Hunter welcomed their first child into the world and last week we discovered he was named 'Christopher Carlton Cumberbatch'. Straight away is there anything wrong with that? He has a first name, a middle name and a last name. Funny enough though, they all begin with 'C'. That's pretty cool right? Apparently according to 'Heart Scotland' these two lovely parents have 'Lost the plot when it comes to naming their child' Why is that you may ask? I'll tell you.

Because it's apparently a 'Tongue-twisting name'. You really just can't make this shit up.

Stuff like this annoys me to no end. They named their son Christopher which is a beautiful name which of course can be shortened to Chris. The important thing is, is that it's an ordinary name. We're used to seeing Christopher's around. So why is it such a news worthy thing that their sons full name has three C's?

One of the most popular and familiar reality TV show families; The Kardashians have done this. Kris, Kim, Kourtney and Khloe Kardashian. So what is actually the big deal?

Is it the fact that Carlton is his middle name? Benedict's fathers last name is Carlton and it's very common to have surnames as middle names. My dad's middle name is Gourley, which is the last name of relations on either his mother or father's side.

My final comment is that so what it's a tongue twister of a name? Anyone's name said three times fast will be a tongue twister. As if people are going to meet him and go 'Alright Christopher Carlton Cumberbatch?' Come on people! They are perfectly sane first time parents who named their son an ordinary name. I wish the couple all the best and I bet you he's absolutely beautiful.

Yours Faithfully,
