Dressing Red

Being a red connoisseur, favourite types or shades of red things have almost become staple purchase. The following is a list of some products; some only found in Australia some possibly elsewhere. If your having a particularly scarlet day you might like to give these a whirl: 

  • Shiseido No.8 red lipstick - see an earlier post for more tips on this.
  • 6RS or 6.45 hair colour available from some retailers (you have to buy 20vol Oxy. to mix with it) or just ask your hairdresser. This is the colour of my hair in the pics, it's not so in your face red that you look like the stunt double for Rony Mac D.
  • Dangerfield red clothing (Aus only), my latest purchases from them including a red hooded jacket and red jumper, both striking shades which get loads of comments.
  • Rimmel London Lycra Pro nail polish 323-Riviera Red - not only a rocking colour but it's easy to apply, dries fast and lasts.
  • Lancome eyeshadow - can't remember the shades exactly but there's a coppery red along with a gold, brown and beige. It sticks like glue all day to your eyelids and if you have green, brown or hazel eyes it makes your eye colour really stand out. (not recommended with red lipstick, unless your going for the smacked out junky look)
I'm not totally obsessed with sticking to everything in red, and there are plenty of things that I would never buy in red i.e. trousers, socks, or furniture. I also don't really wear too much at the same time...moderation is the key to most passions, obsessions or addictions in life...ooh preachy! Best go down some more chocie biscuits for that ;)
