MAKE UP RECIPES AND A LOVELY START TO THE MONTH

OCTOBER was the eighth month of the Roman calendar and that is why the name is derived from the Greek (and later Latin) octo, which means eight. It is the month when, according to the Chambers Book of Days in 1864, the woods are at their most beautiful!

I wish you all a great start to the month, with new colors, new ideas, fashions, books and, hopefully, also a new lipstick! The guys who read this page may buy it for their partners or girlfriends -- and as for the girls, we may just enjoy one of the privileges of our gender, which is to use lipsticks, make up, cosmetics, and all pretty things! xxx

P.S. As you know, I never go for the idea that we have to use lipstick and cosmetics, though I am crazy about lipstick! We do something only if it makes us feel good. There is make up for all budgets, plus numerous recipes to make our own. Especially 19th century beauty books, like Woman Beautiful, they have recipes for nearly everything!
