LIPSTICK FUN

IT was the perfect start to the Friday night: a brand new lipstick in a lovely shade! I am talking about the Nyx 24 Jumbo Lip Pencil, in the most amazing shade of fuchsia and pink!

The new lipstick was recommended to me by Mike Orphanides, a dear friend, and the no 1 make-up artist in Cyprus! It belongs to a new line for summer and spring, and it is not only lovely on the face but also on the skin; it is light, moist and lasting!

Nyx cosmetics are named after Nyx, the Greek Goddess of Night, and the mother of Dreams!

All the Greek Goddesses were renowned for their beauty, and the Greeks took beauty very seriously. They believed that a well-cared-for body produces a good mind --in Greek, νους υγιής εν σώματι υγιή. The Iliad and the Odyssey, the sacred books of classic Greece, are full of beauty advice (more about this in a later post).

Lipstick adds a touch of fantasy to everyday life. It is special to women, and women make it special!

The new lipstick is a star in my collection, and makes any night more glamorous, more exciting, and more fun!
