Yesssssss it is good to be back, if only to be ensconced once more in my personal photo studio.

The shades are via French Connection — stylish, and with great UV protection. I’ve experienced couture designer shades in the past, and I gotta tell ya, I am much happier and more impressed with the sunnies you can pick up on the High Street. Although I suspect that the name brands are solely for wear in airports.

For wear anywhere: Burberry Lip Velvet in Military Red. It is the perfect matte blue-toned red lippy, that lasts and lasts as long as you don’t eat — also designed, I suppose with your A-listed Size Zero in mind, I suppose.

Nevertheless, us real woman can get a lot of joy out of this. I am still off kilter from The Lag, and find I’m not hungry for dinner until 11.30 pm. Not helpful from a metabolic point-of-view, but great for making the makeup last.

It retails for €27, and if anyone has stockist info, plz advise; the phone lady at BT was all like, I’ve never heard of it, and you know that the phone lady at BT knows everything. < Not bein’ snarky. She totally does.

Happy New Year!
