Aside from her fashion, I’ve been eyeing her lip & nail colours for some time now & was so pleased when Lady Melbourne agreed to do this fun interview with us~

My digital camera(s) is/are… Canon 1000D Digital SLR, Canon Digital Ixus 200 IS

My favourite feature of myself is… I like my hair if I do say so myself!

My signature look is… vintage glam twisted into a modern look.

The lip colour I use the most in my photos is… I always use a gloss, normally Bobbi Brown lip gloss in ‘Crystal.’ But if I really want my lips to pop I use Chi Chi lip laquer wand in ‘Ain’t no other Red’ or ‘Trolley Dolly.’ I also use Gal Collection Strawberry balm from Madrid as a base.

The shade(s) or brand(s) I repeatedly buy, convincing myself it’s a variation I must add to my collection is… Ha! Hilarious, I always buy lip gloss in any shade, as long as it’s gloss. I cannot walk into a department store or Priceline and not buy a gloss. I have Estee Lauder, Chanel, YSL, Bobbi Brown, Lancome, Nivea, Revlon, Max Factor, Chi Chi, Gal Collection, Mirenesse, Liz Clairbourne, Christian Dior. It would not surprise me if I owned upwards of 50 lips glosses, not including lipstick or balms.

The next lip product on my wish list is… I’ve heard that Armani products are fantastic and I don’t already own any gloss from their collections.

A shade I’ve been meaning to try is… I would love to try something neon, but I’m just not sure it would suite me. Perhaps a sherbet lip gloss would be nice. On the complete other end of the scale, I wouldn’t mind trying a nude, matt lip either a la, Scarlette Johanson in the latest D&G campaign.

The nail polish shade I use the most in my photos is…. Revlon ‘Valentine’ which is a red, Rimmel ‘Black Out’ which is black obviously and Revlon ‘Craving Coral’ which is a redish coral.

The shade(s) or brand(s) of nail polish I repeatedly buy again, convincing myself it’s a variation I must add to the collection is… anything red or pink.

A nail trend I’m itching to try is… rhinestone nails. Yes, you read correctly!

And finally… what is your Number 1 beauty commandment? Thou shall not sunbake.
