                                       This year's collection was inspired by feathers and diamonds. 
                                             

The pattern reminds me of feather dances in a 1930's burlesque show.

Lip balm: Inspired by Trace's Into the Gloss  post about "lived in" lipstick HERE, I bought Starburst Lip Smackers in Strawberry Banana, Melon Mango, and Cherry Kiwi. If you're a fan of matte then you probably need these because they're very balmy as opposed to slippery. I'm addicted like a fourth grader!
