And yes, I could have made a reference to the 5 shades of grey but I won't.
The swatches: I love how these greys each have their own dimension and duo-toned hue.
- Ghost Stories Present: a whitish grey with a pink overcast
- Holiday Wishes Holiday Spirits: a creamy taupe with rosegold glow
- Midnight Clear Ancient Splendor: A mid grey with turquoise glimmer
- Midnight Clear Song of Old: A true grey with pink flecks
- Winter Spirits Sparkling: A steel grey with multicoloured sparkles
I really love the iconic celebrities of the 1950s/60s and 70s. Moreover, I also like to look how each ages differently and what their lifestyle has to to with it.
Brigitte Bardot (the blonder one) has been tanning and smoking heavily through her life. I still like that she does her glamourous thing with the smokey eyes, bouffant hair and pouty lips that made her famous.

Or a beauty like Jane Birkin. She also is 65 and I really admire she is not facelifted, but her neck still looks quite fresh and not-too-wrinkly for her age. Also, she hardly has any wrinkles around her mouth...
I admire both women and the lifestyle choices that they have made. Brigitte Bardot could have ended like Marilyn Monroe as she also attempted suicide in her life, but she made a complete lifestyle switch from Famous & Fabulous to Secluded & Sheltered.
As for Jane Birkin, her daughters have stepped into her mother's fabulosity and are really famous and iconic too (Lou Doullon). And having one of the most iconic bags named after you always helps. I think happiness shows too...I love Jane's smile and genuine glow.
So how do you think about ageing?
