Comfortable skin, obedient hair, confidence, compliments — it’s weird magic. Two of the most compelling spirit-pleasers are perfume and lip colour. They have pause-button power, the ability to focus our attention completely on an instant of pure appreciation, a moment of omigodifreakinglovethat.

This is the second — wait, it’s the third — in our scent-duets series, in which Liza (*leeza*) takes perfume and I take lip and we put them together for fun. … [visit site to read more]
