I've really been getting into the 1960's vibe lately, with decorating and makeup especially. I've always had a little thing for the style. Lately though I don't know if it's because spring is coming and the colors are popping or if it's the season premiere of Mad Men this coming weekend that is getting me in the mood. Joan is my personal fave. She is so fiery and represents all us curvy girls! Go Christina Hendricks! I'm thinking a Mad Men makeup inspired look will have to happen this week. 

Feeling dangerous lately? Mac's Lady Danger lipstick is the perfect accessory! First off, I love the name. Second, It is the first Mac red that I bought which lead me to have 78 of their lipsticks in total, and counting. I even have a backup!




It is a gorgeous opaque mix of red and orange with a creamy matte texture. It has an almost bright coral tone to it but is most definitely a red lipstick.

I love matte lipsticks but I know that some can be drying. This one however has never given me any issues with that.

I highly recommend this shade. It brings such a brilliant pop to the face no matter your skin tone when worn with a simple cat eye. You can even throw a gloss on top if you're feeling extra snazzy.

So by my name I think it is pretty obvious I love my Marilyn Monroe. I have always loved old hollywood and there has always been this obsession with it ever since I was little. So of course, after reading books on Marilyn, blogs on classic Hollywood actresses, and research like crazy, I finally found some beauty "secrets" of what those gorgeous ladies used.




Erno Laszlo is a high end skin care brand that has been around since 1939 when Mr. Laszlo opened his institute in Manhattan. His collection is classic. Not only have people such as Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe, and Audrey Hepburn been devotees to his line but it is popular among many across the world.

After reading that Ms. Monroe used his products regularly, I had to try it. Now, to get the whole set is pretty pricey but in my opinion it does last and it does do a great job. I also find the process to be pampering and relaxing due to the splashing technique that is part of what makes this line so famous.

Plus the packaging is gorgeous!

Here is an example of a few of Marilyn's products:
