Twenty is a tough age because it slips past in the middle of so much else - university, gap year, leaving home, getting jobs.
Natto, Japanese ferment bean paste, will never cross my lips again. Spam Musubi, on the other hand, is something I love. I used to have a roommate of Vietnamese descent, and he would eat it all the time. It looked gross, but I finally had it - wrapped in seaweed and rice - it was terrific.
My advice is keep your lips away from the spinning things.
Lipsticks are like socks. I put lipstick on before any other makeup. I use MAC's Chestnut lip liner, and sometimes I mix two or three shades together.
I don't think the people in power realize how detrimental it can be to a way a girl looks at herself if she flips through a magazine and only sees one type of woman.
Just because something is on trend doesn't mean you have to embrace it. You can look at it and admire it, but that doesn't mean you have to wear black nail polish or red lipstick.
I discovered I was passionate about the creative process, the product development, creating a concept around a fragrance or lipstick.
Everyone always asks, 'Did you ever rebel? Did you dye your hair blue? Did you wear black nail polish?' I mean, of course, there have been episodes when you wear weird-colored lipstick... But generally, I think I was pretty much the way I am now.
I have always loved beauty and fashion. Some of my earliest memories are of being surrounded by fragrances and lipstick samples.
The lips of the wise are as the doors of a cabinet; no sooner are they opened, but treasures are poured out before thee.
