About

Welcome to Lipstick and Lightplay.  My name is Victoria (or Vikki, or Vix) I'm a 30-something year old Canadian woman living in England for the past 16 years.  I work in your standard office job by day as a Change Consultant, and spend my spare time right here blogging about what really makes me happy - primarily beauty and style.

I have a real passion for skincare and cosmetics, and believe that makeup artistry is aptly name as it truly is an art form.  I think that makeup and personal style are an excellent form of self-expression, and aside from that I have to be honest and say that I love all the pretty colours!  I also like to dip my toe into fashion-blogging, and before its demise I would spend more hours than I would care to admit putting together outfits and collections in Polyvore.  Personally I am plus-size and as such try to cater a good proportion of said fashion posts to the curvier among us - and I'm always on the hunt for the next big plus size fashion brand.

I've been blogging on and off for years, starting with the old school personal websites and livejournals and then finally making the foray into beauty-blogging and YouTube in around 2008 on and off.  Real life took over and I put it on the back burner - now that I'm back, though, it doesn't even feel like I ever left.

So really, Lipstick and Lightplay, while superficially branded a beauty blog, is really an amalgamation of me.  Which means that while you will probably see more posts about beauty product reviews, makeup hauls and tutorials interspersed with fashion guides, I'd like to think this is more of a lifestyle blog than anything else.  So you will very likely see travel posts, "day-in-the-life" posts on occasion if anything particularly interesting is happening, maybe even the occasional cooking/baking how-to.

As for me, well I'd love to hear from you if there's anything else you'd like to know.  And I'm always happy to hear from people with similar interests.  My contact details are listed in the main blog sidebar so by all means, please send me an email!

Thank you for visiting!
