Because I'm Worth It

'Because I'm Worth It' is the iconic slogan of the L'Oréal beauty company that was first used in 1971. Since then, variations such as 'you're worth it' and 'we're worth it' have been used.

 

For Macro Mondays theme 'Cosmetics'. I bought this lipstick quite a few years ago for £5 which I thought was outrageous as I only wanted it for photographic purposes. As the tube was so smooth the snail kept sliding down, so I built a tiny platform of blu tack at the back so the snail could stay in position. The red stripes are reflections of two red candles placed in front of the lipstick.

 

No snails were harmed in the making of this photograph.
