Lipstick and Lullabies (1915)

About this item

The blissful image of having a child is a far cry from Leah's reality. While other mums are loving life, she feels like a shadow of her former self, and every day is a struggle to cope with her screaming one-year-old daughter, Kiki . Urged by her family to find a release, Leah starts a new job at iconic skincare company, EdenCore. For two days a week, she finally gets a break, swapping nursery rhymes for nail polish and spaghetti hoops for serum. Soon, she is whisked into a world of decadence that is miles away from motherhood. But behind the glossy packaging and the promise of miracle potions, the pressure to be perfect unveils some ugly truths. And as Leah's bond with Kiki starts to bloom, she questions whether happiness really comes from a bottle or if there is true beauty in parenting after all.
