About Us

MERLE BROWN was named after Hollywood bombshell Merle Oberon. It was perhaps inevitable then that she fell in love with all things yesteryear.  She adores beauty – although she is a beauty school drop-out! -  and began wearing red lipstick at 14 when she fell in love with Marilyn Monroe.

Merle’s other passions include cats, dying her hair bold colours,vintage Sindy dolls and the 1970s – her favourite Bombshell from that era is Farrah Fawcett. She’s been writing for 17 years, was staff at the Daily Record newspaper for six – three of them as Fashion Editor -  and now freelances at home in Edinburgh.

    Hi Merle,

    Could i send you out an Artdeco Lipstick?

    i’ve only followed you recently since i opened my twitter account @TLSkincare – still not 100% sure what i’m doing there lol…..

    But i’ve been reading your reviews for sometime on the 5pm website – and so far i cant see that you have tried the artdeco lipsticks?? I hope not….

    You can let me know and i will send you out one, and hopefully you will like it!

    My website is just new, and i’m still trying to add a lot of the products, including the LIPSTICKS!

    If you HAVE tried the Artdeco lipsticks then i will send you something else………

    Kind Regards,

    Nicola Russell
