Her Kohl-rimmed eyes, dangling earrings,/ The chiffon scarf, the satin silk shirt

All the luxurious skincare routine
Finest argan oil, lip balm, sunscreen,
For all latest news, follow The Daily Star's Google News channel. The fancy diet, rich in protein and fibre
Her cup of oolong tea, flavour of cider,
Bold shades of lipstick, tinted cheeks
Her Kohl-rimmed eyes, dangling earrings,
The chiffon scarf, the satin silk shirt
Couldn't glow her up!
All along she was carrying a heavy heart!
