Meet the woman obsessed with the colour pink - who wears shades of it every day, has pink hair and lives in a pink flat.
Vina Murad, 26, has loved the colour for as long as she can remember and says it has now "become her identity".
In 2023, Vina dyed her naturally brunette hair pink and now gets her locks dyed the same colour every six weeks.
Her wardrobe is filled with pink dresses, skirts, socks and blouses and if she wears anything that isn't pink she "doesn't feel like myself".

00:00Get ready with me while I tell you how and why I moved to Japan.
00:08So to give you a little bit of a backstory about my life, I actually grew up quite poor
00:12which people don't realise because I think I look really rich but my parents are both
00:16immigrants from Kurdistan in Iraq.
00:18I feel like people think that in order to move to Japan or whatever you have to have
00:22like a really privileged background and I just don't and I want other people who also
00:25don't have a privileged background to be like oh like maybe I can do the things that
00:29I want to do, against all odds.
00:31After a long custody battle we were able to move to the UK with my mum and English was
00:34actually my third language, I couldn't speak any of it until I moved to the UK.
00:37I actually didn't like living in the UK at all, also at this time I was really going
00:40through like a lot, like I was mentally unwell, I had undiagnosed ADHD and bipolar disorder
00:45and especially the ADHD is like really like I can't believe I was undiagnosed because
00:48I have pretty bad ADHD.
00:50And I didn't know what it was but I just knew that I wasn't happy with my life and I wasn't
00:53happy with the way my life was going.
00:55So when I was 15 I decided like okay I really want to go to Japan, I want to see what it's
00:58like, I'll just study there for a bit and then take it from there.
01:01Keep in mind though that I can't just like ask my mum for money, she was like a single
01:04mum raising two kids.
01:05So when I was 16 I started going to sixth form college and I started working at McDonald's,
01:08so I worked at McDonald's for a year and then I worked at Sainsbury's, a supermarket chain
01:11for a year and the point is I was working a lot and I hated it, I hated this part of
01:15my life so much because I had to study so much, I had to work so much and I was so depressed.
01:19Like I would do school from morning until 5 and then 5 until 10pm I would do McDonald's
01:24and then I would go home and I would like do a bunch of homework and then when I'm falling
01:27asleep I would like hear the fry machine from McDonald's because I just like couldn't
01:30relax.
01:31But I saved like crazy for 3 years and then I ended up moving to Japan.
01:35So for base makeup I'm kind of lazy, I just apply some concealer and some powder and I
01:42kind of call it a day even when my skin isn't that great.
01:45Since I was planning on using such a bright pink blush and also such a bright pink lipstick
01:49I decided to keep my eye makeup kind of neutral, just with a little bit of glitter.
01:52I apply kind of an orangey eyebrow colour, I like quite light eyebrows, I actually bleached
01:57them maybe like once every 2 weeks or something like that.
02:00I think it softens your features.
02:01When I contour my nose I always really focus on making the tip look rounder just because
02:05I think it makes it look really cute.
02:06I like to centre my blush in like certain areas instead of like all over my whole face.
02:10I was really happy with the pigmentation of this blush and I thought it was the perfect
02:14pink.
02:15Then I made my lips super pink, I ended up liking this colour as well, added a little
02:18bit of highlighter, did my mascara, I always clump up my mascara like this, I just really
02:23like the pointy look.
02:24When my makeup was done so I decided to put together a little outfit.
02:27I felt like I wanted to wear something preppy today, I actually ended up putting on tights
02:31after this because I thought it was going to be cold but then it was too hot and I regretted
02:34it.
02:35So finish off the rest of my look and then that's pretty much it!
02:54Bye!
