Lip-gloss




Now I realize that lip-gloss is certainly not the most important thing in life. But like many other cosmetic items, it seems that lip-gloss continues to make statements that just aren’t true.

So many glosses guarantee that they will “last forever”.

So let me ask you, “Have you ever bought lip-gloss that actually lasted as long as it claims?

Bet I know your answer.

Every time I buy new lip-gloss, I say to myself “this is it! I’ve finally found the lip gloss that is going to last!” And in an hour, I’m re-applying. Fooled again.

What’s with all these “lip tools” now anyway? Plumper, stain, shine, and even diamonds? Why do I want diamonds on my lips? I much prefer those around my neck!

More importantly, why do I want to stain my lips? Like it’s not hard enough guessing which color will match my complexion, now I have to work up the courage to actually stain my lips? And then I have to pray that I’ve chosen the right color! And of course I could be wrong.  May not be right?

…No thanks.

And all this in pursuit of a lip-gloss that actually will last --but not be permanent.  No tattooing my lips. Nope, not my forte.

Shopping for lip-gloss, stain, shine, whatever you may call it, has taught me two things….
  1. It’s not going to last 6 hours like they claim.
  2. Who ever is doing the advertising for these companies – makes me believe that it will last…every time!
Now I want to know if perhaps you have found the perfect lip-gloss.  Or maybe you know the secret to having it last.  Let me know.
