Salma: I’m glad I made you smile! You have a nice one! I used to wear lipstick – like 20 years ago – and never really got into the hassle of it: reapplying, leaving marks on glasses, leaving marks on my clothing and leaving marks on … someone else. I gather the “technology” is better now but eh, one less thing for me to worry about!

I found the cards both frightening in their message and hilarious in their prose! The names for the lip “cremes” were pretty funny:
“racy rouge”, “naughty nude”, and “blackmail.”

The Diamond Lust Sheer Shadow eyecolor names weren’t much better: “platinum plaything”, “grab me gold” and “bedroom bronze.”

I don’t mind makeup – it can enhance a person’s appearance. I wear some eyeshadow when I’m working but don’t bother otherwise. Sunscreen and lip balm are my way of facing the day.

Ms.Q,

Your post made me smile! I must admit I do love my gloss, and yes, it is a rather sticky situation. = )

I am sure he will be enjoy the way my lips bounce off the wineglass creating a sweet ringing tone.

Yeah, really. That doesn’t look so much like lipstick as it does some sort of acrylic epoxy.

Cosmetics can be pleasing in a “let’s get really dressed up,” special occasion sort of sense, but for the most part I enjoy the natural, fresh beauty of a woman sans make-up.

Just think about what cosmetics and the associated advertising suggests — that you’re not attractive on your own or that you’re flawed and that Revlon and Mabeline can help.

What a horrible message!
