Edible Lips
By Susan Mercedes. Filed in Life |
I have a lot of lip glosses. A lot. This becomes obvious when I travel by plane since I have to pull out all my liquids and put them in a clear plastic ziplock bag. My response to those who stare at me is, “I have a lipgloss fetish, that’s all.”
It finally dawned on my why I love lipgloss. Here’s why:
- it’s easy to apply (I can do this drunk, without a mirror, while driving…not all those things at the same time of course!)
- it’s less of a commitment than lipstick
- it doesn’t really matter what color you put on, it all looks about the same
- the flavors are like dessert
- it’s shiny
- it’s smackable (as in kissable not hit-able)
- it’s smells delicious
- it satisfies my dessert cravings (okay that one is a lie, I still eat dessert)
Proof is here:
I just dumped out my makeup bag (after picking out the safety pins and brush) and took a shot.
Why carry so many? Because you just never know if it’s a toasted coconut day or a plain vanilla day.
(Sidenote: I think I have a overstocking problem as shown how I do it with wine and why that affects one’s sex life Seriously. It’s proven.)

I’m inclined to agree, but I don’t carry nearly as much around with me. Just one or two favorites.

Tonya: But how do you decide which flavor sounds best? That’s my dilemma.

lipgloss is the only way to go! I’m right with you on this one…..I don’t even put them in a plastic bag anymore, not worth the time (they never say anything)

lostplum: I had no idea. I will try it next time without the plastic ziploc bag. You just saved me time and stress when traveling. Thanks love! I love breaking rules. Especially stupid ones.

I have that Bath and Body Works one. The Whipped Vanilla? Heaven! That replaced my Hotcakes one. Yes, pancake flavor + lipgloss = heaven!

you have some yummy lipglosses. I just got a new covergirl red that is so minty it makes your lips icy cold. I think you’ll like it for winter
(WetSlicks AmazeMint in Red Riot) ha! like you really need any more!
