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.)

Seriously. I love coconut. I’m not super proud of this obsession, but it’s the truth. And I’m an honest girl. I’ve even written about it here.

Back to my obsession…I adore the smell, the taste and the texture. The mere thought of coconut makes my mouth water.

Just to reiterate the strength of my craving…over this past weekend I met (for the first time) a new online friend who said, “Oh, yeah, you’re the one who loves coconut.” 

I had been thinking about satisfying my craving all day long. My mouth wanted so badly to feel the nutty textured goodness on my tongue. A quick trip to the grocery store solved my issue.

These are divine. I’d lick them until my tongue was rubbed raw. I have fallen in love.

The end.
