When I was younger, I used to say I would never wear lipstick. I thought it was sticky and annoying. I mean, who would want their lips coated in nasty stuff all day? Turns out that I would. Somewhere along the puberty line, I developed an appreciation for lipstick that turned into love and has finally evolved into a borderline obsession. There are many curses and blessings of being a lipstick lover, and here are just a few:
1. Money Spent
Seriously, your bank account hates it every time you go on a lipstick spree. Let's be honest, good lipstick isn't cheap, we spend ungodly sums of money on it.
2. Owning a million tubes of the same color
There's always that one shade that we love, and the temptation of buying it in many different brands is just too great. People question why you want so many of the same, but they just don't understand.
3. Stick vs Liquid
Personally, I'm a liquid lipstick girl, but the debates for this one rival Clinton vs Trump.
4. Matte vs Shine vs Gloss
See above.
5. Picking a shade for the day
Hairstyle? Easy. Clothes? Already picked out. Lip color? PANIC.
6. Eating
Awkward eating angles are a struggle, but hey, priorities.
7. Getting compliments on your favorite lipstick
Thank you, thank you. I know.
8. Making a lipstick convert
Honestly, there is no better feeling than when your friends start wearing lipstick because your obsession has rubbed off of them. Gotta do something good with my life, right?
