The Best Lip Gloss Ever
The Best Lip Gloss Ever
Last year I really got into lip gloss. Maybe I had seen too many L’Oreal commercials, “Because I’m worth it.” As soon as I acknowledged my passion for lip gloss there began the quest to find the ultimate color.
Looking back, I can say I was a bit obsessed. Ever time I went into Boots, Duane Reed, CVS, Super Drug, Giant Foods, Tesco, Sainsburys or Kmart I bought at least one lip gloss. Sometimes I bought 4 or 5 at a time. It sounds harmless but I basically ended up buying one lip gloss per day for two months. Yeah, I had a LOT of lip gloss. At any given moment I had at least 8 different lip glosses in my purse.
Around the same time I began dating someone. It’s fair to say that I was rather smitten with the guy. Dating someone made my lip gloss obsession worse. It made me more determined to find the perfect shade.
I was somehow convinced that the perfect shade of lip gloss would transform me; that the perfect shade would make me so beautiful, so irresistible that I would be desired by man I pass by.
Out of the 60 or so lip glosses in my collection, three of them became my favorites; the ones I wore all the time. All three lip glosses were a pink / reddish color. Unfortunately, I accidental left one of my favorite lip glosses at the home of the guy dating. I stayed there over night and left it in his bedroom. He noticed my lip gloss lying around and couple later and threw it away.
Now, over a year later, I’m still thinking about that lip gloss! What the Fuck? Why does it annoy me so much? Am I annoyed that the guy threw it away? Am I annoyed that I’ve been unable to find the same exact shade? Am I irked because after spending nearly two months finding it, that it’s gone? I don’t know. In my head this lip gloss has reached epic proportions. When I think back about it I think, “That was THE BEST lip gloss ever!” And I actually feel quite sad that it’s gone.
I guess it’s difficult for me to get over things (and people).

Good grief 60 lip glosses!!!!!!! My my you really do know how to go all out, when you find something you want/like. I have seen the gloss trend reach even my own lips, leaving my many many carmex's, vaseline and others in the shade. Now as a fully paid member of the gloss beast club, I have been asking myself this question, Is gloss simply a comfort thing? Is it validating our existance? Why can't Mucky pass a counter, without diving into the pinks? Is it the taste? Or is it simply a case of being worth it...Admittedly I just bought another..it was Benefit again. And no, I'm not worth it, but my lips disagree
