Chick on the Go-Lipstick
Lipstick?Lovely, Lara, Charmed, Cherise, Hydrangea, and #133! Lipsticks are friends. They have personalities, and I connect with them in certain moods?they are with me?I glean comfort and confidence from them.
Lovely is my ?Go-to? lipstick in a gun-metal shiny Smashbox case?an everyday color of rose that never lets me down?good for business meetings, tutoring students, and writing blogs.
Lara?is for hanging with my girlfriends?it?s purple with sparkle.
Now, Charmed comes in a matte airline black box type case?a dark rose?an exclamation point color! It?s worn when I need to do battle on my T-Mobile bill, get an oil change, or when I want to order the Venti Mocha Latte from Starbucks! I want to leave a serious mark on that cup!
The petite sweet Cerise in the small silver ribbed case is a barely-there pink for library trips with my daughter, and when I need to ask my man to fix the faucet in the bathroom.
Hydrangea is concave now?a bright pink used for serious wine class tasting nights?did I mention it?s hollow!
My Plum is for parties and going out; it?s worn down ?just peeking above the silver rim. Hummm, what have I been doing lately?
Then, there?s my #133. It has a little dust on it. The color is a pure candy apple red?I need to wear a mini-skirt with fishnet stockings and black patent leather boots with this number. It?s a New York City lipstick. Come to think of it?I?m going to the City next week. I?ll have to wipe the dust off and tuck it in my bag!
What are you wearing today?
