lipstick devotional

i love lipstick. it's a well known fact that i have worn lipstick exclusively for the past 3 years...up until then i would share time between lipgloss and lipstick. anyways, i just found a fabulous quote by peter phillips (for those of you who don't know he is chanel's global creative director for makeup) on the cinderella project (a wedding blog, if you are getting married check it out and if you arn't...like me...it has pretty pictures, good ideas for normal parties, and the name is fabulous).

"Women seem to have forgotten how to apply lipstick . . . there is something so feminine about the act of applying lipstick. I want to make lipstick as easy to apply as lip gloss, and for a long-lasting formula to feel comfortable on the lips."

why? why does she not wear lipgloss you may ask. well, i find it to be so annoying when hair gets stuck in your lips. honestly, i couldn't drive with the window down without my hair getting stuck in my face and inevitably blocking my vision. i also would find myself compulsively making sure it was still on and that the color was showing and when neither of those were happening i would sprint to the bathroom and fix it. (or attempt to fix it because everyone and their mother was trying to do the same thing!) so as you can see it was simply too stressful and time consuming to continue my relationship with lipgloss so i committed to lipstick!

sidenote: there is a new chanel red that i am absolutely am going to try!
