I was in CVS picking up a prescription for my mother today and as I walk in, there it was, a HUGE display of Revlon Color Stay Mineral Lip Gloss with Halle's glorious picture on it, enticing me to buy, buy, buy. Yeah, I could've resisted, but I was weak from a week of lung and ear infections. They took advantage of me. It was a conspiracy, Halle's smile and Revlon offering Buy One Get One Free on all their makeup. I mean, come on, Halle + a BOGO??? What's a slightly demented makeup maven to do?
They didn't have my color on the front display so I ventured back to the regular Revlon wall. They had more colors. I selected my desired two and then. . . right next to Revlon was Almay. Guess what? They were offering Buy One Get One Free, too. All right, all right. I caved. Two BOGOs on the Almay and then the Revlon BOGO and I was one happy camper! Especially since I had a coupon to knock another $4 off. I got almost $60 worth of makeup for $23. Oh frabulous day! :)
What started it all is that I've been on a lip gloss kick for the past two months or so. I love lip gloss. I have thin lips and they don't get any fatter with age (just Botox). Glossy lips always look more voluptuous and younger. The trouble is, most lip gloss doesn't stay on. Now they have "stay-on" lip gloss, "plumping" lip gloss and other types of lip gloss. I'm scarfing up as many as I can and I promise you a review in the next couple of days.
So if you happen to see me obsessively applying lip gloss with a mad gleam in my eyes, blame Halle Berry. It's her fault!!! (That's my story and I'm sticking to it!)
