Day Eleven: Lip Gloss

I'm looking at the title and already wondering if this is such a good idea. Suddenly it will look like my account was hacked my a little girl of around 8. Well maybe a bit older. I can assure you that this hasn't been hacked. There is no 5 year old niece sitting beside me telling me to write about her favourite lip gloss brands or how one day she will be Mrs Justin Bieber... Its just Squeak, I promise.

So why on earth would a twenty something write about lip gloss? Tbh it was one of the first things that come into my head tonight, but then after some more thought about I figured I could break the mould just one night. After all there are 39 other posts that can be sensible.

Anyway there is a significant risk that I am going to sound like a young girl by saying this, but I really like lip gloss. There, i said it.... Can life go on now? I can't really explain why I like them. i wasn't a girl that was brought up with drawers full of make up. In fact it wasn't until I started going to university before I started wearing make up on a more regular basis, and even then it is not that often.

Anyway, moving right along. I like lip gloss. I like the ones that have the really nice scents. I'm thinking of Lush ones right now. Then there are the ones that make your lips all shiny. I've never been a big fan of those. Esp the ones that make your lips look like jelly. I mean seriously, what man would want to kiss a jelly?! Of course most lip glosses also taste nice. Not that any of us buy them just based on that. Although Vanilla Coke lip gloss was very tempting.

Lip gloss is such a simple thing that I wear everyday. I guess it is my little pick me up. i have a variety in my backpack. I won't be as bold to say that I have a different one for a different mood. But I do like to rotate that ones I wear around. I feel somewhat naked without it on. I guess it would be like forgetting to put your watch that you wear everyday on. Maybe.

I like to sit in class and play with my lip gloss tubes. Probably end up putting on far more than I need, but oh well. Statistics lectures are boring. Even the lecturers admit it. It may be one of the small things that I do each day to make myself feel pretty. I have no idea if it actually makes a difference. Do guys really care if a girl has soft kissable lips? But considering how much I battle with my reflection in the mirror, if it is a small victory then I will continue to do it. I like wearing it and since there is no significant other in my life I don't really have to worry. I highly doubt any boy will be kissing me anytime soon.

So there you go, Day Eleven is my confession about lip gloss.
