DISCLAIMER:
You are advised to not to read/look this post at night or if you are on a lipstick ban because you may feel the sudden urge to rush out and buy a new lipstick. Also, you won’t understand this post if you aren’t crazy for lipsticks. So, in the end don’t call me crazy because normal is just an illusion. And, this is not my lipstick collection. No, I’m not showing off. ^_^
Recently, I finished my L’oreal lip stain “Bella” (Review HERE) and I still can’t bring myself to throw it. I have finished 2 lipsticks and 3 lipglosses till date and I have not been able to throw any. They are too precious and gorgeous to be thrown away in a dustbin.. even in my cute looking dustbin.
There’s something about lipsticks that are neatly lined and are placed after one another. They are bright, bold and dull with their bullet head straight, just like our nature. When I’m feeling low, I just stare at them, adore their beauty, pick up one to uplift my mood and put it on. There’s something magical about them. It’s like they give me hope. Do you feel that too?
Sometime back, I was on a lipstick ban for 2 months (to buy some limited edition lipsticks that were going to be launched) and it was miserable. I gained 3 kgs in those two months since whenever I felt the need to buy a new lipstick; I had to calm myself down by eating so many cupcakes.
Infact, I realize that buying lipsticks is actually healthy. I can’t cut on my other expenses. So, recently when I brought THIS YSL lipstain, I gave up on so much of junk food to save money! I think we should all buy a high end lipstick every 2 months! This can be a new kind of diet. A revolutionary idea! But it would work only if you are a lipstick lover and you have a budget! Yes, that can also be your New Year resolution if you still have not made any. *Notes down herself*
I don’t feel guilty in buying and possessing so many lipsticks! In fact, I know the number will just keep increasing. Yes, I am materialistic (It boosts up my motivation level!) but never has that interfered with my kindness, compassion and honesty! In the end, we all are materialistic.. it’s just that the choices differ.
Currently, I have 15 lipsticks which are still pending for review and I prayed that I would not buy another one till I review at least half of them. But as fate would have it, I saw a SA swatching such a pretty pink lipstick on someone’s hand. I was walking from the makeup counter with my head turned away in another direction and it had to turn to the SA’s direction at that time! It was like the lipstick called me! Actually, I heard the SA’s voice saying “madam, yeh bhot sundar pink hai.” It was such a gorgeous pink. The curve of my smile has broadened quite a bit! I had to try it. Ya, I brought it home.
I placed it on my bedside table. The untouched bullet, the beautiful pink shade and the yummy scent.. I am wearing it now.. Oh! It is such a beauty! It’s Lakme gloss addict “Pink Temptation.” Never did I thought I would buy a Lakme lipstick worth for Rs.800. Well.. I did! Now, I’m on a mission to hunt a lipstick shade which I saw Jacqueline Fernandez wearing recently.. I got to have it!
Are you a lipstick lover? Do you have a crazy lipstick incident to share? Do you feel like buying a lipstick now? I may tomorrow! No! Yes! No….
