If lipsticks could talk..

 

‘Fairytale‘ came in my life 3 years back and knew that she had become a quick favourite of mine as she was on my front lipstick stand. She was soon accompanied by ‘Peekaboo Neutral‘. They both were my 2 most worn pink lippies until..

(‘The girl’ refers to me in the conversation below)

 

Fairytale– Hey! Who’s she?

Peekaboo– Who? Who? *Yawns*

Fairytale- Gawd! Open your eyes and see!

Peekaboo– Looks in the front. Sees a new lipstick unscrewing her cap. Ah! Oh! Did this girl go shopping again?

Fairytale– I’m thinking the same thing right now. Just 2 days back, she said that her bank account statement looks like a ‘makeup shopping cart’ and that she won’t be buying makeup for at least 2 months.

Peekaboo– I’m telling you! There’s absolutely no force in the entire galaxy that can help her.

Fairytale– Well, yeah! I wonder how she’s going to buy that LE thing now for which she was planning to save.

Peekaboo– I’m sure she’ll finally forward that letter to RBI today and propose her idea on providing loan to makeup lovers.

Fairytale– Maybe, maybe not.

Peekaboo– Errmm..Should we say ‘hey’ to the new girl? Starts talking to herself. Or, maybe hello? Should I shake her hand? I think I should also ask how she’s doing.

Fairytale– Wow! Social awkwardness is really your super power. And by the way, I’m pretty sure she has been listening to us..although not pretending to.

Peekaboo– Really? I..

Fairytale– Cuts in. Hey! I’m ‘Fairytale’.

Blossom– Hey! What a beautiful name! I’m ‘Peach Blossom’.

Fairytale– *Blushes* Thanks!

Blossom– And you’re? Looking at Peekaboo.

Peekaboo– Hey! I’m Neutral, Peekaboo Neutral. The girl’s fav!

Blossom– *Confused*

Peekaboo– *Looking at Fairytale* Even her!

Fairytale- *Face palm*

Peekaboo– Never mind! This situation isn’t going the way I acted out in my head.

Blossom- What? *Confused*

Peekaboo– Nothing. Nothing. *Aal is well. Aal is well*

Fairytale– So, you just came today. Right?

Blossom– Yeah! *Beaming* The girl loved me at the counter. She couldn’t wait to take me home.

Fairytale– Shocked. Looks at Peekaboo for an encouraging expression but is let down by an equally shocked face. Gains her voice back. Loves you? Did she really say that to you?

Blossom– No, she didn’t but I could make it out by the way her eyes sparkled after looking at me. Blushes.

* In hushed voices*

Fairytale- She’s just mistaken.

Peekaboo– Clearly! I mean, the way she looks at pizza, I haven’t see her give that loving look ever to any of her friends. Maybe, her mom..

Fairytale– Right, right. We’re thinking too much.

Peekaboo– Yeah! Poor Blossom. Too young for a heartbreak.

*A day later*

Fairytale– Hey! She’s getting ready.

Peekaboo– I’ve a feeling she’s going to pick me today! Aaj main upar, aasman neeche..

Fairytale– I don’t..whattttt??

*The girl picks up Blossom*

Blossom– See ya guys! *Smirks*

Chan se jo toote koi sapna, jag soona soona lage..

*Second day*

Peekaboo– She’s wearing her favourite top! And, she always picks me up with it on.

Fairytale– Excuse me?

Peekaboo– Almost. Ehihihi

Fairytale– “Oh God, no! Do something, Peekaboo!”

Peekaboo– Do what? Looks in the other direction.

Fairytale- She..she chose ‘Blossom’ again. AGAIN!

Chan se jo toote koi sapna, jag soona soona lage..

This happens for at least three days out of the week for a month, two months..until finally after the fourth month..

Blossom– Bye guys! I’m leaving from here.

Fairytale and Peekaboo– You..you’re going? Feel like dancing.

Blossom– I’m just being shifted from here. My services are over and the girl has now gone to receive my twin.

Fairytale and Peekaboo both look at each other. Down the gutter it goes.

Peekaboo– I..I can’t take it anymore. Starts crying.

Fairytale– Oh God! Now, don’t cry. We’ve had enough. Cheer up, let’s get butterbeer.

Peekaboo– Beer..what?

Before she could make out what Fairytale said, she hears this:

* Evanesco*

 

With this, I hope I’ve also declared my love for L’Oreal Paris Tint Caresse Lipstick Peach Blossom quite well. I louuuuuu it! It feels sooooo light-weight! I think the reason why it got finished so fast is because I used it as a blush too. It works amazingly well! It doesn’t stay for long on my oily skin but then doing a touch-up using it is so easy! Have you tried it? Do you also think lipsticks speak? At least in your head..
