A lippie blast from the past

(Let’s try this emailing blogger post thing, shall we?) *(didn’t work the first time – everything I typed *after* the picture disappeared, and the previous parentheses were above the pic in the email….hmm).

I pulled out my traincase this morning, looking for a blush brush. (don’t even ask why I don’t have one in my brush holder on the counter-I have no answer.) Anyway, look what jumped out at me – my very well used/loved American Beauty lippie in Sweetart, a cool mauvey slighty shimmery lipcolor. I loved this and don’t really know how it got stored away. Apparently I had a particular way of putting it on, wouldn’t you say? I think I had gotten to the point of seeing how long I could keep putting it on until it broke off.

I don’t have a long memory with makeup, but I am certain this us the only lippie that I ever used this far down invthe tube. I like the scent and didn’t mind the taste. I know I picked it up over at Kohl’s, the exclusive carrier of the “American Beauty” line, and am now certain I’mma gonna have to go over there soon and get another one of these, as it has made its way back in my purse. I’ll let you know when it tips over.

    LOL! A friend had sent me a page about what your lipstick shape says about you. I think you can goggle it and find it. I’m fickle and never use one color long enough to create a shape — we won’t even talk about how many tubes are lurking in my dressing table drawer…

    Hahaha. I *just* posted about that. Come back and take a look. I am a “Reclining Chair”.
    I have never used anything else longer – this one just stuck around. :)

    Girl you are so funny….that is one distinct lipstick pattern…and I love that “personality matches the shape” deal…mine are always pretty dull and flat..boo-hoo.

    Aww, check it out:

    3. FLATTY Flatties are level headed and practical. Their shyness is commonly taken for aloofness. Known for being insecure worriers, Flatties make great friends because they are always the ones to be at your side when you need a friend, they always know how to say what you want to hear, and doing it well! Quite often, they possess hidden artistic talents too. In general, they are neat, have good memories, and know how to get a job done. Contrasting with this practicality and determination, they also have a romantic streak.

    See? Being a flatty is pretty darn cool, too. :)
