Today at work I purchased some lipstick. Not just any lipstick, the kind described as "long-lasting lip color" which comes in a little bottle with a wand that you dab onto your lips rather than a stick of wax. I was skeptical of its claim to last 16 hours, so I tried it on when I was home. I was pleased with the color when I looked in the mirror, and tested its durability by eating:

*Some rather greasy leftover chicken
*mashed potatos
*grapes
*fruit salad
*rice milk with a low-cal brownie thing

I returned to the mirror.

It wasn't even smudged.

I was delighted, and decided I should take a shower. I washed my face throughly under the hot water, and then I stepped out.

The lipstick was still on.

The soap had barely even removed it around the edges.

I grabbed some more soap and washed my mouth throughly.

Nothing.

I finally had to resort to taking a wet terrycloth towel and basically scrubbing my lips with the rough material until it finally came off, taking a good layer of skin along with it.

My lips now feel like they are on fire.

We women are foolish creatures indeed.

The only product I will be administering to my lips for a while will be Vaseline with aloe.
