Luxury at its glossiness

One of my favorite things about winter is looking forward to spring! And it looks like it will be a good one! take a look at CHANEL LÈVRES SIGNÉES CHANEL Satin Lip Cream (Limited Edition) is absolutely stunning. Who wouldn't want to gloss their lips with the oh-so-iconic "c's"? I love the Glossimers (Peach Glow is the best!) and this looks just as good, even-dare I say it- better! The reds are rich, the pinks not too tart, the bronze sophisticated and the nudes stunning. I lingered at the Chanel counter wishing and-a-hoping for this, however at $60 (and being still umemployed) it will have to wait, until---spring.

Answer: Celebrity Lips

That's right! (to the one person who commented xxoo) Katie Holmes is the owner of these sad lips.
First off, get yourself some Abreva--that looks like a nasty crust of a cold sore. And maybe take sometime to smear some Aquaphor on your dry, dry lips. (I am not a big fan of Vaseline on lips, but Aquaphor is love.) Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus type 1. Once you have them, your stuck with them. For the record, I do not have them, thank god, I couldn't live with a crust on my lip. Do you think Tommy Girl gave them to his lady?

Lip Gloss = Skinny, No thanks!

Let's just file this under the pleasethisissostupid heading.
THINGloss. That's right, THIN GLOSS. As in skinny. As in America is fat and will do anything for hopes of losing half a pound. Express Effects Cosmetics saves the day with Thingloss, which for the record I have never used, a pal emailed me and thought I should write about it :)
Among the most ridiculous claims:
"Infused with vibrational healing energies to help uplift your spirits through the healing benefits of aromatherapy." Really!? I don't think that belongs on my lips. The gloss contains Hoodia, which is supposed to be an appetite suppressant, when ingested. I have a hard time believing that just putting it on your lips it would have the same effect. It comes in two colors a pink and a nude and one has the name of "whole wheat hottie." I am not kidding. The price for this hopeful concoction? $28.00! Yes, it will set you back $28.00 big ones.
I think I will pass.
