I am the world’s biggest lip gloss addict. I’m known to carry at least seven lip glosses on me at all times. Girlfriends actually travel without them when they know they’re going to see me because I will have every shade under the sun in my make up bag. Lately, though, I’m having a moment with lipstick. But it’s not the thick pasty lipstick of old. Modern lip color in bullet form is more like a lipstick and-gloss hybrid, providing durable color and a touch of shine.
