All the tube-contained lip unguents I own. I use that tortured descriptor to exclude neither the necessary lip gloss, nor lipstick nor lip balms. Oh, and a pencil.
Here’s a game, with lots of hints.
- Guess which one I bought in an airport years ago to attend a New Year’s Eve get-together in Shanghai?
- Guess which I have worn only once, bought because I had convinced myself I needed more blue-toned makeup and keep now just in case I might some day wear a black dress and feel like fuchsia?
- Guess which I keep trying to like but it’s just too dang perky for me?
- Guess which ones cost $5 each?
- Guess which one is supposed to plump my lips and guess which one I don’t wear any more? They’re one and the same.
And you don’t have to guess what I’d choose if I could only keep that lip pencil, and one tube. It’d be that Burt’s Bees pomegranate lip dohicky, second from right. For running out of the house and applying in the car, on its lonesome. For fancy dinner, pencil under, pomegranate to finish.
P.S. I like the lip balm on the far right because the tube is fat and using it feels like I’m making out with a vanilla bean.
Let me know in the comments if you want quiz answers, I say with my tongue fully in my cheek, or links.
Now my friends, I will send you to a lipstick Zoom, with Brian of the makeup and skincare company By Brian. It’s actually called a Zoom Master Color Event for Lips and Cheeks, and our friend Sue from Une Femme will be there too. Not only is this an unsolicited link, they have no idea I’m posting it. Surprise!
The Zoom starts at 9:30am, Pacific Time, today Saturday, May 11. You’ll need to register, but that should be simple. Link is in this Instagram story:

A wonderful, happy and well-tinted weekend to all.
