Sharing is Caring

So I thought I’d share a new find with you. While shoe shopping recently I noticed a Burt’s Bees display of tinted lip balm. The salesgirl gushed about it and I’m all about a good lip balm so I bought one. It’s teeny so it fits right in your pocket. The color is good and it tingles when you put it on. It’s the perfect compromise between lip gloss and lip stick. I can’t stand a gunky lip stick, but some glosses just don’t have staying power. This doesn’t shine like a gloss, but if you aren’t in a position to reapply, this lip shimmer will stick around for a good while.

Speaking of sharing and caring and cosmetics…the other day was cocktail day with my ladies. This time it was at let’s call her Shirley’s house. Shirley is a professional make up artist and also runs a major cosmetics counter at a large department store. She shared with us that she actually met a woman who named her child Clinique. Please people, just because it sounds pretty doesn’t mean it’s a good idea. I know we have weird pet names, but that’s where we stop. I mean, Cicada and Febreeze sound nice, but not for people.

    I bought one of those Burt’s Bees about two weeks ago and it’s a good everyday kind of stain for your lips! I find it’s a little more than a tingle! I chose Raisin, how about you?

    I have a story that’s worse. When my mom was in nursing school she had a rotation in labor and delivery. Someone mentioned the placenta during delivery. Bad idea. The mother thought it was such a beautiful word that she named her daughter Placenta Mae. Poor kid.

    Those look great! I love tinted lip balm.

    As for crazy names, at the schools I’ve been to I’ve seen a Quesadilla, quite a few Messiahs, a Unique, a Lexus, and a Jihad (Rodriguez).

    Whatever happened to Baby Jane?

    This is really crazy, but I just read in the New York Post (yeah, its the People Magazine of journalism, so consider the source), that some Burt’s Bees products have been linked to cancer. They also said that about Mustela (that yummy perfume you put on babies). This just proves that everything gives you cancer.
