So one day, I go to dress up and realize something odd. I own tons of makeup, but only one lipstick. A pale pink that doesn’t show up at all. Boring. Mental note, buy a goshdarn color that POPS for fancy outings when I feel bold and stuff. So next time I go shopping, I find a color that looks cool and toss it in and don’t give it much thought.
Until next time I shop. I think “well, that color was still kinda conservative, I wouldn’t mind having something even bolder for really wild days” so in goes another.
And the next time.
By the time I am dressing up to go out again, I realize that I own 20,005 lipsticks. Four in the shade that I suddenly decided was my signature color. One is brown. One is black. One looks like the black one, but is actually bright red (and it is really annoying when those two get mixed up!). One is orange. One is the pale pink one. One is the same color as my skin. The rest are pretty much the same shade of bright, cherry red.
I DON’T EVEN LIKE WEARING LIPSTICK.
LIPSTICK is taking OVER
