I thoroughly, utterly, completely DESPISE lipgloss! Why do makeup companies
keep trying to sell it to me? I admit freely to loving makeup (I buy 'cruelty free' brands, no animal testing, etc.) and am a bit of a makeup junkie. But lipgloss to me serves no purpose other than to act as sticky flypaper. Yuk. Hair gets caught in it, gnats stick to it if you're unlucky enough to be wearing lipgloss outdoors, fuzz, lint, cat hair - you name it, it's attracted to lipgloss and will become affixed to your lips in no time.

And anyway, I always suspected this and my husband has confirmed it: it's gross to kiss someone with sticky, glossed lips.

Blech!

Who wants to look like they have a mild (or severe) drool condition? I just don't get it.

What say you? :shrug:

1. I do hate walking around with gnats and cat hair stuck to my lips.
But that shiny gloss is supposed to make one look sexy, I guess. Nothing sexy about lips covered in glue, bugs and fur, if you ask me.

3. It was cool in Jr High
I loved when the girls tasted like strawberry.

But I didn't think it was still used after high school at the latest.

But for the last 25 years I've been married and she is not a fan of me investigating the lip gloss situation in other women so I don't know what they're doing these days.
