But then I realized I'm actually way, way, way tired of lipgloss. I'm sick of it's glossiness, it's very celebrity slickness and I'm especially over how it gets stuck to my hair.
According to the article, you will be buying lipstick for three reasons:
1. It's a small indulgence, "an inexpensive treat meant to substitute for a bigger-ticket item."
2. It's a "morale booster like Charlie Chaplin films were during the depression"
3. Women wear lipstick, “to put forward an image that they are more alive and more vibrant, and not as down in the mouth. It’s part of the uniform of desirability and attractiveness."
Will you make the switch? To a 1940s red perhaps?
