Here's Your Basket of Kisses
Apparently lipstick sales tend to increase during times of recession. Known as the Leading Lipstick Indicator, the drop in confidence about the future is thought to sub-consciously drive the investment in 'cheaper' lifestyle items. It's a strange statistic, but when I look at the place that lipstick has come to have in my make up bag I start to understand how it's justified. When I wear lipstick, I feel abnormally va-va-voom with a whole let less product. The shock of colour from my preferred matte shade is both classic and stylish, and I tend to feel elegant as well as mischievous with it on. Despite lipstick becoming less of a staple in a lady's make-up routine, it unexpectedly makes me feel well-groomed and adds a dimension of glamour that my curly hair always seems to prevent, no matter how much time I devote to getting ready. I feel like I can be a version of me that is not always part of my personal attitude or the way I naturally present myself. Even though I'm constantly in somewhat of a financial cul-de-sace, I can understand what drives women to seek out that tube of waxy perfection. How it makes you feel, the ease that it comes by, that's something that money really can't buy.
