In addition to earlier posts about trying things on (like shoes and earrings), I noticed I have a lot of lip products ~ lip liners, lipsticks, lipglosses.
It's time to find out which ones I like, which ones look horrid... what to keep and what to toss.
I think, if I tried one lipstick and lipgloss per day, I'd have a hobby for a month. And if I wanted to try all of the possible combinations of lipstick and lipgloss I can probably go for close to a year.
(I'll ignore the half-dozen or so lip liners for now.)
And if history is my guide, I'll like five, love two, and buy another dozen to try different shades.

Final Lip Note
My company takes over the local amusement park for a picnic day once a year. I gave away most of my tickets, but I had offered to help out so I had to go anyway. I'm not a roller coaster fan, but I figured I'd take advantage of the food and drink and maybe run into a few people I know (I did).
Before I got to the park, I put on my lipstick and clear gloss. I put both in my pocket and went to the entrance.
They took your ticket then had you walk through a metal detector. I do not set off metal detectors. I can have a pocket full of change, my necklace, my bracelet, my car keys, and so on ~ it doesn't go off. It didn't go off. (Well, that waist cinch at the airport did it.)
But they wanded everyone anyway.
He got to my pocket and I said "car fob" and pulled out the fob. He checked again and beeeeeeep. I said "I think that's it." I thought, lip gloss is plastic. But then I remembered lipstick is in a metal tube! I was about to pull out the tube and he said "could it be the rivets in your jeans?" I was wearing jeans shorts (again, my wife would pronounce them "too short", and they were shorter than most guy's shorts, longer than most women's shorts) and I took the out, as long as he was offering. I said "I guess" instead of "I guess it's my lipstick" and he waved me in.
