C: Is for Cosmetics You Can't Live Without!

A couple of years ago I was given the best product. It was lip gloss that had a built in mirror and light. A friend of a friend invented it. Every time I used it I was envied by all who noticed. I got a lot of great dates from guys who were intrigued and it just helped break the ice. It was the perfect accessory. I stretched that gloss out until I was given a product from Model Co. Lip Lights Ultra Shine Lip Gloss. Lipstick is a pretty basic thing, but when it comes in various shapes and sizes, ready to use anytime, it is a girls best friend.
