1. I had no idea a clear lipstick could become MY perfect shade
The tube is completely clear when you open it. I thought it was a joke. Then I applied it and watched it transform into a soft, natural pink that seemed made just for me. Because it was. It reads your lips' pH. Every woman gets a different color.
2. Nobody told me my lips would be softer by the end of the day
I have very dry lips. Always have. After 50, it got worse. Every lipstick I tried made things worse — chapped by noon, peeling by dinner. This one has built-in Hyaluronic Acid. My lips were softer at 6pm than when I first applied it. I teared up a little.
3. Nobody warned me about the compliments
My husband stopped mid-sentence to tell me my lips looked amazing. He hadn't said anything about my lips in 30 years. Then strangers started asking what I was wearing. My daughter-in-law (who never compliments anything) asked for the link.
4. Who knew I could stop reapplying 5 times a day?
I used to carry lipstick in my bag, my car, my bathroom drawer. I'd check the mirror after every sip of coffee. With this one, I apply it in the morning and don't think about it again until bedtime. Coffee, lunch, dinner — still there. I don't even carry it with me anymore.
5. Why didn't anyone tell me I could buy one and get one FREE?
I bought mine at full price, like a fool. Two weeks later, they roll out a buy-one-get-one-free offer. If you're reading this now, don't make my mistake. Grab two while the offer's still on. One for you, one for your sister.
