In Case You're Having A Sugar Craving
I am a huge fan of lip gloss. Though I used to wear lip stick when I was younger, I find it looks a little "too much" these days. I wear very little make up at all, as MR strongly prefers me without it and not wearing it gives me an excuse to be a little lazier. So most days I just use a dab of eyeliner and some lip gloss, but I am quite the lip gloss freak.
Recently I was in the grocery store (surprise!) and decided it was time for a shiny new gloss. I especially like the kinds with little sparklies in them, so they shine almost excessively. I picked up Mabelline's Shiny-licious SPF 15 crushed candy flavor. It really tastes like crushed candy! And it's nicely shiny without being too sticky or gooey, which if you're a user of lip gloss, you know is a tough balance to strike.
I was thinking that it would be the perfect sugar free fix for those late afternoon sugar cravings. I don't get them much anymore now that I eat more fat early in the day, but the urge to eat a handfull of candy used to be very strong some days in the afternoon. Now I can just put on some lip gloss!

Piz Buin Sun Lipstick works wonders too, for those of us with a mid-afternoon chocolate addiction. Yummy!

At 63, I won't leave the house without lipstick & blusher! What determines whether it's "too much" is the colours you select, either too pale or too dark. (IMO, of course!)
