Lipbalm and Me

lipbalm and i go back a long way :) it started when i was just 10 years old, and using that pink-tinted lipbalm made me feel a little bit more grownup. then there was that first ski trip to Mt Buller in 2001, where i had to hide my tube of lipbalm in my sock cos my dad kept taking it and using it on my brothers (urghghghg). and 2 years ago when Martian and i weren’t officially going out yet, i’d accidentally left my watermelon lipbalm in his HK apartment, and he playfully accused me of purposely leaving it there so that he would always have to think of me. and then there’s now - that same watermelon lipbalm is still with Martian, but i am not, because he’s there and i am here.

i also had my first kiss with lipbalm on! i was 14, and it was the kiss that got me my first boyfriend :D i had on the apple-flavoured LipIce that i used to wear all the time, and that kiss just went on for HOURS. best first kiss ever, and the fact that it was apple-flavoured kisses made it a lot more special and exciting. (sieutheng, thank you for leaving us when you did :P otherwise this kiss would never have happened… hahaha)

that was a long time ago, but even till now i’ve still got a real penchant for lipbalm. LipIce, for obvious reasons, is my favourite brand and just about the only one i ever use.

so, a little bit of pimpage for my favourite brand :) LipIce has this Color Lipbalm range that I currently use and really like. it is a range of tinted lipbalm that moisturizes your lips and dresses them up with light colour at the same. there are 6 different colours, and my favorite is without a doubt the one called Candy Apple. i love the hue of it – it’s such a natural and healthy shade of pink!

tinted lipbalm is great for girls like me who don’t like the fuss of lipstick. gimme light and sheer colour over lipstick stains any day :) it’s great for lazy and fuss-free days too, because it brightens up my face on its own so nicely even without any make-up!

haha the above is me bored at the airport and applying lipbalm over and over again. lipbalm = travel necessity!!! i have naturally dry skin and lips, so i always have to have lipbalm with me to keep my lips soft and yummy. regular use of LipIce has given my lips mucho health and conditioning over the years. no more chapped lips! sexier, softer kisses!

for the lip gloss fans, LipIce also has 3 kinds of lip gloss out in the market. i used to buy all this really expensive lip gloss, but with LipIce Color Gloss, i don’t have to hurt my pocket so much :D going for RM 13.90 a tube, it is but a fraction of the cost of those expensive lip glosses. can save money!!! yet still have gorgeously glossy lips!!! i know a make-up artist who actually uses tubes of LipIce gloss on his clients because he says it’s good quality yet so much more affordable. such a clever man :P i shall steal your secret.

i now always have an emergency tube of lip gloss with me. the Summer Pink one has the nicest color! i’m also quite addicted to the taste of it. it’s damn nice and tastes like watermelon, yum yum.

speaking of watermelon lipbalm… okay lah actually it IS true that i left my watermelon lipbalm at Martian’s on purpose so that he would always have to think of me ;) sigh sometimes my boyfriend is so good at seeing through me. but don’t tell him I said that because he can get so smug.
