\"\"<\/a>For those of you not addicted to social media platforms, you may not know that there is a complete calendar of Hashtag Holidays. Occasionally, it promotes a specific cause or event but more often it\u2019s just creative way to highlight something fun. For example, yesterday was<\/p>\n

#NationalLipstickDay. And, I for one, am I big fan of lipstick.<\/p>\n

Ladies, be honest. If you took an inventory right now, including (but not limited to) your purse, make-up organizer, car console, gym bag, desk, kitchen junk drawer, etc, how many lipsticks would you say you have?<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s my breakdown:<\/p>\n

Purse 11<\/p>\n

Make-up Organizer 7<\/p>\n

Car Console 4<\/p>\n

Gym Bag 2<\/p>\n

Desk 2<\/p>\n

Kitchen Junk Drawer 3<\/p>\n

GRAND TOTAL = 29 TUBES OF LIPSTICK<\/b><\/p>\n

Jeesh. That seems excessive.<\/p>\n

Now, some of them are lip-glosses <\/i>which, in my defense, could be categorized separately since they are not technically \u201clipstick\u201d. (My husband is rolling his eyes at my argument).<\/p>\n

What can I say? I have very few vices. Buying lipstick is a rather innocent addiction. It is instant gratification (unless you get the wrong shade) for a relatively little price. And, it goes without saying that the season dictates the hue. Therefore, a variety of colors are necessary to stay au courant.<\/p>\n

The problem with that rationale is, when I line up all of my purchases, I realize that I don\u2019t stray too far from my good ol\u2019 fall back: \u201cpinkish nude\u201d.<\/p>\n

If, like me, you are always on the search for a natural look with just a touch of blush and a glimmer of shine, the ladies at Houppette (101 W. State Street, Kennett Square) can help. Defining the lip with a pencil and sealing with a complimentary gloss can be the key to achieving a flawless finish.<\/p>\n

When you find just the right one, document it with a selfie and save it for #NationalLipstickDay 2018.<\/p>\n

Happy Weekend!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
