I guess if the skin on my face gets wrinkly due to lack of sunscreen I will notice that more, but sun damaged lips can be awfully uncomfortable, so it is something I really should consider.<br /><br /Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-50210208720245014782022-01-08T12:39:38.131+00:002022-01-08T12:39:38.131+00:00Undina,

And thank you for your offer! :)Undinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292100499371921334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-46379803695240557402022-01-07T05:13:17.314+00:002022-01-07T05:13:17.314+00:00I can relate to the lipstick effect.

The lipstick effect is more to perfume, in which I caved, and bought CDG Kyoto, from the incense range, to accompany the Avignon. Both are very soothing for this turbulent time.<br /><br />Please send my regard to Truffles.<br /><br />JoyceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-65177071195320982172022-01-06T11:46:55.583+00:002022-01-06T11:46:55.583+00:00Hi Undina,

Interesting that we...Hi Undina,<br /><br />I killed the bot!<br /><br />Interesting that we are flattening our Burberrys at a similar rate, hehe, and I take on board your advice to find another "high end love" to pursue next time. I actually have the same issue brewing on a Lip Balm from Revlon called Creme Brulee that Katie Puckrik got me onto - it nicely tones down any lipsticks that are too red on me to Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-86681396649733212002022-01-06T09:33:21.784+00:002022-01-06T09:33:21.784+00:00Vanessa, you should kill that bot above!

I was just enjoying it during my holidays staycation. <br /><br />I just recently threw away my flattened Burberry lipstick. The brand has disappeared from all stores around that previously carried it, so I don’t know when/if I find another one to wear. <br /><br />I went crazy with Undinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05292100499371921334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-17935467390923385912022-01-05T23:47:53.077+00:002022-01-05T23:47:53.077+00:00Hi AnnieA,

That L'Oreal range of Les Nus had passed me by, but I love the shape of the bullets and think I'd be Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-39933600623004479742022-01-05T22:14:33.783+00:002022-01-05T22:14:33.783+00:00Goodness me, this is striking home.

Drugstores were often the only place open aside from the grocery store, and during my serious drugstore shopping also getting something frivolouswas a real comfort.

Ooh, I love the thought of your turning to cashmere loungewear - I think Undina may have blazed that trail before you if my memory serves me. You can't beat ultra soft fabrics. ;)<br /><br />I know what you mean about liquid lipsticks with gloss having their moment - I was deeply attached to an Estee Lauder one and bought it on repeatVanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847145282522572183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-63352422449616623412021-12-30T21:53:48.377+00:002021-12-30T21:53:48.377+00:00Hi V.

A new luxury lippie can give you a real lift. <br /><br />Unfortunately I've turned to cashmere loungewesr which I laughed at this time last year. (Albeit from H&M with 20% off).<br /><br />Pleased you got your Burberry original for a reasonable price. I remember searching for Mac Tarahttp://www.abottledrose.comnoreply@blogger.com
