BEAUTIFUL COFFEE CUP WOULD NEVER BE MARRED BY MESSY LIPSTICK.

My

I threw those in the trash, reminding myself that I wanted to be known for the quality and quantity of my work and not my lip color. Rather than go without lipstick, I continued to seek out a softer color. I felt washed out and pale with just my naked lips. No one would take me seriously if I didn’t look nice. So I found a color that seemed to strike the balance between a woman who is “too much” and a woman who is “not enough.” The neutral color complimented my skin tone, deepened my natural lip color, and helped me fit in.

The second quality I loved about my Perfect Lipstick was that it was long lasting. And by long, I mean all day. I swiped it on in the morning and took it off at night. Technically, the Perfect Lipstick was a lip stain. This meant I didn’t have to take time away from my work to primp in the mirror before a meeting I could focus on work while I was at work Less time for me meant more time for my clients.

The last quality about the Perfect Lipstick was the one that brought a satisfied smile. There was no trace of my lipstick on my coffee mug. I didn’t make a mark. My beautiful coffee cup would never be marred by messy lipstick. But this Perfect Lipstick revealed a huge issue. And I remember where I was in the aisle between rows of cubicles at work when that revelation hit me.
