A Fly in the Ointment

I know I quite recently wrote about how easy it is to dislike lipgloss. However, I have a few squeezes of the stuff left in a little tube I bought a while ago, and I do find it very difficult to throw out anything I have paid good money for, despite a high level of dislike. So, on a recent outing wearing Bobbi Brown Lip Tint (a lipgloss by any other name), I was reminded that gloss also has all the qualities of a good flypaper. It's unbearably sticky. The slightest breeze can encourage hair, random fluff, small passing insects, etc., onto your glistening lips, where they will stick fast as a cold caller until decisive and physical removal. Possibly useful as part of a jungle survival kit, though.
