What defining moment transforms a girl into a woman?
I would argue: The day you switch from gloss to stick.
I am twenty four years old and just purchased my first tube of lipstick. Yes, my mom has encouraged me to wear color on my lips for years now but I’ve always been a gloss girl. I think I was afraid colorful lips were too much of a contrast with my pale skin. It wasn’t until I saw a few other fair skinned beauties pull this look off, that I worked up enough courage to step up to the MAC counter and let the cute pony tailed man do his thing. I decided to jump on the hot pink bandwagon and went with the color: Show Orchid. Honestly, I couldn't be happier with this purchase and I truly feel more grown up.
Perhaps a real woman? I now carry lipstick in my purse!!

=) I completely know what you mean. I'm nearly 22 and I still haven't delved into the realm of lipsticks yet. One day! (fingers crossed)
I love you for this post. It's so true. It seems like the true sophisticates wear lipstick, and the "children" still wear lipgloss. By the way, I'm still a child - I have about twelve tubes of lipgloss in my handbag right now! Congratulations for crossing over to womanhood, my love!! :)
hehey we're the same age and believe it or not last september was the first time I purchased a coloured lipstick. I always wear the nude ones! And same as u i jumped on the brightest pink from MAC!!! also got a coral colour as well!

I love that color! It's the perfect color for you!
how interesting! this makes me wonder when was the time I purchased my first lipstick in my early 20s - and yes, there is a sense of being a bit more grown up about it (even though I rarely use it these days, I've regressed to lipgloss!)
The lipstick is a great new look! I seem to never go out without glossed colored lips.. guess this means I'm a grown woman :)
