It’s sunny! It’s warm! The crocuses, cyclamens, hellebores, and
camellias are in full bloom after a ridiculous cold spell that slowed them
down. The purple crocuses have reproduced so much that there are huge purple
patches in the garden. The jasmine survived the winter. The fruit trees have
huge buds and the birds are going crazy. It must be spring cleaning time.
This week my cleaning will consist of another 100 g of
miscellaneous perfume samples, plus a mint condition 28-color lipstick palette.
If you like lipstick and don’t mind applying it with your finger or a brush,
this should be fun to play with. It’s an extra because I ordered one and they
sent me two (maybe it was a buy-one-get-one free deal) – it was a while ago so
I don’t recall how I ended up with a duplicate.
This week’s question to answer if you want to be entered in
the drawing is one or more of the following: Do you (or someone you know well)
like to wear lipstick or other form of lip color? If so, how long does it
typically stay on? Have you/they found one that lasts a decent amount of time?
