Makeup junkie ka rin pala, sis. Should've gotten you some nung bakasyon ko.

My lips have become hypersensitive to lipstick since about the middle of last year though. The only things I can wear now are Lancome's Juicy Tubes (favorites are 17 Fraise and 94 Caramel Gospel as these are the most pigmented) and Guerlain's KissKiss gloss. If I try to wear lipstick, my lips get irritated and swollen.

Post ka ng pics ng collection mo

Yes, sis, I've been collecting cosmetics since I was 6 years old, thanks to my late mom letting me rummage through her collection. Although I don't always use the make-up in my stash -- to me they're much more like paint (and the face, a canvas).

Sometimes I'd just purchase a lipstick or eyeshadow just because I enjoy looking at the color, but not necessarily to use it. Am also not very particular with the brand. There are plenty of decent local lipcolor brands, though I draw the line at the cheap ones that come from China because of their possible lead and mercury content.

What happened to your lips that they became hypersensitive? Doesn't it greatly diminish your enjoyment of the whole lippy experience? And is there a treatment for it?

Sige sis, will post a pic or two of my collection soon.
