When I was 10, my best friend had a raging crush on my cousin. Who could blame her? He was charming, funny and utterly handsome. In an effort to win his affections, she dressed in her finest and had me photograph her holding a tube of lip gloss– an attempt to convince him she was a model, and therefore worth dating.
The gloss she held in that oh-so-convincing Poloroid was CoverGirl LipSlicks, the “go-to” gloss of every 5th grade girl in the know. Many years later (exact number of years omitted to protect the ancient) CoverGirl launches ShineBlast, immediately propelling my mind to those sweet girlhood memories.
ShineBlast will hit retailers in January 2010, in 16 girlish fruity-scented shades. This gloss is shiny to the extreme, sheer, and a welcome addition to my makeup bag.
