some dreams live on in time forever
those dreams,you want with all your heart
and i will do whatever it takes
follow through with the promise i made
put it all on the line
what i hoped for at last would be mine
if i could reach,higher
just for one moment touch the sky
from that one moment in my life
i am gonna be stronger
know that i have tried my very best
i would put my spirit to the test
if i could reach
some days are meant to be remembered
those days we rise above the stars
so i will go the distance this time
seeing more the higher i climb
that the more i believe
all the more that this dream would be mine

Taking some time off and trying not to think about anything too serious.
So I’ve decided to talk about lip balm. Gloss is included here. Some of us love the tint :)
Yes,you read correctly.
A whole entry on lip balm? What’s there to say about lip balm you may ask.
Ahhhh,are you even living in this century? Or have you simply chosen to underrate possibly one of the best stuff around?
After all,it’s the tiny tube of basic essential that we carry around in our purses these days. It’s no longer just something that you bring along to cold countries to prevent chapped lips or a SPF provider against the sun. Not only women use it these days, some men swear by it as well. They should anyway.
Small as it may seem,don’t underestimate its great power.
At least all the decent cosmetic lines aren’t. They are now spinning money out of this wonderful lip care product. Kiehl’s an example. Everyone has heard of their lip balm which is supposedly really good. But think it comes with a very attractive price tag of course. Has anyone tried it yet? Hmmm…
Some lip balm tins are so pretty too. Look at Anna Sui’s. The vintage and feminine tins are so lovely! You see,it’s really possible to go a bit barmy over lip balm.
Even VS wants a share of the pie. They have lip gloss in their Secret Garden Collection now too. Amazing. Lingerie and gloss seems sexy together. You gotta have kissable lips right? Geraldine told me she like the champagne lip balm from TopShop. We fell over laughing at the idea of getting drunk on lip balm. Sis gave me a Lancome Juicy Tubes Pop and got one for herself too. It looks almost too nice to be used though, awwww….
Yup,while we are spoilt for choice,think I’m more of a pharmacy gal when it comes to lip balm. Even when I’m overseas I like to visit their pharmacies. I love to check out what they have on their shelves. Currently using a Nivea’s line of lip gloss that I got from Japan, can’t find it locally yet. Hope they bring it in soon.
Just the other day, Huiling and Alice were complaining of dry and rough lips. Quite a common problem. Neurogena has got three new products here. One of them is the overnight deep conditioner balm. Gotta recommend it here a little cuz I think it’s really quite good. It’s vanilla flavoured and performs its magic while you are sleeping. Especially if you’re sleeping in an air-conditioned room, it helps that you don’t wake up with dry lips.
Okay,there should be more important things to do than crapping about lip gloss here. But well,if you can’t even take a closer look at the small things in life,why bother with the big ones?
So if you are reading this entry, share about your fave lip balm! :)
