Almay Lip Gloss

It's no secret that Livy has been loving her lipsticks and lip glosses lately. She likes to sneak in my bathroom and put on my Bare Minerals lip glosses... all over the region below her nose. Then I have to watch her because what ever she puts her face against (couch, pillows, recliner, clothes, etc.) will be stained with lip gloss! So I've been trying to limit the amount of lip gloss I let her wear.

This afternoon, we were watching Full House when a commercial for Almay's new Liquid Lip Balm came on. It showed about a million different shades of pinks and reds and I could tell Livy was in a trance. Then Kate Hudson said, "You gotta try it!" Livy immediately looks at me and said,
"See Mom? She said I GOTTA try it! Because it feels so good on my yips!"

All I could do was laugh! The toy commercials may have no affect on her, but make-up commercials?? She's all over it!

Yipsticks

Olivia has developed a new love... Yipstick!

Saturday morning I had gotten Livy dressed because we were going shopping in Texarkana. When she was ready she said,

"I'm gonna put my yipsticks on so I'll yook yike a yady!"

I was in my bathroom getting my makeup on and fixing my hair when she came in and said,

"Mom, do you want some of my yipsticks?"

"No, that's ok. I have some. But thank you."

"Well I'm gonna go get em just in case."

"Ok baby."

"No, call me yady."

"Oh, ok yady."

It started out with the princess chap sticks and lip glosses that she got for her birthday, but she has quickly graduated to Mom's real hot pink lipstick. The lip glosses were fine because they just made her lips (and the surrounding mouth area) really shiny. But the hot pink lipstick is more like lip stain!

I'm not a lipstick lover. I have one nude color that I wear occasionally... Like maybe to church or on dates with my super handsome husband! But really, I don't even like to wear it then. My hair gets stuck to it, it clumps up, and no one likes to kiss in lipstick! Yuck! The other lipstick I have is the hot pink one and the only reason I have it is because I wore it at Halloween once. 

Sunday afternoon I was trying to work on some art projects, Drew had just gotten home from playing an all weekend softball tournament and he was napping, so Livy was pretty much on her own. She asked me if she could play in my makeup and I said sure. Normally she only plays with my makeup brushes so I didn't think much about it. 

When it was time for me to leave for choir practice, I went in our room to get dressed and discovered this...

I told Drew just to use her wipes to clean it off before he brought her to church. 

Six o'clock rolled around, we started singing hymns, and they still weren't there. I started getting a little worried... Then they slid in the pew beside me. I took one look at Livy and almost laughed out loud!!! She still had the smeared lipstick all over her mouth! Drew said he tried to clean it, but it wouldn't come off! So she came to church looking like a clown. She slept during the entire service across mine and Drew's laps, and I would giggle every time I looked down at her. 

What a precious angel... With hot pink lips!

Daddy and Yipstick

Last night, we put Livy to bed around 9:15 and Drew and I were going to curl up in bed and finish the shark show we were watching. When we got to our bedroom, he remembered he needed to go shut the garage. Not long after he left, I heard Livy holler from her bedroom...

"Daddy!"

"Daddy's not in here."

"Where'd he go?"

"He just had to go do something real quick."

"Well I need my daddy!"

"What for?"

"I need some yipstick!"

"No you don't. You're supposed to be going to bed.

"But I need my daddy to get me some yipstick for my yips!"

Thankfully she fell asleep by the time Drew came back to bed, so she never got her yipstick.
