Huguenot, Given that you are a man of such humble prudence, I hope you find the compassion in your heart to excuse the yellow/blue obsessed lipstick lovers as such glamorous contraptions can leave a lasting effect on some thus causing a degree of irrepressible perturbance in the victims. Addictive as it seems, certain hedonistic pleasures come at a bitter price, I may add. For the record, fashion designers loose their importance when they deflect their attention on this kind of trivia and I refuse to pay ?45 for a lipstick that bears nothing but a mere brand name. Mac & Bobby all the way!
