Not Quite Infallible

I love long lasting lipstick. You apply it once in the morning and go about your day never worrying about it wearing off or smudging and all you need to bring with you is chapstick. Totally awesome. One of my favorites is L'Oreal Infallible, which comes in a handy little zippo sized case that contains tha color and a moisturizing balm. For even more convenience, the shiny silver case doubles as a mirror for easy application anywhere. And now they have come out with Infallible lipgloss, which doesn't last as long as the lipstick, but does stay on and glossy for way longer than any other lipgloss. The lipgloss also has a built in mirror, however this is where they have made a grave mistake - they put the mirror on the lid. And as anyone who has ever used a wand type lipgloss before knows, when in use the lid becomes the handle. Making it less than useful as a mirror. Stupid. It would have been much better (and I think cooler looking too) if they had designed the packaging to have silver at the bottom and on the cap with just a small clear portion showing the color of the gloss. Then you could use the silver on teh bottom as a mirror and it wouldn't matter about the handle. As it is, all the mirror is useful for is checking how many mistakes you made while applying it blindly. Oh well, despite the stupid oversight of the package designers, I highly recommend these two products - the lipstick slighty more than the gloss.
