Hey guys! I hope you all had a fruitful holiday. Here's a little something to tide you over 'til my next post. Don't be shy, I know you all just cannot stand it when I go off the grid on weekends, being that I only promised a MWF posting schedule, teehee.
For the sake of simplicity, I'm going to call this my Cute Lip Gloss Collection even though three of them are balms. Deal with it. Here's a family pic of the gang with their paper clip friend (a.k.a. Word Helper) for scale:

Unexpectedly, the cupcakes smell and taste like sweetened grease. I don't know if my description is spot-on but if it's not sweetened grease, then it's approximately waxy vomit. It's undoubtedly sweet but the kind of sweet that is on the complete opposite side of edible. It's so bizarre, words have failed me. I pray there will be some sort of scratch 'n sniff advances on the internet SO THAT YOU MAY KNOW. Try as I might, I've sworn off using them for the fear that constant presence of such YUCK anywhere near my mouth will turn me into an unwilling bulimic.
All this has kinda scared me off the Bubble Gum Ice Cream since I bought them all from one place. Its one redeeming quality is that it comes off more food-like to my olfactory senses.

I have not tried the Hershey's yet and I kinda don't want to. It doesn't really smell all that delicious and the cupcakes have scarred me for life. They're sort of in the same vein of WRONG. I can tell by the smell (HA! I rhymed :>)

The super tiny Marie Dalgar gloss, I thought, would be great to carry for evening formals when so many other things take up space in my depressingly tiny evening purses. Even so, I still haven't had the chance to use it and I kinda wanna keep it that way. Now I wish I bought at least two so I'll have one I can use and one to stare at forever :( Disclaimer: Please don't try to find Marie Dalgar. That is not a real brand, I just picked it up from a tiangge (flea market) in Hong Kong.
I mostly bought these things just for the cute containers. I'd love to see other people's collections, if any of y'all even collect silly, miniature and useless lip glosses :P
