I sort of have an obsession with finding the perfect lipgloss. And my problem with that, of course, is that I've already found the perfect lipgloss---or at least the perfect lipgloss for me---and while you think I might just be able to stop there and embrace this state of perfect lipgloss-ness, it turns out that I can't. I have to keep looking. I have to keep buying. I have to keep "just popping in" to Target and Sephora in the offchance that I might find something to best the perfect lipgloss. So far I haven't, of course. But I've come pretty darn close.

Have you ever gone through the summer issues of beauty/fashion magazines and noticed that for every photo of a sunkissed girl happily playing volleyball, there is a sidenote on how to protect skin from the harmful UVA/UVB rays of the hot, hot sun?Then have you ever noticed how editors like to divide these sections up by age brackets and then like to point out the aversion that most 20-somethings have to skin protection because they are invincible to the suns powerful rays and hot damn, a tan just looks good?
