One of these days Tabs is going to walk downstairs and find a super sweet, 5-foot 1-inch-tall seedless watermelon sitting in my computer chair.
It’ll have skinny brown arms and hands with long fingers, and flat arches at the bottom of its high-heeled feet.
From behind it Tabs will ask, “Meow?” wondering what happened to his previous assistant, and the watermelon creature will slowly turn toward him in its chair and say, “Tabs, it’s me.”
SCARY!
I’ve eaten so much watermelon over the past month that I just might turn into one.
And if I do, where would that leave Tabs? How would he get his lurvies from a giant watermelon girl? It would be like an episode of The Twilight Zone — the old-school, black-and-white one with Rod Serling. Except with fruit. A cat. And makeup.
Of course, it makes total sense to extend this fruity fantasy into the realm of makeup, right? First, with MAC’s watermelon pink Impassioned lipstick, which we looked at earlier this month, and now with Elizabeth Arden’s Ceramide Ultra Lipstick in Watermelon ($22.50).
With its slick, thin texture and high-gloss finish, EA’s Watermelon reminds me of some of the other stick gloss lipsticks we’ve seen over the past few years.
The Ceramide Ultra Lipsticks are Elizabeth Arden’s recently-released new line of medium-to-full coverage plumping, moisturizing lippies. Available in 18 shades of red, coral, neutral, pink and plum across three finishes in cream, shimmer and pearl, they’re packed with hydrating ingredients that EA claims make lips look fuller and younger.
Do my lips look fuller and younger with it on? Maybe a little? Methinks any noticeable difference in plumpness might be due to a trick of light from the glare.
Good enough for me. 🙂
