Fictionary: Self Blow-thing

Fictionary is a column showcasing beauty-related words that don't exist, but should.

Tell me I'm not alone with this one.

First of all, I love a lip stain. Lately, I don't like straight-up lip glosses or lipsticks. I ONLY like a balm-esque gloss or a stain/balm combo. I just need BALM in the equation. So when I apply my new fave bargain-priced double-duty beauty item, Revlon Colorstay Just Bitten Lip Stain + Balm ($9), I find myself blowing on my own lips in between my stain application and my balm slick. You know, to dry them thoroughly, quickly--so that the balm doesn't remove the stain. It's a move not unlike the one teenagers did-- blowing their bangs up in frustration in the '80s. I sort of do a blow up and one down, to get my bottom lip. I call it Self Blow-thing. It sounds like it means something dirtier than it does.

And tell me: Have you done this? Or am I cra? And stay tuned for next week's Fictionary entry.
