Is this sexy, or what?

Clinique has a new lipstick formula launching this month that’s moisturizing, long wearing, feather resistant and has SPF 15.

That’s like having a husband that fills your tank with gas when you’re not looking, brings home Jamoca Almond Fudge ice cream and thinks you’re the hottest thing to walk the face of the earth.
