lip gloss story...
OK, I'm tellin on myself, but this was just too funny...
This morning, I happen to find myself in my daughter's bathroom, looking for my eyeliner pencil sharpner--you know how u'r stuff somehow manages to 'migrate' it's way to u'r teenage daughter's space...(ahem).
So anyhow, I was rooting around in her cabinet and I happen to come across this tube of shiny, light pink lip gloss.
"Hmmm...that's a pretty color," I said to myself. Marshmallow Whip.
So, I apply the gloss, smack my lips together a couple times and walk out, thinkin I'm looking all cute. 
About twenty minutes later, I'm downstairs making coffee when I get this SEARING sensation on my lips. (OK...maybe it was just burning, not searing...but something was, uh, definitely amiss.)
Putting two and two together (...'cause I'm smart like that, even at 6:30 in the morning...yuk, yuk) I'm thinking, "What in the world???? Am I having an allergic reaction to something in the lip gloss?? Is there SUGAR in there or something???" Then..."Does lip gloss go bad???" (like was it in her cabinet for months???)
So, I hurriedly wipe the stuff off before it burns anymore. I had this vision of me walking into work with these red, splotchy, swollen lips. I run upstairs and grab the tube (because, see, while I may borrow it--I leave the supply where I found it!) 
Anyhow, I read the ingredients--nothing. Just the vendor name.
Oh, wait. There WAS something under the 'Marshmallow Whip'. Tiny little words....warming lip gloss.
WARMING lip gloss?? What the heck is THAT??? lol I've never heard of such a thing... And I guess the bigger question is..."Why would my daughter need hot lips???"
After the shortcake incident, I'm ever more careful with asking about ingredients...and steering away from those that don't list anything. But I never thought I'd have to carry my eating regiment over to make-up!! 
Another lesson learned...stay outta u'r daughter's make-up or u'll get u'r lips burned.

Cute Karen. AKA: " Hot Lips" You should have realized you opened yourself up to a new nickname. That will teach you to borrow from a teenager. Why would anyone want to have their lips hot anyway????
I have a similar story, my step son-in-law was visiting last year. He used my tanning bed, and also used the accelerator cream I bought. The accelerator cream makes your whole body red and on fire. He thought he was having an allergic reaction, came flying upstairs and jumped in the shower. Water makes it worse. He was so upset. The burning sensation wears off in about an hour. He was jumping all over the place. Wasn't too funny to him, but Linda( step-daughter) was cracking up. I guess now I'm a step-monster, I mean mother- in- law.
