BREAKING NEWS: Get me some lipstick

It’s official possums; the news we’ve all been dreading to hear. The Bank of Canada has officially announced that we are, in fact, in a recession. Thank you to all the financial tipsters for bringing this to light. God bless you.

Come the fuck on ya’ll, I’m confident most of us knew that already. However, one statistic that stands interesting during all of this corporate turmoil, is the fact that lipstick sales are up. That’s right folks, one key indicator that your economy is in the toilet is when women are buying lipstick in excess and the cosmetic companies are loving it. Thank goodness someone is enjoying the fruits of this fiscal meltdown.

The reason us gals are looking to lipstick is simply because many of us can’t afford the usual retail therapies, i.e. a hot new dress from Holt’s or a Cole Haan holiday clutch. Thus, to make us feel like we’re sporting something new, we turn to la bouche.

So ladies, here’s a few shades you might like to consider:
  • Welfare cheque cherry
  • I can’t pay my rent raspberry
  • Pucker up payday loan
  • Berry bad economy
  • Shortfall shimmer

...and my personal favorite...

  • Fiscally responsible red

Happy shopping girls! It’s off to the MAC store I go.
