Far from eating Gilbert Grape...

Recent jaunt to pharmacy, and decision to buy much needed lipsyl, since current tube is down to a stubby little end. I am a Labello Hydro Care girl (this product falls into the 'sophisticated care' category according to the site, confirming a high-maintenance I am trying to deny. I will argue that I hardly consider 1.29$ sophisticated care...), but the shiny pale blue cover is nowhere in sight... So, I fall for the typical marketing ploy, and decide to let my lips take the bright 'NEW FLAVOUR!' called Grape for a test drive, telling myself that I would at least get in some good licking.
Wrong. This 'flavour', in no way, shape, or form, tastes like grape, raisin, or anything remotely purple (like Barney or Grimace). It instead tastes like a potpourri (literally) of roses and petunias (eww, roses), or as bf so elegantly puts it: "It tastes like a unicorn's ass". And I must admit, he is right.

UPDATE: I just wrote a complaint to Labello International (never do I do this) and anticipate I will either get a sucky 'thank you for your feedback on our new product, your opinion is valuable to us' email, or a year's supply of Hydro Care. Fat chance...

and unless your bf loves the unicorn's ass tase, you`ll be a lonely little petunia in an onion patch (*melody in my head*). and I wonder- do they make labello onion? maybe cheese and onion?

(my dentist hurt me today, and the pills he gave me make me feel all dizzy, you know)
