“ Use It Alone “

Use it alone
for all skin tones
as an effortless glow
just sayin’ “snap and share
forget truth or dare
ya know ya gotta plan
for each and every area
like instant lash
plus plush back lash
and a wee bit o’ shadow”

choosing your own path matching
the same color as your hair
needing some swagger along with glam
as well as being smart and hilarious
claiming “One formula fits all!”
loving the super-powered formulas

like maximum hydrating impact
that’s miraculous yet wildly empathetic
and diplomatic where “strong” is “light as air”
as an effortlessly detangling collaboration

creamy textured wraps spinning follow-up albums
that are really attractive as a matter of fact
like hot chics on campus saving your sanity
totally at random, “ Ooooh yeah!”
it’s not loungewear when using travel fantasies
as advanced skin care in a whimsical mini-bag

confessing rather sheepishly while hesitantly
firing on vehicles bullets directed
to tires and radiators or simply fired for effect
carefully honed into dangerous weapons
being tempered by mercy and taking pity
becoming prohibitively expensive
needing to pay a hefty sum
for a cheap gun becoming untenable
resulting in mutual destruction...
