Ignorance is Bliss (a stick of bliss in fact)

When we were in Japan, I bought a stick of lipstick from a drugstore for 500 Yen, or roughly 5 US Dollars. It is the best stick of lipstick I've ever used - lightweight, long-lasting, fragrance-free, and flattering. Since then I've worn it down to a little nub, and I'm trying to conserve it as long as possible or until I return to Japan.

I suspect it's made of baby whales or endangered monkey placenta, but I don't want to know.
