Hard Candy’s Fortune Gloss

As a lip gloss connoisseur, I thought I’d seen it all, but then I came across Hard Candy’s Fortune Gloss ($6) and it was like I’d stumbled upon a fruity wand for the first time in my life.

Fortune Gloss comes in six tasty flavors — Kismet Cherry, Fortune Banana, Gypsy Pink Lemonade, Fate Blackberry, Destiny Peach, Lucky Mint — and glides on smoothly with a slightly tinted shine. Industry standard, right? But hold on a sec — the cap doubles as a magic 8 ball!

So as you’re applying the gloss, you ask a question (“Will I get into Harvard?” “Does my butt look good in these jeans?” “If a tree
falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it does it make a sound?”), and by the time you screw the cap back on, you will have your answer!

I asked my tube of Lucky Mint if I would have a Valentine this year, and it responded with a “♥.” We’ll see!
