I knew I was in love when we danced together in our socks on the plaza of Lincoln Square in New York City. I thought, “Order the flowers and call the minister, I was ready to jump the broom.” Months later when it all came apart, I was shattered. When it comes to romance, I want what all single girls want, my very last first kiss. I want that cinematic moment, played up in romantic comedies, that I can look back on and say, “That’s when I knew.”
I started writing “The Break-Up Cookbook” two years ago because I loved hearing stories from women about how they met their significant others–even more than hearing the stories of relationships that were insignificant. Listening to their stories, I realized that there is no such thing as “one” romantic moment, only a series of smaller moments that can have an effect on your life. As I’ve gotten wiser, I’ve found the best part of dating isn’t finding “the one.” The best part of dating is finding out who you are because of people you let into your life. I’m still waiting for my last first kiss, but in the movie of my life I’ll never again confuse a bit player with my leading man. So until he shows up, I’ll be practicing my pucker and taking care of my lips with LIPSTOCK CREAM*. Like Cher said, “A girl can wait for the right man to come along, but in the meantime that still doesn’t mean she can’t have a wonderful time with all the wrong ones.” - Nicole Porter

LIPSTOCK CREAM provides a cream texture and a satin finish. For bare lips, create a soft, luminous effect by applying the cream lip conditioner over the entire lip area, slightly surpassing the contour of the natural lip shape. For color-lovers, apply once to prepare lips prior to shade application, then apply midday when refreshing existing lip color. As part of your morning and evening beauty rituals, apply as little or as often as desired to maintain healthy lip care.
