If a beauty or grooming product rules, you should be able to express its awesomeness in 17 syllables or less. Enter Beauty Product Haikus, my new View the Vibe poetry series about beauty products. Every Monday, I will muse on some of my favourite beauty products in exactly 17 syllables because, well, I have a Masters degree in English, and this makes me feel better about all that money the Canada Council threw at me. Thanks, Canadian education system! These are for you…
Beauty Product Haiku No. 1: Rimmel Exaggerate Waterproof Eye Definer in Deep Ocean
I broke my Dior
So I tried you just for fun
Who knew you ruled hard?
Beauty Product Haiku No. 2: LUSH Gorilla Perfume in Euphoria
Bewitch me, spices
What heaven do you come from?
Somewhere pixies live
Beauty Product Haiku No. 3: Philosophy Miracle Worker Retinoid Eye Repair Cream
Apply just to eyes?
No way! All over my face
Breakin’ moisture rules
Beauty Product Haiku No. 4: Lancome Baume in Love
A natural pink
For when I feign no makeup
My killer secret
Beauty Product Haiku No. 5: Dior Blush Cheek Creme in Pareo
Got you on my cheeks
But I dot you on my lips
To go full cherub
