Money Can’t Buy Happiness… But Have You Tried Buying New Lip Gloss?

They love to say “money doesn’t buy happiness.”
Okay. Cool. Deep. Inspiring.

But explain why you can be two seconds away from texting your ex, quitting your job, or fighting invisible enemies… and then you buy a new lip gloss, and suddenly life feels manageable again?

Be honest.

You walk into the store “just looking.” Next thing you know, you’re holding a fresh tube like it’s destiny. You twist it open. That clean wand comes out untouched. You swipe it on. Boom. Instant personality upgrade.

Your problems? Still there.
But now your lips are glossy enough to reflect negativity back to sender.

And let’s talk about the confidence shift. Because why do you apply one layer and immediately start moving like you own shares in the building? You speak softer but deadlier. You smile differently. You start declining nonsense politely.

That’s not delusion. That’s lip gloss therapy.

Money might not buy lifelong happiness.
But it definitely buys:

• That juicy, high shine finish
• The “who does she think she is?” effect
• A five-minute mood reset
• ⁠Emergency main character energy

Sometimes happiness is not a luxury vacation. Sometimes it’s you in your room, applying gloss and feeling like your life has background music.

So yes, technically, money cannot buy happiness.

But when you swipe on that new lip gloss and suddenly feel unstoppable?

Be serious.
