Did you want rice and beans with that?

There is a woman named Melissa D'Arabian who has a cooking show on which she demonstrates how to make meals for four people that cost $10 or less.  Except that she seems to be overly fond of zucchini, her recipe ideas are not bad.

What is bad is her lipstick, which is actually lip gloss.  It's not the color, which is usually muted and pinkish; it's the wet shine on them that bothers me.  This woman is doing a cooking show, here and there tasting as she goes along, and it looks for all the world like her lips are wet from chicken grease or zucchini juice, or whatever she's just put into her mouth, maybe even just plain spit.  It is not an appetizing look for a cook.

I would have thought shiny lips were more appropriate for evening (especially a date with somebody you hope will kiss you on the mouth), but not for daytime wear.  I tried to look online for information about this by Googling "shiny lip gloss."  I never found anything like an intelligent discussion about making your lips look wet -- the first three pages were all about specific products -- so I gave up.  What was really intriguing, however, was this item that Google returned:

Here you go, Melissa -- forget all that expensive makeup and just get yourself a can of Old El Paso Enchilada Sauce instead.
