<<except for perhaps the 2 or 3 days after the alert.>>
Your attention to detail always impresses me, starrsy!
I flew the day of the ban, and didn't even get to bring my blistex
However that changed pretty much right when starrsville said it did, and since you can bring lipstick and blistex, anything solid that comes in a tube.
As of yesterday, it looks like lip gloss,in small smounts mind you
is allowed again as well!
all over the world are doing a happy dance!
(p.s. Mopandmom, I didn't laugh! Lipcare is a serious matter.)

And while we're asking embarassing questions, what is "liquid mascara"? Is that the same as the tube with the wand - I don't wear it much, but it never seems like liquid to me. But what other kind would there be?

Great. Let's talk make-up! Aside from travel bans, what is the point of cake mascara that you have to mix with water...seems awfully inconvenient/messy when "regular" mascara is all set to go? What am I missing? Or is this one of those questions, that if you have to ask...you're never going to get it anyway?
I've got even more embarrassing questions than these.
Nah...another day maybe.

OO, wasn't cake mascara the original mascara? I think I remember my older sisters using it!!!??? Also, remember that drippy roll-on deodorant from way back .... you'd have to flap your underarms all about like a chicken to dry it before putting your top on? 
I know a couple of ladies who still use that!!!

The TSA in Ft. Lauderdale threw away my Chanel lip gloss after I had gotten through O'Hare, Dallas, Boston and NYC with it in recent weeks. I was complacent and figured if 4 airports didn't say anything about it, none would. Wrong. The TSA's are so hit or miss.
That has nothing to do w/ the original lipstick question, but I was in such pain losing that lip gloss. And the way the TSA threw it away right in front of me, she was taunting me. I just know it.

For you, OO (and I've just learned something, too! 
):
The word mascara derives from the Italian word maschera, which means "mask". Modern mascara was created in 1913 by a chemist named T. L. Williams for his sister, Mabel. This early mascara was made from coal dust mixed with Vaseline petroleum jelly. The product was a success with Mabel, and Williams began to sell his new product through the mail. His company Maybelline, a combination of his sister's name and Vaseline, eventually became a leading cosmetics company.
Mascara was available only in cake form, and was composed of colorants and carnauba wax. Users wet a brush and rubbed it over the cake, then applied it to the eyes. The modern tube and wand applicator did not appear until 1957, when it was introduced by Helena Rubinstein

Interesting history regarding mascara bonniebroad!!
BTW, when I first started using mascara it was the cake kind. Some of my girlfriends used their spit instead of tap water to wet the brush. My mother told me if she ever caught me doing that my mascara would be abolished (sort of like a TSA person, right?). I wouldn't have done that anyway, how disgusting :-<
