“Lipstik”
Nina June Borromeo, Nerissa Galicia, Noemi Gonzaga at Ysm Leano

Tumunog ang kampana sa kanilang paaralan, hudyat na magsisimula na ang kanilang klase. Naguusap ang magkaibigang Michael at Jackson nang bumukas ang pinto at pumasok ang kanilang guro kasunod ang isang babae. Sa kabila ng misteryosong awra na taglay niya ay nakakabibighani ang ganda nito. Ang kutis nito ay tila gatas sa puti at kasing kinis ng seda. Alerto ngunit maamo ang mga mata niya, katamtaman lang ang tangos ng ilong at may kulay makopang labi at pisngi.
Tumigil ang babae at tumingin sa kanyang kapiligiran. Napadpad ang kanyang mga mata sa makatawag pansing mga lalaki na nakatitig sa kanya. Ang isa ay animo’y walang pakialam sa mundo, lalaking lalaki ang hugis ng mukha, may matapang ngunit nangungusap na mga mata, matangos ang ilong at mapulang labi. Katabi niya naman ang isang binata na kapansinpansin ang matingkad na ngiti sa mala-rosas nitong labi, may nakakatunaw na titig, kasing tangos rin ang ilong nang una niyang nakita ngunit sa binatang ito ay makakaramdam ka ng gaan ng damdamin at kasiyahan. At makikita mo ring ang dalawa ang nagmula sa liping mahal. Napansin niya ang bakanteng upuan sa tabi ng magkaibigan. Tahimik siyang lumakad patungo sa silya at umupo. Natapos ang klase nang hindi man lang narinig ng magkaibigan ang tinig ng dalaga. Laking gulat nila ng biglang nagsalita ito.
“Maari bang magtanong?” mahinhin ngunit malinaw na sabi ng babae “Saan ko matatagpuan ang Canteen?”
Ngumiti si Jackson at siya’y sinagot “Patungo rin nama kami doon, gusto mo bang sumabay? Ako nga pala si Jackson at siya naman si Michael.” Turo nito sa matalik na kaibigan.
Halata sa dalaga na nagdadalawang-isip ito ngunit sa huli at tumango rin.
“Sige. Ako nga pala si Nami” ani nito at ngumiti.
Dito nagsimula ang magandang samahan at pagkakaibigan ng tatlo.
Lumipas ang panahon at lumalim pa lalo ang kanilang samahan kasabay ng unti unting pagkahulog ang loob nina Michael at Jackson kay Nami. Ngunit kay Jackson umibig si Nami dahil sa masiyahin at masiglang personalidad nito.
“Ang sarap naman nito, Nami, tikman mo” sabi ni Jackson at nilapit sa bibig niya ang hawak niyang pagkain.
“Talaga? sige pahingi nga.” Sagot ni Nami
Sa inis ni Michael sa kanyang nakikita ay hinablot niya ang pagkain sa pagkakahawak ni Jackson at kinain ito.
Nabigla ang dalawa sa ginawa ni Michael ngunit tumawa lang ang mga ito..
“Huwag ka nang magselos, Pare, susubuan din naman kita eh.” Panunukso ni Jackson.
“Alam mo bagay kayong dalawa.” Gatong ni Nami sa biro ni Jackson.
Bumusangot ang mukha ni Michael sa kanyang narinig na ikinatuwa ng dalawa.
-------------------------------------------------

Nagkwekwentuhan ang tatlo bago ang simula ng kanilang klase nang maalala ni Jackson ang nabalitaan.
“Narinig niyo ba ang balita?”tanong nito kay Nami at Michael. Tumingin lang sakanya ng hindi-namin-alam-ang-sinasabi-mo ang dalawa.
“Isa raw sa ating kamag-aral ang namatay kagabi lang. Isang taon lamang ang tanda nito sa atin.”dinig ang awa sa boses ni Jackson sa kanyang paliwanag.
Hindi man malapit sa kanila ang estudyanteng namatay ay nakaramdam pa rin ng awa at panghihinayang ang magkakaibigan dahil kilala ito sa kanyang kahusayan at kabaitan.
Isang lingo pa lamang ang lumipas ay nalaman nilang isang kamag-aral nanaman ang namatay. Hindi nila mapigilan ang mabahala dahil sa sunod-sunod na pagkamatay.
Nagdala ito ng katanungan sa kanilang isipan. Pano nangyari iyon? Sino ang salarin? Konektado kaya ang pagkamatay ng dalawang kamag-aral?
Dahil naging parte sila ng Student Council at dahil na rin sa kanilang kuryusidad ay kanilang napagdesisyonang magimbestiga sa tulong ng mga koneksyon ng kanilang mga pamilya.
Tuwing pagkatapos ng klase nangangalap sila ng impormasyon tungkol sa mga namatay.
-------------------------------------------------
At sinimulang siyasatin ang mga ugnayan ng mga trahedyang ito.
Hinihintay nina Jackson at Michael si Nami na sumaglit sa palikuran.
“Pare, puwede bang puntahan mo na si Nami? Magkita nalang tayo sa labas ng eskwelahan. May nakalimutan kasi akong gamit sa silid-aralin.”nagmamadaling pakiusap ni Jackson.
Tumango lang ang binate at naglakad na patungo sa palikuran. Akmang kakatok na ito sa pinto nang bigla itong bumukas at lumabas ang nagmamadaling si Nami. Sa lakas ng kanilang pagkabangga ay natumba sila. Nagulat sila nang mapansin ang posisyon nila. Nasa ilalim si Michael habang yakap si Nami na nakapaibabaw sakanya.
Agad namang tumayo ang dalaga. “Pasensya na! Hindi ko naman kasi inasahang nasa labas ka pala.” Tumawa ito ng mahina at sinimulang pulutin ang mga gamit niyang nagkalat sa sahig.
“Hindi mo kailangan humingi ng tawad. Wala ka namang kasalanan.” Mahinang sagot ng binata.
Tumulong siya sa pagpulot ng mga natitirang gamit. Namula ang mukha nito nang ang lipstik ng dalaga ang nakuha.
Tanawa naman ulit si Nami at kinuha ang lipstik niya. “Hindi naman mababawasan ang pagkalalaki mo kung makahawak ka ng gamit ng babae, Michael.”pangaasar nito.

Hindi pa sila lubos na nalilinawan ay may panibago nanamang biktima. Nagtulong-tulong sila na mas pag-aralan at siyasatin pa lalo dahil sa pagaalalang baka may sumunod nanaman sa pagkamatay ng tatlo.

Nakatitig ang tatlo sa kanilang mga nakalapa nang biglang tumayo si Michael sa pagkakaupo at kinuha at pinagtabi-tabi ang mga litrato ng tatlong estudyante. Lumapit naman si Nami at tinutulong si Michael sa pagayos ng mga litrato. May kinuha si Michael na tatlong litrato, isa sa bawat biktima at inihanay ito.
“Nami, Jackson. Hindi natin ito napansin noong una dahil hindi ito masyadong mahahalata sa litrato.”sabi nito at tinuro sa litrato ang pisngi ng mga biktima.
“Lipstik!”sambit ni Nami.
“Tama,”ani ni Michael, “Lahat sila ay may marka ng lipstik sa kaliwang parte ng kanilang pisngi.”
“Base sa tagal at sa kulay nito. Batid kong mamahalin ang gamit niya. Maybelline o Ever Bilena iyan”sabi ni Nami habang tinitignan ang marka.
“Hindi lang si Michael ang may natuklasan,”singit naman ni Jackson, “Oras ng pagkamatay. Unang biktima, 7:19. Pangalawa, 8:05. At ang pangatlo, 7:45. Lahat puro gabi.”
Unti-unti nilang napagdugtong-dugtong ang pagkakamatay ng tatlo matapos nilang mapansin ang mga pagkakapareho sa mga ito.

Katatapos lang ng klase ng tatlo at papunta na sila sa lugar kung saan nila isinasagawa ang kanilang imbestigasyon.
“Bakit hindi muna tayo magpahinga?”biglang tanong ni Jackson, “magiisang buwan na tayong walang ginawa kung hindi ang tumingin sa larawan ng mga namatay, sa resulta ng otopsiya nila, oras ng pagkamatay at iba pang nakakapagnindig balahibong mga bagay.”
“Huwag mo nang idahilan ang gawain natin” malamig na sagot ni Michael, “alam naman nating lahat na gusto mo lang na makapagisa kayo ni Nami.”
Napangiti naman si Nami sa narinig at nilapitan si Michael.
“Kung ganoon nga? Papayagan mo ba kami?”malambing na tanong nito sa kanya.
Matagal na rin naman itinatago ni Michael ang nararamdaman niya para sa dalaga at naisip nitong hindi na rin nito kailangan malaman. Para naman sa kanya, basta’t masaya ang minamahal ay sapat na ito.
Kunwari ay wala itong paki-alam at nagkibit balikat lang. “Kayo ang bahala. Uuwi nalang ako at magpapahinga.”
Isang oras bago ang kanilang takdang pagkikita pagkatapos ng klase, biglang sumakit ang ulo ni Nami at nagsimulang makakita ng mga imahe at mga pangyayari. Naalala niya na lahat ng mga lalaking namatay ay sinimulang maningalang pugad sa kanya at niyaya siyang lumabas. Sunod niyang naalala ay ang pagsama niya sa kanila. Nanindig ang kaniyang balahibo sa kanyang nalaman at lalo pa siyang kinilabutan nang maalala niya ang parte niya sa pagkamatay ng mga ito.
“Hindi ito totoo, hindi ko sila pinatay” pagkumbinsi ng dalaga sa sarili “ isa lamang itong masamang panaginip.”
Humahagulgol ang dalaga nang tumunog ang kanyang telepono. Kinuha niya ang kaniyang telepono at nakita ang mensahe ni Jackson sa kanya.
[Handa ka na ba? Papunta na ako.]
Kinabahan ang dalaga sa kanyang nabasa. Kung totoo nga ang kanyang naalala ay siguradong mapapahamak si Jackson. Sa kabila ng kanyang magulong pagiisip at naghihimutok na puso, ay napagdesisyunan niyang sabihin ang totoo kay Jackson.
Tumawag siya ngunit bago pa man niya masabi ang mensahe sa binata ay tila nawala na siya sa sarili.
Nangangarwahe ang lalamunan ni Michael sa hindi malamang dahilan. Dahil ba ito sa selos o higit pa dito? Ilang minuto siyang nagmuni-muni at napagpasyahan niyang sundan ang dalawa.
Nakita niyang palabas ang dalawa galing sa isang restawrant. Dahil sa hindi maintindihang dahilan ay may masamang kutob si Michael sa pagkikita ng dalawa. Lalo pa siyang kinabahan ng makitang pumasok ang dalawa sa isang abandonadong parke.
Dali-dali niyang hinabol ang dalawa. Pagkadating niya ay nakita niyang aatakihin ni Nami si Jackson gamit ang isang kutsilyo. Tila bala ng baril niyang pinigilan si Nami. Hindi naging madali ang tunggalian sa pagitan ng dalawa dahil malakas ang pagpalag ni Nami. Mabilis ang mga pangyayari at hindi inaasahang nasaksak ni Michael si Nami. Sinusubukan nilang dalhin si Nami sa ospital upang masalba ang buhay nito ngunit pantay na ang paa nito bago pa man ito magamot.
Balik tanaw…
“Pare, puwede bang puntahan mo na si Nami? Magkita nalang tayo sa labas ng eskwelahan. May nakalimutan kasi akong gamit sa silid-aralin.”nagmamadaling pakiusap ni Jackson.
Tumango lang ang binate at naglakad na patungo sa palikuran. Akmang kakatok na ito sa pinto nang bigla itong bumukas at lumabas ang nagmamadaling si Nami. Sa lakas ng kanilang pagkabangga ay natumba sila. Nagulat sila nang mapansin ang posisyon nila. Nasa ilalim si Michael habang yakap si Nami na nakapaibabaw sakanya.

Naalala niya ang tatak ng lipstik na napulot nito.
Ever Bilena.
Bakit hindi pumasok sa isip ko iyon?

Mac Analysis

...The lipstick effect is the theory that when facing an economic crisis consumers will be more willing to buy less costly luxury goods.[1] Instead of buying expensive fur coats, for example, people will buy expensive lipstick.[2] It has been rumored that lipstick sales doubled after the 9/11 attacks on the USA,[citation needed] however, other sources[who?] say this is an overstatement. In a New York Times article published May 1, 2008, Leonard Lauder is quoted as saying that he noted his company's sales of lipstick rose after the terrorist attacks.[3] He did not claim they doubled. The underlying assumption is that consumers will buy luxury goods even if there is a crisis. When consumer trust in the economy is dwindling, consumers will buy goods that have less impact on their available funds. Outside the cosmetics market, consumers could be tempted by expensive beer or smaller, less costly gadgets. Juliet Shor in her book The Over Spent American talks to consumer's purchase of higher-priced, more prestigious lipsticks, specifically Chanel, that are used in public, vs. lower-priced, less prestigious brands that are used in privacy of the bathroom. More recently, however, a more nuanced view of the effect has come to light, rooting it in a pre-historic urge to preserve the species. The Economist tested the lipstick effect in 2009 with statistical analysis. "Not everyone is convinced," said the newspaper. "Reliable historical figures on lipstick sales are hard to find,...

Cosmetics

...they remove their masks. Despite the positive effect that makeup has on beauty, restraining from using cosmetics can help college girls attain a more successful college life. Media always has a huge effect on the way people think. In many fashion magazines, TV shows or advertisements, we can see most women wear makeup such as mascara, lipsticks, eye shadow, eye liners, and foundation. They tell us how they feel confident under the cosmetic condition. Eventually, they affect people’s perception of female’s beauty—if women want to show their attractiveness, they must wear makeup. Many college girls like fashion. Through the media, the images of those beautiful women plant an inaccurate message in college girls’ minds: cosmetics can make them as attractive as those models. Therefore, they intimate that women wear makeup in order to fit into the society’s ideal of beauty. However, many college girls put their lives at a risk while gaining this artificial beauty from wearing makeup. Many cosmetics are made of toxic chemicals that can cause some serious diseases such as breast cancer. According to the Breast Cancer Fund, cosmetic containers, lipsticks,...

Bibliography CONCEPT CONSUMER BUYING BEHAVIOUR: What influences consumers to purchase products or services? The consumer buying process is a complex matter as many internal and external factors have an impact on the buying decisions of the consumer. When purchasing a product there are several processes, which consumers go through  This model is important for anyone making marketing decisions. It forces the marketer to consider the whole buying process rather than just the purchase decision (when it may be too late for a business to influence the choice!) The model implies that customers pass through all stages in every purchase. However, in more routine purchases, customers often skip or reverse some of the stages. For example, a person buying a favourite hamburger would recognise the need (hunger) and go right to the purchase decision, skipping information search and evaluation. However, the model is very useful when it comes to understanding any purchase that requires some thought and deliberation. The buying process starts with need recognition. At this stage, the buyer recognises a problem or need (e...

An Assessment of Consumer Behavior Toward Hydrating Matte Lipstick of Nature Essentials

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Most of people are striving to live a healthier lifestyle.  Whether that means eating healthy food, exercising, and buying organic or natural products. People want to feel like they are doing their best they can to take care of themselves and the people they love. In recent years, the beauty industry has joined the wellness trend by selling products with terms like "organic," "natural" and even "chemical-free". The question is, what do these terms really mean? According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), a product to be labeled as "natural," it must contain no artificial ingredients or added color, and must be only minimally processed. In addition, USDA defined minimal processing as a food product that was processed in a way that does not fundamentally alter the product. Furthermore, they also defined a product to be labeled "organic," products that have not been treated with synthetic pesticides or fertilizers, and animals raised organically are not given hormones or drugs to promote more rapid growth. Also, genetically modified organisms are not used on any organic farms. For lighter definition, "natural" ingredients are derived, in whole or in part, from natural sources with no synthetic compounds while "organic" ingredients are supposed to contain only plant-sourced ingredients that are cultivated without the use of synthetic chemicals, irradiation, or pesticides (PAULA’S CHOICE SKIN CARE). As time goes by some industries use these...

Maybe Its Maybelline and Almay

...Make up, distributed by many different companies with a lot of brands, is advertised an extreme amount of times in different areas like a store's wall, magazine ads, and the most popular television commercials. Drugstore make up seems to be the most advertised on television, and the two most advertised make up brand is Maybelline New York and Almay. Both of which are very popular and favorite brands of consumers, come up with so many different types of products for each feature of the women's face. Both brands also come up with really good and distinct commercials to promote their products, and though each distribution is a competitor, they are equally popular and sell. While Almay successfully advertises their products by using descriptive words, a simple background, and a tranquil, mood; Maybelline also successfully promotes their products by using different objects to symbolize their description, creating such edgy and fierce scenery for the set of the commercials. Currently, all of the commercials for Almay have the same actress to promote the makeup which is Kate Hudson. She is the voice behind the commercial and uses descriptive words to portray the makeup, which not only draws the consumer’s attention to give into the makeup, but also makes the product sound that it is a promising good quality. A cover up made to appeal to the beauties who don’t get enough beauty sleep, is advertised with its name, Almay Wake-up Make-Up. Hudson describes this cover up to have “hydrating...
