Not that good

"Can you do it"?

She asked and instinctively, I turned around to look at my surroundings. I could see so many eyes just looking at me and to be honest, I was getting a bit scared.

'What if I fail? What if I can't do a good job? What if I make a fool of myself?'

So many questions ran through my head. I was still thinking about how I'd overcome this when I suddenly felt someone's hand on my shoulder.

I turned around, just to see Grandpa O'Brien smiling gently at me.

"I know you can do it".

He said. I wasn't sure as to why he was trying to encourage me. But one thing was for sure, what he did definitely helped me.

I went towards the compartment where they make lipsticks and picked out the oil, pigment, fragrance, and wax I'd need to make my lipstick.

For the oil, I decided to use lanolin and jojoba. Then for my fragrance, I wanted it to have a subtle scent that was still quite obvious so I went for lavender.
