I made lipstick of fragrant eucalyptus oil, it smelled so very heavenly, like a breath of fresh air for hungry lips. Constantly I enjoyed the fragrant minty smell, dabbed it on my nose, shmoozed it on my pillow to help me with a flowery sleep. Yet never once did I try it on any human lips.

Living in a jungle filled with koala bears, I had no one else to test my products.

So, I made a lovely batch of eucalyptus lipstick, and tried it once on a koala's lips. She loved the taste, the fragrant tingle filled her with joy.

Koala spread the word, and soon they were all lined up to whet their lips on lipsticks made of fragrant eucalyptus leaves and oils.

Next came the greater glider possums, the common wombat, and the ringtail possum. They came in great numbers, pursing their lips and asking for a taste of the new brand of lipstick.

Needless to say, after the first trials, my product sold out like hot cakes and in great numbers.

Lipstick'ed koalas, possums and wombats filled the Australian jungles, they were a beauty to behold.

But that's ok, I too am a koala.

So my product can safely be called EUCALIPSTIC!
