Thanks, Strix. A couple of those look like flat tubes, but it's hard to tell. The palettes, I've never used, do you have to use a lip brush? I don't think that would work, being as convenience is the main thing here. I'd lose the little brush.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Most palettes have little brushes. Are you looking for something to fit in a pocket or in a tiny purse?
Tiny purse, or big wallet. That's why it needs to be flat. IME, lipsticks/lipbalms in pockets melt.
I wish my intestines would recover. Sigh.
I'm sorry it's been so rough, Ginger.
Zen, I keep looking but all the palettes I see have brushes, and the small lippies are too big for a small purse. Maybe a lip pencil and tiny tube of balm/gloss?
I will keep looking!
Ginger, I'm sorry your intestines are giving you grief! I wish calmness for your gut, tout de suite.
Zen, your best bet would probably be one of the velvet matte lip pencils by NARS. [link]
My wallet can hold a Burt's Bees balm at the very bottom and I can put a lip pencil (Wet & Wild #666, the pencil of the beast) in too. The tube has to be the very bottom though. And it's admittedly tight.
I am sorry you are in still in distress, Ginger. That is just sucktastic.

Oooh, could I match MAC's Del Rio with that, I wonder. Because that is my OTLipColor. Apart from the pencil of the beast.
if I become aware of child abuse
The language I have seen, both in Minnesota and in Arizona, is "reason to suspect" abuse. They should spend a significant portion of the class going over various signs of abuse.
