A few weeks ago, I got an email that made me sit up as straight as a poker. A lip gloss that promises a sexy pout AND skinny hips? You’re joking, right?

But no, there is genius in madness. Purple Lab, the creators behind Lip-Shtick: Huge Lips, Skinny Hips have infused your standard lip gloss with Hoodia, a natural appetite suppressant. The lipgloss has Vitamin b3 that helps your pout get that Angelina Jolie effect.

The result is a lip plumping gloss that helps you curb hunger while looking as glossy as a Vogue edition.

I am scheduled to attend the launch party of this product in a few weeks, and will keep you posted if it works. Needless to say, I’m as restless as a cat on a hot tin roof to try it. Visit www.purplelabnyc.com for more information.
