My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
I’m sure several of my female readers have seen or heard of a cosmetic product called a Lip Plumper.
For those of you who may have no idea what the I’m talking about…
…a lip plumper is a lip treatment product that you apply to your lips before you put on a lipstick, which gives the appearance of FULLER lips. The effect usually lasts a few hours, where upon you must reapply more to keep up the appearance.
There are many different brands on the market, all promising to give you a sexy, fuller pout.
And it does this, by using several special ingredients.
(which you will hear about at the end of this story)
Years ago when lip plumper’s first came out; being the psychotically curious person that I am, I wanted to see if it really worked. So one day while I was on the job, I asked a young lady behind one of the cosmetic counters if she would put some of the product on a Q-tip, so I could apply it to my own lips.
(I took the Q-tip and smeared it all over my mouth)
Well…in about 30 seconds my lips started to tingle.
Then in another 30 seconds my lips not only tingled, but they also began to feel warm.
From warm…they went to hot.
From hot…they went to ELECTRICUTION.
I called the girl over and said, “Excuse me…but is this suppose to feel like this?”
She said: “Do your lips feel slightly warm and tingly?”
I said: “Slightly WARM and TINGLY??? No…how about more like a dancing campfire”
She said: “Really?”
Me: “Yea…REALLY”
She: “Oh…you must be overly sensitive.”
Me: “What the hell is IN this stuff?”
She: “Cayenne pepper and Cinnamon.”
Me: “CAYENNE PEPPER and CINNAMON???”
She: “Yes, that’s what makes your lips plump. It causes a slight irritation…so they swell.”
(I looked in the mirror)
Me: “Yea, well…my lips are definitely IRRITATED.”
As I grabbed a tissue off the counter and proceeded to remove the SHIT-CRAP from my lips, I said…
“So I guess the next time I want a fuller pout, all I really need to do is rub a little Tabasco Sauce and a Cinnamon stick on my lips and I can get the same effect, right?”
Have a "Lip-plumping" weekend, everyone!
