A while back we reported a story about how a fragrance can make it look like you’ve lost weight. Well, Omega Tech Labs has introduced a lip gloss called Promise that is supposed to have weight loss benefits.
Appetite suppressant in lip gloss
According to the company, the lip gloss contains a blend of botanical oils (castor oil,
coconut oil and evening primrose oil) that work as appetite suppressants. Experts say that these ingredients can work but they don’t believe you will get enough exposure from the lip gloss to make much difference.
Smells can help you slim
While this Beauty Brain is highly skeptical, there is some science backing up the product concept. Researchers at the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation have done studies showing that odors can actually help people lose weight. If Promise lip gloss contains appetite suppressant oils and odors that help curb your appetite, it might have an effect.
Could be too tasty
On the other hand, the flavor could actually stimulate your appetite and have the opposite effect! Since the company offers no clinical study, we can’t know for sure whether it works.
But it’s probably worth a try. It will certainly be a good lip gloss and if it has the added benefit of helping you lose weight without taking another spinning class, how cool is that? Incidentally, if you were thinking of trying the Pink Patch for weight loss, don’t bother.

Well I would wonder if it just smells so bad you dont want to eat….kinda like being tempted with a krispy creme while changing a diaper….I seriously doubt lipgloss will be the end to obesity in the USA but I guess if your already on your way this couldnt hurt.
Great points and most people will agree.
