Lips 2 Kiss

trimcat

Hi everyone. :smile:
I was looking for a lip plumper and came across this web site
http://www.lips2kiss.com
What I was wondering was does anyone else have experience with this system (good or bad)??
I'd really like to hear others opinions since it's a lot of money to pay if it doesn't work.
It also sounds like a lot of work - one part of the regime includes having to apply a cream to the lips every half hour!
Anyway I really hope someone can offer some opinions before I part with $80 since I am feeling extremely tempted. :bigsmile:

Oh, boy. This site is setting off all the alarm bells. The "science" behind this looks dubious at best; lots of claims but no clinical results to back it up. Just the usual assortment of testimonials and an ingredient list that's loaded with botanicals but nothing that would actually do what they claim the product does. They even resort to scare tactics -- "Lipstick is evil! It's giving you wrinkles!" But this is my favorite part:

We want all of you to have gorgeous, plump, smooth youthful lips. For this reason we have purposefully held down the price of our Cosmeceutical Lip System, so that it's affordable to all.

What a nice lady! Should you give her your $80? I wouldn't. I'd buy a good lip balm, a good lip exfoliant (there are many of both on the market) and a couple of lipsticks, glosses or plumpers, whichever you prefer and enjoy!

I'm sorry if this sounds harsh, but sites like this that prey on women's insecurities about aging really piss me off.

Thanks for the comments PurpleRules... I still haven't parted with my money and I highly doubt that I will now after reading your comments and recommendations. :bigsmile:

The ingredients did make me wonder especially since I couldn't find any specifics and some of their comments bugged me as well.... like applying hot air in the evenings!! Huh??

I think the thing that made me freak the most (apart from the price tag) was the statement that "at some point, it's very likely you are going to experience some peeling, as new cells are developing and the old ones are being pushed up and out through your lip surface." I know we all lose skin flakes every day but it was just the way they described it that gave me the creeps.. I was envisioning peeling like sunburn... not a good thought.

I also didn't like that they quoted several times that the answer to specific questions could be found in the FAQ section, but those links don't work. :confused:

Thanks for letting me know your thoughts.. it was great to hear someone else air the same ones that I was having.
I think I'll go and buy some cheapish lip balm instead :wink:

Do other people's lips not peel? Maybe this is super gross, my small amounts of skin peel off my lips every day; and yes, I guess it's kind of like the way I imagine sunburnt skin would peel off. Basically, there will be a little bit of skin sticking up and I'll pull on it and it will just peel off. I'm actually beginning to wonder if the skin peels off because my lips are constantly slathered in lip balm. Maybe that causes the skin not to flake off as it should and instead it comes off in peels. Hmm...

pas71: I'm not sure that it's the lip balm. I'm addicted to it myself and have been for years but my lips never peel. Actually, I was at a dermatologist a few weeks ago and he told me I had great lips and asked if I had "fillers". (Really? I never thought I had great lips but I'll take the compliment if he says so!) But your post caught my attention because I woke up this morning with peeling lips! I am recovering today from a really nasty case of the flu and am probably completely dehydrated so I'm guessing it's from that.

I do find that some toothpastes like Mentadent cause my lips to feel drier, though, so I try to rinse them really well with water. Anyone else have that problem from some brands of toothpaste?

You need to exfoliate your lips just like you need to exfoliate everything else. (Is it just me, or is exfoliating our answer to everything?) It make's a HUGE difference to how your lips look and feel with and without lipstick. I think the system that the website in the first post is just selling a very expensive system for exfoliating and moisterizing.

My lips peel like mad when I'm sick. It's just like sunburned skin -- it's gross but you can't stop picking at it.

My lips peel a lot like that pas, in the wintertime (I'm good the rest of the yr though) & when I get sick too. soooo gross. PR's right- exfoliate exfoliate exfoliate! If it's not too bad- just wetting my lips and rubbing w/ a wash cloth works for me (and either apply heavy duty lip balm or honey afterwards). If the peeling's really bad, I'll use some kind of actual face or lip scrub on my lips w/ the wash cloth.

Yeah, I usually exfoliate my lips whenever I use my exfoliating gloves. It works, but only for that day and possibly part of the next. My lips have peeled everyday since as long as I can remember. I literally do it every day. I always thought it was normal! It doesn't really matter to me; I just peel it off and then it's gone. Gross, yeah, but oh well. I guess if I cared a lot, I could exfoliate them every day, but it's not really that big of a deal to me.

Smashbox has a lip exfoliator...I was playing around with it a few weeks back. It is called Emulsion Lip Exfoliant. It is sugar based and peppermint. It seemed wo work, but I would imagine one would need to use it more than the one time.

My lips peel too...
