Whatever Wednesday: I Have a Twin...

OK, so not really...did I fool anyone? So here is the deal. I got this "Sally Hansen PM Lip Plumper" as part of a gift for Christmas(from my sister Stacy.) As soon as I got over the initial reaction of laughing at the fact that such a thing even existed, I decided to actually try it out and make a little experiment out of it. HAHA! I used it at least once a day(as recommended) sometimes three or four times a day for a week. I tried to make the pictures as similar as possible but was trying not to laugh in the second one so my lips are slightly parted. Just a side note...I wasn't wearing any lipstick or anything of the sort in either. In case you can't read the words the first picture is the "before" picture and the second one is the "after."

Here is what it says on the back of the product...

PM Lip Plumper

Wake up to fuller, plumper, shapelier lips

*Collagen enhancing Peptide complex delivers full plumping benefits as you sleep.
*Micro sponges help trap moisture in lips, making lips look plumper, fuller and more voluptuous.
Special Ingredients:
24hr Time Released Retinol boosts moisture and smoothes the lip's surface night & day.

So what do you think? Personally I don't see much of a difference, may be just a little. However I'm a little weirded out by my pictures. I think I look like a different person in each of them...almost like I could have a twin. Granted in the second picture I have some highlights and I didn't blow dry my hair so it is a bit fuller and messier. I also think my face looks thinner in the first one? The pictures were only taken a week apart Weird!

On a more successful note, I'm way excited because after a lot of hard work I am finally seeing results with my workouts(so shouldn't my face look thinner in the "after" picture?) Last week I dropped 1.5% body fat which as a result my weight dropped as well. YAY! I will find those abs that are hiding in there eventually!
