It might not change YOUR lip game, but it changed mine
And some more miscellaneous recommendations from moi
A lip game-changer (my game, if not yours, but like… probably yours), a revelation about LED masks, an unexpected periorial dermatitis helper and some TV and podcast brilliance for you to sink your teeth into. Let’s go!
I have a question for you – have YOU been the victim of aggressive advertising from Wonderskin’s eerie blue peel-off lip stain? If so, you could be entitled to compensation.*
I was SICK to the eye teeth of seeing ads like the below for Wonderskin’s Lip Stain. I don’t know what about my Instagram scrolling habits led Wonderskin to think I was their ideal candidate to be fed relentless ads, but do you know what? The marketing offensive fully worked on me. Weeks after seeing the first ad, I caved and bought the lip stain.
It arrived and GO TOBANN, I had blue, shiny, almost phosphorescent lips.
The guide said to leave it for 30-60 seconds, but because I’m at this whole ‘guide time’ thing a while (hello, years of Veet not working, eyebrow dye not working etc) I left it for 90 seconds and then flaked it off with a face cloth that was going in the wash anyway.
I was careful with my application, particularly around the edges, because again, from experience, I know that getting something called a ‘stain’ wrong can be disastrous. I layered it on my full lip until the blue sheen was total, until there was no visible pinkness left on my lips.
And as I flaked, I realised.
