Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hey everyone- I was recently on vacation, and my niece (whose mother is an estetician specializing in botox and the like) had this lip gloss with her called Stung. It is supposed to naturally plump your lips. Well, I stupidly put it on, without looking at ingredients. First it tingled, then it BURNED! it felt like there were 1000 tiny needles in my lips. I was dying. Sure enough, mylips did plump, but the pain was bad! I learned all sorts of variations of this stuff are sold all over! I must be out of the loop. The ingredients were avacado oil, cassia, cinnamon, ginger, wintergreen and clove, with some other stuff. Isn't it a bad idea to use that stuff repeatedly? Not to mention the pain they go to for FULL lips? What are your thoughts on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s ridiculous what people do to look “good.” -- Version: 7.1.405 / Virus Database: 268.12.1/440 - Release 9/6/2006 -- Version: 7.1.405 / Virus Database: 268.12.1/440 - Release 9/6/2006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told her that if I needed that much pain in my life, I would have been born during the Inquisition... That being said. Anytime you use a sensitizer like Cassia oil it will cause a burn. Try clove oil and it will numb your lips. The reason being is Cassia is a rubifacient and a vasodilator meaning it brings blood to the surface, if the lip gloss is of no color you will probably notice that your lips become a bit more red when you use it. Anytime you use a sensitizer too much you can cause adverse reactions.. (you can actually make yourself allergic) Just ask some of the people on this list that have been up to their elbows in lavender, and the reactions they have. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 These products work by irritating your skin. The cinnamon and clove are literally burning your lips. The wintergreen on the other hand is sometimes used as a topical anaesthetic. Personally, I don't see the appeal of fat, irritated lips. Maybe they appear more " kissable " , but if the stuff burns you, it's going to burn whoever you kiss too. Also, you are ingesting the stuff too.

Ya know, I figure we didn’t actually get kicked out of the garden. We just decided that we could improve it. Look around.
