What We're Sweet On: A Lip Balm For Ski Bunnies

Lip balm may be the most-used beauty product during the Winter months, as dry, chapped, peeling, flaky (and even bleeding) lips are a trademark of the season.

Lip balm may be the most-used beauty product during the Winter months, as dry, chapped, peeling, flaky (and even bleeding) lips are a trademark of the season. Enter Rodial Glam Balm Lip ($25), which will protect your mouth from whipping winds, plummeting temperatures, and then some. You might ask, though, why you would spend extra money on this particular lip product when others can be easily procured at the local grocery store for practically pennies.

Usually it requires multiple, strategically placed products to keep lips supple (one at work, one in every handbag, another on the vanity). But the creamy consistency of this glam balm will break your dependence on other greasy sticks and pots. Rose wax and shea butter gets under the cracks for a smoothed-out appearance, and vitamin E provides long-lasting moisture. Plus, the high-shine finish eliminates the need for gloss. Ski bunnies and slope enthusiasts everywhere will rejoice.

A couple of weeks ago, I received a press release about a forthcoming product called Boob Job. Made by Rodial, the $175 gel promises to increase the cup size of breasts with daily application. A study says Boob Job can provide up to an 8.4% increase in breast volume in 56 days. It claims to do so by blocking fat into the area where the gel has been applied, leading to a gradual increase in size.

I tend to believe that short of surgical procedures, there's nothing you can do to resign from the I.B.T.C. (Pregnancy excepted, of course.) When you're petite, you're petite. And while I'd like to say that I believe in a gel's ability to boost up the girls, my inner skeptic needed to take a closer look at these claims. Could a gel really boost me up to a bigger bra size?
