lips

When I cracked open Lips for the first time, I had no idea what was about to happen to me. Honestly, I thought that it couldn't get any better than SingStar, and that this game probably wouldn't attract gobs of eager players like Rock Band does. . . but I was wrong. So wrong in fact, that after playing for a few hours with some of my pals, my friendly neighbor knocked on the door to see if she could get in on the action.

What makes Lips fun right out of the box isn't just the wireless LED lit mic (that makes you feel like a total rock star), or the fun gestures you make while singing to get extra points, but the selection of songs Lips comes packed with from the get-go. Offering up 40 tunes from Alicia Keys, and Peter Bjorn, to Nirvana and R.E.M., this game is a crowd pleaser.

Plus, did I mention the mics were wireless? You have no idea what kind of karaoke people are capable of until they are able to move effortlessly around a room. Trust me on this one.

But of course, with every plus comes a minus. Find out what I mean when you read more

If Brad Pitt's favorite lip scrub is out of your financial reach, don't worry — you can banish chapped lips for a lot less scratch.

All you'll need is a teaspoon of olive oil, a teaspoon of honey, two teaspoons of white granulated sugar, and a dash of lemon juice. Mix these ingredients together to make a sugary paste. Then use your finger or a toothbrush to gently sweep the mixture back and forth on your lips. The result: Softer, smoother lips for not a lot of money.

It was the clash of the Dianes on Good Morning America yesterday. Keaton dropped the F-bomb on live TV, which is never a good thing. She then gushed on and on about Sawyer's deliciously plump lips, only to let it be known that, had she some of them juicy lips, she would probably have a less developed personality. Pause. Pause. All eyes on Sawyer. . .

If you're anything like me, you love your lip products! In the past we've covered lots of great lip balms and many different lip scrubs, but here are a few more products new to the market that I know you won't want to miss. Not only are these items must haves for yourself, but at $15 or less, they also make fab stocking stuffers!

Karma Creatives Karma Therapy Buddha Balm ($3) is a lip balm that comes in a variety of fruit flavors (grapefruit, cherry vanilla, strawberry, and watermelon) packed in an adorable slender vintage slider. Not only does it contain natural sunscreen and keep your lips feeling silky smooth in the harsh winter months, but at just .3 ounces it's an easy fit into any clutch or small pocket. Who could resist keeping a little good karma close by? Since the products aren't sold online, you can click here to find a stockist closest to you.

Ramy Beauty Therapy just launched a lip treatment called Lip Oil ($18). These deep lip conditioners are made with almond oil, jojoba oil and collagen-enhanced marine spheres to create plump, juicy, nourished and hydrated lips.

I just love this concept. Instead of using an ordinary lip balm to coat the lips, these oils absorb quickly and penetrate deeply into the lowers layers of skin to smooth out dryness and cracks in the surface and prevent further chapping.

They are available in three different flavors; mint extract, orange oil and rose milk to make the experience even more delicious. My only question is, won't the oil run all over your mouth?

The directions say to apply with your fingertip or directly from the dropper and blend, so maybe it's not quite as runny as I think. Overall, this newbie sounds pretty exciting — I'm not sure how long I can resist a flavored, deeply nourishing lip plumper. If anyone tries it, please report back with a comment or a private message.
