Hi, everyone! I hope I'm not overstepping my boundaries as a newbie here. I have come across a product that I believe is a complete rip-off, and I wanted to warn you all to proceed with caution if your considering buying it.
The product is called Lips2Kiss, and it claims to be a lip rejuvenation program. You purchase a starter kit for $80.00, and use it twice an hour every day and at night. That's more than 32 times a day if you sleep 8 hours each night. It claims to make your lips plump and deeply hydrated while restoring them to a nice pink color. You must use this product for the rest of your life to retain these so-called results, although after your lips are fully rejuvenated, you are allowed to use regular lipstick occasionally.
The manufacturer boasts of scientific research and testing, yet she provides no evidence that either of these have been done. She does not have an ingredients list either on her site or in the product packaging, and she also refuses to provide one, even to those who have purchased the product. I believe this is in direct violation of FDA regulations.
Additionally, when she's been asked direct questions about her product, she either starts talking in flowery prose and avoids answering, or she becomes defensive.
She has many before and after photographs on her website. I suspected that they had been altered, and I asked a friend who is a professional to take a look at them. Here's what she said:
"It is not my opinion that the photographs on the <EDIT> website are phony, it is a fact. I present here the unmitigated proof of that fact, or facts. The examples provided are just a few elementary examples of what you're dealing with. I could have gone on all night but there are just too many points to expose. Whoever altered these photographs had a working knowledge of photo manipulation software, albeit a crude one, which in my opinion not only makes that person an accessory but presents little doubt that they were operating with knowledge of forethought, therefore premeditated."
I believe that you can click on the thumbnail I've attached to see the full marked-up photograph. (I'm sorry, but I cannot seem to attach it full-sized.) The other photographs on the site are also shopped according to my friend.
Other than the photos, I have no direct proof that the product is a scam, but I am positive that it is. I have done some research on the company, and I can't find a whole lot, though. The complete lack of information is, in itself, suspicious, in my opinion.
There is a small photograph of the owner herself taken from a distance. In it, she is smiling broadly. Compare this to a photo of yourself with the same type of smile, and I believe most all of you will find that your lips appear fuller and healthier than hers. Mine do.
I hope that my post doesn't offend. My only intention here is to let anyone who might come across this product know that they really must be careful here. There are a lot of products out there that promise miraculous results. Unfortunately, very few of them can actually deliver. I don't believe that this is one of them. I recommend sticking with a good balm or plumper from someone you trust. I'm sure if you were to apply it 32 times a day, you'd get fabulous results!
