LIP TATTOOS: VGL OR NVGL? | Blog Post |

January 31, 2012

Welcome to a new feature on VERYGOODLOOKING: VGL or NVGL? Where we scour the world at large for the people, places, and things that raise an eyebrow, and we ask: in a good way? Is this idea something you would buy for your teenager, post on your Facebook page, YELP a positive review of?

Today's entry: Temporary Lip Tattoos. Found originally online at Sephora, I went one deeper on the seller's website, Violent Lips, where I learned that this ingenious idea was thought up by - but of course! - a 14-year-old, and her sister and father. The adorable (if precocious?) teen demonstrates in a tutorial video how to easily cut & shape and apply the lips ("in an 'ahhhh' shape") to your mouth, seal them with water, and take them off when you're ready. She says they last for 4-8 hours, and you can indeed "eat, drink, and kiss with them on."

And so, I pose to you: are Temporary Lip Tattoos #VGL or #NVGL? Do weigh in. 

Could ya, would ya, pink leopard?

Love ya, lavender glitterati?

Or maybe you're just a casual, blue jean kind of girl?

I, for one, am thrilled to have found my patriotic pucker for this election year.
