Would You Ever Try Temporary Lip Tattoos?
I love bright lipstick. (I'm currently obsessed with hot pink lipstick for spring and summer-especially for a night out.) So when I heard about Violent Lips Temporary Lip Tattoos, I ordered them immediately. They're like lipstick to the extreme!

They come in 16 different crazy patterns-everything from rainbow to leopard-but I opted for the somewhat subtle pink with white polka dots. (Sorry, I thought the zebra would be too much. I'm a wimp.) When I opened the envelope to get started, I was freaked out: They are HUGE-Angelina couldn't wear these things!

But then I read the directions, which clearly explained how to hold them up to your own lips to measure and then trim them. After ten minutes of arts and crafts, I finally had a shape that looked (kind of) like my pucker. Then, the application process was exactly like putting on a temporary tattoo: Hold them onto your lips, dab the back of the sticker-thing with water, wait 30 seconds and peel. Tada! Polka-dot lips.

I've been wearing my new lips for the last few hours, and while I think the look is surprisingly cute, I've had a few snafus: I can't smile with teeth (the sticker would crack instead of stretching), my lips feel a bit dry and I think I swallowed a piece of sticker while I was eating lunch. But does any of that really matter since I like the way they look?
Each pack comes with three applications, so this won't be my last time with polka dot lips. Don't you think it's only a matter of time before Katy Perry starts wearing these every day? I'd better buy more before they totally sell out.
