Huge Lips Skinny Hips (the Update)!

Prelude:  I wrote this article for my makeup column back in January.  I still adore my Huge Lips Skinny Hips (not surprisingly, I am still a Red Sole girl, all the way)!  Fantastic news:  you can now purchase Huge Lips Skinny Hips via the Home Shopping Network (HSN)!  It’s item number 276-220 on http://www.hsn.com!  Here’s the link:  http://beauty.hsn.com/purple-lab-huge-lips-skinny-hips-lip-plumper_p-5846199_xp.aspx?web_id=5846203&ocm=sekw  Enjoy! xoxo– Holly

What’s in a name?  Quite a lot, if you want to stand out in a crowd.  Just ask “Huge Lips Skinny Hips”, the new lip gloss from PurpleLab! 

Almost as interesting as the product’s name is the company’s reliance on social networking sites, such as Twitter and Facebook, to market “Huge Lips Skinny Hips”. After reading a tweet or two about this product  on Twitter, I had to find out more about it!  After all, what woman doesn’t want more information on huge lips and skinny hips?  A quick google led to the parent company’s website:   www.purplelabnyc.com.

I must admit, I was immediately intrigued.  A lip gloss that plumps and contains hoodia (an appetite suppressant)?  What a great idea!  I ordered “Red Sole” (a glossy red with a sheer texture).  Like all the glosses in this line, mine arrived  packaged in a very àpropos purple, hourglass shaped box!  Also included was a product card, explaining what I already suspected:  that the color name, “Red Sole”, is an homage to none other than those irresistible red soles found on Christian Louboutin designer shoes!  Ohh la la!  (At this point, my husband might ask, “Does the purple box and the mention of ‘that shoe guy’ make the product better?”  As I am sure most of my readers would agree:  Yes, it truly does!  So Bravo, Purplelab!  Rock on with your hoodie and your hourglass-shaped purple box and your Louboutin’s!  Muah!)
