it is up to you to decide whether to apply them to lips or whether to kiss them lips...a touph choice....

naturally! that is why we are dying of oldage at 40!

Prolonged application makes the lips develop deep ridges, like on the knuckles.

You have been warned. Look before you smooch.

for the ladies and men who are fascinated by lipstick!

@Yesuwako, Titanium dioxide is widely used in pigmentation and as food colour.

Did it have KBS sticker? We are doomed!
