In the last two years I’ve probably gained no less than 20 pounds. (This is kind of hilarious because I thought I was “fat” before the extra 20 pounds!)

Now that the two year anniversary of my dad’s death has passed, it’s time I stop blaming my weight gain on grief and get my fat ass in shape.

This is a lot easier said than done, but I’m determined to make it happen.

Enter: Purple Lab Huge Lips Skinny Hips lip gloss with Hoodia (yes, the appetite suppressant!)

Of course this isn’t a “magic pill” that will erase my extra weight overnight but, hey, if a gorgeous gloss might keep me from succumbing to carb cravings, who am I to keep from re-applying?!

Huge Lips Skinny Hips comes in four shades: No Panty Lines (crystal clear), Worship Kate (Mauve-ish, pinkish with a dose of brown and berry and a tiny bit of sparkle), Kitty Pole Dancer (nude with soft pink undertones) and Red Sole (subtle, sheer red).

The great news is that Purple Lab products are now available at HSN.com. Get the Lip Plumper duo for $29.50!
