<b>The product:</b> According to some experts, hoodia the active ingredient in this new gloss, due out at the end of the month can help suppress appetites (though no published clinical evidence supports the claim). Huge Lips also contains lip-plumping vitamin B3, which stimulates blood flow; vitamin E; lemon peel oil; and meadowfoam oil, a natural moisturizer. The gloss is available in six shades.<br>

<b>The test:</b> We slicked on this lip gloss a couple of hours after lunch to see if it could help deter an afternoon sugar binge. It glided on smoothly, and the sheer shade gave us a sexy pout. Within a few minutes we didnt feel the need to snack on M&Ms. It was another hour before the chocolate proved too tempting.<br>

<b>The verdict:</b> This moisturizing gloss sweeps on like silk and the sophisticated shades (Worship Kate, a sheer, deep rose, for instance) make it a worthy purchase regardless of whether it appeases restless appetites.

The product: According to some experts, hoodia the active ingredient in this new gloss, due out at the end of the month can help suppress appetites (though no published clinical evidence supports the claim). Huge Lips also contains lip-plumping vitamin B3, which stimulates blood flow; vitamin E; lemon peel oil; and meadowfoam oil, a natural moisturizer. The gloss is available in six shades.

The test: We slicked on this lip gloss a couple of hours after lunch to see if it could help deter an afternoon sugar binge. It glided on smoothly, and the sheer shade gave us a sexy pout. Within a few minutes we didnt feel the need to snack on M&Ms. It was another hour before the chocolate proved too tempting.

The verdict: This moisturizing gloss sweeps on like silk and the sophisticated shades (Worship Kate, a sheer, deep rose, for instance) make it a worthy purchase regardless of whether it appeases restless appetites.
