In retrospect, it wasn't necessarily advice, but that's how I took it! About five years ago I decided that I wanted Angelina Jolie lips, but without the needles. I read this article in Cosmo about lip plumping glosses and it said that a key ingredient in most of the good ones is Cayenne Pepper.

Because I'm really smart and always thinking outside the box, I thought if one little speck in an entire tube will have a plumping effect, imagine how gorgeous I'll be if I use an ENTIRE CAP of it mixed with just enough water (I even used distilled, because magic can't be taken lightly) to make a paste!!

I did. I rubbed it all over my lips. I got it on my teeth, and under my finger nails. I had burned blotches of face for more than an entire day!! I haven't tried to make my own make up again, I just leave it to the experts these days.
