BLISS! SPIFF UPPER LIP! THANK-YOU BEAUTYTICKET.COM FOR MAKING MY HOLIDAY SO MERRY!
Gigi here! I'm in a Christmas mood, so please chime in with me in singing:
"You better watch out
You better not cry
Better not pout
I'm telling you why--
You will wind up with a million wrinkles
on your upper lip and ruin your appearance."
Okay, so I squeezed too many lyrics into the tune, but you get the picture. Our emotions leave a permanent appearance on our faces, both happy and sad. I like to people-watch at the mall and try to determine the vocation or disposition of the women walking by. If I speak with them, I find that my guess is usually spot on.
Someone spontaneously laughing with a gleam in her eye? She's either just newly in love or hit the lottery. Drug addicts don't count here. A woman with a serene but calm smile? Someone living and loving life to the fullest. If she is dressed in heels, she may actually look forward to going to work. Same smile with two mismatched shoes? It's a happy mother of at least one little bambina or bambino who hasn't been able to take more than thirty seconds to dress in a long time. Note the missing patch of hair on her head and pardon her fashion faux pas.
Ah, this one is easy. If you spy a well-organized woman with sensible shoes, deeply-defined frown lines, a furrowed brow, and a mere line for what should be lips? She's a teacher. The same woman but with no lips at all? A high school teacher, of course! Happily, I love my job; thus, my mouth is not MIA.
So before you grimace and snarl and engage in a brawl at a toy store over the last Zhu Zhu Pets this Christmas, stop and think. Don't worry, be happy. New toys come and go. You only have one gorgeous face to protect. What are some other things which cause unattractive vertical lines and a deeper skin tone in this area? Repeated whistling. Lose the habit, hang up your county fair awards, and find another means of recreation. Lipstick, our beloved lipstick, helps to dehydrate the entire area around your mouth as you age (this is sad but don't you frown--I can see you). As you know from a recent and highly educational piece by Jasmine of this site, petroleum can have harsh effects on skin and plays a role here. Continued lipstick usage allows the delicate skin around the mouth to rely on petroleum and artificial waxes for moisture. After time, it ceases producing its own and leaves you parched. This tissue is as sensitive as the skin under your eyes.
Watch out, ye health-conscious ones of good faith. You are pleased that you are skipping eggnog in lieu of water because it is your new drink of choice--lots of it. Santa is applauding you along with me because you are being a very good girl, but sucking on water bottles contributes to this catastrophe. Return to a relic of the past called a tumbler or glass. Smoking? We won't even go there. Meg Heads do not smoke because we want to live long, look beautiful forever, and prosper.
What's a woman to do? The need for bearded women in a circus has been hit by the economy as well and jobs are few. The joyous news is that lines, a darkened skin tone here, and a deflated balloon look can actually be remedied permanently. It begins with a unique, multi-purpose skin care product by the firm Bliss called "Spiff Upper Lip." And it's on sale for $14.99 at the discount beauty store Santa generously made for us to use and enjoy all year round--Beauty Ticket. That's a deal, as it generally retails for $38.00. Actually, that's more like a steal which puts this into the drugstore category!
What makes "Spiff Upper Lip" noteworthy? "Spiff" is packed with good-for-you ingredients to revive and renew. For you purists, there is organic sweet almond oil, grape oil, shea butter, and soybean oil to repair damage. Also included is a form of hyaluronic acid, now highly touted as a miracle at reducing creases. A trade-marked retinol-based fluid allows the creases to begin to disappear and holds collagen in the skin, something we all lose with age. GABA, present as well, is replacing Botox these days by helping muscles to relax (always say yes to relaxed facial muscles). Other components actually brighten the entire area, making hair (hair--what hair?) less noticeable and reducing the five-o'clock-shadow some of us are prone to sport. I noted benefits in about ten days; some women may have to wait longer. My upper lip was simply plumper, smoother, and younger-looking.
The formula comes in a pen-like dispenser with a brush on the end. Simply twist the bottom to dispense a small amount of this potion, for that is all you need. It seeps into skin immediately. Follow with your normal moisturizer. If you have very sensitive skin, switch to a routine of every other night to avoid possible irritation.
Oh, kissing is not recommended for keeping wrinkles at bay, but I say "bah, humbug!" and suggest hanging up the mistletoe everywhere you are and engage in all of the lip-locking you want fearlessly. You've got "Spiff" for any repairs and who wants to miss romance for anything? Not me!

I love beautyticket.com! I've made a couple purchases from them already and only wish I could buy EVERYTHING on their site. I'll have to settle for normal-size purchases. :) Their shipping is super fast too.

I love reading a review of a product that seems to promise so much it just can't be that good. I am a Bliss fan, I am a Beautyticket fan, but Bliss makes so many products, some of which I continue to use, others have fallen off the radar. I would give this a try. Thanks for a great review.
"humbug" hahah I love that word! i used to crack up everytime i hear it at school. i'm not sure how relevant this product would be to myself but i simply LOVE these reviews! I've been spending a fair bit of time at work recommeding my customers products that i've read from here.. instead of selling skincare that i'm suppose to be selling.. OOPS!

I'll try anything to work on those wrinkles above my lip! Great review!
ooh great review, i love lip stuff, even better if it is tinted.. i love tinted lip moisturisers that you know are good for your skin, best of all worlds. They dont have a tinted version?
makeup makeup makeup!!!!!!!
GiGi, you are the MASTER of product reviews. The humor...the drama...the suspense! Glamour should be kicking your door down, sister! I always thought products like these would have to wait until I was much older, but even at my age, I can totally see a product like this being beneficial. And that price is so ridiculously low, I'm off to buy 4 of them :) Merry Christmas to me :))

Fashion. Style. Popular Culture. It's addictive!
I love Bliss products. I've only ever tried a couple, but none have let me down. I also love beauty ticket..best discounts pretty much ever! I about died the other day looking at the all the Yves Saint Laurent products..anyway. This product sounds really nice. I probably don't treat my lips as well as I should. All I do is balm them religiously. Maybe I should look into something like this for a little extra tlc.
I like the Bliss line,some are too pricey at full-retail though and how awesome Beautyticket has us covered!I actually have been wanting to try this and now,thanks to you,I can and will! :)
I love Bliss, I love BeautyTicket, I love things that make my lips look younger, and I love Gigi! Great review - I'm off to Beauty Ticket (again) to buy Spiffs for me and my vintage loved ones!

"The same woman but with no lips at all?"...... Hilarious Gigi! I'm a big fan of their makeup remover, and this product sounds perfect for me. It's as if under the product description they had a photo of my unsmiling mouth that read, if you don't want to look this ~ then purchase our product. hahaha! I'm off to spend some birthday money at beautyticket.com. My heart rate is rising just thinking about it!
i want it because i DONT want wrinkle above my lip!! and o ya i dont care what anybody says i love love love your song=D

I love Beauty Ticket! There is a ton of stuff I am really dying for from there!! Maybe I should add this to the list. Gigi, your words are always so convincing. You make me want things that I never realized I needed. These companies would make a ton of money if they would hire you for their marketing team!! Great review!! I hope to find my "Bliss" one day soon!
Thanks for the great review! I don't have to worry about upper lip lines yet, but if my mom and grandma are any indication I will one day! Thanks for the tips to keep them at bay as long as possible!
HAHA. grea song :\don't have any upper lip lines yet... it seems like such a weird place to.. wrinkle. ill be sure to look at what other products this company offers.
I love reading any lip product review, and while I don't need this one yet - that certainly is a great deal! Long live beautyticket.com!
Thanks gigi,always love hearing your take. this product sounds very interesting and lets face it...who couldn't use help around the lip area and eye area and nose area and forehead....etc...thanks for sharing
Ohhh Gigi, I think this has been your best article yet!!! I adore reading your beautiful and clever reviews, but this one really takes the cake. I'm going to give this product a try - thankfully I don't smoke, drink PLENTY of water but due to travelling to school each day, have to do this in a drink bottle.. hello sucking on the end of my plastic bottle teat wrinkles! :| I love that Beauty Ticket have once again made something so worthwhile so affordable. <3
Whoa, I agree, a super enjoyable review =) Sounds like a similarly great product -- I've never been to BeautyTicket, but I think I need to make my way over there.
Hey Gigi. Another great review! I don't believe I need this product as of now but it sounds really great. By the way, I was totally singing that lovely song until I got to the part that was new. I was like "what?!" hahaha you're quite the creative one Gigi! Have a great weekend!

Great review! This sounds like a must have product. I've often wondered if it really works.

great review, a friend of mine has been using dr lewinn's lip contour but it doesn't seem to be working, i'll forward her this.
I love anything bliss and at this price it is most definately a steal! I love when great cosmetics go on clearance. Then I don't feel as guilty about purchasing them. :)
Another hilarious review Ha Ihad a high school teacher with that mouth.I'm gonna have to get me some of this or cut the hell down on the pouting!!.

Great review. Thanks for all the information and the product sounds worthy enough to try. Anyone know where it's sold in Canada?
I love Bliss products, thianks for the review!! I'll have to try this product, its added to my long list of to buy products!!
I totally dread the possibility of getting wrinkles/lines around my mouth :( Fortunately I don't have any yet, but it sounds like this is a miraculous product that can do even more than just that!

I'm a sucker for Bliss products but I found that not all of them works for me. I was just looking at this item on BeautyTicket.com a few days ago... the low price is defintely an attraction!
Another awesome Gigi review to brighten my day and bring a smile to my face! I have this product, and I bought it at Beatyticket.com. Which if you haven't ordered from them yet, you need to!
I know what you mean about emotions for sure. Lol I concentrate on keeping a straight lifeless face. lol but I just can't do it! Love beauty ticket too! I always check in every monday to see the deal of the week! Everyonce in a while its something ive been reallllly wanting! This sounds like a good find. *knock on wood* My upper lip is ok.... so far.... But years ago I was a smoker... and ive heard that will give you wrinkles there from the puckering action. And to avoid straws! But I love drinking with straws!
Tan is Love
I've never tried Bliss products, this sounds great! Thank you for the review and sticking some AC/DC in my head!
I love the name, so straight forward!
This sounds like a dream product . . . and it's hard to resist with that price tag. But, I don't know if I'd be able to keep up the regimen if I had to buy the product full price . . .

I've always wanted to try Bliss products simply for their catchy product names. It's nice to know that they work as well and that I can now afford them thanks to Beautyticket!
I heard this is amazing!
I just looked at beauty.ticket recently. There are some GREAT deals on there! Definitely a site to check out regularly! I'd hate to miss something!
I need this so bad. I have vertical wrinkles around my mouth and I don't smoke. I know smokers usually have these wrinkles, but I have never puffed. I try smile all the time, but they don't look like smile lines. I would do just about anything to get rid of these. This sounds like a reasonable priced product to try. I have tried eye creams, wrinkle fillers, firming creams and no luck. Keep your fingers crossed and hope this finally works for me.
Thanks for the review, I am off to buy a couple of these.
great review! tempting to try...practically like every product reviewed here :) oh & i <3 beautyticket....definitely one of my favorite discoveries of 2009!!

im obsessed with preventing wrinkles before they happen so I NEEEED THIS!! and for only 15 dollars?!?!
I love the design of the product actually, the blue line just looks cool. Random comment, but it just looks like it would be good.I don't really worry about wrinkles though.
Let's all enjoy the Summer sunshine!
I'll keep an eye out - drugstore products that work - and the ingredients sound good! - are my cup of tea.
I love some of the new organic lip glosses and lipsticks some mineral makeup companies are coming out with that hydrate instead of drying, too. And of course the price on all of this can't be beat!
Oh, I must really be careful when using lipsticks. I never knew that! I have this bottle of sweet almond oil that I've been using for my hair. Maybe I should try applying some on my lips too!
Oh, too bad about lipsticks! I'm usually kind if afraid when it comes to these miracle-rejuvenating products as my mum has always told me they were cr*p... I'm tempted though... :)
