Start Loving Your Thighs

You may be thinking, what does sumo wrestling have to do with beauty? Well, the genius behind PurpleLabNYC, Karen Robinovitz, found a way to make it work. I just got back from one of her monthly Tweet Ups at Church Street Boxing where a bunch of beauty bloggers toned up by sumo wrestling to support PurpleLabNYC's Huge Lips Skinny Hips color "Love Your Thighs."

Caffeine infused water, Crumbs cupcakes and plenty of blackberries, cameras and flip cams made the event a complete success.  Besides the laughter created amongst all of the bloggers from watching each other run around in fat suits, a hot male model (originally wearing a robe) disrobed and ran around in a thong in between rounds!

For those of you who don't know, Huge Lips Skinny Hips in Love Your Thighs is a translucent coral lip gloss that is universally flattering and the best thing about the gloss is that it's loaded with the appetite suppressant, hoodia.  Perhaps this gloss is the first step in loving your thighs? 

I met some amazing people who I recognized by their blog and website names, but didn't know by their actual name. It's amazing how Tweeting brings everyone together. 

If you're in the mood to laugh, check out this YouTube video from the event... Classic!  

Spotlight On: Purple Lab

After eating one-too-many hors d'oeuvres at a Fashion Week party Purple Lab Creatrix, Karen Robinovitz thought, "If only I could put something to my lips that plumped them instead of my hips."  And woo-la!  Just like that Purple Lab was founded and just this spring launched its first product, Huge Lips, Skinny Hips at Scoop.

If you haven't already heard about Huge Lips, Skinny Hips listen up, because it's an absolute must-have for every woman.  It's a lip gloss that contains Hoodia to suppress your appetite and Vitamin B3 to plump your lips.  Karen named each of the six colors after her favorite icons and philosophies.  Being that I know her, I can truly say they reflect her personality to a T! I have one in every bag.

My favorite is Red Sole because it's named after the sexy soles on Christian Louboutin stilettos (my favorite shoes in the world).  What's sexier than pairing red lips with black patent leather Louboutins? And the plumper doesn't even tingle.  Other colors are: Love Your Thighs, Lychee Martini, Worship Kate, No Panty Lines and Kitty Poledancer.  There's one for every personality.

Purple Lab will be releasing a new gloss this fall to support Breast Cancer Awareness and the company will continue to release chic double-duty products so stay tuned. Check out the Purple Lab blog to get updates on new innovations and Karen's adventures.  You would never believe half of the things she's experienced!
