Okay how could I resist this one. A lip balm that claims to burn fat and suppress my appetite. I’ve spent loads more on other things that claim the same thing so why not try this. Manufactured by Advanced Cosmetic Research Laboratories for Pacific Shore Holdings Inc. it is the endeavour of Dr. Allan Kurtz. I don’t know about you but the name of the company sounds similar to ‘Cayman Island Offshore Holding Coporation’ which is the stamp that Krusty the Clown uses to endorse the cheque Bart gives him. Now I’m not saying that the owner of Pacific Shore Holdings Inc. is run by Krusty the Clown it’s just merely an observation.
Application
This looks like any run of the mill lip balm with the standard cap and banner around the tube. I chose pomegranate over the other flavours as I thought it might a little different. It does smell nice but unfortunately that’s where the pleasure ends. I expected it to just glide on like any normal lip balm and it does but the texture is gritty. The grittyness does seem to melt after a few minutes but it isn’t pleasant. It’s not dissimilar to when you put on gooey lip gloss and every little bit of dirt and fluff sticks to it. The balm itself also feels quite greasy. I think you would have to use this under lipstick but I think it would make it slide around.
What happened next
Well actually nothing happened. I used it for two weeks and I didn’t notice a change in my energy levels nor do I feel that it suppressed my appetite and believe me I wished it would have. I don’t know if I should have used the product longer, there doesn’t seem to be any information about how quickly you will see results. However with any product of this nature individual results my vary. I suppose it would work better in tandem with a fitness regime and balanced diet of which I have neither at the moment. Like everyone else I thought I could scoff as many Grande Mocha’s I wanted and still get away with it. Fat Chance!
