move over botox (true story!!)

Calling all ladies (and a few brave men!)!! I have discovered the secret (and mind you it's CHEAP) to plump lips that'll make Angelina Jolie green with envy. So stop smashing your piggy banks and read on.

Interestingly enough this lip plumper also satisfies your chocolate cravings...

(Must have a gas stove, 1 large marshmallow, chocolate, and two graham crackers)

Step 1. Turn on your gas flame.

Step 2. Separate graham cracker halves and place chocolate piece onto one side of graham cracker.

Step 3. Place the large marshmallow onto a fork (anything pointy and metal will do the trick...think barbecue skewers).

Step 4. Toast marshmallow over the open flame until desired effect is achieved.

Step 5. Remove marshmallow from flame, turn off stove, and place marshmallow directly onto chocolate piece. Use the spare graham cracker half to top off your creation (which should resemble a sandwich).

Step 6. Devour creation loudly, and make sure to make a mess (trust me this is the part you really want to enjoy).

Step 7. After consuming your chocolate treat, survey the remaining ingredients and contemplate making another one.

Step 8. Grab the toasting utensil of your choice and notice there's still marshmallow left on it. Immediately decide you must have the left-overs, and promptly place searing hot utensil between dry lips (note: dry lips sear and plump best).

Step 9. After holding for 2-3 seconds, remove utensil and scream in agony. Run to the nearest source of anything refreshingly cold. The kitchen sink is probably your best bet at this point.

Step 10. Remind yourself that pain is beauty, and endure unbelievable pain for 2 hours (sucking on ice cubes will help during the recovery process).

And there you have it friends. CHEAP lip plumping!!! Not, of course, for the faint of heart. Fear of needles?? Low on cash? Need more plump than a truck-load of botox can deliver?? Then this is the plan for you.*

* Individual results may vary. Do not be alarmed if you develop a candy cane affect. Alternate streaks of bright red and blistered white are completely normal and can be covered with a tinted lip gloss, provided you can handle to pain. Results typically last 1-2 days.

Theory tested and proved valid...with no fewer than 8 blisters covering both top and bottom lips, achieving the desired "lip plumping effect." So c'mon...be brave and join me...and crank the gas!!!
