Not too long ago, the term "fat lip" had a rather negative connotation. But nowadays, it's a highly desired facial feature. Think doling out the dough and suffering through cringeworthy collagen sessions is the only way to score a Jolie-esque pout? If so, I suggest you give your wallet and your nerves a break, and try the Too Faced Lip Injection Intensive Plumping Mask ($27.50; drugstore.com). Don't be fooled by the small jar--the ingredients pack a powerful punch. Algae and aloe moisturize and nourish, glycolic humectants exfoliate and refresh, and vitamins A and E provide anti-aging benefits, reducing the appearance of vertical lip lines. All the while, red-pepper resin plumps your kisser to impressive proportions. To use, simply apply a generous coat within your natural lip line, sit back and relax for five minutes, then gently remove with warm water. The tingling sensation you'll feel, courtesy of the resin, indicates that the blood vessels are dilating and your lips are getting a rush of blood and oxygen. How did Lip Injection Mask stack up to the abundance of glosses promising similar results? I found that the mask delivered longer-lasting and noticeably plumper lips--no appointments or needles required. —Courtney Sauve
