The Label is Wrong

featuring Mom 2.0


Mom 2.0 was showing me all of her BeautiControl products, and we came across one called Lip Apeel.  

Mom 2.0:  You have to try this!  It's a great product.

Me: I'd love to!  What is it? 

Mom 2.0:  It's an exfoliant and moisturizer.  You put it around your lips, let it sit for a minute, then rub it with your finger. You'll feel it exfoliate your skin, and then you rinse it off, and the skin is so smooth!

Me: Wait... you mean it's supposed to go on your lips, right? 

Mom 2.0: No, around them. 

Me:  But it's called "LIP Apeel." 

Mom 2.0:  Yeah but that's because you put it around your lips, like this 
::demonstrates::

Me:  But... even the instructions on the label say to put it on your lips.  

Mom 2.0:  Well, you can put it on your lips, but it's really for the outside of the lips, for like... laugh lines & wrinkles.  

::Meanwhile, we're both sitting there with clown-face white rings around our lips, while my lips remain unexfoliated, dry and feeling left out.::
