New from Urban Decay are eight flat-shaped, over-sized lip glosses called Pocket Rocket (£10.50). Adorned with (double-sided) photographs of hunks who change from being fully dressed into their skivvies as you turn the tube, these lip goodies are satisfying to your senses in more ways than one.
Firstly, the gloss glides on smooth, they're only the teeniest bit sticky and the shades are relatively sheer. Secondly, if you rub the side of the tube, pheromones that have been formulated in the ink, are released which have been proven to help you attract the opposite sex. Lastly, the guys pictured are hot!
Whilst I can't deny that this is by far the heftiest sex-inspired gimmick I've seen to help sell makeup, I keep mine with me at all times just to get a reaction from my friends.
The colours are pretty, the packaging is hilarious and the gloss is tasty good too (they've been enhanced with crème brulee flavouring). I say why not have fun with your makeup, even if it means pulling a picture of a half naked man out of your purse. Do you think you'd be too embarrassed to buy a pocket rocket?

Whoa that's awesome, I totally want one
. I got a toothbrush several years ago from
Urban Outfitters that did the same thing but showed a little more skin, if you know what I mean...
1I wouldn't be embarrassed to buy it - I'd be embarrassed to carry it around. No thanks.
2I would use this if it didn't have the guys on it. I like pheromones - I'm a regular Alphaero wearer. I like to keep it discreet and real, if you know what i mean. So take off the stupid, gimmicky guys.
3LMAO I love these... too bad I have a phobia of lip products--or swallowing whatever is in them, rather.
