Steal a Kiss: Dr. Lips’ Six Lip Styles Makes Botched Lip Jobs A Thing of The Past
Dr. Robert Gordon, a.k.a. Dr. Lips, has created the world’s first and only template for lip classification and augmentation. As an experienced cosmetic dentist armed with specialized knowledge of the mouth and its surrounding areas, Dr. Gordon is on a mission to make botched lip jobs a thing of the past. With the introduction of Dr. Gordon’s six lip styles, patients are kissing their plastic surgeons goodbye and anxiously seeking out doctors trained to Dr. Gordon’s specifications of lip classification and augmentation.
Dr. Gordon’s organization, Vermillion Dollar Lips (VDL), provides quality training to physicians looking to provide their patients with lip and perioral augmentation using his classification system. The template reveals the six basic lip styles, all of which are extremely area specific and exclusive to VDL trained doctors only. Patients can choose from the Classic, Rubina, Cupid, Pearlique, Hollywood, and Angelic looks.
“Oftentimes physicians are over-injecting the lips,” explains Dr. Gordon. “They inject an equal amount in the bottom and top lip and hope for the best. This is why we see so many botched procedures. My classification system actually gives patients the look they desire by working with the individual’s needs, and providing a very detailed and exact augmentation of the lips.”
The lip styles range from the more modest mouth to a bolder pout. The Classic is the most subtle – perfect for women who have lost volume as a result of aging. The Rubina is a slightly fuller pout that can only be placed on a woman whose face shape matches the criteria. For ladies looking for a more youthful kisser, the Cupid style is their match. Finally, the Pearlique, Hollywood and Angelic styles are best for those who desire a fuller set of lips.
“I noticed a definitive void in the medical arena pertaining to lips and perioral aesthetics,” says Dr. Gordon. “I used my experience in both art and science to create a classification system that would fill that void and allow women to reach their full aesthetic potential.”
Whether seeking a simple restoration of lost volume or chasing that Hollywood starlet’s pucker, women all over are seeking out VDL certified physicians for tips on their lips and are leaving with a smile. As the first and only template for breathtaking lips, Dr. Gordon’s classification system is making botched lip jobs history.

Summer
Too Faced Glamour Gloss: Summer 2010 A Girl’s Best Friend Collection
As you have likely gathered from my recent posts, Raging Rouge has officially given the Too Faced Summer 2010 Collection–A Girl’s Best Friend–two thumbs up. Among the winning cosmetics released for Summer are these super-shiny, super-opaque Too Faced Glamour Glosses.
Glamour Gloss is ideal for anyone in search of some sting-free plumping action. I have very sensitive skin, and some lip plumpers can irritate the skin around my lips, leaving it looking raw and red (not exactly attractive). I experience no negative side-effects with Glamour Gloss! After application, the gloss has a cooling feeling and a crisp peppermint scent! I’m a fan of the rich color this gloss imparts. It’s the perfect choice for anyone who generally prefers lipstick to gloss.
Swatches above: Strip Tease (left) and Pillow Talk (right)
Strip Tease: This deep shade of pink has quickly become a favorite. Something about it is just so youthful and fresh!
Pillow Talk: This shade is a delightfully opaque, shiny naked that works perfectly with a smoky eye!
Retail price is $19 per gloss. Twelve different shades are available. Retailers include Toofaced.com and Sephora.com.

The Skin-ny On Skin Cancer: Dr. Amy Wechsler
Readers, today I have a special treat for you! Dr. Amy Wechsler–a New York Dermatologist and author of The Mind-Beauty Connection–offers some sage advice on sun protection. Words to live by!
Did You Know…
– Skin cancer is the most common form of cancer in the US
– Each year there are more new cases of skin cancer than breast, prostate, lung and colon cancer, combined
– One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime
– More than 3.5 million cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in the US each year
Skin cancer is on the rise due to everything from the invention of tanning beds to global warming, which has depleted the upper atmosphere’s protective ozone layer. Fortunately there are ways you can protect yourself:
Always seek shade. It reduces UV by 50 to 95 percent. Avoidance is your number-one tactic, especially between ten in the morning and four in the afternoon, and near reflective surfaces (sand, water, snow). Even when it’s overcast, 80 percent of UV rays zips through the clouds. (In fact, you should even wear sunscreen when sitting in a window seat on a plane)
Cover your body. You’re thinking, who in their right mind wears a lot of clothes by the pool? Or on a hike? Be creative. At the beach, when you’re not in the water, wrap a beach towel around your lower half, put on a tee shirt and wear a wide-brimmed hat. For sports, invest in a few pieces of lightweight clothing especially made with an ultraviolet protection factor, or UPF. A UPF of 50 means only one-fifth of the sun’s rays pass through it. Or use a laundry product with TinosorbFD to increase the UPF of your clothes; it will last through repeated washings.
Think one teaspoon, two shot glasses. Slather on sunscreen…apply one teaspoon’s worth of broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher (which filters out 97 percent of UVB rays) on the face and at least three ounces, two shot glasses full, on the body. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen that protects against both UVA and UVB rays and contains at least 9 percent invisible zinc oxide and titanium dioxide, such as Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Sunscreen. Anthelios XL 50 Fluide Extreme (made by La Roche-Posay) is another good one for the face.
Sunscreen Tips:
– Apply sunscreen indoors, about thirty minutes before you go out in the sun
– Ignore promises of “all-day protection” and “water resistant”; they are not reliable. Reapply all sunscreens at least every two to three hours and right after sweating or swimming
– There’s an expiration date on sunscreens. Check it and toss old ones
– Don’t store sunscreens in the glove compartment of your car – heat degrades them
– Don’t forget to protect the lips, hands and ears. Those are common areas for skin cancer that people forget about
Screening. Be proactive about scheduling an appointment with a dermatologist if you’ve never been to one, and be diligent about regular, once yearly checkups to have a complete body exam. It’s also important to screen for funny, changing spots or moles at home.
ABCs to identification:
– Asymmetry – half of the spot doesn’t match or look like the other half
– Borders that are irregular – ragged, notched, or blurred around the edges
– Color changes – say, from tan to black or red to blueish
– Diameter – anything larger than a pencil eraser (6 millimeters) should be scrutinized, in addition to anything that’s started growing.
*When in doubt, get it checked out
