Plump lips... although we'd like to say we're not interested those giant juicy smackers have us slightly intrigued.

We can't quite get our heads around the injection aspect (NO THANKS), so what else can we do? There are products on the market that claim to plump up those lips naturally, yes they give us a little tingle, but we're not convinced.
Farah Dhukai is fast becoming our most trusted beauty guru, she brought us the turmeric teeth whitening trick that ACTUALLY WORKS and a while back she posted this wasabi lip plumping trick, then everyone lost their minds.
We don't understand how her lips are not burning. Or how she's not screaming, we've all tried wasabi...

Cue all sorts of people trying this craze online with some pretty terrifying results, let's be honest this has to be safer than that weird cup thing people were sucking on for a while.
Since the lip hack was posted a rake of dermatologists have slammed it saying it's dangerous and could cause an allergic reaction.
Here's what we think is important to remember before trying it out.
DO a patch test - put a tiny amount on and just see what happens, leave it for a few hours.
DO NOT leave it on for a full minute the first time round - if you can more power to you, we couldn't! If it's burning too much, wipe it off.
DO NOT try this if you have chapped or sore lips, seriously that s**t will BURN, wait until your lips are in good condition.
DO remember that wasabi is a natural irritant on the skin, it's supposed to tingle and burn slightly that's the whole point, if your lips look plumper it's because they're swollen from the reaction
DO NOT forget that you're pretty perfect the way you are, the wasabi lip thing is only temporary and the plumpness will fade away.
