HEY LADIES......

Thanks to Lori and her incessant need to "get to the bottom" of something, we now have a list of approved cosmetics, And not to ruin the surprise but.... You can wear whatever you want on your damn lips!! ha ha ha!

COSMETICS
Most women find it hard to believe that fats, oils, creams and ointments applied to the skin are absorbed and interfere with weight reduction by HCG just as if they had been eaten. This almost incredible sensitivity to even such very minor increases in nutritional intake is a peculiar feature of the HCG method. During the HCG protocol, it is critical that you eliminate the intake of oils, which includes oils applied externally in the form of lotions, cleansers, and cosmetics. With the exception of the approved products, cosmetics are prohibited.
