If you鈥檙e lucky enough to suffer from tired lips, how about treating them to a quick massage? Ji Soo Kim of Seoul in South Korea says a modified lipstick will do the trick (WO 0243521). The metal cap of the lipstick contains a small battery that is connected to a heating wire and a tiny motor. Flicking a switch on the lipstick warms the metal cap while the motor makes it gently vibrate. So you can give your lips a warm massage before taking the top off to apply the lipstick. Apart from the feel-good factor, Kim claims the massage allows the lipstick to penetrate deeper and last longer.
