Celebrity Buzz Nathan Lane is releasing a product meant to “boost lip volume up to 40 percent,” which makes sense because — oh wait, no, that makes NO SENSE AT ALL.

Style Buzz Surfer Bethany Hamilton, who lost her left arm in a 2003 shark attack, has created a lip gloss that can easily be pushed up and down with one arm.
