I’ve seen a lot of different kinds of “multi-tasking” cosmetics in my time, but I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen a lipgloss that doubles as a drug-testing kit…

The more I think about it, though, the more this seems like a really good idea. Sadly for all of us, date rape is something that’s becoming increasingly common, and this little kit allows you to find out if your drink has been spiked by dipping a simple pink taper into it – if it turns blue, it means it’s detected traces of either GHB or Ketamine, and you should alert the club’s security staff and call the police. 

If it remains pink, on the other hand, you can concentrate on using the gloss itself, which is a non-sticky formula that comes in five different colours. The gloss costs £9.99 per tube, and is available from the company’s website.
