A Facebook user named Lily Cleopatra Maurice from Orlando, Florida shared photos of her swollen lower lip from a hospital bed claiming they were caused by a Covergirl lipstick she used. She wrote:

In a second post, Ms Maurice wrote:
"I know everyone is laughing and people can be so cruel even on my way to the ER people can be so hurtful with their stears and whispering.
I am a mother of 4 and my kids could've woke up without me over a lipstick...

I am trembling thinking about how lucky i was to have choked enough to awake for who know what could've happend to be. I all my family have. No uncles no aunties just me and hubby. Thankful to be alive and spend this day with my family.

All this because of a lipstick.Peace and love everyone"
