This is the latest social media game sweeping the world. It comes a month after the Kylie Jenner lips challenge which encouraged kids to over inflate their lips similar to the Kardashian half sister. For over a year Kylie Jenner s lips have been a big topic of conversation in the media and among her fans. They seemed to have plumped up overnight and viewers were convinced that Jenner had work done. At only 17 years old having any kind of cosmetic work done can be highly debatable and Jenner was not trying to be on the receiving end of hate comments and criticism.
