Check out those lips… Snooki’s done a Kylie Jenner on it

One thing we've always loved about Jersey Shore alum Snooki is her brutal honesty, so we had to applaud this week when she told fans the truth about her latest beauty venture.

The mum-of-two, real name Nicole Polizzi, has always been self-conscious about her thin lips, and finally decided to take the plunge by getting lip fillers to plump them up. Posting a picture alongside cosmetic surgeon to the stars, Dr. Ramtin Kassir, Snooki was quick to tell fans what she'd had done. 

"Welp I did it kids! Tried my first lip plumping and so doing more #noshame thanks doc for not killing me" she wrote, showing off her noticeably fuller pout.

In another post later on that showed a close up look at her newly-filled lips, the reality star said the procedure wasn't as scary as she had thought it would be. "First session of lip plumps and it's just fabulous," she wrote. 

"I've always hated my thin lips and never thought I had the balls to get needles in my lip to perfect them but I did! Trust me girls, I was terrified to get my first 'procedure' ever done, but it wasn't terrible at all! And I hate needles! I love my 'natural beauty', but being able to enhance my lips to make me feel better about myself is life."

As one of Kylie Jenner's biggest fans, it's no surprise Snooki was ready to emulate the teenage star's pout. Back in April she posted a picture of herself with her lips fully lined, writing, "Tried the liner on the lips! Do I have Kylie Jenner lips yet?!"

Fans of Kylie will remember that she stayed silent about her notoriously full lips for months, claiming it was all down to expertly applied make-up, before admitting in May that she had gone for fillers too.

"I have temporary lip fillers, it's just an insecurity of mine and it's what I wanted to do," she admitted during an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

However, the reality TV star was adamant that she wasn't untruthful with her fans, adding, "I want to admit to the lips, but people are so quick to judge me on everything, so I might have tiptoed around the truth, but I didn't lie."

Maybe next time she'll take a leaf out of Snooki's book and be 100% honest up front.
