So was Too Faced Fuze Slenderize Guilt Free Lip Gloss Worth it?

Here's something that sort of came and went (though it's still for sale at Sephora)--the little joint venture between Too Faced cosmetics and Coca-Cola's Fuze called Too Faced Fuze Slenderize Guilt Free Lip Gloss.
It seems it was here with a newsworthy splash, and now when I browse the Too Faced site, I can't find this makeup wonder that touted the ability to inhibit your appetite--thereby promoting weight loss (ie, the "Slenderize" part of the name) just by gliding it on your lips. Here's what the original release said (from CosmeticsDesign.com, 1/8/08):
A new slimming lip gloss modelled on a range of energy drinks takes the collaboration between the food and cosmetics industries to a new level.
The lip gloss is the result of a partnership between Too Faced cosmetics and Fuze, a Coca Cola-owned producer of energizing and slimming drinks. The gloss promises to provide high shine whilst delivering appetite suppressing and energy boosting ingredients.
The product comes in three flavours that mirror Fuze's beverage range and includes the same active ingredients such as chromium, L-Carnitine and Super Citrimax.
As a side note, L-Carnitine is also found in numerous "diet" or weight loss products, including the Pink Diet Patch.
While I'm a big fan of managing weight through a balanced diet and exercise, I suppose if Too Faced Fuze Slenderize Guilt Free Lip Gloss were worth it, it might at least be something to try before heading to the doctor's office for some other liposuction alternative.
So here's my question: did anyone actually try the Too Faced Fuze Slenderize Guilt Free Lip Gloss--with the intention of losing weight--and was it worth it?
