Talking about lips in Finnish

I was reading one of my upcoming easy Finnish novels with a student, and we talked a bit about the word äänihuulet, vocal cords. Ääni is a voice, and huulet is lips. Here's a list of other Finnish words with huulet. How many of them do you know?

1. huulet
2. huulikiilto
3. huuliharppu
4. huulipuna
5. huulirasva
6. huulivoide
7. häpyhuulet
8. äänihuulet

Translations after this huuliharppu picture by Clas Ohlson:

1. huulet  - lips
2. huulikiilto - lip gloss (kiiltää = to shine)
3. huuliharppu - a harmonica (harppu = a harp)
4. huulipuna - a lipstick (puna = red)
5. huulirasva -  lip balm (rasva = grease, fat)
6. huulivoide - lip balm (voide = lotion)
7. häpyhuulet - labia
8. äänihuulet - vocal chords
