Collection Cosmetics Plumping, High-Shine, Non-Sticky, Plump Me Up Scented Lip Gloss, 10ml, Clear, Peppermint

Product Information

After a swipe or two, the gloss drenches lips in a refreshing, chilly sensation that the brand describes as "tantalizing." Some find that tingle to be too much, but others, like our tester, found the sensation to be an invigorating reminder that the product was hard at work. "The tingling was slightly more intense than I thought it would be, but it diminished as time went on," the tester admits. "I thought it felt good, but it could definitely be too much for some people."

"I was surprised to find that my lips actually felt nourished and hydrated while wearing the gloss," the tester says. "I didn't need to apply lip balm underneath it, which is something I usually do when I wear lip gloss." Plus, once it's on, it's on. Even after all-day wear, she didn't need to reapply it to keep her lips juicy and plump. There's variety, too. The gloss is available in five high-shine, semi-sheer shades: Clear, beige, baby pink, pink, and red.

A lip plumper is a gloss, balm or serum that’s designed to produce a temporarily fuller and plumper look. Lip plumpers contain hydrating ingredients such as hyaluronic acid to maximise the moisture in the delicate skin of the lips. Polyisobutene, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Parfum, Phenoxyethanol, Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Tribehenin, Sorbitan Isostearate, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Linalool, Limonene When shopping for a lip plumper, it's important to look at the ingredient label because the lips (and the area around them) are very delicate. "Seek out plumpers that utilize hyaluronic acid and collagen, as both ingredients help draw hydration to the top level of the skin to naturally plump and define the lips," says Brian Nourian, co-founder of Le Jolie Medi Spa in West Hollywood. He recommends avoiding harsh ingredients like peppermint oil, bee venom, and pepper extract because they boost lip shape by irritating the skin to increase blood flow to the surface. While it will give you results, it can harm your skin in the process. Depending on the ingredients used, you’ll feel a tingling or slight stinging sensation on application, but this settles down after a few minutes, leaving you with a plusher pout. You’ll also notice that some lip plumpers are formulated with peptides. "Peptides are composed of amino acids. Some peptides stimulate collagen and elastin production, which work by increasing moisture as well, producing localized swelling in the lips," Green explains. Cosmetic chemist Ron Robinson agrees that all of the aforementioned ingredients offer a temporary plumping effect.Similar to getting hair extensions, Botox, or eyebrow microblading — getting lip filler — injectable hyaluronic acid — is a completely optional beauty enhancement. The kind offered by professionals can get pricey, especially considering these services may require multiple sessions to achieve the level of fullness you desire. If you want to give the look of fuller lips a very temporary test run before deciding whether or not you want to take the injectable route, lip plumpers in the form of glosses and balms are the next best thing.

Put thin, dehydrated lips to bed (literally) with this overnight lip-plumping mask from Lawless Beauty. Intended to sit on your pout while you sleep, this non-tingling mask is perfect for those that bite their lips or hate constantly reapplying a gloss every few hours. "It reminds me of a comfortable, soft balm," our tester shares. verifyErrors }}{{ message }}{{ /verifyErrors }}{{ Polyisobutene, Paraffinum Liquidum, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, Diisostearyl Malate, Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate, Silica Dimethyl Silylate, Ethylene/Propylene/Styrene Copolymer, Parfum, Phenoxyethanol, Rosa Canina Fruit Oil, Simmondsia Chinensis Seed Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Butylene/Ethylene/Styrene Copolymer, Tribehenin, Pentaerythrityl Tetra-Di-T-Butyl Hydroxyhydrocinnamate, Sorbitan Isostearate, Tocopherol, Aluminum Hydroxide, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Limonene, Linalool, Cinnamyl Alcohol, CI 15850, CI 77492, CI 77491, CI 77499, CI 77891

How long your newly plumped lips will last depends on the product. Some products boast 24 hour longwear, while others can resemble the effects of filler when applied consistently over time. When looking at lasting power, think about the occasion or outings you'll want to wear plumper to and consider your personal preference. Usually, the longer the effect will last, the better, so you don't need to worry about reapplying. A product with color may also need to be applied more often to maintain its vibrancy. Plump, pouty lips are highly sought after these days, and with such a saturated market of lip-plumping devices, glosses, and treatments available both at home and in a pro's office, it's hard to know what option is right for you. If you're looking for a less-invasive way to plump your lips, plumping balms and glosses are a great place to start. To make achieving the perfect pout easier, we set out to find the best lip plumpers. We researched the top plumpers on the market and enlisted the help of a handful of reviewers to test out the most popular options firsthand. They also have stimulant ingredients designed to increase blood flow in the lips (such as cinnamon and menthol essential oils) to make them flush and swell.

A lip plumper will moisturise and condition lips, and temporarily and subtly add volume. The effects typically last a few hours, but by conditioning the lips and improving moisture retention, some will have longer-lasting effects if regularly applied.
