No. 6: Fusion Beauty LipFusion XL, $50

TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 6.9*
Why: Readers call this product a "very expensive, glorified lip gloss/plumper that doesn't work." "Lip plumping? Sure, in the sense that your lips become irritated with the ingredients and therefore slightly swell in response," scoffs one reader. "After multiple uses, your lips get very dry and painful," claims another reader. One reader even says it caused her lip to become "irregular" -- "Some parts of my lip line were plumper than others." Don't expect this product to help your lips "blossom," says another reader. At best, "the only thing I got for my $50 was moisturized lips."

You can feel the sensation when you apply this product Love the color assortment! Does not do much in regards to plumping from what I have seen on both me and others

I have tried like over 20 lip plumping glosses and I'm never satisfied with the results after using them - maybe this is because my lips are very very thin so they dont have much of an effect on me. I am not a fan of the maybelline XL plumper, this didnt do anything for me. I have however recently found a new product that they call a 'lip plumping device' and its made by 'the lip plumping Shop'. It is a plastic lip pump not a gloss (however it does come with a plumping gloss as well) and you use it to make your lips bigger. Out of all the plumpers I've tried, this is the only one that has actually worked so I def recommend giving it a shot. I'm glad someone thought of this idea.

I used to buy the Avon lip plumper and I agree that it works great! I love that stuff and it is so much better than Buxom, Victoria's Secret, etc. but I can only find it in colors. It used to be offered with no color so I could use it under my favorite lipsticks but then it stopped being in their catalogs but is still on their website. The rep. I bought from is not selling anymore. Does anyone know if you have to buy from a rep. because I could not find a way to buy directly from their site?

Avon sounds good but do we have to find a rep? I also use Buxom (have two colors)they're good but not the end all.

The comment is actually mine below, which still signs in by a canceled account. I have received such a product and after reading this, decide maybe to pass it on to someone else.

After reading some of the information here, I think I will skip this type of product. I received one in a set and my lips are fine in that respect, so glad I caught this.

I like Buxom and DuWop Lip Venom!

Buxom lip glosses are a 2 in 1! Lots of plump and color!
