Why: TotalBeauty.com readers were torn on the benefits of this lip plumper. While one user gave it a rating of 10 out of 10 because it "looks great," she admits that it can get "sticky" — an aspect that most users couldn't overlook.
Other reviewers describe the stickiness as "uncomfortable," adding that the accompanying tingle is "irritating."
Why: Reviewers agree that though the primer in this two-in-one product is useful, the plumper does not live up to expectations. "The plumper part is just like a cinnamon gloss," one user writes. "I don't even use it." Others experienced burning and allergic reactions to the plumper. "The plumper made my lips break out in a rash for a week," another reader writes. "Don't waste your money."
Lip plumpers are a cheap and instant way to get fuller, bee-stung lips à la Angelina Jolie — no needles necessary.
The best lip plumpers can subtly add shape and volume to your lips without making you look like you got punched in the kisser. A bad lip plumper, on the other hand, can leave you with red, flaky, burning lips.
So, even with non-surgical lip plumpers, there's minor risk involved. That's why we had our most courageous readers review hundreds of lip plumping products to find the best and the worst. Read on to find out which best lip plumpers are worthy of your pucker — and which ones to pass up.
