Lip plumpers that actually work?

jacL · Coach

I don't have any experience with any of these products, but Lilykind has reviewed a bunch of them for the April/May Stylethread issue. Check it out. I hope my link works.

I didn't like LipFusion either. IMO it's a load of hype and way too expensive of a product. I don't have thin lips so I get Angelina Jolie lips with a good lip plumper. This did nada.

Of the ones I reviewed, you should definitely try Too Faced Lip Injection. Since I wrote the article, they've also come out with another version that are supposed to work even better, Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme.

I think there's tricks you can do with make-up that probably work better than those products.

i really like Too Faced Lip Injection as well.

I really don't think any of them do anything. I've tried lip venom and the two faced lip injection. The venom tingles and is a nice clear gloss. I hated everything about the two faced...the color, the texture, it didn't tingle at all....I think you are better off putting a highlighter color gloss in the middle of your lips for a fuller illusion.

I have lipinjection, but I have to warn you, it stings like a beotch. It's kind of fun, but it does hurt. Also, it really dries out your lips because it's bringing the blood to the surfact. I definitely recommend using these things only rarely. You might want to try LipVenom as well. For me it did almost exactly the same as lipinjection.
