Do Lip Plumpers Really Work?
February 4, 2008
This was a question posed to me by a Myspace ad. Sadly enough. After considering it, I decided this would be a good thing to create a brief article about.
The short answer is "Yes, lip plumpers really do work".
Most lip plumpers work by stimulating the thin layer of skin on top of the lips. This draws blood cells up and gives the lips a more full appearance. Many lip plumpers contain collagen stimulating and moisturising ingredients that add to this plump pouty look. Moisturised lips look significantly fuller then their dried out counter parts. Numerous products claim to have this plumping effect, and from experience I can say that some definitely work better then others.
First off, I think products that contain menthol and other "minty" feeling/smelling ingredients don't work very well. A product that is well known is the Lip Venom by DuWop. It is a good product for lip plumping. BUT!!! 5/5 Stars will go to the Too Faced Lip Injection. This product can be found in Sephora, Ulta and off amazon.com. Too Faced cosmetics has a line of pseudo plastic surgery cosmetics that work frighteningly well. Their Lip Injection lip plumper is an incredible product. When first applied the plumper creates an almost stinging sensation that will instantly cause the lips to swell. Keep using it over time and I am willing to gurantee you will have a sexier pout then ever before. It has mineral oils and jojoba oils as well so you are getting those moisturising benefits on the side.
So lick those lips and work the runway sweetheart!
