The Best Lip Plumpers and the Worst
Lip plumpers are rather hit and miss when it comes to effectiveness. The article below, syndicated from Total Beauty focuses on trying to find the best lip plumpers, which they apparently define as a “pain free” lip plumper that works. Frankly, I don’t think such a thing exists. Lip plumpers that actually work do so by irritating the lips, causing them to swell. Although I would not use the word “pain” for the sensation, the best lip plumpers do tingle and such, some rather strongly! But I actually like the lip plumping sensation.
Anyway, apparently Total Beauty readers don’t care for Maybelline Volume XL, which I happen to rather like because, as far as lip plumpers go, it actually shows some results. They liked Patricia Wexler, which I think is a nice gloss, but not a very effective plumper. In fact the reader favorites tend to be nice glosses, which make for nicely kissable lips, but I don’t find them to actually do much plumping. I have not, however, tried the favorite in the list.
Do you have a favorite lip plumper? If so, please share it in the comments!

 Jealous of Angelina Jolie’s lips? Our loyal readers share the lip plumpers that gave them just the right amount of plumping, shine and color, as well as the ones that gave them red, swollen, bee-stung lips. Ouch. |

Philosophy puts out a number of tube lip glosses in very tasty flavors. The gloss itself is also non-sticky and super shiny. But mostly, the reason to buy these is for the smell and taste. Below is a selection:

Five Top Holiday Beauty Gifts
Here are my top five holiday lip items that are great either as gifts or for yourself!
(1) Sephora Favorites Lip Service Deluxe Sampler ($119 Value) Lip Service Deluxe Sampler: Sephora Favorites are a great way to try a number of products at a great price. Sephora does a nice job at putting these together with quality items, and they make a great gift or a good personal sampler.
(2) Fresh Sugar Rose Lip Treatment SPF 15 : Fresh Sugar Rose is delightful, but a bit on the expensive side. That is why it is a great gift or personal splurge item.
(3) MAC Lip Kit : MAC Cosmetics always put out a nice set of lip kits for the holidays.
(4) NARS ‘D. Lovely’ Lip Gloss Duo Set: Nars put out this great lip gloss selection for the holidays.

Amazing Cosmetics Lipstick and Gloss
was at Ulta and the Amazing Cosmetics rep happened to be at the store, so I had my face done and walked away with two new favorite lip items, plus I found a pressed bismuth free mineral makeup that I like (link goes to my Beauty and Fashion Tech review), so it was a banner shopping day! Below is the overall look using Amazing Cosmetics Suede Eyeshadow Collection in Wheat, Amazing Cosmetics Lipcolor
in Oliva, Amazing Cosmetics Lipgloss
in Kathy, Amazing Cosmetics Blush Matte
in Pink Chocolate, and Amazing Cosmetics Velvet Mineral Pressed Powder Foundation
in Light Golden.
The lip products are fantastic. The lipstick is ultra creamy, moisturizing, and wears very well. I get as long of wear from it as I get from my other top favorite brands (Dior, Bobbi Brown, and Laura Geller). Then, the lip gloss is highly tinted, yet not a bit sticky. It can be hard to find a well tinted gloss that doesn’t get a least a little sticky. This one is perfect both in color and in feel! The Amazing Cosmetics shades are also very nice. Both are a pinky/brown (more pink than brown) and are very flattering and neutral.
You can find Amazing Cosmetics at Ulta and Sephora.
