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!

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.

Amazing Cosmetics Look

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.
