Hi, Brittany,

You added a good detail in your description that I omitted – the tingle does last 5 minutes or so. It does go away. Puts me in mind of a jellyfish sting but that may be because I’ve just returned from PEI. And you got plumper lips!!! That’s good. Makeup that does what it says it will is not always easy to find. Thanks for the comment.

Well I just bought it and I get the tingle feeling as well but its bearable since it only lasts about 5 minutes. and since I have been using it regularly it hasn’t bothered me a bit. and it really DOES plump my lips.. I have virtually no top lip and even my husband has noticed. Now even without the gloss on I have much plumper lips.
I love it! But as I have noticed the tingle for some women is 2 much. As much as I encourage this buy I will say be cautious as some can’t take it.

Hi, Natasha,

I think most women would agree with us. I think it’s a sales gimmick. Maybe your lips feel a little puffier to you, but if no one else can tell, what’s the point?

Your comment is very timely because I’ve been doing a lot of research into animal testing lately. I look at http://www.leapingbunny.org , http://www.caringconsumer.com, and http://www.livingcrueltyfree.com.

The information is a little confusing. I think companies have to go through a lot more to get on the leapingbunny CCIC list but there are those (like BonneBell) who don’t test but are not on that CCIC list.
It’s an issue I carea about a lot, like you, and like so many women.

LipSmackers are still one of the greatest products out there. Fantastic performance for the price.

Thanks for drawing my attention to their non-testing policies and for your thoughtful comment.

I don’t thinking lip gloss that claims to plump up lips works either. Companies say that because they know people will buy it. It’s ridiculous. I just use Bonne Bell lip gloss since they don’t torture animals like L’Oeal and they come in great flavors. I like gloss that smells like candy.

Hey, Holly,

Glad to hear someone else feels the same way about the plumping effect. Doubtful is exactly the right word for it.
I’ll look for the Vincent Longo product. Which of his glosses and which color(s) do you own?

Hi
I have tried the lip plump glosses and I liked them; however, you may be correct in that I felt a sensation but really did my lips get fuller??? I doubt it. All that happened in the end was my husband and kids complained ever time I kissed them.
But recently I found a great lip gloss – perhaps the best find to date. Vincent Longo lip gloss. It does dry my lips or make them chapped, great natural colour, fab packaging…. I love it!
And I enjoy putting it on.
