Lip Plumpers - Injection-free

Microspheres, tiny molecules, are a third plumping mechanism used in some products. They contain ingredients that are supposed to sponge up moisture from surrounding tissue and help the lips retain fluid. The microspheres in LipFusion, for example, contain dehydrated collagen molecules derived from fish.

But to the extent that microspheres or any other ingredients work, dermatologists say their effect is subtle. "They really work like spackling does to a wall," said Dr. Leslie Bauman, the director of cosmetic dermatology at the University of Miami, who routinely plumps her patients' lips with hyaluronic acid fillers. "They fill in the creases on the lips, making them look smoother. It gives you the optical illusion of shine and increased size. If you actually measured the size, there would not be an actual difference."

now im depressed, i wanted to try the lipfusion, which does whats posted above :cry:
 
Just don´t try Lip Explosion! Its disgusting!!!!

I tried it in a store and had to wipe mine off just after a few seconds as it made my lips sore, dry, a funky color...bleurgh!!!!!!!!
 
I used the Lip Plumper by Victoria's Secret and the "swelling" was minimal so it looked quite natural in my opinion
 
Sephora's flash lip plumper is NOT good.
I bought it and I swear that I was in acute pain and my lips were so not Angelina Jolie.

I do not recommend it. x
 
the lip fusion i tried was from sephora. it was the kind with the least amount of gloss to it.
 
My friend ( whom I am currently supporting ), has this great makeup find, that makes your lips plump without the sting , it's called a "contouring lipgloss", it's written on her blog.
 
I bought Duwop's: LIP VENOM. If you have it and it hasnt worked for you; I would recommend you: apply it a bit outside of your lipline, let it sit, then wipe the excess off.
 
brush your lips with an old toothbrush, it really does make them look bigger. i do already have quite a pout though, so i dunno if it'd have a noticable effect on very thin lips but worth a go!
 
^ I usually do that before applying gloss... exfoliate my lips with a toothbrush... but the results only last for about 20 minutes. :flower:
 
I like lip fusion. i have a bad habbit of licking my lips and it tastes really yummy. I just hope that it doesnt make my tongue plumper if i keep doing it!

I have not tried this (I have full lips), but I would venture to guess the sensation varies from person to person, in part depending on how sensitive your skin is (which I believe is related to how close the blood vessels are to the surface). But a tingling sensation (you often get it from other products like masques) means that your skin is being irritated. Many people believe it means the product is "working," so in turn many manufacturers add the ingredients (like menthol) that makes people believe this.

But, if your skin is tingling or burning, what's happening to it is not good. This is the reason we can feel pain in all its variations--so that we can stop doing what is causing it :p We are just a bit out of touch with our animal selves right now & have forgotten :doh:

agree 100%!!
people need to understand that manufacturers put stuff on the market to make money.
 
I just bought Lip FusionXL due to rave reviews from the sales associate at the beauty store. She says out of all the lip plumpers they have, it's always the first to sell out. At $50 a pop, it better do what it says and more! We'll see...I'll check back w/my results...My first rant: I wish the packaging was clear so we know how much product there is.

i agree with sally hansen plumping products.
They are disgusting.
i Bought lip injection the shiny gloss and it is so sticky and makes my lips literally feel frozen. instead of a slight tingly sensation that most lip plumpers have.
And also the fact being that they're was no testers for sally hansens lip products and they are already packaged was a real turn off. as i just have to trust what the mags say... and the mags were wrong. :P
i'm sick of lip plumpers that now i'm just going to have a filler injections this christmas. for that kate moss pout.
 
i'm trying to figure out how to make something that does the same thing. i have noticed that drinking cold milk (only milk, water and other stuff doesn't do the trick) makes your lips darker in color and plumper.
 
Not a miracle, just an optical illusion, adding an extra dollop of lip gloss in the middle of your bottom lip makes them look fuller.
