I posted here a few weeks ago because I was thinking of having lip enhancement, but Tbh I am very scared and a big chicken, so have decided to go for plumpers instead. These two sound promising

I know they are not permanent, but they do have HA inside them.

Too faced lip plumper is really good, it lasts for ages and really works!

banter I wear too faced and it is really good, but it doesn't last on me, maybe 20 min max.
nigella I am not sure, think it is too good to be true, but sounds better than injections.

City Lips is the best Lip plumper I have tried.

My upper lip has been shrinking for the past 5 years or so and I thought I was starting to look a little bit like a turtle. A friend said that I should try a lip plumper to help that a little.

I tried a bunch but had trouble finding one that worked. I was considering injections when I stumbled upon a coupon for CITY LIPS. I tried it and never went back. I love it the most because it makes my upper lip a little bigger and smooths out the skin on my lips so they are wrinkle free!

I try to remember to put the stuff on everyday now.

I should learn not to click on these links. I have gullible and have no willpower. Now I want sodding City Lips or whatever they are called.

shop.duwop.com/lip-venom-lip-plumper-lip-gloss.aspx I bought this one but I do look straight from TOWIE when I put it on. It works. I only use it very rarely as its a bit full on for every day use - I have fairly full lips anyway so dont want to go OTT.

I was thinking of having lip enhancement, but am terrified, I have actually looked into buying city lips, god I'm tempted now. I wear too faced and love the look, but it only lasts 15 sodding minutes.
Claire how long did you have to wait to see results?

Oh and do you use the advanced or original formula claire?

Been checking reviews and City Lips seems to get very mixed ones and is difficult to get in the UK. Shipping is $30 which seems a little extreme.

I already use Dior Lip Maximiser and quite like the effect plus it gets much better reviews on Make Up Alley which makes me dubious.

Will check out Lip Venom too though kiss

Be interested to hear from Claire again. Come back Claire.

Yes come back and report claire. I think city lips original formula is the one to go for, from what I have read the new advanced is not liked, and the results are not the same.

I don't think any plumper really plumps lips unless they contain chili peppers but those ones really sting, they're painful and they irritate the skin, with prolonged use they do more harm than good. DuWop's Lip Venom and Urban Decay's Lip Plumper your-style-guide.com/best-lip-gloss-for-plumping/ are a couple of examples.

New age plumpers contain microspheres of marine collagen and hyaluronic (sp?) acid said to plump lips but some clinic analyst did a report online which discovered that these molecules were too big to penetrate the porous skin on lips so they just end up remaining on surface and don't really plump. Brands include Lipfusion, Physician's Formula Lip Potion, etc.

Despite this, I love Lipfusion (regular, not XL, not Plump&Replump) the best for these reasons:

  • Texture - smooth, non-sticky, moisturizes and heals chapped lips
  • Colors - all translucent tints none too opaque which is a great accompaniment to the smoky eye look
  • Lightweight
  • Tasteless
  • Nice angle of flocked applicator
  • Long-lasting for a gloss
  • Nice minty tingling numbing feel (vs burning)
