Just a heads up—this is the strongest plumping lip gloss I’ve ever tried. It starts working almost immediately. I applied a thin layer, and the tingling quickly turned into a pretty intense burning sensation. If you’re sensitive to plumping glosses or don’t like that “spicy” feeling, this probably isn’t the one for you. That said, once the burning subsided, I did notice that my lips looked noticeably fuller, so it definitely does what it claims. The formula itself is actually really nice—it’s a clear gloss that gives a super shiny, smooth finish without feeling sticky. Overall, aside from the intense burn, it’s a great gloss with real plumping results—but definitely approach with caution if you’re sensitive.

This lip plumping gloss does seem to work and I was actually pretty impressed! I wouldn’t say it’s anywhere near the effect of injections, but it did seem to bring some more blood flow for fuller lips pretty quickly! There is some tingling upon application, but not burning. It does have a nice clear shine to it, and if you want a color underneath, I still felt the effects with a lipstick base. Just be mindful to try not and lick your lips or kiss people while it’s fresh because the tingling does transfer! I feel like the process point of $17 is fairly reasonable in comparison to other name brand similar products

I don't usually love clear lip glosses, but this one really surprised me. The tube is smaller than most of the lip balms I have seen from different brands but I don't know any actual amounts. The gloss itself is extremely shiny, is not too thick or sticky and the plumping ingredients, though a little spicy, are not painful. My lips definitely plumped up, but it is not extreme. I would say it is a really good and reliable clear lip plumper, that is shiny, a great topper and isn't too sticky. It is a solid choice and isn't too expensive. I don't usually like clear lip glosses, but I can definitely see myself re buying.
