Didn't work for me

The one I picked is a pretty color but, as far as plumbing my lips, I seen no difference at all. I would like to return it actually, I have tried a lot of these products and had high hopes but I'm once again disappointed. Thats my honest review. I wish it had worked.

I followed the hype and it didn't pay off. Lip plumper- I think not. My lips are exactly the same as when I wear nothing. The product doesn't last very long on my lips. Constantly reapplying. Disappointed

Hi Nancy, we're sorry to hear this. Results vary for everyone, which is why we offer a 30-day Refund Promise. Many users see the best results with twice-daily use for 30 days. For best results: exfoliate first, apply to clean/dry lips, and use a generous amount at night and twice a day consistently.

I dont like the way the gloss runs outside of my lips . The tingling doesnt bother me . I used a coyple of times but sadly wasnt a fan of It.

Formula feels good on my lips but it did not make them look full or plump. I think its in the illusion of the gloss. Sad to say I was disappointed.

For the price, I do not think it does what it claims. My lips are not plumping. I put it on 2 to 3 times a day and still do not get the results expected.

I wanted to love this, as the ads have it sounding promising, of course. But it is soooo sticky. I can't get past that. So I can't speak on any potential benefits, though I did notice a slight burn after applying.

Very sticky and it does not do what it says my lips do not get any plumper!

There is nothing special about tbis lip gloss. Absolutely no plumper effect. Nice shine is all.

Nothing special about this item. It smells bad and is very sticky on the lips. I would not buy again

Product was fine but was not so exceptionally unique from any other lip moisturizer. Does not plump. Not worth the money

Kyle P. Verified buyer

I have been using as directed… havent seen any plumping benefits. They are more hydrated.

Abby K. Verified buyer

Unfortunately, it did not plump up my paper thin lips as advertised. It does however provide a nice gloss without a chemical taste.

Kelly L. Verified buyer

Not as great as i hopef it would be. The lip gloss is thick and sticky.

J
Jennifer J. Verified buyer

This did not plump my lips. This is why I bought this lip gloss. The positive thing about this is its long wearing and not sticky.

C
Christine H. Verified buyer

I don't find that is anything special or different from other prodects that say they do the same things. Not worth the money.

It didnt work, it glossed your lips untill you had your first drink, i paid £42 total waste of money.

Hi, we're glad you've been loving the other shades, even if Cherry wasn't the right color for you. We hope you continue enjoying your favorites!
