Avoid this Product!

I can usually find something nice to say about a product, but I had to come here to warn everyone against this stuff.

I got it as a part of a subscription box. I love trying new products and (as I'm sure you can see by my other reviews) I'm a bit of a makeup junkie. So I was excited to try a new lip pumper and the one I normally use is running low.

The first thing I noticed when I opened the tube was the smell. It smelled like disinfectant mixed with pine sol but worse. I was nervous to put this stuff on my lips after smelling it.

I am prepared to suffer for beauty, so I tried it anyway.

It wasn't too bad at first, just a gentle tingle. Most lip plumpers have a mild burning sensation, so I wasn't worried. It got worse.

I left it on for about 10 minutes. The only instructions that came with it are "apply to lips as required". Usually what I do is put lip plumper on while I do the rest of my makeup, then wipe it off at the end and apply lipstick.

10 minutes was more than enough. My nose was running, my eyes were watering and my lips actually hurt. Instead of getting used to the burning sensation, it got more and more intense.

The worst part (other than the smell, which is pretty bad), was that it kept burning after I wiped it off. I used a makeup remover wipe - didn't work. I used eye makeup remover - didn't work. I grabbed the coconut oil from the pantry - that helped a bit but ruined my foundation. It did subside on it's own after about 30 minutes. That's a long time to have burning lips.

When I looked online, all the reviews reflected my experience. This stuff isn't cheap either. I'm glad I got in in a subscription box, so I only paid a fraction of the price. Even that wasn't worth it, but better than full price.

Oh yeah, did I get nice, plump lips for all my suffering, like the product promised? Nope. Not even a little bit. For something that promises "volume, shape and definition", I got none of those things (which also matches the reviews I saw online).

Save your money and avoid the agony! Okay, I'm being dramatic, but this product sucks.

Horrible product!

I received this product in a subscription box. I was curious about it because I do have thinner lips. When I tried it, it was almost like a syrup. Super thick and very sticky. It made my lips tingle and burn in a very uncomfortable way.
Won't use again.
