Most Helpful Positive Review Works great but BE CAREFUL Loved the product it worked very well but I forgot I had it on and went to kiss my baby and sadily left a huge mark on her I'm so sad ! But other than that it does work
Most Helpful Critical Review CAUSED SEVERE RASH I applied this product VERY sparingly about 30 minutes ago and I didn't feel anything at first. Then, I experienced slight tingling but it was nothin extreme- I looked in the mirror to the see results and saw a very red patchy rash all around my mouth and on my hand and wrist where I searched the product. My lips also looked purple and bruised and hurt to touch- felt sore. I immediately removed the product, washed my lips for 10 minutes, and applied Vaseline. But still the rash kept getting darker and climbed up my face to my nose and down to my chin. I just took a Benadryl. I do not recommend this product by any means- especially if you have sensitive skin. I've never had an allergic reaction to any makeup before. The rash is starting to fade now but it sti looks terrible. Just wanted to warn others- don't make the same mistake as me. My cousin used the product as well and her lips swelled up and turned bright red as well as around her chin and mouth.

The shade was nice but the burning sensation was awful. It didn't even have any plumping effects on my lips.
Don't know about this 2
Ale from San Antonio
The guy at Ulta said it's tangerine but it doesn't come out tangerine on your lips and it's very plumping. It came out Bright red. I'm not sure if I liked it. I will have to test it out again. I'm not quite sure.
Fantastic and f1re 5
MageMagick64 from MA
I apply this in the morning 1 hr before work. I let it set on my lips for 15 minutes. There is a slight burn but it's more of a spicy tingle. After 5 minutes there's a big difference. I thrilled with the product but hate the price < 3
It's not bad, but definitely not worth the price 3
Grace from New York
I got a sample size of this product.
It feels tingly and stings at first, but that only lasts around 10 minutes. My lips did feel a bit puffier than usual, but this went away in less than an hour. If this gets on your skin, it will leave a red mark.
My favorite lip plumper… but be warned! 5
Missy13 from San Francisco, CA
I am obsessed with this lip plumper. It does an amazing job of plumping lips and it lasts so long.
That being said, please make sure it's the last thing that you apply to your face… tonight I made the mistake of applying this first before doing my nighttime skincare routine… I felt my face burning which was unusual as the skincare I used doesn't have that effect on me. I looked in the mirror and my face was beet red and burning, I had managed to drag some of the lip plumper when I was sweeping my moisturizer all over my face :( I had to wash my face and spend 20 minutes with an ice pack to get the redness and burning down. I realize it's my fault! I just want to warn others that this product is quite effective, but needs to be confined only to the lips.
A Letdown 2
Lisa from Oklahoma City, OK
It tingles, but I saw no noticeable plumping effects. The packaging looks beautiful, the product looks pearlescent and is very shiny. This may be a product that works well for people with very thin lips, but it was not a good fit for me. I won't buy again.
No outstanding plumping, but nice and shiny… 2
mlrtist from Arizona
I used this morning and night for 2 weeks. It's moisturizing and shiny and my lips looked nice, but on the last day I used this product on the left half of my lips and e.l.f. Lip Plumping Gloss on the right half and I could see absolutely no difference. So for the money, I will continue to use e.l.f.
it works but be cautious 4
CLC from Michigan
This plumper does work. In fact it permanently made some veins on the corners of my mouth expand. Not noticeable to others in a bad way and my lips remained plumper over time so...It does irritate my skin if it gets on it. My advice is not to eat or drink with it because what would it do to your insides? It does sting more than most other plumper but that's a trade off for it working more Id say. You decide.
Doesn't last long 2
TMB from Los Angeles
Great immediate results and has a nice natural plump and gives your lips a pretty rose color but it lasts maybe 15-20 mins before the plump goes away.
Not worth the money 2
Roxy from South Dakota
I'm about out of this lipgloss and it's not worth the money I paid. The tingling affect lasts the first couple of uses but after that it's just a normal lipgloss.
It's not that good 1
Row from San jose,CA
Hey, I really love this prouduct but it makes my mouth really red and blotchy be ready for your lips to tingling to.

Ok I'm an avid user hear me out 3
Ally from Pa
Ok I legit just got every version of this and the maximum, bee sting, lip gloss etc… it is THE BEST moisturizer for lips hands down, like I never touch chap stick or anything like that anymore… I always feel the 'sting' the first several uses of this stuff and then I guess I just adapt and it doesn't work anymore… but tell me why the colored gloss (not this one I'm reviewing) is the only one I felt anything from?? Like it's a menthol feel, not a sting… but even the maximum I felt nothing?!! Like I'm kinda disappointed, surely I can't be that adapted to the stuff… but just sharing my experience I guess… but as a moisturizer it's the best… as a plumper.. not so much anymore… or I am actually just THAT adapted to it. 🤷🏼♀️
It's alright I geuss 3
Kay from When fjskanrbfbsjdjbrbfbx
It plumps your lips but it makes a red ring around your mouth and I have a few red blotches on my check next to my lips. It does sting a little and make your lips red but I geuss it's alright.
Not worth it 1
Christina from Boston, MA
I bought this hoping to plump my lips a little and it really wasn't worth it. There was a very slight difference in my lips that only lasted a few minutes. It did tingle somewhat intensely, not intolerable. Because of the plumping and tingling it made my lips a nice rosy color and the gloss had a pretty shine that wasn't tacky and lasted a long time. The effect was so slight and temporary, I won't be repurchasing.
It works! Just need to get used to the stinging sensation 4
Molly from Glen Rock, New Jersey
My upper lip is so much smaller than my lower lip. This helped balance that out and now my lips look more proportional! You just need to get used to the stinging sensations if you buy it.
great size! 3
bananagrams from dekalb
i like this stuff. it does what it says it will. BUT if you have sensitive skin, only use this if you are wearing foundation. this stuff makes the skin around my lips turn bright red. can't notice it if i have makeup on, but i look like the joker if i'm barefaced.
Love this lip gloss! 5
Jenny from Ohio
This lip gloss does a great job of plumping my lips for hours! Plus the color, which is just a hint, is very flattering. There is a slight sting, but it's temporary and not prohibitive.

This was way too drying for my lips. Not worth the benefits which were minimal.
I love it. Would buy again 5

It makes my lips look bigger.

Hayls from San Angelo
I've bought every lip plumper from ulta and this is definitely my favorite. Not sticky, smells good and love the tingly sensation.
Absolutely Not 1
Shelby from USA
Maybe it's just my skin type but this absolutely destroyed my skin! I have fair skin but I've never been super sensitive to skin or makeup products. This made my lips plump but the area around my lips was inflamed for 30 min after usage. It was painful and embarrassing.
Surprisingly effective 5
A-M at 55 from Central IL
I had never tried a lip plumper of any kind and approached this product with some trepidation (due to the mixed results chronicled in the reviews). I'm 55 and my once-plush lips are thinning, especially on top, in the corners and, annoyingly, on just one side of my lower lip. Imagine my surprise when this product turned out to be exactly what I've been needing. It works so well for me. Yes, it stings for maybe five minutes, but I find it tolerable
and my results last for many hours. I only apply it to the parts/side of my lips that need to be plumped and my lips magically even out. Love it.
This Works 5

I don't know what this does, but it does do something indeed. I've been using it for a few years now. Mom (85 years old with small lips) is obsessed too. ❤️🥰💋

Luna from Dallas
like many other reviews I did at first notice this slight pink ring on the areas I used OUTSIDE of my lip line. But its non-sticky formula actually helped it seep into my lines and prevented my lips from drying out (I've tried every balm and found only liquid moisturizers work, because the molecules can get past the thin top dead layer of skin).
I have been using this once or twice a day for over a month, and applied everywhere BUT I avoided my actual lip line. No pink ring. Plump lips, no clear lines, it works. And I think I figured out why the pink ring was caused in the first place: this product says its meant to plump over time. My natural lips without this product on (like when I wake up or it wears off), are actually now more plumped and my once fading lip line is actually more VISABLE. I dont know how, but im assuming the effect it has on lip lines over time actually helped create an even, color(exact to my natural lip color) where my lip line was fading.
My skin: is sensitive, gets clogged easily. Combination.
-For the reviews about the sting: I actually don't feel it anymore as when I did when I started using it. And its a plumper, anyone who's used plumers knows the sting means its circulating blood to plump.
-Texture: NOT STICKY, it has slip, I'd kiss someone with this lol.
-APPLICATION: I would just avoid the lip line.As the remnant of the liquid spreads it plumps them just enough without leaving the pink ring. I think its because people are reacting to the immediate affect, and so they may not see the benefit of the long term effect(which is what's written on the tube, "over time"). This stuff works and I dont even feel the sting anymore, but my natural lips now look healthier than any lip balm I've tried lol. The lip line is more defined now, and it looks plump without looking unnatural, and there's no sticky glop mess.
