As with most r.e.m. purchases, I adore this plumping gloss. Unlike previous reviewers, I found these to be slick and not sticky in the least. As for plumping, there seems to be moderate boost in fullness, along with a cooling feel. It feels amazing. I am obsessed with the Chuckie shade. It appears to be lavender in the tube, but is a cool mauve with a blue shift on the lip. Jelly Sandals appears as white in the tube, but is a pale pink with a blue shift on the lips. Both are sufficiently opaque to shade the lips, but transparent enough to look like gloss. This will replace my go-to afterglow gloss. Well done, r.e.m.
Let me start out by saying that I *wanted* to really like this. But, there were too many things that were not quite right that all together make this a bad lipgloss. If any one element (-ish) of the following issues had been changed, my review would be very different. - it is *super* opaque - it is THICK - the color is not flattering - it comes in a squeeze tube (NOT a doe-foot applicator) Had this been a sheer gloss, then this could have worked really well in the squeeze tube, and this color would have been fine. Had this been a different color, the thickness and opaqueness would have worked (though it still would need the applicator changed). As you may have been able to guess, I ended up using this as a topper with a dark lip liner, which looked okay. But without a topper, it is extremely streaky - I could not get a smooth and seamless application for the life of me. And, the color was SO bad for me that adding another color with a liner was necessary. As for the plumping, the gloss was definitely minty, but I didn't see any difference in my lip size (then again, that is not something I look for in a gloss, so it could just be that I am not attuned to this type of change in my lips). Overall, if you want to try out the lipgloss, I would recommend one of the sheerer options and pass on any of the opaque colors unless you can test them in person and determine that the color will indeed work for you.

I really was excited to get this. I love the shade and it is cute! But the packaging is not it..was disappointed on that one. It just feels so cheap and honestly gave me like 13 year old lip gloss vibes. I love the shade and the wear I just hate the packaging.

I like these glosses, theyre not sticky and are a bit hydrating but they do sting a little from the plumping. Only worn it twice so idk the after affects if it still continues to burn. They do smell a bit like vanilla. I got the shades 7 rings and needy, however 7 rings is missing a good chunk of product compared to the other shade I got. You can definitely tell because its pretty transparent. I wouldnt care that much if that space was there for a reason and all all of the glosses are like that but in comparison to my other full one and other ones I see online it's questionable quality control? Good thing I like needy better as I have a fuller bottle of it.

I've been using the plumping glosses since they came out last January, and I'm honestly obsessed. As a disclaimer, I never purchased any of the glittery glosses, so I can't speak on those. I love the pigment of these glosses, I think it's the perfect medium between sheer and super full coverage color. As someone that is super sensitive to textures, I actually really liked how this gloss feels. It's a tiny bit stickier than I would've wanted, but it's also much less sticky than other glosses I've tried in the past. It also feels very smooth on the lips and lasts a while before I need fo reapply. Definitely recommend.

It is so sticky and feels like a cheap lip gloss.

Uneven, sticky application.. plumping effect is minimal.. formulation and packing not practical nor worth the price. There are much better lip glosses for the price tag. Love Ari, but REM needs an overhaul. :(

My friends… this is what we have been asking for! I got Pink Razor and its quite literally what is shown on here. Its this perfect milky pink. My lips are plumped, my upper lip exists because of this gloss. Ariana killed it with this one

I have used plumping glosses before and so I was super excited to try this out. I saw the shade scrunchie recommended on YouTube and because it's a great neutral I purchased it. Holy cow this burns so bad, I had to wipe it off. There are lots of great products, and normally I love R.E.M., but this is NOT it.

I use this gloss over matte lipsticks and it jazzes up the look.

ive tried so many lip glosses and none last, shine, and have as much pigment as this. ive gotten 6 shades now and im in love with this gloss

I purchased this in the color "Scrunchie." I love the gloss itself. The color is very flattering and the tingling effect is nice, even if I didn't notice any visible plumping. The packaging, however, is less than ideal. The tube isn't very easy to squeeze and it's a pain to get product out after it's not full. This makes for awkward application. With a different style tube, I'd rate it 5 stars.

Had high hopes for this one as I loved the color but, the feeling of the gloss was way too sticky/tacky on my lips and didn't like the burning of the plumping ingredient. I used other plumping glosses like Buxom without any issue but, this product, whatever is used for that plumping ingredient didn't feel great on my lips. Returned product. Bought it in two colors initially due to my high hopes of it working out - returned both.
