Plump or Stumped?

I'm a big fan of two types of cosmetics- Lip gloss and mascara. I have a severe weakness for these two guys. You might catch me wandering aimlessly through the aisles of Duane Reade on my lunch break with the newest mascara and/or lip gloss in-hand. That's just me. If it's new- I need to try it. Recently, I purchased the VolumeXL Seduction Lip Plumper in the "Seductively Nude" color which Adriana Lima sports on the display advertisement. I LOVE the color- doesn't really plump though. Yet, it does give you that slight stinging sensation. It isn't the best lip plumper but its a great lip gloss- it lasts long and has a great shine.
Damage Control: $9.25



Lip Fusion by Fusion Beauty: I'm ashamed to even say I purchased this one. This is the most I have ever paid for any type of cosmetic! For something so ridiculously expensive I just knew Meagan Good would have to move over. HA!! Boy, was I ever so wrong. Overall- good, long lasting gloss, slight (unnecessary) sting and nice soft scent.
Damage Control: $36.00



Too Faced Lip Injection: This lip plumping lip gloss seemed to really do the job, perhaps a little too well. It did give me that "bee-stung" look, although I really DID look as if I'd gotten stung by not one, but several bees. My face broke out into red splotchy patches. Though the blotchiness didn't last long, it was enough for me not to use it again. However, my lips did swell and become fuller for about ten minutes. The sting factor on this gloss is also really strong. I don't really recommend it.
Damage Control: $18.50


I hope this helps... Save your money honeys!
