From the silver screen to the runway and every magazine in between, actresses and models flaunt lusciously full lips and we all want to know how to get them. Since most of us weren’t born with Angelina Jolie’s pout, and a visit to the plastic surgeon for collagen injections isn’t exactly appealing to everyone, here are some amazing lip plumping products that Hollywood starlets and models use to gain major pout without getting close to a needle.
The choices for lip plumping glosses are limitless and almost overwhelming. Practically all cosmetic lines now carry at least one product that promises you a Scarlett Johansson pout, but not all may necessarily deliver. Look for products that contain menthol, chili pepper extract and cinnamon, all of which are botanicals that naturally boost circulation to the surface of your skin. Other products that make good on their promises have high tech ingredients and formulas that also stimulate your circulation as well as your natural collagen production.
One of the most popular lip plumpers in the industry is Dior’s Lip Maximizer which retails for $29 and comes in a delicious vanilla mint, collagen infused gloss which not only gives your lips an instant temporary boost, but also promises to increase the volume of your pout long-term with results in as little as 15 days. Besoplex also promises immediate results with its methyl nicotinate and collagen blend which safely stimulates circulation in the lips which makes for major volume and at $45.99 beats a visit to your local cosmetic surgeon.
Sephora is not to be left behind in its lip plumping expertise. Their house brand has come out with the Professionel Flash Lip Plump which retails for a mere $6 and gives your lips an instant fullness along with a fresh, minty tingle and can be worn alone as a gloss or under your favorite lipstick. Another inexpensive but fantastic choice in lip plumpers is Jane Cosmetics cinnamon and green apple belnd which for $5.99 enhances the natural line of your lips for a fuller look. Another money saving choice is Sally Hansen’s Lip Inflation which gives your lips a high gloss and adds a little pouty volume without being overly sticky, like other glosses tend to be.
Urban Decay is known for its fun, and daring cosmetics, so it’s no surprise that their Blow Lip Plumper is a major hit. The Blow Lip Plumper retails for $17 and has a high tech formula that actually works beneath the surface of your lips to plump them up which makes for longer lasting results. Souvage’s Dermatologic Laboratories’ Instant Lip Plumper is another high tech choice with a bit higher price tag of $49.95 but is one of the more multi-purpose choices. Souvage’s Lip Plumper does more than swell the surface of your lips, it actually refines and reshapes the contour, size and color of your lips and diminishes lip wrinkles.
Last but not least is YSL’s Shiny Lip Plumper which, unlike most other lip enhancing glosses, comes in a beautiful array of colors. YSL’s lip plumping line comes in glossy pink, brown and plum and is made with an exclusive blend of microspheres and a hyalufix complex which rebalances the volume of your lips for a naturally fuller appearance.
Having full lips doesn’t have to remain a fantasy anymore. With all of the great lip plumping products on the market, you don’t have to worry about the pain or expense of injections. You can buy your new pout on-line or at your local cosmetic retailer. So go out and give Ms. Jolie a run for her money!
