Three Pain-Free Lip Plumpers

In this day and age, it's easy to make your lips look plumper.

In this day and age, it's easy to make your lips look plumper. The hard part is finding a lip-plumping product that won't leave your mouth inflamed and burning with pain. I've sampled my fair share, and some of the products are just downright scary. DuWop Lip Venom produces a persistent burning sensation, while my experience with Freeze 24/7 Plump Lips Ice Sticks left me looking like I'd eaten too many jalapeño peppers.

Fortunately, there are some great lippies out there that give you a full, sexy pout without any pain. Here are three I've found, but if you know of others, tell me below.

Rather than go for immediate plumpness, LORAC Lotsa Lip Plumping Lipstick ($18.50) is designed to increase fullness over time by stimulating collagen and moisturizing your lips. I used this creamy lipstick for about a month, and while I wouldn't say my lips looked bigger, they definitely looked fluffed and fuller. Plus, it feels great.

Makeup Review: Tallulah Cosmetics Glossary Super Gloss

A few weeks ago, I introduced you to Glossary, a line of lip glosses from Tallulah Cosmetics. I've since had the pleasure of trying some, and I have to say, Glossary stands out even among the many lip glosses I sample every week, and it fulfills all of the promises it puts forth.

This soothing, sunscreen-packed gloss ($16) is a great alternative to lip plumpers, which I don't like because they tend to make my lips sting. Tallulah's products simply make your lips appear plumper, using a mineral called mica to reflect light. Though the effect is subtle, it's definitely noticeable. The glosses have a mirror-like surface, forming a shiny rim around the lips for a very pretty effect. For the rest of the details, read more

I've had some bad experiences with lip-plumping glosses that sting or irritate my mouth.

I've had some bad experiences with lip-plumping glosses that sting or irritate my mouth. So I'm very interested to try the new volumizing lip glosses by Tallulah Cosmetics. Founded by a first-grade teacher from Kentucky named Amy Wheeler, Tallulah launched Glossary — its first product — in December. Because these products are mineral based, Glossary is designed to give your pout a long-lasting plumpness without inflammation.

Glossary's secret ingredient is mica, which reflects light and hugs the skin to create the appearance of plumper lips. The lip gloss also contains Vitamin A to smooth your lips and SPF 15 to protect them from the sun. For more details, read more
