Before & After
Lisa's Verdict
The very first thing that caught my attention was the delightfully fresh, sugary scent. The formula glided on effortlessly with a silky, non-sticky finish that made application a breeze.
It delivered a cool sensation rather than any discomfort — just a gentle, refreshing tingle. The result was a beautifully natural boost that never felt exaggerated.
I also enjoyed wearing it solo, without layering anything on top.

Before & After
Reena's Verdict
I was won over instantly by the silky, weightless texture. It lacked any stickiness whatsoever, which is always a deal-breaker when I'm shopping for lip products.
Despite the comfort, there was a clear and quite powerful tingling sensation that lingered for a good while.
I noticed a real difference in plumpness, which I absolutely loved. My lips appeared noticeably fuller, gleamed with shine and felt beautifully moisturised!
Too Faced Lip Injection, £19
This gloss makes bold claims of expanding your lips by an impressive 20%, all while ensuring they remain comfortable, hydrated, silky and perfectly kissable.
Before & After
Cat's Verdict
I'm completely obsessed with the fragrance — it has the most delicious candy-shop aroma.
When I applied it, the finish was incredibly glossy, though admittedly a touch sticky. Even so, the texture remained pleasant to wear.
After a few minutes, the tingle intensified, and my lips looked noticeably plumper. The boost in volume was impossible to miss.
Buxom Full On Lip Cream, £15
Completely free of glitter and shimmer, this cream provides a stunning natural shine while also adding volume to the lips. With a tint built into the formula, it works as a single-step solution for achieving full, gorgeous lips.
Before & After
Lauren's Verdict
The moment I applied it, I was impressed by the buttery-smooth texture — such a pleasure on the lips!
A subtle tingle kicked in initially, then built up over time. After roughly ten minutes the sensation calmed down, leaving behind voluptuous, pillowy lips!
I also adored the hint of tint, which made the final effect feel beautifully natural and effortlessly understated.
