As has been previously established, I am a frequent victim of what I like to cleverly refer to as "lizard lips." It doesn't matter how much gloss or balm or whatnot I smear all over their surface, how much water I drink, nor whether or not I regularly treat my lips with some crazy at-home spa treatment -- think scrub, masque, moisturizer, sealer.
I am cursed with dry, wrinkly, cracked lips.
Earlier this week, I attended a cluster training class for work, and was given a full-size Lip Fusion XL lip plumping product. My first thought upon its receipt was, "Woo hoo, now I can put it away with all of the numerous other lip plumpers I have received as gratis and never use. I wonder if I can sell it on eBay..." because I have never considered myself in need of a good lip-plumping.
I have a horrible camera grin, and one of my lips is slightly less cupid's bow-endowed on the left side, but I have never taken issue with the relative pillowy fullness of my smackers. I have even, in the past, been informed by more than one makeup artist that I have nice, just full-enough lips.
And most lip plumpers work by introducing an irritant or stimulant -- it mostly depends on who is talking up the product at the time -- to the delicate labial surface, creating increased blood flow and swelling in the area.
Or, in my case, horrorific burning and stinging from the cinnamon terpenoids or the phenol capsacin. Swelling, stinging, burning, rashiness and other "Oh my God make it stop make it stop Ow Ow Ow Holy Hell my lips are on fire!" types of sensations.
But then, immediately after I was given the Lip Fusion XL, I was informed that it worked through a completely different mechanism, is non-irritating, and would make my lips smooth, soft, and wrinkle-free. However, it's the sort of thing to be used at bedtime, because it was so strong it could potentially create issues if used constantly during the daytime. Call it a night time treatment for the lips.
So, I gave it a whirl when I got home, and was gratified to learn for myself that it didn't burn or sting, my lips got all full and luscious, and were smooth, soft, and devoid of any lizardy characteristics.
And now, I must shamefully admit that I am addicted to lip plumper.
At work, you can often find me at the Lip Fusion tester center, smushing a disposable lip brush into a tube of Blush Lip Fusion Gloss, muttering that my lips aren't smooth enough, or that they're starting to look deflated.
But happily, I have discovered that Sovage Lip Plumper also doesn't irritate my lips while still creating plumpness, and I just happen to own an unused, full-size tube of Sovage Lip Plumper from some previous vendor gratis experience.
So I can keep be my Angelina-iest (so not even close to that, but still, I can pretend) at all times.
