I bought this product for lip care but never really used it. One night I randomly decided to try it as an overnight undereye moisturizing treatment and found that it is nothing short of ridiculous. Next morning the area appeared tighter, firmer and wrinkles less noticible. I've been using it for a few years now and love the results.

Only problem is I've recently found out that it's been discontinued in Canada and I can't find it anywhere :( Really hoping they bring it back!

This lip treatment is just rubbish. I purchased it about a year ago in a drugstore b/c I wanted to see if it would help make my lips look fuller and smoother. Unfortunately, this stuff is just not good at all. The consistency is very thin and watery, like another reviewer has said. It is so thin that I doubt it even penetrates into the lips. The color is also pink...but an artificial pastel pink that takes awhile to soak into the lips and actually disappear. I used it for about two weeks and didn't notice a difference, so I stopped using it. It was not worth the money at all.

This stuff is pretty awesome. I definitely noticed my lips were more youthful; full and lines were barely visible. It plumped my lips nicely. I'm not really sure if it actually helped make them larger (my lips are probably medium thickness-not small at all but not enormous) but overall I definitely prefer the way my lips looked after using this product than not using this product. I really would love to buy it again. I've bought it twice already and now I can't seem to find it being sold anywhere.. probably could find it online. Hope they don't ever discontinue this. I actually really like the color of this as well. It may be a tad bit frosty though if you rub your lips together real well or let it absorb in over time it goes away. Well worth the affect and health it gives to them. Smell is not bad at all though it is not a delicious smell either. It's just kind of 'eh'.
:) Can't wait to get again.

This product did wonders for my lips as I have the kind of lips that deflate when they're not moisturised. It also filled out all the cracks/ deep lines in my lips. The taste/smell was great and it comes in a cute little tube. While I adore this product I wouldn't recommend it to someone who wanted larger, fuller lips.

I read all the reviews on here and wanted to buy this. I have used it for a month now and I can see if your lips are normal this would be a good lip balm but not for me. I find it doesn't plump my lips or even give me smooth, soft, supple lips. I won't be repurchasing.

As a moisturizer for lips, sure.. Collagen boost? No. I have used this every day, several times a day faithfully for 4 months and nothing... It does not work.

I bought this coz im addicted to lip products, especialy plumping ones! (even though i dont have thin lips!), it smells GORGEOUS, i cant describe what it smells like but its abit sweet vanilla but not overpowering, the packaging it really cute, but it makes the lip product look babypink, which its actually a white lipcream..i use this as a night treatment before bed as it makes lips SO soft and pouty, not a dramatic plumping difference but its realllly good as a lip moisturiser, i never have chapped lips with this stuff an i love how it makes them look once its sinked in! x

I can't vouch for the plumping effects because I just got this yesterday but I had really dry lips and cracks in the corners that I had bought like 10 products for but nothing worked but. And this healed them up over night. So I would repurchase just for that.

This product is still the best. It makes a difference, the more you use it. I use it 3 times a day and wow, just wow. I've seen a difference with using only once a day as well. The trick is to use it everyday.

Bleargh! This gloss is downright unpleasant. The creamy pink color is extremely pale, and ridiculously opaque. It highlights all the dry spots in my lips. The texture is odd - thin and watery, but kind of gritty at the same time. And don't get me started on the smell, it's a rancid artificial flowery scent. Does this gloss plump my lips? Well, I can't say, as I threw it out after a week, but I doubt it.

i really like the lipgloss. it has a nice, creamy texture that's not sticky or goopy at all - kind of reminds me of a cross between a l/g and a lip balm. it gives off a slight sheer hint of a creamy pink color. the price is good -- think i paid around $5usd - - which is a fair price for a good lipgloss of this type. i took off one lippie b/c i don't feel like it has any plumping effects like it's supposed to - but honestly, that's fine by me. definitely a great everyday lipgloss/balm that i constantly carry with me. i'll repurchase.

This product works alright...if you can get over the fact that it isn't "wear and go". It's white going on, and takes a minte to absorb into the lips. Unofortunately, I sort of discovered this out the hard way - needed an emergency lip moisturizing ANYTHING and grabbed this. I put it on in the car, checked the rearview before I got out. Thank god - to my surprise, I looked like I had a really serious milk-moustache. Yuck.
It tastes fine, not fruity or sweet or anything. Plus, it isn't greasy, so it won't mess up your lip-liner in the middle of the day. Overall it's okay, but I probably will not re-purchase.

I don't have thin lips, but like one reviewer stated below, Angelina has left me wanting more! I tried this a while ago, when it first came out, and was disappointed. The grainy, milky consistency left my lips feeling gross, and the plumping was minimal (if at all). I like my lipsticks/glosses to be low maintenance because I apply them several times throughout the day. I don't want to have to rub it in to my lips every time I apply, like with this product!

This is pretty good. It IS like putting lotion on your lips. I like the packaging - a pretty pink tube, with gold trim. It's a little deceiving though, because I thought the actual product was a light pink and it's not - the tube is. I don't think it actually plumps, but I didn't really expect it to. I bought it for any moisturizing properties it had to offer - and it does. Not something I think I will need to repurchase, but for what it is, it's a good product. UPDATE: Bumping up a lippie as I love this stuff. It's a good lip treatment, whatever the claims are.

Didn't live up to expectation . I have relatively full lips but that damn Angelina has made me want more ...haha ....or a fuller bursting appearance at least . Anyhow , this comes out in a thickish lotion consistency which takes a bit of rubbing in to become invisible ...also as another reviewer mentioned , I found it a little gritty which I found very weird ! Perhaps its unrefined soya bits of something !!!!

On the plus side , it moisturises really well and seems to stimulate the circulating a bit of application so it gives the appearance of fuller lips . I tried applying lipstick on afterwards as it is colourless , but it seems to resist lipstick , so I applied gloss instead which does up the plump and smooth factor .....
The scent is sort of vanilla which doesn't bother me ...and disappears after a while ....
At least this doesn't burn or sting your lips like a lot of others do (but do little for their appearance even though it feels like it !) ...

I have tried a no of lipbalms and my Dr Hauska is coming to an end ...I didn't find that work exceptionally well either altho , applied before bedtime , woke up to soft lips which seemed to dry out less in an air-conditioned environment ...so that was worth it ....

Still on the trail for the holy grail .....!
Any suggestions ?

EDIT :
I actually love this product ...it which smells like milkshake and looks and tastes like it too ....
It gives a moisture boost to the lips which can be applied under lipstick
and I use it as a lip treatment before bedtime which hydrates my lips on waking ....

The 24-hour hydrating lip balm in a stick form is also good and does similar although I didn't find that the moisture was held on my lips as long....

I really don't have thin lips to start with, but like others that reviewed this product, I was curious. I think the tube is kind of cute, and the slant tip is *amazing*. However, I don't think it did a thing for my lips, and it doesn't even provide any color. The last time I tried it it seemed a little grainy. It's not the worse, but I'll try something else next time I'm tempted to get a lip plumper.

The packaging of this lip treatment is a tube with golden trimming haha (not sure why they use the color gold). The color looks baby milky pinkish on the outside, but when you actually apply on the lips, it turns invisible when smudged. This product promises to give fuller lips (volume). So far, it does moisturize my lips well and my lips does look a but fuller because it moisturizes the rims of my lips as well. The smell comes out at first like coconut, but after about a minute, it smells like nothing. It's not glossy at all, which is good because I don't think that lip treatments should be glossy personally. The texture is not sticky... it's pretty smooth altogether. I'm going to try this out for awhile and see if it fulfills my needs of making my lips fuller since my lips are so thin due to me biting on them all the time.

Edit: It does make my bottom lips look fuller when I'm using it, which is amazing. Something I might complain about is that it doesn't moisture my lips for long.

I liked this product. But i didnt expect any immediate plumping effects, I find that the cream plumpers just moisturise REAllY well, so your lips look fuller from that. I am a smoker, so i like that it does a good job of moisturising really really well.
I also like the smell, and the fact that it lightens my lips. I am quite pale and can never just make my lips a bit paler by using lipstick, they all seem a bit too dark. I have been using a yellow toned base andlip gloss to tone down my lips,but this works perfectly.
So it depends on what your after. So far i am happy. Will update on the on the plumping.
But for the price its worth a shot!

Ugh. I got this stuff yesterday because I was replacing my Sally Hansen Lip Inflation [which worked really well], then I saw this and decided to try it instead. Psh, when I got in the car and put it on, I was dissapointed that it looked like lotion and wasn't glossy at all. Then, I noticed it did NOTHING to my lips, but make them look whitish and matte. Wouldn't reccommend.
