For ELF, this is a good product. I like the tingly feeling of the white "plumping" side, and the color looks great on me.

This is actually much better than I had anticipated. The tingle is pleasant, and the scent/taste just makes me feel so fresh. It isn't super sticky, either. The tint can be layered for the deep color presented in the tube, but looks cute even in only one layer. After letting this sit though you can see a little plumping action, but not much.

Edit: Over time you get a bit used to it, and sooner or later it's just kids' stuff. Average, nothing grand.

This is a great colour on me (the tinted side, that is! LOL). It definitely is sheer, but very buildable; I wore it tonight and got it to look like the shade in the tube, at least until I layered the other side over top - then it became a medium pink. I would say that "glaze" is a good description of the consistency of this, although not too sticky.


This lip glaze is a good value in that you get 2 products in one (I thought the packaging was quite nice): the tinted side, and the white frosty gloss, which I suppose you could use for other products if you wanted (see my problem with it below). ELF has really nice colours in this line, but unfortunately I have no urge to try them... the coloured side goes on slightly tingly, but the gloss side BURNS like no other! It was extremely distracting for around half an hour. If this is what lip plumping is, I want no part of it :( Another strange thing is that, while I tasted a slight minty taste, my boyfriend (after nearly obliterating the poor lip glaze), started frantically rubbing his tongue, saying that he had "a chemical taste that nothing was supposed to taste like" in his mouth.


If you think you're woman enough to handle that and you're aching for plumper lips, I say go for it... just make sure they don't look too kissable.

I fell in love with ELF Plumping Lip Glaze formulas ever since the first one I purchased and bought more! The white/sheer side is where the plump is. It's not an amazing plumper but it does a great job since it gets rid of the lines on the lips and gives it a nice pout without the burn or looking ridiculous. You can use it under any other lipglosses and it'll work. The scent is kind of menthol and has the same cool menthol tingling sensation.


I give Ruby Kiss a 4. I know ELF is known for very sheer lip colours and I wasn't expecting this to be bright red, but I expect a bit more pigment. It can be built with layers but initially it looks close to Fire Coral with less shimmer. Ruby Kiss is more of a watermelon shade. Good for summers and is a great colour but its just very decieving in the packaging.

I love the tingle. The color is nice. You can make it as light or dark as you like by adding layers. Great price and small and compact for a small purse. I am still not sure about the plumping yet.

This goes on super tingly, but I didn't notice any plumping effects. That's okay, because I love everything else about this. The color side looks very red in the tube, but actually gives a sheer red effect. Love the minty smell. AND IT'S ONLY ONE DOLLAR!

Very pretty, sheer, clear cherry red color gloss. The tube is double-ended, one end is an opalescent plumping side (put this on first) that smells and tastes of peppermint and tingles, and the other side is the pretty cherry red color (this goes on top on the plumping glaze). So pretty! And the plumping works better than any lip plumper I've tried before! Good quality stuff - I'm shocked it's only $1.00. 5 lippies!

Deep red in the tube, more of a tint on the lips. Easy to build up though. The plumping side kind of works, but I just love the tingle!

Usually I can't use plumping glosses as they burnnnn my lips like crazy and I end up getting a sort of rash and no plump at all anyways.

Try it!

I guess it doesn't really plump, but what plumper does plump? lol It is very minty, or something, so it gives you a bit of a tingle for the first 5 or 10 minutes after application. Many people, including myself, like the feeling. As you can see in the picture of this product, the color is very rich looking. However, it's not, so I knocked off a point. I had thought it would be a little bit more darker, but it comes out on your lips as a sort of darker pink, not a dark red. Oh well, it's still nice! And I would buy it again.

For $1 I wasn't expecting much but this was surprisingly nice! The color is very wearable and blottable, and the plumping side tingles like mint would. The texture is thick and soft so it's great over lipstick. I will prob want to try the other colors next!
