I love this. I bought 605 on a whim at Walgreens because it was going to be free after the rebate. I LOVE trying new products for cheap or free..LOL

I figured that even if it didnt plump, it would still be a nice color I could use. To my surprise it did plump. My lips get a cool minty feeling. Not burning at all.

To me, the price is good. I usually by MAC products so $6 for a plumping lip gloss is cheap. I'll be buying this one again, FOR SURE..

i got this one in the color born with it, really light pinkish color. i just put it on a couple of minutes ago, it does have a tingling sensation but nothing too severe. my lips do look slightly more plump, feels more plump than it looks lol. after a while the color sort of becomes more sheer because, i guess this is what happens with all lip plumpers, when ur lips plump up ur natural lip color sorta reddens or become more pigmented ya kno. overall a nice lip plumper, leaves a nice glossy finish, i'd probably buy again in another color

I wanted to treat myself today while grocery shopping so I saw this and picked it up. I figured that this really wouldn't plump my lips but I thought I'd give it a try anyway. I learned my lesson with the shine seduction colors and bought the next to the darkest shade, 505, which is pinky red in the tube. When I put this on I was shocked to find out that this is like lip duwop lip venom as far as tingling and my lips were slightly more succulent. I'm very surprised to find something like this from Maybelline and I also really like the color. It's a "just ate a raspberry popsicle" pinkish red that is very flattering on me. I might go back and try the darkest shade for this gloss is fabulous!!

I bought this because I saw the product demo on the Maybelline website. Stupid me did NOT know it was a plumping gloss and I just really liked the way it looked. Found it at Target today and put it on as soon as I got in the car. Ouch! It took about 5 minutes for the tingling to wear off. It wasn't a mild tingle, but a pretty intense burn -- like I'd just rubbed my lips in hot pepper sauce. I do admit that it looked great over the lipstick I was wearing (I got the lip gloss in nude) and alone is a very nice gloss. Not sticky, but just the right amount of shine and gloss. I do think $7.99 is pretty steep for a gloss, but based on what I've read, it's a steal if you're looking for an alternative plumping gloss to the over $20 ones that are popular. I did notice a slight plumping, but nothing dramatic. The packaging is great and you can twist up just the right amount of gloss for a great application. I won't be buying it again solely because I don't like the tingling sensation and the plumping is so minimal that $7.99 for this is not worth it. If however you are looking for a lip pluming gloss, give it a try.

I love this gloss!!!! I got 105 and 605--a light pink & a pink nude--at Walgreen's for $5.99 each. Both are great colors with my fair skin. I think my lips look slightly plumper--which is a nice benefit.

I've been looking for a replacement to my favorite gloss BB's Stonewashed Nude (LE). I've been in a panic because it was the only color I've ever found that was perfect for me, and the only gloss I've ever bought more than once (4 times to be exact...until Ebay ran dry). Then I bought this in #705 Luciously Spiced. On my lips its the exact same color. I'm thrilled! Doesn't do much to plump my lips, but love the tingle. Doesn't last as long as BB's, but then it isn't as sticky either. Love the slant tip, twist up pen. Will definitely be trying more colors.

Great stuff. Love the tingle, more tingle than any other DS plumper I've tried, as good as lip venom, for a fraction of the price, and I think it has more staying power. I have this in spice, which is more of a clear gloss, with a tiny bit of shimmer. Will try other colors!

I saw this in Allure on the same day CVS was doing a Maybelline 2-for-1 sale, so I got 2 (the soft pink and the nude). I fell in love with the color the model is wearing in the Allure ad (February 08 issue) and on me, it's not as pronounced - but this is a very good gloss at a very good price. Not sticky, plenty of shine and the color is gentle, making it a great workplace or casual gloss. As for plumping, I don't see a whole lot going on although it does have that tingle you associate with plumpers, probably from a little cinnamon oil. I will go back later this week and get 2 more colors. This is an affordable and very wearable, beautiful gloss - I like it very much!

I LOVE this stuff! I stumbled upon this while shopping in Rite Aid, and I thought to myself, "Oh God, another plumping lip junk." I decided to get it anyways since my LipFusion was getting low. Thank God I did!!!
This has to be the best lip plumper that I've found..and it's available at drug stores! It appears to be a spin-off of Maybelline's Shine Seduction lip gloss..since it comes in the same tube (it's the type of tube where you have to turn the bottom to make it click, and the gloss comes through the holes at the top of the clear plastic-lipstick-shaped tube).
This stuff actually plumps your lips...even my SO noticed! It is only temporary (maybe 30+ mins), but it does make a difference. It makes your lips tingle..similar to LipFusion, but it also has a minor burn and it makes your lips a little red (similar to DuWop's LipVenom stuff..minus the nasty cinnamon taste/smell). Basically..this stuff is as if LipFusion and LipVenom had a baby..that only cost $7 and could be found in a drug store. It's fabulous!
When I picked it up..there were only like 7 colored choices, and a clear one. I picked up a pink one (don't remember the name, but it's #105). It creates the perfect nude lip. The color is sheer, but the one that I choose was light, so I can't speak about the darker colored choices.

Overall: I cannot get enough of this stuff! I like it so much more than the $20 LipFusion, and the tube is just too cute! My new HG plumping gloss! I definately plan on picking up a few more before they get discovered and sell out!
