I haven't found that this does what it claims to, but then again, I didn't really expect it. I still love this gloss... I like the tingly mintiness, it gives the perfect amount of shine, and it really lasts.

I have tried many lip plump glosses and this is the only one that I've found that works relatively well. When I first apply it, I can feel it and see it working almost instantly. It also gives my lips a dark pink colour. However after using it for a long period of time I didn't notice it working as much, so I didn't use it for about a month now it works just as well as it did when I first bought it. I do think it is a little expensive for the size of tube that it comes in but it does last a long time.

Not the worst ever but I have yet to have a plumper actually work. I have taken pictures and my lips look the same.

I don't care much for the tingle/burning feeling. Pardon the vulgar description I am about to use, but it feels like my lips are getting a UTI.

The packaging reminds me of Blistex tube in terms of usability.

Definitely overrated in my opinion, if plumpers work on you, then you could try this, but I really do not think it is worth the price.

Gorgeous stuff. Plumper with a natural colour, finally!
This gloss goes on clear, but give it 2 minutes and it will find the perfect pink for your lips, your-lips-but-better-pink.
I don't mind that it doesn't have major plump, as I haven't found a product that does that yet.
Perfect for everyday, definite repurchase.

This is not a good lip gloss for those who are sensitive to the tingling sensation of most lip plumpers. I literally have to take this off just after applying, because it feels like my lips are on fire!
Not repurchasing.

I've been testing and looking for for a natural lip gloss/balm that does not have the thick or sticky brush-feel to the texture that once applied, will not give the skin around my lips a very uncomfortable feeling or break out. I was also looking for a lip gloss that feels natural on my lips with a natural tint of red (not too glossy). When I'm wearing heavier base make up I like to wear a softer natural gloss to even out my skin tone and have that natural glow to my skin. I've tried Body Shop's, Dior, Kiehl's lip balm, they all gave me a thick sticky layer feel to my lips and as I focus my lips on not licking or smudging them, my throat goes dry - I'm sure many others experience this? When I came across Smashbox's O-Plump, wow, it has been my favourite balm/gloss. 1. Non sticky 2. Long lasting 3. Natural tint of sheer pink 4. a slight pumping-effect 5. Compliments from others each time I put it on. It's a comfortable balm/gloss to put on at night, as it truly makes my skin glow. I don't believe in being loyal to one cosmetic brand for every product, instead I love to fish for the best product that suits me for different labels and this Smashbox O-plump was a surprise/lucky find for me. Not a big fan of their other cosmetic stuffs but this one is treasure. But a little pricey for the size.

I love the peachy pink color it gives to my lips and the plumping effect - however it burns my lips quite badly for a while after applying it and that's why I took one lippie off. Smells very nice, very minty to me :) I would repurchase despite the burning, it is an amazing product and you don't have to use it much, just tiny amount is enough to provide the beautiful shade and plumping effect.

//Edit: Dries out my lips - another lippie off for that. I recommend you to use lip balm underneath this lip gloss.

This stuff burned my lips immediately like nobody's business. I've tried Sally Hanson Lip Injection in various shades, and they tingle my lips SLIGHTLY but don't burn them whatsoever. I don't appreciate how this made my lips feels, and they don't look plumper to me. Disappointed. The color change is the only thing I like about it.

I love this lip gloss. It gives my lips that perfect shade of pink. I like that it is not as intense as the O-Gloss. The O-Plump is softer and sexier.

I am really undecided about this product. It appears to plump your lips. My lips are lined professionally, so they are quite pigmented. They are also fairly full. I still love DuWop's Prime Venom the best for plumping, but this is fairly good. I will use up, not sure whether or not I would buy again. UPDATE: Yes, I think I would buy this again. It does plump my lips and leaves them a great color.

I was surprised at how moisturizing this stuff is! It leaves my lips so soft and hydrated, even after it comes off. And the coolest part- the pigment in my lips seems to be darker even after this has been off for hours- almost like it is changing the color of my lips to a slightly deeper hue, which I can't complain about since I am fair and have like, NO pigmentation in my lips. It has a slightly "warm" sensation upon first few minutes of application, nothing uncomfortable, and kind of smells like Tanning lotion- the kind that has "tingle" factor? You know? (If you ever tanned indoors in a bed like I used to, you know what I mean). Not unpleasant, just an observation :) I like this stuff! Not sticky or tacky, very comfortable! Makes my lips look smoothed out and polished. *UPDATE* God, I am addicted to the way this stuff feels when first applied! So warm and tingly!! I have to keep re-applying it because I feel like a crack fiend! Hahaha. I went and got a few more so I will never have to go without. It's addicting I swear.

Love the smell and minty sensation on my lips
I think this might be shinier than the original o gloss, but it doesn't turn as pink as the o gloss does, which blows
I don't think this plumps my lips, but whatever
I like it, but probably won't repurchase

I have never seen a product before that comes out clear from the packaging and still turns your lips into a different (and beautiful) colour! That was a real *wow* for me! I can also see that my lips look a little bit fuller - not that much, but enough that I notice it (which is nice, as they are quite thin).
Still - this product is expensive and does not last very long on my lips.
I was not sure if I should choose "Yes" or "No" for "Would you buy again?". I chose "No" in the end because I guess I would finish it up in about 2 month if I would really use it regularlly - and then it would be way to expensive for me.
But overall: A revolutionary, great product!

Nice plumper! Very intense on my lips though I don't care much the colour it turns on me. I use this underneath and put lipstick over top... would recommend if you are not sensitive because it does have a stinging sensation.

This is a fantastic plumping lip gloss - it had better be, for $25 USD. I bought my tube on Ebay for less than half that price, and I think I'll be going back for more. While O-Plump doesn't have peptides or hyaluronic acid, it does have goji berry and phaeodactylum tricornutum,respectively a berry and algae that both help stimulate collagen production, repair skin damage, and fight free radicals. This gloss is very moisturizing, as it contains avocado, pomegranate, and safflower oils. It also contains a pepper extract that helps stimulate blood flow to the lips, as well as peppermint and ginger oils which also stimulate circulation. My lips tingle for a bit. I don't mind licking my lips at all, as I have Raynaud's Disease and could use some stimulated blood circulation!

Of course, the most fascinating part is the tinting, which imparts a soft, sweet rosy pink shade that matches my pale skin beautifully. I do think it customizes based on the individual, because my friend tried it and the shade was slightly different on her lips. I would recommend this plumper for people who don't mind a little heat and spice on their lips.

I do like this plumper. I like that it's very silky and smooth, not sticky or heavy at all. It's also very moisturizing and has other benefits to it, like antioxidants.
It turns my lips a pretty cotton candy shade.
the only downsides to this product is the smell, it smells sort of...smoky?
also the price is the reason I will not be repurchasing.

I just bought this today and I love it so far. It tingles for the first little bit to plump up your lips and gives them the perfect shade of pink. It does burn for the first minute or so, but it's not an uncomfortable burn. I'm just glad that for the price I paid for it ($28 CAN at Shoppers) that it does what it says on the package. Very happy with this. The only thing I can say that I don't like about it is that it makes my lips beat red at first before it fades into a nice pink. Other then that I love it! Will definately keep buying.

This product was a complete waste of my money. It made my lips burn and sting. My lips were huge and swollen and I had to take Benadryl to make them go down. By far the worst I have ever gotten. I recommend it to women with tiny lips. I would not by this product again.

I didn't want to fall in love with this product because of the the price... but I have. I dare say I am slightly addicted.

It goes on well, smooth and silky, not goopy. It's nice and liquidy soft, instead of thick and sticky like a lot of other plumpers are.
Changes to a nice soft pink on my lips that looks great with my skintone.
Way better than other plumpers.
This not only plumps my lips, but it totally fills in the lines. My lips look totally smooth! Amazing! No other product has done that for me.
The tingle is great and it tastes nice.

The tube is small and cute, fits well in my purse and clutch.

It is a little on the expensive side for what you get, but I only apply it once, maybe twice a day.
If I had a gift card or wanted to treat myself to celelbrate something, I would buy it for myself, but due to the cost, I don't think I would buy it on a regular basis as I run out.
