e.l.f. Lip Plumping Gloss

As with most Elf products, this lip gloss doesn’t disappoint. It doesn’t actually plump lips but it’s still a great color.

I bought the champagne color and it’s so pretty. Only con is that it’s a small amount of product. Not much plumping action but I bought it for the color so it’s fine.

Parece vacío,usado lo quería tanto y me llego así 😪

This gloss would be a winner for me if not for the painful burning sensation of the lip-plumping ingredient. A little back story; my all time favorite lip gloss was Clinique’s Gloss Wear for Lips. It was the perfect gloss in my opinion; thick but not too thick, sticky but not too sticky, fragrance free, taste free, and a range of colors that worked on EVERY skin tone. But for some reason, Clinique/Estee Lauder decided to discontinue it and the Clinique lip gloss that supposedly replaces it is not the same! (I still have a tube of the original and compared it against the “replacement,” side-by-side, and they are NOT THE SAME!) So, I have been trying, off and on for years now, to find a replacement. This one came very, very, close until my lips started feeling as if I had just consumed two large orders of extra-hot buffalo wings! I know it’s the ingredient(s) that’s supposed to plump your lips. I was hoping it wouldn’t be too bad (Burt’s Bees is the worst, btw, in my opinion), and tried to wait it out since a couple of other reviews said the burning sensation goes away after a few minutes. But that wasn’t my experience and, I can’t be waiting around for my lip gloss to settle down and stop causing me pain and irritation. So, this is going back just as soon as I finish writing this review. I also hope this review will be helpful to others trying to decide if they should skip this product because of the lip-plumping stuff. Again, other than that issue, I actually liked this gloss which is why I gave it three out of four stars. *And* if any of you guys have some suggestions of fragrance-free, taste-free, sticky glosses (I prefer sticky glosses over “oily/silky” ones) for me to try, please tell me in the replies. Thank you!

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve ordered the E.L.F. Lip Gloss, and with each purchase, it continues to impress me. This product has firmly secured its place as a must-have in my makeup collection, and I sincerely hope E.L.F. never changes its formula or discontinues it.

One of the standout features of this lip gloss is its unique sensation upon application. Unlike other lip plumpers that can leave your lips feeling like they’re on fire, this gloss offers a subtle tingle that’s refreshing and invigorating. It’s a pleasant sensation that adds to the overall experience of wearing the gloss, without any discomfort.

But the real magic happens when you see the results. This lip gloss doesn’t just offer shine—it delivers a stunning, luscious finish that enhances the natural beauty of your lips. The glossy sheen catches the light beautifully, giving your lips a plump and juicy appearance that’s irresistible.

I’ve found that pairing this lip gloss with a brown lip liner takes the look to the next level. The combination creates a perfect harmony of color and definition, accentuating the lips and adding depth to your overall makeup look. It’s a versatile pairing that works for both casual daytime wear and glamorous evening looks.

In terms of longevity, I’ve been consistently impressed with how well this lip gloss holds up throughout the day. It maintains its shine and vibrancy for hours on end, without the need for constant touch-ups. Whether I’m running errands or attending a special event, I can trust that my lips will look fabulous from morning till night.

Works great. Subtle, not over the top plumping. Nice shimmer/sparkle. Cool tingle.
