lip plumpers


Guest meagan

Recommended Posts

Just curious to know if anyone here uses or has tried using a lip plumper. Not injections or a pump. Any good products, good results or length of time lips stay plump?

It would be nice to add some volume to my pout and not look like i took a punch to the face haha...

I was looking at Wexler advanced lip plumper as it had more consistant good reviews. Taking any input /cheers

I have tried a couple and so far I call BS as far as any noticable results aside from "buzzing" lips. I usually achieve far better results "sculpting" my lips with liner and lipstick/stain.

I have tried one, or rather had it tried on me. I have to say, it did work, but the results didn't last very long, so you'd have to pretty much keep it on you at all times and really stock up. I don't think it would be worth it.

I have tried one before. I guess the formula uses concentrated cinnamon to make the lips swell up some. I guess it worked to an extent but the burning feeling wasn't the best. Now I just stick to regular lipstick.

Lol, funny Mia. After some more research and even talking with the make up girls in town. the spicy hot tingly plumpers work for very few people and for most just burn and irritate. The advice i got was to stay away from the burning glosses as i could try a dozen brands before finding one that may work for me. As per my original post, i was told to look at Wexler and that it did plump with good volume and lasted 5-6 hours. It was also mentioned that Avon makes a really good plumping lipstick, Clinique was suggested and i even came across many write ups or reviews that gave it good grades in creating volume, having no spicy tingle and about 5-6 hours of good full lips.

Maybe it is not really worth my money and time, but i do look at my paper thin lips and dream of them being a full pout. I do appreciate the replies too. thanks :)

Old but fun topic!

My opinion? THEY DO NOT PERFORM AS ADVERTISED! Sorry - end of story.

Rub jalapeno or even habanaro juice on your lips maybe for the swelling you want (KIDDING! DON"T DO THAT)

On a related subject, surgical injections? my research shows they are temporary - look at Goldie Hawn in the movie Death Becomes Her - she doesn't look that way anywhere else, and certainly not today.

Using you own fat as injections? 30% effective at best, from what I read - so maybe it is best to have a bit of FFS that reduces the skin between your upper lip and the nose, plus an under the chin skin reduction. But be careful as you may never be able to eat an apple again without juice drooling down your chin. Plus people may start calling you either Chip or Dale.

LOL.....

Actually in the middle ages and before...women did use stinging bees for puffing up the lips....

The bee/wasp/hornet was held with a tweezers like device and allowed to sting the lips repeatedly....

It's still done in some places...

I know what you mean Dominique a fat lip would give me some lips, especially the upper, permanent stiff upper lip. I understand bo-tox lasts about 3 months? Any RLE out there.

Be careful with Botox.....

Botox does indeed give a MILD plumping effect , (due to relaxation of the "edge" of the muscle), when administered close to the lip, BUT side-effects such as difficulty saying the letters "p" and "b", and sipping through a straw, etc., can occur. For real lip volume improvement, fillers work very well.

Please be careful...

I think i'd rather find some young cute person to suck on my lips. Sorry but better than bee stings. Are you a beekeeper Mia? Used to keep bees and my son has a bunch of hives. Still prefer kissing though,

hugs, Charlie

A friend of mine swears by City Lips. I don't know whether it works or not and am not terribly worried about finding out just right now. Maybe someday I'll worry about that but not now.

Yes my spouse and I have a few hives. We keep them mainly for the pollination they provide and usually let them keep their honey over winter.

      I sit back and think, am I this person? I definitely argue, but with the willingness to alter my opinion if I find that my information is lacking. So, no? I also don't go pointing fingers in faces like a crazed person, usually I am the one to argue with that kind of person; typically because they can't see past emotion and have little concern for actual facts. Sometimes it's sport that I do this (ENTP, baby!), but usually it comes from a place of trying to inform and shift opinion--or at least get them to actually obtain facts or get their facts from objective sources.

      Thank you Vidanjali that is so great to hear. I'm glad the joy comes across even though the subjects are dark, and especially that my voice is pretty! This was really a breakthrough for me, and I revelled in the entire process. Never had creating music been so effortless from start to finish.

      The thoughts and suggestions above are certainly excellent!  I might also suggest that you continue to reach out to the trans community where your feelings are understood through experience.  I have found that helpful.  The is especially true when i try to help another in distress, not to look for a fellow sufferer but to help another find a path to self acceptance and peace.  Funny how helping another can pull me out of my own funk. We are here to help as we can.  Remember you are not alone in your feelings.   Hugs,   Charlize

      This is great, Betty. Your voice is so pretty and soothing. I listened to both tracks on your channel. The messages are clear and there is a very effective tone for the content you are portraying as it neither sounds antagonistic nor overtly facetious, but rather empowered and joyful.

      @FinnyFinsterHH I am sorry to hear you're struggling so much. I'll start by saying I understand how this feels because I too have had episodes where I've gotten very upset about my chest to the point of panic or depression. So, I will offer what advice I can, but understand I know it's not easily done, though there are ways through it. Gradually think about whether someone you know can help get you a binder. Until then, because you feel this way when you realize your chest is there, you can work on developing mental techniques to get your mind off dwelling on your chest. You'll realize your chest is there throughout the day, of course, because the chest is a prominent part of the body.   First, think about addressing the physical reaction. Drink a glass of water and take several deep breaths. This can help to calm your body.   I strongly recommend mindfulness and meditation practices. You can practice techniques throughout the day, wherever you are. For example, say you catch a glimpse of yourself in a reflective surface and begin to feel sick, seeing the chest. Take a moment and instead cast your glance on anything around you, preferably something in nature like looking up at the sky or at a tree. Describe the object you're viewing in neutral terms meaning describe the color, texture, shape, borders, patterns, etc.; but avoid personal or emotional description such as, "It makes me feel..." or "It reminds me of...". This will redirect your mind away from dwelling on your body shape and calm the nervous system. There are many more mindfulness practices you can find online.   You can also try using a CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) journal app. In such an app will guide you to describe what upset you, the feelings, thoughts, and beliefs involved, analyzing and reframing them.    Finally, consider developing a regular meditation practice. This will strengthen your mind and gradually you will find yourself less prone to feeling consumed by upsetting events.    I should also mention, if you are artistic, consider channeling your experience into artistic expression. This has worked for me before - I've created a few art pieces addressing my experience of gender dysphoria. in such a way that felt empowering - like I owned it instead of it owning me.   None of these things is a quick fix. Nor should they be because what you're dealing with is a deep issue. But will sustained effort you can find your way to living with more peace and comfort.

      I am a little different in my angle of approach on this one, but my skepticism on the "Phishing Trips" the AG's are taking is that they have gone into these investigations with the idea that illegal actions are occurring regularly.  They are going in on the information of unharmed third parties who have imagined fantastic "theories and plots of harm".  What is going to happen when the institutions turn over information that has NONE of this fantasy outcome in it.  Proof of a negative is impossible under standard logic and even most Laws of Evidence.  Just because the records do not show it happened will not in their minds equate to harm not having happened, just that someone is lying to them or covering up something that they know from their personal fantasies.  The problem is that they have made a public face of wisdom and social courage against the fantastic, they have their "glorious Quest"" and like Don Quixote will be tearing up windmills looking to justify their private images.

      This sounds really good.  Good luck with it.

      It's (questionably) legal terrorism, in my opinion, to scare people out of transitioning.  But that is the goal, isn't it, to eradicate transgender people. They know what they're doing, and so do we.
