So funny! And so true – these plumpers hurt!

I have one (Glo Minerals) right now that I promise makes my blood pressure rise when I use it. It stings so bad. I wonder if it is worth it…until my husband comments on my lips and then I think, yes it is!

I do think the Sally Henson one is a good choice if you just want a little plumping without all the stinging, just a little tingly.

LOL! The comments on this post are almost as good as the post itself. I’ve never tried a lip plumper, and now I’m pretty sure I never will. GADS!

The muppet with lips is named Janice. She’s the groovy bass player with long swingy in Dr. Tooth’s rock band. Love her. She’s, like, so totally rad.

I almost fell off my couch laughing when I read this. I especially like the “pump (clap) you up”. Oh man. I tried to explain to my hubby how funny this was — of course he thought I was crazy, but I suppose my true mistake was trying to relay it to him in the first place.

Oh well. I enjoyed it. And for the record, my sister (who is 20 years old and has never been allergic to anything) tried Lip Venom last year when we were in Sephora, and her whole face grew red and puffy. Then she wiped it on her hand — it was red and puffy too. I took the hint and stayed away.

Oh my land. I would never have the nerve to try a lip plumper for fear I’d end up looking like Fat Albert and talkin’ like Mushmouth, (Ibee donba knowba) but this post was one of your best and I laughed all the way through it. Hit you in the mouth with a pan… you crack me up. I always say Julia Roberts looks like she just got home from a fist fight and hasn’t applied the bag of frozen peas yet. Big lips are overrated.

I have the Lip Venom (free sample from Sephora) and it just tingles on me! Doesn’t hurt at all, and is definitely works.

I tried the Lip Venom, and it didn’t sting me at all. It just felt kind of tingly, like a menthol-y chapstick. Maybe different people have a different reaction to it? Years ago I tried something very expensive from the a counter in Saks 5th Ave. Very expensive like $70-ish. And no, I did not buy it, it was my out of town college fairy godmother who bought it for me. But I can’t remember the name and I have since used it all up… It was in a pretty blue-ish green vial… very posh.

I used Too Faced Lip Injection – it worked, but I’m always on the hunt for the “perfect” product. I also bought the lovely pink Lip Fusion you wrote about, but alas, there was just no plumping involved. Then I tried Plump Potion Needle-Free Lip Plumping Cocktail by Physician’s Formula. I love it. I love the plump factor, the colors, and best of all – I love the price.

PS – great blog! I’ve got you on my GoogleReader!
