Benefit Lip Plump

As you may have noticed if you read a lot of my reviews, I've reviewed several benefit products so far and have given 5 stars to all of them. I would say that they are definitely my favourite makeup company, and I am impressed with the quality of their products. However, 'Lip Plump' is the only product that I own from Benefit which I don't think is good. I got a small amount of this as part of the 'Realness of Concealness' set, but even though I love the rest of the kit, I could have done without this one. *Why I don't like it* First of all, and most importantly, this product doesn't seem to work on me. The product information says that you should ...  Read the complete review

Now we all know just how important full, sexy, come-here-and-snog-me-now lips are in the game of seduction (think Angelina Jolie- don't try and tell me those are natural!) and the cosmetics industry has been capitalising on this, launching new products which claim to achieve miraculous results with no pain involved. I have a very full bottom lip and I'm a bit paranoid that my top lip looks quite thin compared to it. So when I saw that Benefit (my absolute favourite cosmetics company) did a 'lip plump', I marched straight down to Boots to throw away my hard earned cash! ---The Claim--- Benefit claim that this product will ...  Read the complete review

I am a big fan of Benefits make up and when I decided I needed bigger lips, but was far too scared of surgery this seemed the obvious option. I paid out the £14.50 for 7g at boots and excitedly went home to try it. The lip plump comes in a box similar to a lot of Benefits other products. It is a black box with funky Benefit writing on it. When opening lip plump appears like all other lip glosses from Benefit, a clear tube with a silver lid. When you unscrew the lid there is a little sponge applicator on the end. The instructions that come with lip plump tell you to put three little dots on your lips, leave them a few seconds then rub them in and ...  Read the complete review

This product was highly disappointing. At 22 years old I did not buy it with the aim to fill in my lines around the lips but more to plump up my lips. It is a cream that you dot onto your lips and leave on for a couple of minutes before applying your lipstick. It is a beige colour and you do look slightly ridiculous if you put it on in front of someone as it does set in the lines of your lips and any dry skin you may have. It is quite a pricey product from Benefit and I think there are much better products on the market. Obviously we don't expect miracles in a tube but something worthwhile for the money and some sort of effect would have been nice. ...  Read the complete review

I got this product as part of Benefit's Realness of Concealness kit, and it was the one product in the kit I was not really bothered about trying. In fact, this is not a product I would go out and buy individually, as I don't think it's really something I need. Lip Plump is a bit of a misleading name. What would you expect from a product called Lip Plump? Well, that's obvious really isn't it? Plump lips. My lips are quite full anyway, and I think I have a fat mouth which I do not want to be any bigger than it already is! Well luckily for me, Lip Plump is not, in fact, a product to plump the lips, rather it is a lip primer. The idea of a lip primer ...  Read the complete review
