Advantages: Nice smell (and taste!), handy applicator, conditions well.

Disadvantages: Don't expect miracles.

Champneys products are available in most Sainsburys stores which is where I purchased mine - luckily reduced. It comes in a pen style applicator about 12cms long. Remove the cap and twist the base of the pen to release the product and apply. Champneys claim it "Volumises, boosts collagen and conditions lips". It has a pleasant perfume and a very slight pink tint which could still be used over your usual lipstick if required.

I'd query the first two of these claims as I haven't noticed any particular difference. One of the ingredients, derived from tree resin, is supposed to stimulate your lips and cause them to gently swell, giving a tingling sensation. Sounds worrying? Well, maybe it's just my lips that are numb but I've never noticed any tingling at all and I've been using it every day since I bought it about a month ago.

It does stay on well, gives a nice gloss and conditions lips prone to dryness but I wouldn't say it has made any difference at all to the plumpness of my pout!

Summary: Didn't work for me.
