MAYBELLINE Lifter Gloss Lifter Plump Plumping Lip Gloss with Chili Pepper and 5 Maxi-Lip Blush Blaze Sheer Pale

First, I'd like to mention that the color and consistency is super nice. The glosses have an identical texture to the Fenty ones. The plumping works!! They are pretty spicy though. If you get some in your mouth you will definitely notice. The burning/tingling is not unbearable, but it could be way too intense for some people. You can definitely feel it and it dulls a bit after about 10 minutes, but for me it doesn't go away. With that being said, I have sensitive skin and eczema, and this did not irritate my skin or cause any redness around my mouth. With the plumping being from chili pepper, I think it is a safer bet than other plumping ingredients. Pros: - Very nice, buttery gloss - Nice variety of colors, they may look similar in the tube but they're not identical - Plumping effect works & works fast - Lips stay plumped even after wiping it off - Chili pepper makes for a reliable plumping agent - Colors are opaque but easy to get off Cons: - Very very spicy. Definitely tastes like chili pepper - If your skin is super sensitive, it might be irritating due to the spice - The sensation doesn't really go away much even after wearing it for awhile - Not good for those who don't tolerate spice well - As with any gloss, they're not stainproof. It will transfer while eating or if your lips touch your skin Overall, I would recommend these, but keep in mind your sensitivity to spice and your skin's tolerance for plumping products. Read more

This is going to be a staple. Super plumping, spicy yes, but that’s what does the plumping! The colors Think Pink and the mauve one are so flattering and easily wearable, just two perfect pinks. Read more

I’ve tried a LOT of plumpers in my day and when I saw that Maybelline released a plumping Lifter gloss I had to try it because their Lifter glosses are SO good. In reading the reviews for this product I was a little nervous because I hate glosses that burn BURN like hellfire. I’m pretty sensitive and I’ve tossed many products after a first try. Because I love this line so much I decided to give it a shot anyway even though reviews about how intense it is scared me. I bought the peach color. The texture of the gloss itself is different to that of the regular lifter gloss. It’s a bit thinner has bit more of a slip with a less lacquer effect. It’s still shiny don’t get me wrong but it’s different. The sensation builds and doesn’t happen immediately, but working a good 10 minutes of application my lips were full on tingly. By 20’minutes, my lips were noticeably fuller without the irritation ring that a lot of plumbers produce. In fact, I didn’t see a noticeable difference in the color except for the color of the gloss. I found the “burn”’to be quite tolerable and not at all uncomfortable. You do get that little bit of essence of chili on the inside of the mouth but it doesn’t feel any spicier that putting chili flake on your pizza (which I always do). From the reviews I was expecting the worst but it was totally fine. This coming from an Irish person that can only tolerate moderate to medium spice and hates plumbers that make my lips feel like I pressed them against an iron. Quite honestly this is mild compared others that I’ve tried but the kicker is that it actually works. At 40 after being a smoker all through my 20’s, my top lip has lost a lot of its volume and my bottom isn’t as full as it once was. I especially have issues with the sides of my top lip which are starting to turn downward. I will get filler eventually but I’ve never come across a product that not only did I tolerate but actually did inflate those problem areas noticeably within a few minutes and didn’t leave my lips looking like I just kissed poison ivy. I’m super impressed. This lip plumper is a home run for me. It works much better that higher end ones I’ve tried at a fraction of the cost and the tingle/burn whatever you want to call it was probably the most bearable that I’ve tried in a very long time. I’m actually going to buy two others colors after I post this review. Read more

I really like this! Looks good and give a slight plump with out too much numbing Read more

This lip gloss truely stings your lips. Any reviews that say otherwise....it's been on for almost an hour, and my lips are still burning. Not only my lips, but my tongue too. My throat also feels hot. So no, I do not recommend this gloss, way too spicy. And more importantly, it doesn't even plump up your lips, so this is a no go for me. The peach color is nice though. Thumbs down, too overwhelmingly hot for me! Read more

Beautiful color but spicy flavor, give warning before using on others. Read more

I’ve used other colors in this line, and they were exactly the shade from the bottle. Unfortunately, after applying this “light pink” to my lips, they turned red. They didn’t just turn red, they were stained red. Yes, lip stains exist. No, this is not supposed to be a stain. So not only is it red instead of pink, but it stains red and stays that way for hours. No matter what color I try to put over it, the red takes over. I don’t know what’s wrong with this color, but I’m so disappointed. Maybe it was just this bottle or batch. I’ve had no issues with the other ones. Read more

I've been searching for a clear pink lipgloss for several years. Here to fore, when I selected ones that looked clear pink in photos, had a tthey ended up being unexpectedly tinged with coral. Not this one. It is PERFECT: a clear pink that leans neither coral nor purple and offers just enough color. Secondary to me is the degree of gloss. I don't want to look like I've just spit on my lips or like they've been slicked with liquid glass. This product gives the perfect amount of sheen--moist looking but not slippery, and in addition offers a very nice amount of moisture. I do not find it tacky or sticky. Regarding the plumping: honestly, I didn't buy it for plumping and haven't returned to the mirror enough to give an accurate opinion. Lastly, the sting. It does sting, feeling very like your lips feel when you've eaten spicy foods. I have not found this unpleasant; however, I'm afraid it might hurt if I touched my eyes with a trace of it on my finger. Read more
