Hey hey beauty babes!! Thanks so much for stopping by, today I have a review to share with you on a new Lip Plumping product by the brand SkinXL. I was contacted by the brand about trying their product for free for review, and because I am kind of obsessed with Lip Plumpers (see my small collection here), I said yes! Of course, as usual all thoughts are my own and always honest. ♥
Now I was assuming this product would be a lip gloss like most other typical lip plumpers. However, when I received the product I was surprised to discover its actually something a bit different. While the packaging is similar to a gloss - with a nice doe-foot applicator, its actually more like a lip oil treatment! At first, I wasn't quite sure if I liked that about it or not... However as I continued to use it, I have grown to really appreciate that its not a typical gloss. And I find it to be more useful and beneficial than a plumping gloss would be!
One other thing that is unlike most other lip plumpers, is that this really doesn't give any harsh or painful tingling sensation to the lips. There may be an ever so slight sensation to the lips, but its hardly noticeable at all... Which is something that I am sure a lot of people will appreciate. I personally don't mind a nice tingling sensation, but it seems most other do. So that's a plus for those with sensitive lips.

"We chose to use hyaluronic acid as the key ingredient in our revolutionary lip plumper because it has natural moisturizing capabilities, as well as the ability to hold up to 1000 times its molecular weight in water. Advanced Hyaluronic Sphere technology draws moistures from the surrounding air into the delicate skin on your lips, filling them and boosting their volume. This smoothes out any lines or wrinkles and boosts them safely."
As you can see in my results below, this serum truly does help to smooth out the fine lines in your lips to help them look more plump! This oil like serum formula also helps to keep the the lips moisturized and makes them look more luscious as well! These photos are simply before application and then just 10 minutes after application!!
A couple other things I have really been loving about the SkinXL Lip Plumper is that its the perfect prep product for lipstick - especially matte liquid lipstick! We all know how drying and killer some of our Liquid Lipsticks can leave our lips feeling (and sometimes looking!). Applying SkinXL first helps keep my lips hydrated and I have even noticed it enhances the formula of some of my liquid lipsticks, so they feel more comfortable and don't get flaky!! And because SkinXL helps smooth out your lips and plumps them up, you get the best, smoothest application for the most amazing looking lips. ♥
What I do is apply SkinXL about 10 minutes before applying a [liquid] lipstick. I do, of course, wipe away or blend in any excess product that has not absorbed into my lips first. It truly has been a wonderful prep-step!!
The other thing is that I have actually incorporated this into my nightly lip care routine! Because this isn't a sticky gloss, I have felt comfortable to use it at night before bed. I switch back and forth between the SkinXL and the Rodan & Feilds Nightly Lip treatment. So when I wake my lips feel smooth and hydrated!!
Overall I am thoroughly enjoying this unique lip plumping serum and definitely recommend it if you are looking to improve your lips! You can purchase the SkinXL Lip Plumper (here) for $25.17 or save 20% when you purchase 2 for $40.42.
Much Love & Hugs,
