Review: Sally Hansen Lip Inflation Plumping Treatment

I already have Duwop's Lip Venom, read more to see if this product is at par with the famous lip plumper.

Sally Hansen Lip Inflation in Clear

Special Ingredients: Ginger and Cinnamon stimulate lips. Peppermint provides a cooling sensation.

WEIGHT : 5.6 grams

SHADES : Available in 4 shades.
> # 15 Clear
> # 16 Sheer blush
> # 17 Sheer pink

WHAT I LIKE:
* has a spicy, tingling sensation that lasts for 20-30 minutes. Don't be afraid - its really tolerable! hehe
* inexpensive - costs half the price of Duwop's Lip venom.
* love brush type applicator (compared to foam types) - reminds me of MAC's Lustreglass
* minty scent - i usually choose mint flavored lipbalms, then the strawberry flavored ones =)
* i have fine lines on my lips, after 5 minutes of using this I noticed my lips looked a bit plump and the fine lines are not so noticeable anymore (see pic below).
* not sticky

WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
* my lips felt plump, but there's no visible results.
* packaging not hygenic

TIPS:
Use a lipbrush (instead of the applicator) when you use this on top of lipstick - so that the lipstick color will not mix into the clear gloss..

ADDICTION FACTOR:
I love spicy glosses and lipbalms!

RATING :
3 out of 5.

See the fine lines aren't that visible anymore, and it has a slight plumping effect!
I'll definitely buy this instead of Duwop's Lip venom since its much cheaper, and it works the same for me. It contains a lot of product too! =)


Till next time,

I think it's visible enough, looking at the photos, there really is a huge difference. I bet it looks even better if seen from a full-face perspective, so we can see the actual look against other facial features. Good review, Khymm.
