Tripeptide Plumping Lip Balm

Listen to me this is my second bottle of this product. Where I live, this usually sells for over $10, so when I saw it for $7, I ran and bought it. No hesitation. This is honestly everything that’s right in a lip balm. The ingredients are great, and like I said, this is already my second one… and I fully plan on buying more (especially when they’re on sale). Now, let’s be realistic: this is not a miracle product. Don’t expect to go from the thinnest lips in the universe to full-on bee-stung lips overnight — obviously not. What it does do is help smooth and fill in the tiny lines that start forming with age. At night, I use a drop of hyaluronic acid on my lips, then I apply this on top, and if I have time, I seal it with a little Vaseline. Trust me, that combo works. The flavor is honestly not great kind of like burnt plastic lol and it doesn’t really smell like anything. But honestly, that might be a good thing because it stops you from licking your lips all the time, which is one of the main reasons people have dry lips in the first place. Saliva is the enemy. Overall, I really think this product gets it right. I love that it comes in two tinted shades and also a clear one. It’s simple, effective, and it works.

Great lip product. Moisturizes well. No fragrance or taste.

This product was touted to help plump, it doesn’t do that at all. It feels like a nice regular lip balm, but it’s not flavored/scented and the natural scent smells (and by close relation, tastes) kind of gross. It smells like petroleum jelly which means you can taste it, and while this is inexpensive I’d rather just apply Vaseline for that experience since the plumping aspect did nothing.

Nice moisturizing effect.

In the four weeks I’ve used this, there was no plumping. It did hydrate my lips and left them soft, but never made them feel ‘plump.’ I got this for fun, and it works fine as a lip mask. The taste/flavor of it though is awful; bitter and also kind of gritty? Loved the color and way it kept my lips from drying out, but probably won’t get again.

I have three of these in my purse at the moment. I am constantly chewing at my lips and drying them out with lipsticks. This product leaves my lips hydrated and plump. Never added a product to my Subscribe so fast.

I used to buy these at Sephora, but when I found them on Amazon for half the price, I bought several! Love these for a little extra pop in the lips. Keeps them soft, and supple. But if you're looking for a "lip filler" affect after a month, this product is not it. The only way you're going to get that, is to get actual LIP FILLERS. This will help with fine lines on your lips though. Best clear balm on the market, imo.

Pretty shade (pic shows it on top of a light mocha lip stain. If worn alone, very sheer mocha shade.). But does not last. Directions say to apply three times a day for results, so we’ll see if I notice a difference in moisture. BUT I HATE THE SMELL/TASTE!! I don’t care if lip balm’s have a specific scent or flavor, but this tastes like I put lotion in my mouth. I don’t think I will be able to wear it without putting another bomb on top if it is even worth the payoff of its claims.
