How exciting, I just got my Beautifull lips! They UPS'd it. Haven't tried it yet, but that was pretty fast! Gonna try it right now! |

Great! Hopefully mine will be there when I get home. Did you notice if they had charged your credit card yet? |

Wow! This stuff is right up my alley! I LOVE it. It's the perfect consistency for me. Doesn't leave a glossy goop, a beautifull texture, a light tingling feeling, smells minty... the best lip plumper I've tried, other than when I had injections of course. I will definitely be purchasing this product. It's a million times better than the Walgreens LipFusion immitation stuff I've tried. I haven't tried CityLips though. My previous favorite lip plumper was one I got from Sally Beauty supply called "My Lips Are Exposed". But I like this one better! Lips definitely look fuller!
btw- I have not checked my credit card yet... I should probably do that. |

Just recieved my samples....there were actually two in my package, which was a wonderful surprise.
At any rate, I agree with the previous post. This stuff is wonderful......it gives a plumping effect without the gloop or stickiness that most of the others have.
This product sinks right in.....and imparts a lush, pinky appearance to your lips.
Would definitely repurchase.
Thanks JB!! |

Since one of the ingredients is peppermint oil, won't this eventually over time dry out the lips? |

I just replied in the other lip plumper post, not seeing this one . But ok, I thought it was a full sized product that we were getting? Maybe I'm regarding to the samples that belledivine67 said they recieved as a trial size. Let me know if I'm mistaken. I haven't gotten mine either . However, I can't wait to try it!!! So one person got it through UPS. Anyone recieved it through USPS or FedEx? Just wondering what to expect . |

Mine looked like a full size product... I don't think it was a sample size, if it was it was a generous sample! I'm awfully jealous that belledivine67 got two! I really do like this product. It's not a miracle or anything but it's satisfying. |

Me too! Hopefully it will get to us today. It looks like those that live in the north eastern states are the ones that got the product yesterday. Fingers crossed anyway! |

Day two......I still do enjoy this product. Like the previous post asserted....it is satisfying, but unfortunately not a miracle.
I am not sure that I like the application process. You must rotate the end many times before the product appears at the dispenser. You never know how much is actually in the tube.
I wonder how much the product will cost. I will not reorder if it is a substantial amount of money (which I suspect it will be $20.00 or over)
Actually, Burts Bees lip balm (in the canister) gives a similar effect. It also contains peppermint oil and imparts a rosy color to the lips. And it is cheap!! |

You know, when I first applied the BeautiFULL lips, I got a whiff of it and thought it smelled very similiar to something I already have. And it wasn't just the peppermint I was smelling either. So when you said the Burts Bees I thought that must be it! So I went and smelled it again, but that wasn't it. Hmmm... now I'm really wondering what it is I already have that smells just like this stuff. But anyway, do you think you notice a difference with plumping when you use the Burts Bees? And are you talking about the one in the little tin, is that the canister? I think my lips feel fuller when I use Burts Bees but next time I use it I'm gonna have to see if I notice a plumping effect... |

To answer your question Phoebes.....the Burts Bees which I am referring to is in the tin.
And, to tell you the truth, the plumping effect is stronger with the Burts. It even imparts the same "tell tale" faint red line around the border of your lips that most plumpers do.
I hate to recant my recommendation for Beautifull Lips....but I think that I must!! While it is a nice product, the effect is quite temporary, and not as strong as the Burts. |

I just got mine.. I have no opinion yet.. I do like the feel of it, not sticky or thick.. It feels more moisturizing, than anything.. It does have a bit of a sting, but not bad at all.. And really, for me, it wasn't all over my lips... I'm not a 'sting' fan... It's nothing like most of them out there, in fact the 'sting' is going away.. Lasted maybe 5-10 minutes.. I can't see anymore plump, but then I take the HA pills and have had on my Lip Injection adn Walgreens faux one...
And taste wise, it's minty...
I'm not thrilled with the applicator.. There's no way to know how much product that is left.. But at the same time, what is left isn't going to get all yucky towards the end, like some of the tube product....
The first time you use it, you will have to twist the end several times, to get the product on the applicator.. I didn't count, but best guess, 15-20 twists... |

I just got mine and applied it (liberally) to one side of my mouth, and hey -- that side instantly plumped up nice and pink right before my eyes! So, I applied to the other side just so I didn't look lopsided!
The best plumping effect came from applying to the surface of the lips inside the mouth.
This stuff has also just exfolliated some pesky flakes that I have had trouble getting rid of!
I am curious to see how long this effect will last, but for now, I like it very much.
I am, however, intrigued by the posts about Burt's Bees, 'cause although I love the JB products, I am a bit afraid to learn what the price of this lip stuff will be.

I got my BeautiFULL lips today (by UPS). To get the product out seems like a little guessing game, you never know if it'll start erupting after 1 more twist or if you just need to keep on 'cranking' it. The applicator is nice and soft. When I put the product on my lips, it seemed to 'pinch a little' the first time compared to stinging on the second application (2 hours later). A little bit of a minty smell with it as well. In addition, when I put it on my lips it felt like they were slippery. Not the kind of slipery with regular lip glosses, but the kind of slippery a tire would be. Weird to explain, sorry . Overall, I took some before and after pics. Once I figure out how to post them, and get a bit of free time (I'm rushing out the door as I'm writting this) I will post them for all to see . |

I tried the Burt's Bees as a plumper. I'm starting to think that if I apply anything and then look for a plump, that I'll see it. It's time I start taking some before and after photos as the placebo effect might be taking over in my lip plumping quest. |

Yes, that's what i thought as well so I had to take some pictures as well.
Btw, re:packaging. I agree that that type of packaging is a pain at first (and sometimes later on as well). I had the same problems with my Stila lip glosses - I had to turn lots of clicks and then all of a sudden more than necessary would come out. It's ok after that but every so often, if you hit a pocket of air, you find that you might squeeze out more than you need... |

Well, mine did arrive yesterday but I have to say that I'm disappointed in this. I cleaned off my lips and applied it when I got home and didn't notice anything more than it turning my lips pink. I also tried it again this morning and while I did see a bit of plumping action today, it didn't last more than 30 minutes and it turned my lips Koolaid pink (not in a good way). I also don't like that the instructions read that it should be applied every 2-3 hours for continued plumping. Seems a bit too often to me, but then again I want something that's going to last at least 12 hours and have a cumulative effect as well. Oh well! |

Mine arrived yesterday by USPS. It stung and turned my lips red, even outside the lip line. I'll try it again today just to the inside of the lips. I just don't like the red at all. I tried lip venom one time with the same reaction. I use lip infusion and it works great w/o the redness. |

First, I want to thank JB for their generous offer. I have been lucky enough to be the recipient of a few of their first-offers-to EDS-members promotions.
Now the bad news.....the Beautiful Lips did nothing for me other than turn my lips pink. No plumping. Not a lick of it, actually, and I tried it several times during the day. I think it may have dried out my lips too.
As a disclaimer, even the Lip Fusion doesn't do much for me. I must have lips made of steel that just don't seem to respond to plumpers.
Again, very generous of JB, but for me, it's a no go.
