Just for fun, I did a before and after. No photoshopping was done--as you can see by the fact that I didn't fix the weird shadow above my lip that looks like a mustache (it's not, I swear). (In case you're curious, I'm wearing the "Sun Diego" shade)
I've only been using it a few days, so I don't know about long term benefits so much, but I do know that unlike other lip plumping glosses, this one does not make me feel like I've been punched in the face with a brick, and it moisturizes the hell out of my chapped lips. It doesn't have as extreme an immediate affect as some of the more painful lip plumpers out there, but it more than does its job, and does so with just a little tingle.
I had been of two minds about this slew of lip plumping lip glosses out there. The one that I found the most effective in the past, Lip Injection by TooFaced, had the benefit of giving me those lusciously engorged "blow job lips," but had the drawback of being really quite painful, and, adding insult to injury, the engorgement lasted only about as long as the pain did. The ideal use for something like that is if you have a 20 minute window during which you wanted to seduce someone with a pouty pucker. And it only works if the seduction is a chaste one, as the minute your lips make contact with the seducee, they will quite literally feel the sting in your kiss. If you don't believe me, ask my lip smarting husband.

Thanks for the tip girl, I think I'll go and buy some of that lip gloss soon. Happy Holidays! xoxo
It's interesting to see just how permeant memory has become in our everyday lives. It's like everytime I turn my head, I see something with a card slot or USB port, haha. I guess it makes sense though, considering how much cheaper memory has become as of late...
Ahhh, who am I to complain. I can't get by a single day without using my R4 / R4i!
