I’m always up for trying new beauty products, and I’ve been pleasantly surprised by some and greatly let down by others. This one falls somewhere in between, at least for me and my experience.
I have used lip plumper glosses in the past, such as lipsticks that contain the ingredients that aid with such results. What makes Vivant Skin Care’s Maxilip Lip Plumper different from the rest, this is not just made in balm form but also provides moisturizing ingredients. Plumping agents from the past tended to dehydrate and stress the skin on your lips. In other words, you paid a price for using them and especially on a regular basis. Your lips would suffer and plumping lips that are chapped and peeling is not a good look, especially if they get red and inflamed. I have had products even cause a negative reaction and not only do what I stated above, but caused cracks and bleeding. That is one week of recovery at least with no lip anything but plain moisturizers. Let’s say I got good at doing my eye make-up! This balm from Vivant Skin Care allows me to suffer zero consequences and it minimally plumps my lips with no immediate adverse side effects. I have even at times reached for the balm just to add moisture to my lips, so it’s more than just wanting fuller lips. The Maxilip Lip Plumper balm made my lips healthier plus gave them a little boost, sort of like a comfortable bra for lips with a little augmentation. My only negative remarks is the petroleum by-products used are known carcinogens (petrolatum), I would love to see that replaced in the formula because Vivant Skin Care’s Maxilip Lip Plumper does have a good thing going here that needs in my opinion some tweaking. There’s minimal tingling and discomfort, and no pain, but there may be a price to pay for ongoing and continued use. The price point I do feel is a bit high for how the product performs. Yes, my lips were plumped but not what I feel $28 worth of plumping! That was a little negative to see because it works but just not that well and the agent that causes the fuller lip look does not last as well as it does in other brands. I see a $15.99 to $19.99 value, not a $28.00 (direct from the company). Third party sellers on Amazon have lower price points, so that would be an avenue to consider if I was buying the product.
