My Beauty Space : Product Reviews, Tips and Experiences

I was in Target recently, and since I’m scraping the bottom of my Lip Fusion bottle right now, I thought maybe I’d take a look and see what types of cheaper lip plumpers they had in the drug and department stores, and maybe save myself more than a couple bucks since Lip Fusion if about $40 a pop (althought worth every penny, to me at least). 

What I ended up settling on was a pink tube Sally Hansen “Thin Lip Collagen Boost”.  I liked the name, and thought wow if it could really boost my lips noticeably like it claims on the package, I’m all in.  The cost was about $7.00 at Target.  I put it on immediately when I got in the car since my lips happened to be parched (ok, ok, I was also curious to see what it was like). 

It goes on sort of like it has a grittiness to it, almost as if it has some sort of larger particles in it, which I’m not sure I like the sensation of so far.  It has a pleasant smell and taste, but it does not impart any of the fun but subtle glossy shimmer that the Lip Fusion Lip Plumper does, so I was a little disappointed by that. 

As far as moisturizing factor, it really doesn’t moisturize so much, because I had to put my regular chapstick over it after it had only dried on my lips for five minutes.  I did not notice any noticeable plumping of my lips, although I think I might have tricked myself into it for a few seconds, but then decided I was probably just fooling myself, making myself feel better about adding yet another product to the cosmetic graveyard in my bathroom. 

Oh well, it was a nice try.  I might keep it around for a little while and see if it grows on me….
