Customers most agreed on the following attributes:
I got this in Ruby Kiss and the color was not as sheer as I expected but a good strong tint, which was a pleasant surprise. Doesn't sting but is very tingly.
Smells like ointment, feels like ointment, but doesn't taste bad. It works and looks great.
I have this in Baby Doll and I love it for adding subtle color to my lips. The "clear gloss" is not exactly clear-- a little bit shimmery, but I like that. It also subtly plumps, though not to the extent of Lip Venom. The plus side of that is that it doesnt sting-- it has a nice minty tingly feeling to it.

I got this one in Oasis and Champagne...even though they look like they would not even be close to the same color in what they actually come in, because they are so sheer...they look pretty much the same on my lips.
I don't mind, but because it's so sheer, I'm sitting here wondering why there's a clear gloss side. Either way, this feels nice on the lips...maybe not the best plumper, but it's not bad...plus the smell and taste are pretty refreshing. Buut it comes with very little product actually in it so it lasts only a few days, if that.
from Atlanta on 8/18/2008
I liked this more than I thought I would. I do feel that it plumped my lips...not massively, but definitely made them look fuller.
I kind of liked the tingle, too. And the flavor...nice and minty. The container looks nice. The color was a little paler than I thought it would be, but it's great for everyday wear. Pretty good stuff!
I got it in Ruby Kiss and it worked nicely. It didnt plump like the lip plumpers from Sephora but it is a nice alternative
from Tennessee on 8/11/2008
I find this plumping gloss to work fairly well but the color didn't show up very well on my lips although it did make them look shiny.Not bad for a dollar though.
from Delaware on 8/9/2008
This is my new favorite lip gloss! The clear side offers a great neutral sheen with the yummy scent of menthol. Noticable but not overpowering. The colored side is not entirely visible, but it does offer a great tint and it smells really nice as well. My favorite is the Oasis, but I also have the Baby Doll, which is great as well. Looove it!
I totally recommend the plumper, goes on smooth, and feels great.
Though the smell on both the plumper and the color are pretty bad... especially the color!
I got the kit with 7 colors, and only two out the seven colors actually show. The rest are VERY translucent.
Not true to color AT ALL!
from Youngsville, LA on 8/8/2008
This stuff is really great! I thought it would be more of a dramatic red, but the subtleness of it works great for me personally, as well as my skin tone. :)
from Oakland, CA on 8/7/2008
I was really pleasantly surprised by this lip gloss. I got the Plum Pout color, and it's just about the most perfect color for me. I don't know if every color is this good, but the Plum Pout is excellent. I like the mild minty feeling, and the gloss isn't too sticky (all glosses are a little sticky, right?). It doesn't seem to plump my lips, but I have tried much stronger plumping glosses, and those don't really plump either. The color is sheer enough for day wear, and might be a little too sheer for dramatic looks. The only downsides I have are that it doesn't last very long, and it smells a little weird (a faint ashtray smell). I'll definitely try other colors of this gloss.
If you don't like a minty smell you'll hate this lip gloss, but i really like the minty smell! Good as a light plumper. If you have really thin lips and need a really dramatic plumping job you might want to purchase something more hardcore. It tingles slightly but not as bad as some of the other plumpers i've used! I love the Oasis shade.

The plumping lip glaze is amazing! I don't know if it actually plumps the lips, but the white side is very minty and makes lips feel cool. Its a nice change from the burning of other lip plumpers. I got it in Baby Doll, and the color is a very beautiful light pink with shimmer. Its my new favorite lip gloss! The only bad side is after a while, it starts to leave a mildly bad taste in your mouth, but its no big deal.
from seattle,wa on 8/6/2008
the container was way to small. no real color.
from huntington beach, ca on 8/5/2008
great color and wear, tingling feeling. not sure if it really plumps your lips but i love it anyway!
from Tampa, FL on 8/4/2008
This glaze is very sparkly and tastes like peppermint! It gives the lips a cool sensation that isn't painful at all. However I haven't noticed much plumping. The size could be a little larger.
from B, NY on 7/31/2008
I love this Plumbing Lip Glaze. It really does plump up your lips and it's really moisturizing. I also love the fresh kind of minty scent it has. Great tint of color.
I find this product to be a little too glossy/sparkly for everyday wear at a professional job, especially for a woman (me!) not as close to my 20's as I'd like! It is fine for special occassions. I would absolutely love this product in a matte finish.
from Atlanta, GA on 7/29/2008
I really liked it; the white, plumping part had a very minty feeling. The color was also very pretty. The only thing I didn't like about it was that the tube was very small. After several uses, it's gone already. I guess that's what you get for a dollar anyways; I shouldn't expect so much.
from Atlanta, GA on 7/28/2008
Not too bad or too awesome. It does NOT sting, which is good. It is kind of more peppermint-y to me. I still use it every day!
Doesn't really last long and keep in mind that the colors are a bit darker than in the pictures.
from san jose on 7/28/2008
i like the stuff great product but there wasnt evough produnt in the container. in 5 uses its almost out.
The color is perfect if you like nude lipsticks, I use it over my favorite nude and it looks great.
from Houston on 7/24/2008
I purchased this product at my local grocery store and wasn't expecting much for a dollar and seven pennies. However, this product really is quality stuff. It feels like a chapstick or lipbalm but has the shine of a sticky lipgloss. It didn't really PLUMP my lips, but they looked pretty and felt great. I bought the baby doll color and it is noticable but not overpowering.
The downside is that there is not much product in the tube, so I would suggest stocking up, the mint taste also takes some getting used to.. but for a dollar, this gloss can NOT be beaten.
This is a great product. It looks and feels and smells great.
Its not as thick and "tingly" as the Victoria Secret lip plumper I have used in the past, but it is well worth the money. I am completely sold on this product!
from Augusta, GA on 7/18/2008
This gloss gave me the plumper lips I was looking for without irritating or stinging. There is a slight sensation, but it's cool and not very noticeable. Definitely worth the money!
I was skeptical b/c many reviews seemed to say this was too minty and smelled/tasted gross. I found that while the clear "plumper" smelled strong, the minty scent didn't put me off at all. I felt that the plumper was very refreshing, minty, no bad taste and made my lips feel cool. I didn't feel plumper but certainly enjoyed the sensation. The color side is sheer, I'd like to see more color but I like the color (baby). The color side isn't as minty, isn't gross or over powering.
I found that using the clear side to make my lips feel fresh and then the color side works well. Lasts as long as anything else, good color. Addictive! Not as much product as I'd like but that's fine, it's cheap so buy a few! Can't wait to try the others, so addictive!!
I love this plumper(the clear side)! I have never found a plumping lip product to actually plump. The others just sting and then get super hot which causes my face to become red AROUND my lips. I look as thought I have a red juice mustache, not pretty. This one has the right amount on zing. A minty zing that is. I love the clear side. The colored side I could care less. Simply because it smells disgusting. It has a slight mint smell mixed with a heavy chemical stench.
I think this is a great gloss, but the whole mint scent just ruins it. It barely even smells like mint, more like cough syrup as other reviewers have compared. It would be so great with any other scent. But, it's bearable only because the gloss is so great. If you put a fruity lip balm underneath the gloss, it's a little bit better. As for the actual gloss, i love the name that they chose for this; a 'glaze.' I think that a glaze really does suit this because its like it melts into your lips creating a perfect finish. It doesn't necessarily "plump" your lips, but no gloss actually does. Overall, still a really great product!
from san diego, ca on 7/16/2008
I have the ruby kiss and love the color! I like using the clear side too for a nice shimmery effect. It doesn't taste bad, but definitely not good. But I do LOVE the tingly feeling. I reapply just because it wears off. It would be nice if it tasted how it felt, minty.
from Rexburg, ID on 7/15/2008
I love lip plumping products as well as gloss with a bit of color in it but not so dramatic that I feel out of my comfort zone. I think this is a perfect balance between eye-catching cuteness and subtle beauty.
from new york on 7/15/2008
the product sort of had a peppermint feel.
and cooled my lips.
from Indianapolis, IN on 7/14/2008
I LOVE this lipgloss. My lips are pretty big so I'm not really judging based on if my lips are more plump, but I love the product. The plumping gloss does have a really nice (I think) minty smell and flavor. It lasts pretty long and is good for me as someone who works in healthcare and wants fresh breath but not to be chomping gum in someone's face. The actual gloss lasts a really long time. I carry it around in my pocket with me at work, but only have to reapply usually one to two times per day, which is wonderful, way better than others I've tried.
I agree with some of the other reviewers in that this gloss doesn't plump a whole lot. I don't really think anything does. The upside is that the formula is not drying and the minty flavor is nice, not too strong. The packaging is cute and easy to carry around. I have OASIS and love that it is a nice light color. I also ordered a few more colors to try. Overall, I like the super glossy lip shine better as the final lip gloss step but the two products together are great.
its akay not the best lip plumper but great for the price.
from Texas on 7/12/2008
Plumping Lip Glaze is a great product. I chose Ruby Kiss and the color is very true to what you see online. The first step is to apply the clear glaze. The tingling sensation startled me a first, but it is not unpleasant. Next, apply the color. I wish the color lasted a bit longer, but it may just be me; I seem to always have a problem with fading lip products! I used the Therapuetic Conditioning Lip Balm and Feather-proof Lip Liner prior to the Plumping Lip Glaze and loved the very finished, polished looking effect. Of all the E.L.F products I purchased, this one was my favorite!
I thought this product was overall really great.I got plum pout and it was really pretty and natural. I like the tingly feel that the clear gloss gave. The colored gloss is just natural and gives a hint of color.
Tastes good, moisture stays but color is very light and fades quick. Good for a quick lipgloss but will use for both gloss and over lipstick.
I just purchased this in Plum Pout and I love it. The plumping end is minty and makes your lips tingle. It plumps your lips a little bit, but I'm not too disappointed about that. The color I have is really pretty. This is smooth, not sticky like some glosses, and there isn't any glitter in it which I like. I have an 18 dollar lip plumper that plumps more but I like my dollar elf stuff better. =) I highly suggest you try this stuff out!
This product does what it says; plump your lips. It compares similar to my other higher ended lip plumpers. However, it has a horrible after taste.
a little drying
really like it other than that
best for night out or add shine
from Ohio on 7/6/2008
Like most other lip "plumping" glosses, this product does not deliver on its promises. I was less disappointed with that, though, than the fact that the product was extremely sticky and so minty that it was unpleasant to have it so close to my nose. It reminded me of that menthol goo you rub on your chest to clear your sinuses. The color was exactly what it looked like on the website, however, so I may still wear this sometimes.
from Minneapolis, MN on 7/5/2008
I hate sticky glosses that my hair gets caught in as soon as I step outside. This product provides a quick subtly colored gloss without that heavy, sticky feeling. No it doesn't last long but because it's subtle and light you can easily reapply without a mirror.
from norcross, ga on 7/5/2008
I LOVE this product. The color wasn't too over the top which I like since I'm more about accenting my eyes. Plus the plumping side is a great chapstick when your lips are dry and can't find your regular. It fits great in my purse or pocket and even though it tends to wear off a bit during the course of the day I found that if you put the color on first, let it dry and then add the plumper it lasts alot longer. I want to buy this product in every color and for a dollar its a great bargin.
from Austin, TX on 7/1/2008
I love the color (Ruby Kiss) and the smell is nice too. Only problem with it is it doesn't last longer.
from Denver, CO on 7/1/2008
I usually wear this to the bar. Love the tingling and I do notice it makes my lips fuller :P
from florida on 6/30/2008
I have this gloss in babydoll. If you can get over the terrible taste and smell, the color is great. It' very sheer and shiny, although it's not very long lasting. Cute, but you get what you pay for.
i love the feel of this lip gloss i also like that it has a minty scent instead of the same ol orange sugar smell. GREAT product!!
i use the plumping side first and one thing i was dissapointed was that the glaze was not clear but kinda white and it looked weird on my lips. but the color were beautiful ( i got baby doll) it was kinda clumpy . not the best plumping glaze there is but it does it job. it does plump your lips and gives a pleasant color
i loved the tingling feeling of the gloss! i got ruby kiss, and i liked the color. but the color bled off my lips so i had to keep touching it up.
from ST.LOUIS, MO on 6/26/2008
GREAT GLOSS. MAKES LIPS FULLER. GREAT PRICE. A LITTLE SMELLY BUT THATS IT.
The product is great, the great price was a bonus. It has a minty-plumpy feel to it when applied. I have super dry lips and it doesnt irritate them. Color is light and feeling is cooling, not sticky. I want more colors!!
from NY on 6/25/2008
These are very much a gloss...don't expect it to "color" your lips. I got the plum and the mocha and not only do they look like the same color in the tubes, they don't look like anything but shine on my lips. So if you're looking for just a shiny gloss, go for it. It goes on smooth and has a little minty zip to it. But if you need color, these are NOT for you.
from Somewhere in PA on 6/25/2008
I was really pleased with the minty smell and feel of the product (I hate plumping products with a cinnamon scent). Its very smooth and feels *fantastic* on my lips. I don't think it really has any plumping effect, but the product is nice anyhow.
One tube won't last long. There's not much product in those tiny ends of the container!
from Roanoke, AL on 6/24/2008
I purchased the Ruby Kiss color but it isn't near as dark as what is shown on the screen or in the bottle. I received my package yesterday afternoon around 4:00 experimented with the color and by the time I got home at 5:30 the color was almost faded off completely. I hadn't eaten or anything during this time frame.
from Charlotte, NC on 6/24/2008
I love the cooling affect of the gloss, but it's not plumping. The color is very true, but it does not last very log at all. It lasted all of 45 mins on my lips. Not very impressed with that, but I'll continue to use it, it just looks great when it is on.
I really like it. I like the tingeling sensation.
This is perfect for summer! It's about 90 degrees where i live and really humid. When i dont want a lot of makeup all i need is my lipgloss and bronzer and im ready to go. I will definitly buy it in more shades soon
I love this thing. It doesnt taste good but it is a good plumper. I ordered Ruby Kiss and it is great on my dark skin tone. Will buy again!
from Jax, FL on 6/20/2008
This gloss does nada as far as plumping but the tingly menthol in the clear gloss feels nice (the clear side alone works great as a simple gloss), and the color side is a true gloss that's not heavy or dramatic. Overall it's a great product at an unbelievable price.
Loved it! It has sparkles in it which look totally cool! I love the container it is in. I love that it has 2 colors! The color looked great. I accidentally washed this product which was left in a pocket and there was NO MESS! Fantastic quality product!
great product. doesn't burn or sting. color stays on
from Lansing, MI on 6/18/2008
I have used several plumpers (including some high-end Sephora brands) and have yet to find a product that truly delivers on it's "plumping" promise. This product is no different. It's not revolutionary in the slightest.
What it is, is a nicely packaged, decent smelling, tasting, and feeling, everyday gloss/lip tint.
The color is very sheer, but is pretty (I bought Ruby Kiss) and I'm pleased with it for daytime use. The feel of the "plumping gloss" is cooling and great for a hot Summer's day!
from Atlanta, GA on 6/10/2008
I really enjoyed this product. The container is conveniently sized, small enough for a purse but still a full sized product. The white part of this you can definitely feel. As far as it's plumping qualities, I can't review since I don't enjoy plumping products. I smelled it, it did have a strange scent but not overwhelmingly so. Once it's on, you cannot tell. My sister loves it and uses it daily. I use the color side frequently-- it's not heavy or tacky. The finish isn't shiny, shimmery would be a better word. I top it with a clear gloss if I want to have "going out" lips.
from Indiana on 6/9/2008
I'm very pale & the color baby doll is perfect! It's very natural looking.
from Indiana on 6/9/2008
I really like the scent and the tingling sensation it gives but it's no more than average and it really doesn't plump much. I ordered Ruby Kiss and Fire Coral. The ruby added some nice coloring but didn't last long. The Coral didn't add much coloring and didn't last either. Overall I really liked them for the minty scent. I don't think they smell bad at all!
from Dallas, tx on 6/9/2008
I just got my order today. I love this product. It makes my lips feel great. I go the Ruby Kiss and Mocha Ice. Both colors are nice. They are not too harsh. I did apply the clear first as directed. The colors look natural. I highly reccommend!
from Jersey Shore on 6/6/2008
I bought this in a neutral shade for all of my bridesmaids, along with one for myself (I can't turn down lip gloss!) and we all thought it was really good! Everyone was happy with it!
