Spent years lusting after Angelina Jolie’s lips but live in fear of injectables? We feel you. If you have the pain threshold of a toddler or faint at the sight of needles, filler may not be an option, but that doesn’t mean you have to do away with the goal of gloriously plump lips altogether.
These plumping products will have you on your way to Ange levels of fuller, plumper lips in no time, with nothing more than a tingle along the way – and of course, a temporary result that lets you test-drive your fuller kiss. Pucker up.

Have you tried lip plumpers before? What were your thoughts?
I have a Too Faced one but I already have plump lips so I don’t really need it.
Lucky you.
I have found that they dont really plump your lips at all. Well nothing has worked for me
Have you tried Peppermint Oil? It has to be pure to work.
I love my Naked Sundays lip oil. I have the salted caramel one. I’d love to try the new flavour and also would like to try the Clinique moisture surge lip product too.
I definitely need to try one of these.
I must try one or more of these products.
When I see some women who have there lips plumped they don’t look great. My opinion only of course??
I kinda moved on from glosses. They just don’t last , of course, but I prefer treatment products then lipstick
OOhh, I want to try the Maybelline one.
Love the Naked Sundays but I’ve misplaced it somewhere!
I’m not a big fan of lip plumping. It’s too easy for it to go wrong.
I’ve never used a plumping gloss, as the tingle sensation isn’t my fave feeling.
I want to try the Naked Sundays one!
Wow. I didn’t know these were available in a gloss. Worth a try.
Definitely want to try e.l.f. Cosmetics Lip Plumping Gloss.It looks great value.
I’ve never tried one, I’m currently wanting to try a lip oil and seeing how that goes.
I have very dry lips due to a medical condition and havent really found any miracle products yet.. I wonder if my lips would react badly being more dry. Would like to try though!
I’m not sure how these actually work but I probably need to try
