Okay so I saw this Dior Lip Gloss Plumper blowing up online, claiming it makes your lips look bigger super fast. Thought, why not grab it and really test it myself? Grabbed my phone for before pics and just rolled with it. Here’s exactly how it went down.
Giving It a Go
Unwrapped the box – fancy as you’d expect for Dior. The gloss itself felt sticky right out the gate. Smell was kinda minty, strong. Put it on clean, dry lips. Used the wand thingy inside the tube, wiped off the excess so it wasn’t a total mess.
- First Swipe On: Whoa, instant coolness. Like putting Vicks VapoRub on your lips! Bit of a tingle, kinda surprising but not painful. Left a clear, shiny layer. Could definitely feel something happening.
- Two Minutes In: That tingling got warmer. Like a subtle heat. Lips started feeling slightly tighter? Hard to tell if they actually looked different yet or just felt it. Peeked in the mirror – definitely shinier, but size? Meh.
- Hitting the Five-Minute Mark: Heat dialled down. That plumped-up, tight feeling was more noticeable. They felt… fuller? Swollen almost? Not crazy bee-stung levels, just like they had a bit more volume naturally.
Checking the Results
Jumped to check the before and after pics side-by-side.
- Color: Looked nicer! Pinker, more alive somehow.
- Surface: Way smoother! Fine lines looked blurred out.
- Actual Size: Okay, here’s the kicker. Did they magically double? Nah. But absolutely a subtle difference. Edges looked a bit clearer? Plumper right in the middle. Definitely a small boost.
The Real Deal Afterwards
Kept it on a while longer. The shine faded a fair bit after like 30-40 minutes. That “plumped” feeling chilled out too. But the smoother texture and nicer color stuck around longer than the actual volumizing effect.
So, Does It Do What It Says?
Honestly? Yeah, kinda. In just 5 minutes, it’s not a miracle worker making lips huge. But:
- It gives a temporary little plump.
- Makes lips look and feel smoother.
- Adds a nice shiny pop and color.
- The tingling? Weird but manageable once you know it’s coming.
Is it magic? No. But it does do something fast. Worth it if you want that quick, slightly fuller, glossy look before you head out. Not gonna lie, I was surprised it actually delivered on the claim within those few minutes, even if the effect wasn’t massive.
