Lip-Plumping Bargains $10 and under
You don't have to pay a lot for basic lip plumper benefits - most drugstore-brand companies offer a lip-plumping gloss. Most often, these low-cost plumpers liven up your lips with shiny color and add a temporary pout with cinnamon or mint oil. Some women don't care for the tingling sensation these products create, but others find it appealing and enjoy the added mouth-freshening properties.
L'Oreal Infallible Never Fail Plumping Lip Gloss ($9.99) is one of the more luxurious lip-plumping options in the drugstore, giving your lips a noticeably plump appearance in seconds. This mild formula doesn't burn, sting, or dry out lips like some products. Best of all, the color really lasts.
Remember Bonne Bell, the maker of shiny, bubble gum-scented gloss from way back when? The company's look has matured, with an expanded affordable product line that's appealing to many women on a beauty budget.
Bonne Bell's LipLUSHous Plumping Lip Gloss ($3.95) comes in 6 delicious flavors promising to add shine and volume to your pucker. Users report a very subtle plumping effect, but say they still love this product for the flavor and great price.
NYC's Lippin' Large Lip Plumper ($3.99) features a strong spicy scent, from the cinnamon and ginger in the formula. It may be a little bit thick and goopy for some users, and the colors are very light and sheer, but for a bargain-priced plumper, it works fast with a noticeable tingle.
