Soap & Glory

I love this gloss - it gives you a tingly feeling that plumps your pout and the colour (I tried Down and Dainty) is the perfect pink shade. Would definitely try more Soap & Glory products!

I really liked this lip plumping gloss. It went on smoothly and only a small amount was needed as a little goes a long way. It wasn't sticky and lasted well. My lips felt plumper after a short while. I will definitely be buying this in the future.

Great gloss that gives lips a nice tingly feeling for a short while after application. Can get a little sticky but not uncomfortable.

Packaging - the product was beautifully packaged, making it feel very luxe and special which, for the price tag, was a really nice touch! Product - on testing this product I had very high hopes as it claims to plump lips 'on contact'. The amount of product you get in the tube is very decent at 7ml, so if you like the gloss, it won't run out too quickly! Application was very smooth and the product glided on with no clumps thanks to the soft doe-foot applicator you receive in the gloss. Although it applied nicely, the formula of the gloss itself is very sticky and has almost a glue-like texture; in addition to this it is also very highly scented with a sort of chocolate-orange/honey type of a smell. I think it's down to personal preference whether or not you like a highly scented gloss, but for me it was offputting. In terms of pigmentation, the gloss is almost translucent when applied to the lips. I tested the shade 'pinkredible' which is a very Barbie-pink type of a shade and on applying to the lips it looked almost like a clear gloss! The actual plumping power of the product was extremely good. It didn't instantly plump 'on contact' as it claims, but after around 5/10 minutes the buzzing sensation began to occur. When the ingredient activates a cool sensation can be felt on the lips but it is in no way uncomfortable or unpleasant. When comparing my lips with the gloss and without the gloss there was a noticeable difference in size; even upon removing the gloss, my lips still felt bigger than usual. The product is not long-wearing and will be mostly removed after eating/drinking which is something to think about as the gloss would need to be re-applied throughout the day.

It's not a shiny as I thought it would be initially so it's been nice to wear as an everyday gloss. Smells great too! Not as 'tacky' as some glosses which is great. I wouldn't say I saw any 'plumping' effects but the tingling sensation was fun! Lasts hours, even after eating.
