Lip Plump by Benefit Cosmetics ($20 in US; RM 95 in Malaysia)


I must admit, I’m a cosmetics person. From the very basics to the full coverage, I’ve got them all! One part I don’t dare to touch is my eye area (they’re TOO delicate~~, can’t risk having those fine lines…), so sometimes when I don’t get enough sleep I’d end up looking like a giant panda!


I always wondered how to put on more coverage to cover my dull and partially discolored lips. Different shades. Different brands. All tried and tested, none worked. Nothing worked until I accidentally ‘tripped over’ Lip Plump.


This godsend was given to me by my absent-minded sister (who buys EVERYTHING but can’t remember a thing she’s EVER bought, she even gave me the wrong instruction: wear AFTER your lipstick…???). After much trial and error, I finally got it right: Wear BEFORE your lipstick :-)


My first success looked like I had fuller lips, a nude and natural look (but we know it’s the lip primer…). This blessing-in-a-tube makes my lip color blend in more naturally with my cheek and chin. It always helps my lipstick to stay on longer. Perfect for any shade of lipstick you plan to put on.


Good to know though: It’s like a liquid foundation for the lips. Let it dry for 5-10 minutes before applying lipstick. Before Lip Plump, it’s advisable (optional for some) to put on a layer of lip balm on. Preferably with SPF.


5 out of 5 stars
