Ramy Rise and Shine Lip Gloss

by Shannon on February 12th, 2007

I’m not sure what to think about this lip plumper. When I use a plumper, I expect to see immediate results. Would you agree? The website says that this plumper works without the burning and tingling effects, so I knew not to expect this. However, I’m not sure exactly how it is supposed to cause any plumping action without “irritating” your lips into puffing up.

What the website says:

Six luscious light reflecting colors that plump up your lips without burning or tingling. Contains Maxi-Lip, a scientific breakthrough that increases blood flow to the lips without any unpleasant tingly side effects. The light reflecting quality of these gorgeous shades also helps to create the illusion of a fuller, more sensual lip. With 30 days of regular use, see a 30% increase in lip fullness and a 70% decrease in lines around the lips!

The color I have is Lil’ Something Something, which I think is particularly gorgeous. It is a 24 karat gold gloss that looks amazing. As with Lumene, I waited for an eternity for my lips to plump up, which they did not. I’ve only been using it for 2 weeks, but according to the details above, the plumpness (30%) comes 30 days after regular use. Who the heck wants to wait 30 days for their lips to plump? Also, without knowing exactly what the ingredients are in this “Maxi-Lip” concoction it’s hard to say if this is just a mind trick or truth. Also, interestingly enough, Lumene says their plumpers have “Maxi-Lip” technology.

So I will continue to wear it everyday up to 30 days and see if I notice a difference, but for now it is a gorgeous colored lip gloss.
