Grande Cosmetics GrandeLIPS Plumper

I cannot believe I’m typing a review about a lip gloss and yet here I am. I decided to give a lip plumper a try before I broke down and went to injections and man am I glad I did. I could see improvement in thinness and plumpness right away but the crazy part is that with daily use (maybe 1-2 times/day) they are visibly more plump *all the time*. Like, even when I wake up. It’s wild. Is it as much as a lip filler would do? No, but I also only felt like I needed a little boost at this stage.A couple notes:- This does have a slight tingle (weirdly it seemed more k tense when I first started using it but now i barely notice it). Compared to the Too Faced plumper which I had been using before, this is nothing. I had to stop using the Too Faced one because I felt like it was burning my lips off each time- also unlike the Too Faced plumper, the response with this product is actually durable beyond just the period that it is on your lips. And it makes them feel more moisturized - I don’t feel like I have to apply a balm right away after it wears off.- The applicator sucks. You have to click a button at the bottom and wait for it to come out the plastic applicator. Half the time I click not enough or too much. This isn’t a deal breaker for me, but a good old fashioned wand in a tube would be just fine.I’ve only been using this for two and a half weeks so we will see how long the tube lasts, but honestly I don’t even care if it’s short lived, I’m gonna put this on subscribe and save.

Very nice lip gloss. I have the nude and pink shades. Both colors look great and the gloss feels great. The lip plumping is subtle and lasts for maybe an hour, and I’m okay with that. I don’t want to run out of this stuff. Another manufacturer’s product left my lips feeling sticky and like they were on fire.

Spicy Mauve has been my go to color for a few years.I’m happy with my purchase, the color doesn’t stay on as long as long, My only complaint is…

The first time I ordered it, it had a seal around the cap that I needed to remove before use. The second order arrived with no seal and, honestly, seemed used. The box was all smushed as well - open on both ends. I was able to return that for a replacement. The replacement arrived and the box was fine but the product itself was covered in dust. Very grimy and gross. There was also no seal. This is a lip product and should have a safety seal so that you know it has not been used! Especially since it comes in an unsealed box. I have no idea why it is covered in dust. (The box is also not wrapped or sealed).

It really does work... the first time I bought this product was from a different vendor and as a lot of reviews state, the applicator can be problematic. I thought I would try again plus it was on sale. It worked beautifully like intended. If the applicator doesn't work correctly, I used one of my other sponge applicators instead. The product itself is really great.

Not to be confused with Ariana Grande make-up which I thought it was for the price. Quality was still good though!

Better than expected... I got the Mauve & will be buying more colors. My husband noticed my lips IMMEDIATELY first use! No weird taste... It's beautiful, plumping, shiny & long lasting. 5 Stars. Kim

I first bought this product in fall 2024 and felt it worked great. There was a strong (but not painful) tingle upon application and I saw visible results. But then I bought a second tube in December 2024 and it was like a completely different product; hardly any tingle at all and results were minimal, if any. It's a nice lip gloss on it's own but I'm not sure why the formula seemed to change so much between purchases. I'm not sure which version of the product is the "normal" performance of it so I've been hesitant to but it again.So it's either the best limp plumper I've found or not a lip plumper at all... depending on that batch's mix, I guess?The applicator is quirky but I didn't have problems with it breaking or becoming unusable like some of the other comments. It's similar to other pump pens I've used.
