Although this is quite an expensive product in theory, it does work well. I will continue to buy this product but will only use it once a week or when my lips really need some extra TLC.

I would not recommend this. The mask is a herbal mixture which only exfoliates the lips (the same can be achieved by a herbal mask/but do you want that?!) a lip balm is plain, thick and not at all effective regular balm for me.

I have been using this product for a couple of months now. I bought two of these introductory kits and am still on the first one. but I'll buy the full size when I run out. I believe I've really made a discovery with this product! However I apply it slightly differently than instructed on the box. I am a bit of a lip product junkie. I have various balms, etc that will promise the world when it comes to plumping but usually only keep them hydrated at best. My lips are not thin by any standards, but I long for a fuller pout. Both of these products have a very slight (minor next to most products which aim at plumping your lips) tingle but I really don't mind... and ok I almost wish they didn't taste so good as it makes me occasionally lick my lips now. On to the application-the box says to apply the mask to the lips and let sit for 3-5 minutes. I had a bit of an epiphany one day when I did this. I looked at the idea of trapped body heat when applying a hair mask or steaming when you have a face mask applied. I decided to try an experiment and used some plastic wrap (a very tiny amount obviously placed over the lips for about 10 minutes while the mask did it's work. I could do my mascara, hair, etc. while it was working. I pulled off the wrap (ok btw I shouldn't need to say this but I will - I only cover the lips and not my nose as well hehe) and voila -plumped lips! I then tap a bit of the mask in and wipe off the excess and follow with the balm which is brilliant and also increases the volume I think ever so slightly (and I'm thrilled that it has spf in it). I follow with any lipstick or gloss. You have to keep up a daily application of this though, I stopped for a few days and noticed that my lips looked slightly less full so I'm back to doing this once every day. I've also just discovered Niod bio-lip which I was shocked by the result from the very first application for colour and plumpness. I will be using that along with this and have my full lips without the insane cost or pain of injections. This is a beautiful product and I think I will always be using. I'm glad I tried it.
