Review: Fullips Lip Enhancer: does it really work?

Hi my lovelies,

I hope you are all keeping well.

Today, I will be talking about an amazing little lip plumping enhancer that is completely safe to use and have had such a big hype over recently. Sounds too good to be true right? I initially thought the same.

Who wouldn’t want fuller, plumper, fluffier lips? Unless you have the lips of Angelina Jolie Pitt then in which case you can completely disregard this post.

                                                                 

I first came across Fulllips on Instagram and saw how it had worked for many people with videos and pictures as proof. Truth be told, I was a little sceptical at first as to how a bit of plastic can create fuller lips. Surely using a cola bottle lid would create the same effect?

Over the years, I had tried many glosses and serums that claimed to make my lips fuller and plumper, all of course that never did work and thus I swore not to purchase a lip plumping gloss ever again.

It wasn’t until the lovely Linda offered me a chance to try full lips out myself and within a few days the cute beautifully packaged items arrived in the post.

The kit contains a large round shape, a Medium oval shape and a small oval shape to fit several types of lips sizes and shapes. Additional items such as a toothbrush, lip gloss, lipstick and lip liner can also be purchased as part of the kit.

So how does it work, I hear you ask?

Let’s be honest here, to get the hang of using this took me a few goes. After a having a little play around, I found the large round shape one worked best for me as I was able to grip it better. Which size enhancer you use completely depends on what works best for you. For instance, if you are already blessed with full lips (I am not unfortunately) then the large round one will most likely work best for you. With thinner lips and a wider mouth the medium oval one will probably work best. This is also amazing for creating fullness where it is specifically required for instance say the top or bottom lip. The small one can be used for more targeted areas based on preference.

Step one:

Use an old toothbrush (optional) and brush lips to smoothen and soften them out, Place Vaseline on your lips as moisture helps to suction and grip well. Place the desired shape over lips, relax lips and gently suck as if you are trying to suck all the air out of the enhancer. It does get a few goes to get the hang of it, lightly suck as it you are drinking a thick milkshake from a straw or sucking a baby milk bottle. Do it for at least 30 seconds until the enhancer sticks onto your lips, gently pull off and repeat until your get the desired plumpness. The fullness is created by drawing blood to your lips each time you suck so do please DO NOT go sucking crazy when you first use this product as it can cause light bruising. Eeekk.

Step two:

After plumping, you can apply lipstick or gloss straight away and create the illusion of even bigger lips by using a lip liner and drawing slightly above your natural lip line.

The kit does come with a full set of instructions too so you are not completely clueless when you first get it. Linda strongly suggests starting off with light and gentle sucking until you get the hang of it. It is actually pretty addictive and I often do it whilst applying my makeup and doing the ironing.

So, does it work? Hell yes, my lips definitely plumped up after using this and I noticed it stayed plump for at least two hours. This little kit is perfect for using on shoots, photography, weddings, to pucker up to someone and just generally as an enhancer. Unlike most plumping glosses I have tried in the past, this actually works, can be popped into my handbag (although I’m not sure I would actually use this in public, can you just imagine the stares!) and has zero side effects if used correctly and results are instant. What’s more, you can use it as much or little as you wish to create desired effect without having to resort to injectables and look like a duck. There are even reports that say continued use of this over a month time can permanently enhance lips a little, however this is something I need to try out.

That’s all from me today, if you are looking to create fuller plumper lips instantly than this is the one. If you have any questions then feel free to leave them in the comments section below.

Valentines Day Gift ideas: Him and Her.

Hi my angels, hope you are all well.
. 
Today for the first time, I decided to do a Valentines Day gift idea for him and her as lets face it, for most of us life can get oh so busy at times and we tend to leave the gift buying for our significant others to the last minute. I have put together a short gift buying guide below with details of where you can purchase them from. Don't fancy or don't have the time to hit the shops? Well thank heavens for online shopping. Now the below are just as a guide only and may not be to everyones taste, but hopefully it will give you an idea or two. Don't celebrate Valentines Day? Not to worry, these are fab as gifts all year round too. 


The significant her:

Women love candles right? Particularly the pretty looking ones that smell equally gorgeous around the home. it cannot get any better than the Jo Malone candles, with a wide selection to choose from, you will no doubt be spoilt for choice. These however are not cheap and can set you back a few bob, yet if she is anything like me, shell keep the empty jar and store her cotton wool pads in it. And if you're feeling super generous cos she is worth it, then throw in a matching cologne too. She'll be loving you eternally. My personal favourite? The Lime, basil and mandarin. Check out the collection here 

There is no better way to say 'Be my Valentine' than with a fab YSL lipstick in a classic rouge. She will keep it aside for special nights out only and woo you with on a date night. Nothing makes a lady feel more sexier than a red designer lipstick and the packaging a la Yves Saint Laurent is oh so pretty. Shop here . 

It is the thought that counts right? Baby its cold outside, every girl will want to own a pair of genuine leather gloves with a cute little bow design. These leather gloves will keep her well manicured hands warm on the colder days, yet look incredibly stylish at the same time. The best part? These very ones have special tips to use with touch screen phones and tablets. Well how else will she take a selfie with them on or update her Facebook and Snapchat? Shop here 

The significant him:

Ladies, chances are we know our man well and do not need to refer to a gift guide. Chances also are that their gift is well and truly wrapped and hidden away to surprise him later with, but just in case you have not, here are a few ideas that spring to mind. 

We like our men smelling their best and despite the few bottles of cologne they already have on the dressing table, it doesn't hurt to buy one more. It doesnt get more indulgent than Tom Ford's Oud Wood. Rare, exotic and distinctive indeed. This doesn't come cheap mind you, but I am certain it will turn heads and will last absolutely ages. Shop here 

Men and their cars are like women and their handbags, we want a new one every so often and would love to sample a classic Chanel tote for the day. If he hasn't done so already, book a Ferrari driving experience, a true super car and no doubt every mans dream to hear to sound of its engine. Not only will he experience 3 miles of an adrenaline boost, but will also receive an individual driving experience certificate to finish. Book here .

Ladies, aside from a man with clean teeth and nice aftershave, there's nothing sexier then whipping out a classic LV wallet when he is paying for your coffee. It shows class and good old Louis Vuitton will last forever. He will think of you each time he pulls it out. Its compact, has eight card slots, a transparent window for the cute family photo as well as leather lining and a coin pocket. As the name suggests, it doesn't come cheap but it sure is an investment. And if you are feeling super duper generous by chance, why not head into one of the stores and get it personalised for your special man. Shop here

And there you have it, three perfect valentines Day gift ideas for him and her. 

Until next time, love and lipstick xxx
