Plumper Lips Without Pain

It's a plumping glossy balm. No needles involved!

Hello, Gorgeous!

I love glossy summer lips; less so when the gentle summer breezes cause my flyaway hair to get stuck to my lips. You know what else I could do without? Plumping lip products that hurt. Milani has a new (slightly expensive for) drug store option that ticks all the right boxes. Spoiler alert: my hair still gets stuck to my lips when it’s windy, though.

Milani Keep It Full Glossy Plumping Balm

Milani's newest launch is a three-in-one delight. Apply a single light coat for just a hint of color and the tiniest bit of extra. Slick on a bit more for extra gloss and extra plump. If you’re feeling dramatic, apply a lip liner with a similar tone or in a similar color family and fill in with glossy balm.

Meanwhile, I’m not going to make this an extensive glossy lip plumper review since it’s a fun product and perfect for summer. Colors I love: Ballet, a softest pink. Moi, a hint of mauve (reminiscent of MAC Lovechild), Truffle, a deeper brown that adds an unexpected zing to a summer look. Excuse me while I layer some more on to see if it starts hurting at any point. So far, so good! ($16, drugstores and milanicosmetics.com).

Any thoughts on balm/glosses? Seriously. Why are these so addictive? Let’s meet in the comment section to discuss!
