Bobbi Brown Extra Plump Lip Serum

 

Kiss goodbye to dry, dehydrated lips this winter with Bobbi Brown’s delightful Extra Plump Lip Serum.

This luxurious, deeply conditioning serum delivers instant, long lasting hydration and shine to visibly plump, soften and smooth the appearance of fine lines.

 

 

Presented in a chic, transparent, rectangular tube with an elegant, embossed silver lid, you can see the soft pink hue of the serum captured inside, inviting you to drench your lips in its nourishing, comforting veil.

Enriched with a plethora of skin loving ingredients, the formula boasts a blend of six botanical oils including avocado oil, olive oil, jojoba oil and babassu oil along with deeply nourishing cocoa seed butter to offer superior hydration.

 

 

Powered by Bobbi Brown’s exclusive Extra Plump Complex, it also contains powerhouse collagen-supporting actives and hydration additives to soften, hydrate and plump a lacklustre pout both immediately and over time.

Remove the lid to reveal the super soft applicator and you’ll notice that the serum features a subtle hint of colour to help enhance the natural beauty of your lips, making it perfect as a treatment to be worn alone or over the top of your chosen lipstick.

 

 

Thick and rich yet completely silky and soft without a hint of greasiness or stickiness, the formula glides across your lips, quenching as it goes creating the sensation of supple, comfortable lips.

The subtle colour helps to breathe life back into your lips while offering a barely-noticeable effect and the delicate sheen reflects the light to create the illusion of a fuller pout.

 

 

If you love the intensity of a lip balm paired with the enhancing powers of a plumper and the sheen of a gloss, then this little gem is definitely for you as it succeeds in delivering each of these elements.

Bobbi Brown’s Extra Plump Lip Serum is available now and costs £29.

Alpha-H Absolute Lip Perfector

I love a good lip balm, let’s be honest, who doesn’t. They are a staple of most people’s beauty regimes and during winter months, I consider them to be a necessity!

Sometimes however, just a regular run of the mill balm isn’t quite enough to soothe and protect your lips and you need something with a little more pizzazz, a lip treatment for example.

Alpha-H’s Absolute Lip Perfector is a multi tasking lip treatment which has been designed to nourish, protect and lock in moisture for softer, fuller lips.

This little tube of lip loving joy is a combined serum and balm which is infused with peppermint and wild mint to offer a fresh and retro scent. 

It contains Zinc Oxide to reduce irritation and inflammation on dry chapped lips and also provides a broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection which is so important.

Honeycomb extract nourishes and conditions and a blend of super micronized hyaluronic acid and collagen boosting Tripeptide-1 plumps, redefines and minimises fine vertical lines to reduce the signs of ageing and keeps the lip contour more firm and supple.

Also, the micronied moisture particles are able to penetrate the delicate lip tissue area where they swell to increase lip volume as well as aiding moisture retention.

Told you it was so much more than just a lip balm!

On first inspection it doesn’t look like anything special. It is a fairly light balm that is absorbed quickly into your lips leaving a soft sheen and a slightly tingly peppermint sensation.

It is non greasy and sits on your lips for some time meaning you don’t need to continually reapply it which is great. 

Lips instantly begin to feel softer and more moisturised and unlike some other balms which just sit on top like a film, you really can feel that this balm penetrating the lip area and repairing it.

After 3 days of using this exclusively I’m pleased to say that my lips feel beautifully soft and plump and any dry chapped areas that once were are no longer there.

In terms of noticing its plumping qualities, I can’t say I noticed a huge difference, neither with regards to fine lines around my lip but perhaps I need to give it a bit more time.

That said, for those of you hunting for the perfect lip balm that will actually help your super sore, dry chapped lips and actually works, you should really try this.

I know it’s not cheap at £19.99 for 10ml BUT a little goes a long way and just have a re-read of all the lip loving ingredients this lip perfector contains. Can your regular balm boast the same? 

Didn’t think so.

The Alpha-H Absolute Lip Perfector costs £19.99 and is available now QVC, M&S Beauty, BeautyBay.com, CultBeautyco.uk, LookFantastic.com and Mankind.co.uk.
