Quo Beauty Lip Boost Plumping Gloss

   This is a lip plumping gloss that gives your lips some colour and shine.

   Some of the ingredients in this formula are paraffinum liquidum, tocopheryl acetate (vitamin e), caprylyl glycol and menthol. Paraffinum liquidum (mineral oil) is an emollient, it helps to soothe and soften your skin. Caprylyl glycol is a skin soothing moisturizer that is also used as a preservative. Menthol is the ingredient that plumps your lips; it does this by irritating your lips which causes the blood to rush to the surface, making them temporarily appear bigger. This gloss is also cruelty free and vegan.

   The gloss is in a round tube with a light pink top and a see through bottom, with the name of the company and the product in white. The ingredients and the colour name of the product are on a label that can be taken off. I wish that the colour name was on the bottom of the tube instead.

   When I opened the gloss I noticed that it has a slight mint scent. It has a petal wand with a hole in the middle, which helps it to hold onto a lot of product, so that you don’t have to double dip into the tube. I also find that the petal wands make it easier to get into the corner of the lips. 

Lip Boost Plumping Gloss in Basic. 

   When I applied the gloss it felt thick but not sticky, I also noticed that there was a slight tingling sensation. The tingling sensation lasted for about forty five minutes, after the sensation stopped I looked at my lips and I noticed that they did look a little bit bigger than they were before. After I had the gloss on for about two hours I noticed that it started to feel sticky in the corners of my lips. The gloss and the plumping effect lasted for about four hours on my lips and during that time my lips felt hydrated.

  I think that this is an okay gloss for plumping up your lips. It gave me a subtle effect and depending on how sensitive you are it may work different for you.
