Plumping Lip Glaze! e.l.f. proudly presents a revolutionary lip plumper, infusing Natural ingredients that awaken your senses for fresh, volume enhanced, and moisturized lips. This dual sided Plumping Lip Glaze has a tinted color for a subtle plump or a clear gloss that power plumps your lips, use together and instantly feel the lip enlarging effects!"

Jen's Experience: These lip plumpers are really more of a lip gloss on one side and a lip plumper on the other. The clear side definitely created a tingle -- it's best not to kiss some unsuspecting person after applying it! I find myself using the gloss more than the plumper, and I have definitely added some of the colors to my rotation. I tried the 7 piece set, which included nearly every shade they offer. One of my favorites was Ruby Kiss, a bright red color in the tube, but much more subtle on. I found it worked well with outfits that really need a red lipstick, but when I'm not in the mood for upkeep on a bright color. I was surprised to find that Mocha Ice was such a good shade for me. I usually stick to more pink shades, but this one really worked for me. For that reason alone, I highly recommend getting the whole set so that you can test them out on your own. At $1.00 a color, you can afford to have a few that don't work out. I have only one complaint about the product. Some shades seemed to dry out quickly (or I just used them up quickly), which was strange since I've only had them for about a month. Maybe it's a fluke, but just something that you should know before you purchase. Would that keep me from buying them? Nah, with great colors and a super cheap price tag, they're an easy way to bulk up your lip gloss wardrobe without breaking the bank.

Retail Price: $1.00 each or $7.00 for the set (eyeslipsface.com)

What They Say: “Grab, Snap, and Go! Now you can have your lip gloss with you at all times, and a color for any occasion. With 8 Hyper Shiny, Sweet, and sheer colors to choose from, you can make the trendy statement that everyone will talk about. These savvy cell phone charms are easy to attach and simple to interchange to personalize nearly any cell phone! Fashion and Function...life just got better!”

Alissa’s Experience: I think I’ve found the perfect lip gloss for a night out. Even without a cell phone, these things are small enough to fit in the tiniest of purses, the tightest of pants, and maybe even your bra! Each one is only 1 3/4 in long so you can travel with all 8 without compromising valuable handbag space.

As for attaching these glosses to your cell, I suppose that makes a lot of sense when you consider that not many girls leave home without either item. The loop is easy to clip onto the lid of each gloss and they seem to stay in place really well. I find it a little annoying to have a little pink piece of plastic dangling beside my head during conversations, but hey, at least my lips are never dry!

My favorite shades are Honey (shimmery bronze) and Blossom (peachy pink). All of the colors are very sheer and pretty and the gloss is smooth and long lasting. The smell reminds me of the play makeup they sell for little girls, which is not that bad but definitely that good either.

Retail Price: $5.00 (at eyelipsface.com)
