Sally Hansen has a stellar line of products, from pedicure supplies, to nail polish, to makeup, to lip gloss. Their Lip Inflation lip gloss has been a favorite of mine for years, with plumping effects that look natural, and a variety of gorgeous, shimmering shades. In the drugstore recently, I saw that they had released a Lip Inflation Extreme, a more intense version of the original. Intrigued, I picked up the shade “Sheer Pink Berry,” and brought it home to test it out. Does Lip Inflation Extreme live up to my expectations for a Sally Hansen product?
Sally Hansen Lip Inflation Extreme in “Sheer Pink Berry”
Sally Hansen Lip Inflation Extreme contains an intense lip floss formula that supersizes lips for hours, without professional treatments. Plumping hydro-collagen complex with micro-spheres of marine collagen and hyaluronic acid capture retain moisture in your lips, contributing to Lip Inflation Extreme‘s immediate visible effects. Cinnamon extract and other ingredients enhance lip’s natural color so they appear pinker, healthy, and fuller.
Just like the original Lip Inflation formula, Lip Inflation Extreme has a spicy cinnamon scent and feel to it on your lips. With cinnamon extract in the formula, it helps bring circulation to your lips, for pinker, fuller lips almost immediately. I love the formula on this product versus other lip plumping products. For one, it does tingle a bit, but it does not burn, irritate, or turn the skin around your lips red. Some lip plumpers (which shall remain nameless) turn the skin around my lips red, itchy, and swollen, making the result literally look bee-stung…not sexy. You can actually feel this formula stimulating the blood and circulation to your lips, making your lips fuller and pinker.
The shade I chose, “Sheer Pink Berry,” is a gorgeous berry pink that has some pigment to it, but is sheer enough to be worn with a dramatic eye makeup look if desired. You can easily wear this lip gloss under or over your favorite lip product, as well, for an added plumpness. The formula was hydrating to my lips as I applied it with the lip brush applicator, and the formula is only slightly sticky. One positive about it being somewhat sticky, however, is that the gloss stays on your lips, where you want it, and not on the skin near your lips, or worse yet, on your straw, napkin, or someone else’s lips!
As far as results, I felt them almost immediately. My lips felt fuller, and puffier, and the circulation in my lips increased almost immediately. While the results are not hugely dramatic, it gave a noticeable difference without any type of plastic surgery enhancement, which in my book, is a huge plus.
Bottom Line: If you find yourself looking for fuller, pinker lips, Sally Hansen Lip Inflation Extreme is an excellent natural option for you. It can be layered with other lip products, and comes in various shades based on your preference.
Sally Hansen Lip Inflation Extreme can be found at all drugstores, as well as mass retailers such as Walmart and Target. You can also browse and purchase this product online by clicking the photograph and link below:
