Secret Agent Beauty Secret Lip Affair Plumping Lip Gloss is an extremely cool themed-product with great packaging. I love the whole “secret beauty agent’s” theme they have going, and how everything is named and packaged after it. It’s definitely different than anything I’ve seen on the market, so I was really curious about it. I have a love-hate relationship with lip plumpers. I love products that claim to plump up your lips, but I’ve also had some serious horror stories when it comes to using lip plumpers. One gave me a bright red, stinging rash around my entire mouth that made me look like I got punched in the mouth and had a disease. And it didn’t go away for almost a day! I was excited to put this one to the test and hopefully not have any injuries.
The packaging is adorable. I love the whole “spy” theme they have going on with their cosmetics. I love that they have built a beauty community around their brand, as well. They have a social aspect to their site that allows you to share tutorials, looks, video, and articles, and even chat with friends. You can join the fun at SABsocial.com.
The product comes with a doe-foot applicator. The color is really pretty, and this is one I will reach for a lot. I honestly find myself housing “my-lips-but-better” colors in my purse the most, because they go with everything and anything. If I’ve really done up my eye makeup, I want to keep my lips subtle but still sexy. This shade is the perfect example of one I would reach for constantly.
You can see that it has a subtle natural pink color to it that also catches the light. The shimmer in this is what makes it, and is also what is going to make your lips look more plump and luscious!
Va-va VOOM! I love, love, love the effect. It takes very dry, boring looking lips to the next level without being really loud. The shimmer highlights the center of your lips, making them look thicker and more shapely. This lip gloss has a really natural feeling to it, as well, which I love…almost like peppermint. It leaves your lips feeling refreshed and cool, almost like after you’ve brushed your teeth and that minty feeling is left.
I can’t say enough about a lip plumper that has a very “natural” plumping effect to it. I want my lips to be enhanced, but I’m also realistic and know that without plastic surgery, there are limitations on how much larger my lips are going to look. This enhanced my lips in the most natural way possible, and it didn’t irritate my skin or my lips at all. It felt very cooling, very minty, and very refreshing. I could definitely tell that this has aloe in it because it just felt so soothing and moisturizing on my lips.
Overall: I love this lip plumping gloss! The effect is subtle, sophisticated, and natural, and the plumping effect is cooling, minty, and refreshing without being irritating at all. The gloss is completely non-sticky and felt really moisturizing. The color, Foreign-Intelligence Flirt, is a beautiful natural pink shade with shimmer in it that will go with just about anything.
