I have very large lips naturally. So I would never buy this product. I got it as a gift for my birthday from my mom. Boy was I puzzled, apparently she thinks I need plumper lips.
NYC claims:
Maximize your assets with NYC New York Color Lippin' Large Lip Plumper. It gives you noticeably fuller-looking, plumper lips – plus a sheer wash of color and shine help to further enhance lip shape and fullness. The warm tingly sensation feels just like the rush of a major gain in your stock portfolio! Lips look and feel fuller, plumper and kissable. At a price even Wall St. would envy, things are really looking up!
I'm pretty disappointed with the color. It is very very sheer. So much so that I forget I put it on, then go to drink something and leave this imprinted on the glass. It looks kinda like dirt too. Not a good look.
As for the plumping effect, I don't think it works. Which for me is a good thing. It just kinda tingles. I think that's because it has peppermint oil it it.
It smells like peppermint oil too. I'm glad about that because some of NYC lip products don't smell to pleasant.
Another thing I noticed is that this stuff is actually pretty moisturizing and when it wears off I'm left with super soft lips.

What's scary is the ingredient list. I can't even say most of that stuff. But the cinnamon oil. peppermint oil and the Shea Butter are nice. Even if they are in extremely small quantities.
For me, no reccomendation. I'll be using the rest of it as a base before I apply lipstick.
Sorry, N.Y.C
sweetie those parabens are harmful!! Google some of these ingredients.
