Pump Up the Volume: 5 Great New Plumping Products
Do you have thin lips but dream of having Angelina Jolie‘s uber-puffy pout? A flat butt, but secretly dream of looking like Kim Kardashian? Megan Fox’s sky-high lashes instead of your own stubby eye fringe? Well, friends, thanks to a slew of new plumping products, you can now achieve your dreams. And now, get ready to pump up the volume!
Rodial XXL Lip Liner
We’re obsessed with the XXL Lip Liner from Rodial, which truly does give you extra-large lips. Expect a creamy, soft formula to glide on easily with a tint that’s slightly darker than your natural lip color, and acts as both a liner and a lip crayon. A plumping complex, including vegetal filling spheres and hyaluronic acid, ensure lips appear smoothed and plumped with long-lasting hydration. As an added bonus, it lasts forever as is both waterproof and anti-feathering.

HydroPeptide Perfecting Gloss
Talking about pumping up the volume! HydroPeptide’s Perfecting Gloss is our secret weapon to a bee-stung pout. Its blend of volumizing peptides, niacin and triple hyaluronic acid improves volume, firmness and hydration while aiding in long-term tightening. The gloss comes in three shades: Nude Pearl (which, as its name conveys, is nude); a great red (Berry Breeze) and a pinkish hue (Beach Blush).

Lancer Skincare Volume Enhancing Lip Serum
Dr. Harold Lancer has done it again, and by ‘it’ we mean creating an incredible, age-defying product. His LANCER Skincare Volume Enhancing Serum is a luxurious formula that delivers immediately visible hydration and plumping while increasing collagen production over time to create naturally voluptuous, well-defined, supple lips. Sichuan pepper extract stimulates blood flow to the lips, while simultaneously improving lip color and tone. Coconut oil-based fatty acids quickly absorb into lips providing deep and long-lasting moisturization. It also contains dragon’s blood, a traditional Amazonian herb used for its healing properties and powerful antioxidant content. Bottom line: it’s a beauty wonder which will give you that lovely big mouth you’ve always dreamed of.

Clinique Chubby Lash
Chubby isn’t a word we always love applied to ourselves, unless it comes to our lashes—and in that case, the chubbier, the better! Clinique’s lightweight, Chubby Lash Fattening Mascara gives you the fat lashes you wish you had been born with by coating your lashes form root to tip for immense volume. Pigment-enhancing ingredients create rich, intense colors so that is easily buildable to achieve the look you want, while a volumizing wand adds extra drama. We’re especially digging the super colorful shades of dark teal and maroon plum, though you definitely can’t go wrong with basic black.

Pureleef Butt & Body Plumping Cream
According to Kendall Jenner, this product is “on fleek.” The super model is a fan of PureLeef’s Butt & Body Plumping Cream, which gives you curves in all the right places. The cream works scientifically with your body and fat cells through saarsaspogenin, an extract derived from the roots of the Asian botanical Anemarrhena Asphodeloides which gradually stimulates the installation and development of a subcutaneous fat layer which provides a plumper, less wrinkled appearance, and macelignan, which helps increase adipose tissue through stimulation of the PPAR-Y2 receptors. It’s seriously a modern day miracle cream considering that it uses natural active ingredients to stimulate your body’s own fat generation. Bootylicious has taken on a whole new meaning here.
