The Bye Bye
Beauty series will feature a product I felt did not live up to advertised
claims, had a bad formula or otherwise did not meet my expectations.
The first product
that is featured is the Physicians Formula Plump Potion in 2214 Pink Crystal
Potion. I bought this during a Saving Series haul because I was
curious as to whether it would actually plump my lips.
The Claims:- Instant plumping effect
- Instant hydrating and smoothing
- Younger, smoother & fuller looking lips with
continued use
- Instant results in 60 seconds
- Non-irritating
- Long-lasting shine
The Result:
I was not
impressed. The formula smells horrible—like plastic-y mint and you can
basically taste the smell (if that makes sense) because it is so strong. It
tingles when you put it on, so I guess that’s it working?…
Now believe
it or not, I got scientific and put these claims to the test. I actually
measured my lips before, 60 seconds after and 5 minutes after putting on the
Plump Potion. I repeated this on different days. There was no difference in the
width of my lips and the lines on my lips were not smoothed out. They
did not feel more hydrated either. The gloss was very sticky. It was not
irritating, besides the tingling and slight redness around my lips. This did
not last after I took the gloss off, however.
The gloss
itself looks very nice on the lips and I think the glitter in the gloss could
give the appearance of plumper lips on some. If it didn’t smell so bad, I would
use it as an everyday gloss. This product just did not do it for me, luckily I
got it basically for free with coupons.
