So I went to Walmart a couple months ago and saw this pretty looking lip stuff, this Maybelline VolumeXLSeduction Lip Plumper.  I'm not all that into makeup and I wasn't paying attention to it being a lip 'plumper' at the time but I brought it home mostly because it was such a pretty shade of pink.

When I put it on the first time I thought it was kinda weird.  The plumper gives your lips this tingly/numbing feeling whenever you put it on but after a little while, maybe 5 minutes or so, the tingly goes away.  The color was amazing, was definitely one of the best shades I have ever seen and it gives the lips this nice shine that doesn't look too unnaturally like you just ate chicken and forgot to wipe your lips.

I didn't use the product for a while, kinda just tossed it to the back of my stuff.  It's been about 2 months or so now and I pulled the VolumeXLSeduction Lip Plumper back out the other day.  Put it on just like before and got the same tingly reaction I got before.  Nice stuff.  Next day I used it again.  Problem was, the tingly didn't go away for a long while this time and then the numbing started to settle in, it came to stay.  It's been two days now and my lips are very very chapped and numb and a bit swollen.  There are little bumps on the rim of my upper and lower lip.

I have Cortizone-10 Plus on my lips right now as I write this, which is actually working quite well.  The little bumps are all gone, numbing is starting to subside and the swelling's down a bit too. 

Needless to say, I have tossed the VolumeXLSeduction Lip Plumper.
