Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Plumping Kit review



I've been meaning to review this lovely little set from Soap and Glory, but sort of forgot about it. For several months.

I'm pressed for time, so I'll keep this short and will let the pics do most of the talking.

Pros: The magnetic box it comes in is cute. It has a legit mirror (not one of those stupid plastic ones), and is decorated in the inside with what reminds me of skateboard grip tape.

The lip plumping crayon is the one of those big, fat deals. It glides on effortlessly, has good colour payoff, and is very moisturising. Does a great job of plumping. Has a nice scent, but I can't place what it is.

The gloss smells like cotton candy in the best way possible :-)

No creeping or smearing from either the pencil or gloss.

Cons: The gloss is thick sticky. Reminds me of the 'clear' Sexy Mother Pucker. I found it works better in warmer weather, naturally. A bit too glittery for my liking.

This has been discontinued, *I THINK*. I saw they have another lip plumping kit on store shelves, but I've not purchased it... yet.


Left: Swatch of plumping lip crayon.
Right: Swatch of plumping gloss.



...and here they are together.



Verdict: Not bad, glad I bought this. Great for casual days, but probably wouldn't purchase again. It's the gloss I'm not keen on. I'll stick to my Sexy Mother Pucker in nude. I do, however, *love* the lip pencil.

I like! Reminds me of this YSL gloss that I'm running out of, that's been discontinued anyway. Looks like a good replacement. Very similar color.
