I didn't buy this product with the expectation of plumping my lips as my lips are quite full naturally. But, I did want a lip primer or base that would extend the life of lipstick and soften my...

****I just wanted to clear up a misunderstanding with this product.*** The name of the product is Volume Booster Primer... this is suppose to be used with the volume booster lipgloss. It is not...

This product does absolutely nothing for me but add a little shimmer and smooth my lips out just a teensy bit. I could get the same results from my lipbalm. It doesn't add any volume to my lips...

I've been using this for a little over a year (since it came out) and am on my 3rd tube. I have horribly dry, flaky lips and normally, lipsticks look nasty, gunked up and migrate to the cracks but...

I'm giving this stuff 5 lippies, in spite of the fact that it smells intensely of vanilla, which I despise. It is so moisturizing and softens my lips making them appear much plumper. Worn alone...

I'm not sure how they market this as a volume booster. It doesn't do that at all. the most i get is a little bit of tingling.... on my tongue. >.< however, this works as a smoother for sure. and...

This barely makes a difference in my lips volume-wise and it doesn't make much of an impressive primer either. It is nice to smooth lips, I'll give it that. There's a slight shimmer to this lip...

I got this because I didn't want to use Carmex before lip product application. It works ok. It does have a shimmer to it but nothing noticeable unless you really look close in the mirror. It...

IMO, the only good this about this is the cute pink tube. the "primer" itself smells/tastes like old lipstick, it dries my lips out, its too slick to be a primer, it doesnt plump, and its way too...

I really really like this! I am usually a lipgloss girl because my lips always feel all dry and nasty with lipstick on, but this stuff makes them feel moisturized and it makes my l/s last a long...

it's really moisturizing, and smells nice. i personally think my lip glosses+lipsticks last so much longer with this under it, and the packaging is really cute and simple.

I don't wear lipstick often; I have chronically dry, chapped lips that tend to look pretty gross with any product other than lip balm on. I was a little skeptical because of the reviews saying that...

EDIT (3/16/08): Oddly enough, after about 3 weeks of regular use, this started making my lips flakey. I find it also sheers out my lipstick color more than I like (I wear a lot of reds, and when...
