Realistic expectations from plumpers... and this still sucked.

Sally Hansen PM Lip Plumper - No.  It will not plump your lips.  (But not much will)

As far as moisturizing goes, it does a pretty ok job.
Here's the claim:
"Wake up to fuller, plumper, shapelier lips
Collagen enhancing Peptide complex delivers full plumping benefits as you sleep.
Micro sponges help trap moisture in lips, making lips look plumper, fuller and more volumptuous.
24hr Time Released Retinol boosts moisture and smoothes the lip's surface night & day"
(1st of all... micro sponges?  wtf)

Those are some pretty big claims to make Sally Hansen.

I bought this 75% off at CVS... they were trying to get the old tubes out to move in the new tubes that have an applicator that you can apply directly to your lips.  Typically, this product runs about $11.50 a tube.  Don't waste your money. 

It's a peculiar little product... 1st of all, it's a white cream that looks and feels like a lotion... and you put it on your lips. : /

Anyways, you squeeze the product onto your finger and massage it into your lips before bed.  It has no particular smell or taste to it.  Presumabily, you will wake up to plumper, shapelier lips.  It feels okay on your lips, not too terribly heavy.  It sinks in fairly quickly too, which is a plus.  No sticky goo on the pillow.  Anyways, the next morning my lips are soft and comfy, and definitely healthy looking, but I don't know if it's really worth the 11 bucks they're asking.

Overall... smooth healthy lips in the AM, but don't expect miracles; it doesn't even tingle or stimulate your lips like a typical plumper.  I will definitely use it until the tubes gone, it wasn't terrible and like I said, the next day my lips did feel nice.  HOWEVER, I wouldn't repurchase, and I would suggest that anybody runs out and buys it (save your money, chickies).
