I tried the NYX Duck Plump High Pigment Lip Gloss in the shade ‘Clearly Spicy’ (clear shade) for the first time looking to get some extra plumpness for my lips. Upon application, there is a slight tingling sensation after about 5 seconds which is supposed to indicate the plumping ingredients going to work. The tingling feeling goes away after about 15 minutes. The gloss itself feels very smooth with a nice shine. I was expecting to see visibly more volume and fullness to my lips but unfortunately I did not notice a significant plumping effect. However, I do like the way this gloss makes my lips look shiny and slick. It provides a nice wet glossy finish that I think makes my lips appear smoother and healthier. The wand applicator makes it easy to evenly coat lips. ... MoreI tried the NYX Duck Plump High Pigment Lip Gloss in the shade ‘Clearly Spicy’ (clear shade) for the first time looking to get some extra plumpness for my lips.

However, I do like the way this gloss makes my lips look shiny and slick. It provides a nice wet glossy finish that I think makes my lips appear smoother and healthier. The wand applicator makes it easy to evenly coat lips. I'm not convinced about the plumping claims with this product but I enjoy it as a high shine lip gloss that makes my lips look moist and bright. So while it did not really plump as much as I had hoped, I think I will keep using it for the shine alone. But overall it does deliver great reflective shine to lips if that’s the look you’re going for!

As a lip plumper, this product definitely works. My lips appeared noticeably plumper, redder, and smoother after applying this product and the effect lasts for a bit even after the gloss wears off. The gloss itself is smooth and not too sticky, and it doesn't clump up between the lips. It also has a slight cinnamon scent. This product plumps the lips using a strong spicy sensation, which the packaging does fairly warn you of. I had heard that this product was painful to use, and while the sensation is definitely strong, I personally found it to be bearable. It feels very similar to when you eat very spicy food and it leaves your lips burning. It wasn't so uncomfortable that I ever felt the need to remove it, but I think everybody's tolerance for that kind of feeling ... MoreAs a lip plumper, this product definitely works.

It wasn't so uncomfortable that I ever felt the need to remove it, but I think everybody's tolerance for that kind of feeling will be different, and I wouldn't blame anybody for wanting to avoid it entirely. If you have used other lip plumpers before and find that kind of sensation tolerable, I think this is a nice affordable option with a flattering gloss formula! If you haven't tried them before, however, you may want to test something more gentle first.

Okay so literally really impressed! First of it does sting but aside that the pigmentation is rich and vibrant, it delivers a bold color with just one swipe. I love how it instantly gives my lips a fuller look without feeling too sticky or heavy. The sting effect does fade quickly, but it definitely adds noticeable volume. The longevity is pretty good for a gloss while it doesn’t last all day, I only needed a couple of touch-ups. I also appreciate that it hydrates my lips and doesn’t leave them feeling dry after the shine fades. The packaging is sleek and feels luxurious, which is always a plus. One thing to note is that the plumping effect is more subtle than dramatic, so if you’re looking for extreme volume, you might need to layer it with a lip liner.

Mixed Feelings

I have this now in 6 shades after watching numerous swatching videos online. Unfortunately, when I went in store thet didnt have a tester for every shade, which I find bad considering you can't return them if not satisfied. The assistant would not provide a tester. When trying the product at home none of them look the same as they do when looking at them in the container or seeing the swatches online they come up very different on me so I suggest you try swatch if you can and pick wisely. I ain't usually a fan of glosses as they naturally wear off quickly. However if I was going to wear a gloss this is a nice one as it does have a good opaque colour and I like the formula my lips felt so hydrated even at night when I removed the product my lips feel in amazing ... MoreI have this now in 6 shades after watching numerous swatching videos online.

I did notice tingling it was comfortable for me. Accidently getting some product in my mouth did make me cough a bit, nothing alarming, though. I did not notice any plumping at all, though, which is what I thought this product was for. I think it's over priced consider it don't deliver on its plumping promise. However, I would personally buy it again as I was looking for colour, not plumping.

Pleasantly surprised!

I didn’t have high hopes for this because I’m honestly not usually a fan of NYX lip products. I love their eye and face stuff, and was stocking up during the sale, and needed to hit the free shipping minimum so I got this in Lilac on Loc.First, when I put it on, the applicator was pretty good. I was able to control where and how much of the product went on. That’s good! Second, the tingle kicks in almost immediately, and be careful not to get any on your teeth or lick your lips because it will be spicy in your mouth in a not fun way — like burning. But I was surprised to see the plumping happen almost immediately.That said, I wasn’t a fan of the shade on me and the thickness/opacity of it so after it sat a few minutes, I used a tissue to press my lips and that ... MoreI didn’t have high hopes for this because I’m honestly not usually a fan of NYX lip products.

But I was surprised to see the plumping happen almost immediately.That said, I wasn’t a fan of the shade on me and the thickness/opacity of it so after it sat a few minutes, I used a tissue to press my lips and that removed just the right amount. Then I lined my lips (with another brand that I love for lipliners, sorry) and I realized that I love this stuff! And it works!Now, I already have decently sized lips. But what this gave me was a puffier, “3D” volume that definitely stands out from a side view, and which I can also discern from the front.I think sometimes those who have thinner lips really hope for these lip plumpers to perform miracles but there’s really only so much that they can do. If there’s not a ton of lip material to start with, even if the product works great and plumps lips by say 15%, 15% of 5 is less than 15% of 10. See what I’m saying?Anyway, I really like this product and may buy it in other colors!

Would buy again, really spicy!

I was given the opportunity to test this product as part of the Superdrug community. As someone with really thin lips, I was excited to test this! I tried the shade 'clearly spicy'. The packaging is nice and bright, love the warning tape I think it's really fun. It has a nice large applicator making it really easy to apply. It's a lovely thick texture and goes a long way. I didn't find it too sticky either. This shade is clear so looks great on its own or could be used to layer over the top of a lipstick. It has a slight scent, I could really smell the ginger in it, which is what gives the plumping effect. It took about 10 minutes for the tingling to kick in for me but when it did, it really did! The tingling sensation lasted about 20-30 mins for me but it's not ... MoreI was given the opportunity to test this product as part of the Superdrug community.

The tingling sensation lasted about 20-30 mins for me but it's not uncomfortable. The lips were visibly plumper I couldn't believe it. I also found the gloss stays on for ages, even when eating and drinking. The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is because I did somehow manager to get some on my tongue which is easily done when talking, eating etc, and my tongue was slightly on fire then it made me cough, made me laugh but not ideal. Regards of the little cough, I love this product and will be using again, I can't wait to try some more shades! Also this is cruelty free and vegan friendly

[Rewarded Review] Slight boost in lip plumpness and fullness

At first when I tried this I was a bit worried thinking it might not work as well as I wanted but it actually plumped my lips. I personally don’t have huge lips, just mediocre ones. Not too small and not too big, this did a nice job giving them a small boost.It has a fat applicator (I prefer the thinner ones because I’m able to get a better coat so this is more or less based on preference). It doesn’t seem to have much product in it, but it’s not like you need a lot anyway to cover the entirety of your lips. The tube is cute and fits nicely for on the go.It has a terribly awful smell, I can’t stand it to be honest, this may not bother some but for me it was just…ugh. Especially when some of the lip gloss accidentally went on my tongue. It does have quite a ... MoreAt first when I tried this I was a bit worried thinking it might not work as well as I wanted but it actually plumped my lips.

Especially when some of the lip gloss accidentally went on my tongue. It does have quite a sting, however, it’s not terrible. It’s basically like having a few chili peppers on your lips, that’s about it. The sting goes away only if you wipe it off, wait a few minutes and you’ll be good to go again. This gloss is also quite sticky, not like your drugstore Nicka K lip gloss, but I wouldn’t suggest not wiping it off if you’re trying to use a lip combo under or over it, unless that’s your style because personally, I didn’t like that look on me.
