I really wasn't so happy with this product either. When I applied the lipstick it felt heavy and thick on my lips, something like having plastic over my lips, I really didn't Ike the feeling, once I applied the plumping gloss I was even more disappointed with this product. Everyone knows that plumping lip glosses make lips tingle or sting slightly but this lip plumping gloss made my lips burn like crazy. I was so disappointed. Plus after about 2 or three hours all of my lipstick and gloss peeled miserably and I wasn't impressed at all. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone, it's a very traumatic experience.
