If Only Britney Had Used This Lip Plumper She Probably Wouldn’t Look So Crazy

What: SkinMedica’s TNS Lip Plump System, $41

Why: Every girl has her own beauty secrets. One of my best friends swears by the Pond’s cold cream her grandmother used for years (we think genetics probably had more to do with it than the heavy cream). Another friend insists that navy mascara works much better to extend her lashes and add depth than everyday black. And me? My secret can be found in lip plumping systems.

The newest addition to my arsenal for pouty lips is the SkinMedica’s TNS Lip Plump System. A two-pronged approach, the lip renewal helps smooth the lips, softening them while reducing surface lines. The lip renewal can also be used on its own to moisturize the lips whenever needed.

When its time to pump it up a notch, I follow up with the lip plumper to enhance texture while increasing the natural lip color and volume, with or without lipstick-added color. It adds the perfect "pump" in a pinch and can quickly turn your look from office conservative to dinner date ready.
