Nature Republic Honey Melting Lipstick 11-12 (11 Pink Transparent)

Very moisturizing for a stick. Adds a very nice touch of color too, natural looking. There is a tingly feeling for the plumping effect, but it doesn't bother me at all, it's pretty subtle. Overall a great product for a great price!

I find that as I get older I need to have lip balm handy every day, not just during the winter season, and as I get older my lips seem to be losing some of their fullness, so I wanted to try something that would allow me the moisturizing that I need with a little bit more fullness than age is allowing me, so I tried this product. The balm itself is a wee bit thicker than I expected it to be, but not so much as to be off-putting, and the scent is light and pleasant enough. After getting used to the plunger action to expose the balm from the tube, I slathered it on my lips and after a moment or two I began to feel it working. It began to tingle/burn shortly after putting it on, and I could definitely feel my lips doing something, mostly getting rosier as the pepper that is the activating ingredient worked on my lips. I can also taste the spice/heat when I lick my lips, but it's not too intense or horribly hot. It comes on strong, stays that way for a bit and then slowly eases, leaving my lips looking moist from the balm and reddened from the heat of the spice. Never having used a product that used spice before, I'm used to feeling that minty cool sensation with the last plumping product that I used, I have to say that if you want a very natural look, this product will give you want you want: natural enhancement of your own lip color, glossiness and a good level of moisturizing balm. Overall, I am pleased with the product, but I think that I'll keep it for when I'm looking for a little extra oomph when going out rather than just around the house. Given that it's in a long, narrowish tube that will easily fit in a purse of most any size, it will go everywhere, and because of the way it is extruded from the tube, you don't have to worry about it breaking off while you're applying it, and, lastly, a little goes a long way. I'm pleased with the purchase and will grab myself another when this one is used up. I hope that helps.

I very rarely leave reviews but this one is worth mentioning. I had this on (minimal reapplying) from around 10:30an to 8:00pm. I got compliments ALL DAY on my lips. I sent this product to so many people. Even if the shine fades after some time which is expected, the color lasts and doesn’t leave that tacky / silly putty like feel behind that I’ve find with almost every other lip product - it actually leaves a nice stain. I’m very excited to order one in a new color!!!

I loved one of the non-plumping lipsticks in this line, which I had originally mistaken for plumping and thought I'd try this. I thought the 11 Pink is light and could be layered with other colors and still have the plumping effect. Well, that is what I had hoped. This was barely stimulating. Maybe I'm too desensitized to spicy irritants and have to rub my lips with fresh ghost pepper! I'm still not sure this type of product works enough to be more than a mildly helpful gimmick (the most stimulating I've tried so far is a Maybelline gloss, and the effect is barely noticeable). The color isn't especially good on me, either. I'm pale and lean toward yellow. I think if you want to try this for the plumping, consider it a light gloss or base for another color to go over. It is slightly moisturizing and feels pleasant, and one of my favorite things about this line is the scent. It's almost floral! The clicking feature helps one to not overuse at once. I've had my non-plumping color for half a year, use it maybe twice a week and still haven't run out. It's not bad, but don't expect much of this particular one!

Love this lip plumper, wish it had longer lasting effects but it’s so good while it lasts
