Have you tried the new Maybelline Lifter Plump Lip Plumping Gloss? Maybelline Lifter Plump Lip Plumping Gloss launched a little less than two months ago and I really thought it would be a lot more popular than it is. I just thought I’d see reviews for it everywhere but I haven’t quite noticed that across social media. Or perhaps I missed it considering how often the algorithm changes across these platforms I’m lucky to see anything I really want to see anyway! This formula is a retake on the popular Maybelline Lifter Gloss with a new plumping formula! I did question if we needed a new formula just because Lifter Gloss is brilliant already! It gives lips that fuller look, with a lovely bit of color, and plenty of shine. But I tried Maybelline Lifter Plump Lip Plumping Gloss and was like ok, you got something awesome here. Not everyone is going to love the formula as it does have a little bite to it but I will say Maybelline nailed it. It does give your lips a fuller, plumped-up look!

That’s why I hate the fact that they have this great formula already but decided to promote Lifter Plump Lip Plumping Gloss using influencers that already have lip fillers. Guys, come on!

I dunno how cold it is where you are but New York has some brutal weather at the moment and my skin has let it be known that it’s not happy about the current weather conditions. I’m starting to experience that gross flakiness around my nose and patchy dry areas on my cheeks! I’m starting to sheet mask almost every night now (I normally do on every other night but lately, it’s a mask a night for me!). I went through a box of My Beauty Diary Hyaluronic Acid Sheet Masks in a little over a week! It’s been rough!

I know you’re likely tired of hearing about these two products already but if you haven’t yet you need these two items to winterize your skin!

Dermablend Insta-Grip Jelly Primer 3-in-1 Multi-Tasking Primer is a gripping gel facial primer that’s on sale on the Ulta App for $21.

If you love J Pack Jelly Primer, E.L.F. Jelly Pop Dew Primer, and Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer this is something you most definitely will want to explore!

Dermablend Insta-Grip Jelly Primer 3-in-1 Multi-Tasking Primer arrives in a 1 oz pump and will set you back $33 at full price. Thanks to Macy’s having it on sale today only you’ll pay $17.50. Sadly, compared to Milk Makeup this is a good deal smaller as that’s $30 as well but does contain 1.52 oz of product.

I love this stuff.

This is a gel texture that absorbs easily but does feel sticky initially. As it sets the stickiness does disappear. I actually like that sticky feel as it feels like it plumps up and firms skin once you apply it. It does feeling moisturizing as well! The interesting part of the product is the stickiness lends a helping hand to foundation as it grips foundation and provides this smooth, well hydrated surface for foundation to adhere which results in longer wear.

J Pack Jelly Primer has sort of become harder and harder to come by (they sell it on Costco’s website if you can believe it) lately! When I discovered this I was so happy as it makes a great replacement for that formula. Sadly, it doesn’t have the same ingredients but the textures are very similar and the fact it extends the wear of my foundation is a plus.

Dermablend Insta-Grip Jelly Primer 3-in-1 Multi-Tasking Primer is fantastic and remains on my ride or die list.
