This The Inkey List lip balm is fantastic for not only hydrating my lips but also giving them an almost high gloss look. It's packed with oils such as olive oil, sunflower, Babassu, and castor oil, along with shea, mango seed butter, Cupuacu seed butter and squalane These work well on my lips to keep them feeling silky smooth and well hydrated.
What I particularly like about this Tripeptide Plumping Lip balm is how long it lasts on my lips. I have used a wide range of lip balms that I have to constantly reapply as it comes off when I drink or simply wear off quietly. This lip balm has really good longevity. Even after drinking, I can still feel it on my lips. It also seeps into my skin with the oils that are in it.
As for the plumping effect. Whilst I've not always reapplied at least 3 times a day, over the past months that I have been using it, I have noticed some difference.
This balm has a thick gel/waxy type of texture, which is very easy to massage into my lips.
