For the past 5+ years, there's been a buzz around perfectly plumped lips, achieved by lip fillers. With an influx of celebrities and social media influences sporting fuller lips, it's become hard not to wish for a similar look. And I get it, along with eyes the lips can dramatically change a look and a fuller pout is generally more appealing.
Have I considered lip fillers? In a nutshell, yes. However combined with a fear of my lip line being injected, the pricey up keep and the worry that the near to permanent results could end up going wrong or not being to my liking, I've decided it's simply not for me.
However, if like me you are still keen to explore safe and natural alternatives then this review of the PMD Kiss Lip Plumping System may just interest you! Especially to see my results and hear how long the effects can last.
This post has kindly been sponsored by PMD, however all opinions are my own.
So what exactly is the PMD Kiss Lip Plumping System?
The compact hand held device is a natural solution to visibly plump the lips in minutes, with the results lasting hours! Think of it as a mini hoover for the lips, which gently sucks on the lips in 4 sections. Not only will this device give instantly fuller lips but also boasts that with long term use (4-6 weeks) it can stimulate collagen growth while reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles and creating long lasting results.
The PMD Kiss Lip Plumping System comes with - the hand-held plumping device, two interchangeable plumping tips (one small, one large), a USB charger lead, a lip plumping serum (to use with the device) along with easy-to-follow instructions.

How to Use the PMD Kiss Lip Plumping System
1. To start you will want to ensure your lips are free of makeup and clean.
2. Next, apply an even layer of the provided PMD Kiss Smart Lip Plumping Serum and wait a minute or two until it absorbs a little. Unlike other lip plumping lip products I was expecting something that would make my lips have that irritating 'pulse' feel, but in fact, the non-greasy chap stick like serum came with a minty flavour and only a mild tingle to the lips.
3. You will then want to grab the PMD Kiss, turning it on, placing the rubber lip against the lip to create a seal. Then allowing twenty pulses before moving on to the next section and so on, until all 6 sections of the lips have been covered.
For more fullness, you can change the speed, from fast to slow, which will give a longer suction to the lips giving more intense results. You can also add more fullness using the PMD Kiss on the inner part of the lips which I actually thought helped to add more fullness to my upper lip and achieve the results I wanted.
4. Once you have your desired lips you may want to slather on your favourite lip balm because if like me you may find the lip serum drying on the lips and want to hydrate them!
As for discomfort, there is none, just a mild sucking sensation that doesn't damage or bruise the lips. This is definitely a foolproof & safe way to get fuller lips!
Before & After Results
To give this a proper review I knew I had to include my results with the deivce! As you can see the PMD Kiss worked wonders on my lips to create fuller lips, especially with my top lip. This was on my 4th use of the device before applying my makeup and I found the result to last around the 3-hour mark.
I also discovered that using the device you can really decide where you want to add fullness creating the lips you want. That may be a fuller top lip, leaving the bottom lip alone. Or you may want to accentuate the corners of the lips or just the cupid's bow area. Whatever desired effect you want you can create it in minutes with this nifty device.
Although I can't report on the long term benefits of the PMD Kiss Lip Plumping System just yet, I am looking forward to continuing use of the device in hope of longer lasting results and naturally fuller lips when not using it - that would be amazing!
Ultimately I'm more than happy with how my lips look when using this device, especially when wearing favourite liquid matte lipsticks and would recommend it as a safe alternative to lip fillers!
Fee xo.
