Boost your pouting power at home by applying cinnamon! With a moistened cinnamon stick or a pinch of the ground spice) apply it on your lips before your lip color.You can also try one of the many new lip plumping products on the market today. Try one that contains niacin which causes veins to dilate, thus increasing lip volume.

Has anybody tried this and does it work?!
they look rusty huh
It really works!!angelina jolie puts cinnamon oil on her lips and it luks as if it has been stung by live bees!! try it,it will work!
For anyone who's tried the cinnamon thing, does it make your lips burn? Also, how long will it plump the lips up?
heyy. does this work with lipgloss?
or just... lipstick?
Yes, there is validity to the claim, but the effects sad to say are only about one-two hours in length. You definitely will want to use lip-COLOR on your lips unless your skin tone can accommodate the darker color of the cinnamon, and it (the spice) is uneven in color when you put it on your lips. There is a mild tingling feeling, not burning unless you have cracked lips. All in all, it's worth trying!
The cinnamon sticks work pretty well but only for a short period of time. What is it in the cinnamon that has this affect on our lips?
if anybody try it please contact me, in my country is very difficult to buy those plumping products...does it work?!!
Yes it works. The effects are not "Angelina Jolie" and last for only a couple of hours but are noticeable. Wear your favorite shade of lipstick over it to really get the "full" effect.
How long do you leave them cinimon sticks on your lips?
It works great! Last night i put on TONS of it then took it off a while later and my lips are still plumper! it stings and burns at first though, but that feeling goes away.
I just cinamon 10 min ago and I can feel the difference right now ! Incredible ! And it does'nt burn. Thank you for marvelous tips but I think i will buy the cinamon lipstick !
Super
where can i get them? tried shoppers drug mart, bodyshop, almost every beauty stores but could not find them....
omgomgomg this SO works!!
also to make your own cinnamon lipgloss: take some vasaline, a tiny itty bitty bit of any kind of lip stick, and cinnamon and mix. SO GREAT! it stings but I personally like the feel
Ok I just made some
Havent tried it on yet though but i will
I tried on the cinnamon
You can get this lip balm called Happy Talk at a store called LUSH, it has cinnamon and black pepper and boosts circulation, it's really good!!
cool i'll try it i hope i don't get an allergic reaction lol
I PREFER OTHER TECHNIQUES DUE TO REALLY I DON'T LIKE THE CINAMMON SCENT AND TASTE!
Can we just use cinnamon powder and sprinkle some on?...do we need to wear any lipstick or lipgloss?
luv,

Sally Hensons thin lip treatment is the bomb! It's the best lip plumber I've ever used.
How much is it?
oooh, I gotta try this and the cinnamon thing, too!!
Also, if you have your favorite lipsticks, get a small weekly medicine dose container, like the ones that have 7 separate little compartments in them, one for each day of the week.
Melt your lipsticks one at a time and mix in the cinnamon and lip gloss, too, if you want. You can do this right in a regular saucepan on the stove on very low heat, and it's not a messy thing.
Pour the mixture into the Sunday compartment. Then do your next favorite lipstick and cinnamon mixture, and pour it in the Monday compartment, and so on.
This way you can carry 7 of your fave lipsticks with you in your purse all in one neat little container. You will need a lip brush though, or Q-tips to apply the lipstick.
What a great idea! I am going to try it...Thanks :)
Does the cinnamon thing help really really really thin lips?
i think it helps personally.. all i did was put lip chap on and then cinnamin, then lip gloss.. the cooling feels really nice!!
I also think that Sally Henson's lip products work well.
CAUTION: Yes i tried the lip plumping lip gloss from bath and body works....worked beautifully on my sister who has normal/thin lips. I on the other hand have thick and full lips. I tried this on Christmas day and it lasted for two days looking as if i had been punched in the face.Dont use w/ full lips.
it doesnt really work for me. i put some cinnamon on my lips and i was just stuck with little bits of cinnamon on my mouth.
