As others noted, your lips should be in decent condition when approaching this lovely Aventurine Kiss Lip Serum. The purpose is to plump and hydrate - not "repair" unhealthy lips. First, get your lips in decent condition (stay internally hydrated!). I sweep the beautiful crystal ball across my lips once (once is really all it takes), massage my lips together well to work in the product, get my beauty rest and voilà - the next morning my lips look 10 years younger. I was initially skeptical because of the reviews, but am SO GLAD i got this. Love it!

Between the roller applicator and the actual product, the combination feels so good when applying. It’s more like the consistency of a gloss, without being sticky. I ordered 2...one for home and one for on-the-go. Unfortunately, 1 of these doesn’t allow for enough product to come out when applying : (. I’m going over the lips extra passes but for very little product. It’s definitely a bummer for the price point and not sure how to pop off the rollerball top to access more product. Love the other one just fine though. Too early to notice any lip improvement overall.

This feels nice at first but then after a minute or so it gets really harsh and stingy. I keep going back to give it another try, but the only result I've gotten is that it makes my lips and the skin around them red--and not in a good way. Love everything else of odacite's but would recommend skipping this one if your skin is sensitive at all. Almost feels like something went off here...
