I have used the Dona plumping lip balm for several months now and have seen a difference in the softness of my lips. If you are looking for regular lip balm to keep your lips nice and soft, then this is the stuff for you. You can't beat the price for such a great lip balm.

I would compare this lip balm to Carmax, but a little thicker. It lasts about the same about of time and you get that same tingling sensation that you would if you have dry lips.

It does keep your lips nice and soft. It creates a tingling sensation when you first apply it, but that fades within a couple minutes. The first time I applied it, I had a slight freak out moment where I thought I was having some sort of allergic reaction. My lips were pretty chapped the first time I applied it, so I recommend not putting it on if you have extremely chapped lips. I use it almost daily and have not had a problem since. It makes for a great kiss if you catch your partner before it completely dries, because your partner will feel the tingling sensation as well. This lip balm also has a slight taste, but it's not overwhelming and it smells very good. The texture was very smooth and creamy and goes on very nicely.

I didn't think it plumped up my lips like it said it would. I was really hoping to get the whole sexy, pouty lips thing going on. Maybe it just depends on the person & how your lips respond to it. I was pretty disappointed with that aspect; because that is the main reason I purchased the lip balm.

One thing that I really love about Dona plumping lip balm is that it has some natural ingredients – beeswax, olive fruit oil, cocoa seed butter, shea butter, and honeysuckle flower extract, to name a few. It also has Vitamin E and Vitamin C which is a big plus.
