Here at Metro Shopping HQ, we’ve tried scores of lip products that claim to leave you with fuller-looking lips, with only few giving us tangible results.
And, of these success stories, a fair amount would leave our lips tingly and stinging, plumping our lips but at the detriment of comfort.
So, you can imagine our delight when the uklips Plumping Lip Glosses dropped onto our desks, claiming to plump and hydrate the lips without any pain, uncomfortable tingling or superficial moisture.
Available in both a Clear and Rose pink finish, the uklips Plumping Lip Gloss is a hybrid, three-in-one balm formula that works to plump and nourish the lips while leaving an ultra high-gloss finish and zero stickiness.

Available in both a clear and Rose pink colourway, the uklips Plumping Lip Gloss is a hybrid, three-in-one balm formula that works to plump and nourish the lips while leaving an ultra high-gloss finish with zero stickiness.

And truly, the feeling of this gloss on the lips is heavenly.
Despite being a gloss, the balm-like stick glides on like silky smooth butter, instantly hydrating the lips for hours of comfort without top-ups. And that’s coming from a dry lips girly.
While I’ve used the clear gloss up already (clearly I loved it), the Rose finish is in my current rotation, and I absolutely love the universally gorgeous, just bitten hue it leaves on the lips.
The glosses have also been infused with menthol to provide an utterly satisfying cooling feeling on the lips, which has been a godsend through London’s heatwaves.
And for total ease of use, the gloss sticks boast an innovative clicker tube design to help reduce wastage and release the perfect amount of product every time you need it.
