Lippies have come a long way since the days of simple chapsticks and barely-there lip stains. Today, we’re all looking for that one do-it-all product that conditions the lips and the skin around them while giving the perfect amount of color. Being in my 40s, I don’t have time to mess around with gloopy glosses and stains that get into my fine lines. I need a lip product that not only delivers color but also smooths, so I’m less likely to need heavy-duty skin-care treatments down the road. Enter U Beauty’s Plasma Lip Compound ($68), a lip care wonder redefining what a “lippie” can do.
What It Does
U Beauty’s Plasma Lip Compound isn’t just a balm or a gloss—it’s formulated to give you younger-looking lips over time with a formula that goes beyond temporary plumping. It offers an immediate hydration boost but what I love about it is what it can do over time.
From the first application, my lips look and feel softer, smoother and fuller. After gaining a permanent spot in my purse, I started to see how it reduced the “barcode lines” that were starting to form from too many kissy faces in my selfies. It’s helping to restore elasticity, and I think it’s a smart anti-aging investment for anyone who wants a lippie that truly works.
Key Ingredients
The Plasma Lip Compound is loaded with peptides and ceramides. Shea butter and beeswax are the heavy hitters for hydration and nourishment, while salicylic acid gently exfoliates, smoothing the lip surface and prepping it for other products. I love to use it all day long and the color Fawn, in particular, gives the perfect warm beige for a pretty, natural-looking luster.
Bottom Line
If you’re looking to elevate your lip-care routine—especially if you’re aiming for a smoother, youthful look as the years go by—this treatment is a must-add to your daily regimen. You’ll find it hard to go back to ordinary chapsticks and waxy formulas. It gave me noticeable results, leaving my lips feeling plumper and looking fuller than ever.
