As I am sure you're all very aware- lip plumpers can be very expensive, and half the time they don't give results anywhere near what you want. To buy a plumper which gives minimum results you'll be looking at paying near of +$30. Which is not really ideal for a product which doesn't really do much.
Today I am telling you how you can make your own lip plumper, which also doubles as a lip scrub, for literally a fraction of the cost- and it actually works!
I've purchased name brand lip plumpers in the past (my most recent being:Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme) and have found this at home solution gives results identical, if not better, than these brand names.
**What You Need:
3/4 Teaspoon Coconut oil
1 Teaspoon Sugar (raw/brown/white depending on how much you want to exfoliate)
^1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
Toothbrush
Small Bowl/Container to store product in.
METHOD:
Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Once they have successfully combined with each other grab your toothbrush (preferably one you don't use on your teeth) and put some of the product onto the toothbrush and then apply to your lips- doing so in circular motions.
You want to exfoliate your lips and also stimulate the blood flow (which makes your lips plump.) If you don't have a toothbrush, no need to worry- you can just apply the scrub onto a finger and apply that way.
Do this for 2-3 minutes and once you feel you've exfoliated enough: grab a damp cloth and wipe off the excess product. Or, you can choose to lick it off as all the ingredients are completely edible ;)
Now I don't know about you but I find this alternative to brand name plumpers to be ridiculously cheaper and also gives amazing results! What do you think?

**When making this scrub/plumper I tend to only make enough for one use, but you can easily make as much as you like and store the product in an airtight container for future uses.
^ If you are not wanting to plump your lips and just want to make a product that exfoliates them: just remove the cinnamon from your ingredients :)
