A BEAUTY guru was blown away by her new lip look.
She also learned her lesson the hard way: no pain, no big gain.
“Dollar Tree – craziest lip plumper,” said Kriss (krissleos) as she held up her thrifted find.
To make a full comparison, she used her tape test, which involved applying tape to the center of her lips, separating the two sides.
The time had come to see what plumping results the $1.25 Ioni lip plumper gloss would deliver.
She applied the purchase to one side and fanned her lips immediately afterwards.
It soon became clear why: swelling equals pain.
“Does it hurt?” asked one curious follower.
“Yes, it burns a lot,” she replied.
Kriss seemed to be in disbelief at the dramatic difference that lasted just seconds when she pulled the tape off.

Her eyes even looked like they were going to pop out of their sockets because of how plump they were.
It was still obvious which side was bigger when she grabbed a cloth to remove any residue.
The same Ioni lip plumper gloss could also be found for $8.50 on Amazon.
The purchase was described as high shine and ultra-moisturizing.
Fans were willing to suffer for the dollar deal.
“It burns poorly, but it gets the job done,” exclaimed a fellow beauty enthusiast.
“That stuff is so amazing,” another viewer shared.
“I'm going tomorrow now lol,” one follower chimed in.
