Vaseline Serum Gloss

I’ve always been a fan of Vaseline products, so I was excited to try this new lip serum. When I first noticed the word “plump” on the packaging, I was a little cautious, as plumping products can sometimes cause a tingling or stinging sensation. The packaging explains that it contains ingredients clinically proven to plump lips over four weeks, however after fully testing it, I didn’t notice any visible plumping. The good news is that it doesn’t cause any tingling or discomfort, which will be a positive for those with sensitive lips.
Vaseline describes this as a tinted lip gloss with sheer colour, which is what I was expecting. In practice, the texture is quite thick and the colour applies more opaquely than anticipated. That said, I really like the screw-top tube. As someone who experiences hand pain, I often struggle with traditional pop-off lids, so this felt much more manageable and well thought out. The nozzle is quite fine, but because the formula is thick, I found it applied more evenly with a lip brush.
On the lips, it doesn’t feel sticky and genuinely feels hydrating, which I really appreciate. While I personally found the colour stronger than expected and wouldn’t describe it as sheer, it did last well for a gloss and felt comfortable to wear. There is a good variety of shades available, so if you prefer something more subtle or less noticeable, choosing a shade closer to your natural lip colour may work better.
Overall, this is a nourishing lip product with good staying power and thoughtfully designed packaging. If you enjoy hydration with a more noticeable colour, it’s worth trying. However, if a very sheer, barely-there tint is what you’re looking for, this may not be the right fit.
