    I found PD Perfect Illusion for Lips years ago when I "didn't really need it." I liked it, but it fell by the wayside. I really need it now and tried the old tube on my lips (yuck--I hate old...

    When I use this, i don't really see any difference in my lips.. The lines were still there, and my lips didn't get any plumper or anything like that. I kind of like putting it on before I put...

    The saleslady said it would fill in the lines right where I have 2 major lines. You know the ones on the peaks right below my nose. Most smokers have them. I don't smoke. I guess I'm just lucky...

    I like this lip base because it makes my lips appear much fuller without applying strange, tingly chemicals as found in other popular lip plumpers. It fills in all o the crevices in the lip,...

    I used to buy this when I worked near a Sephora but I stopped because the stick kept breaking and the product would be loose in the pen/tube. Also, you really don't get a lot of bang for your buck...

    You're supposed to be able to use this product both for fine lines and migrating lipstick. I bought it to smooth out some fine lines around my eyes so I can't say if it works as a lip treatment. ...

    This works SO well, better than DeGroovie from Benefit, which is harder to apply. It is perfect for lipgloss especially since all the "invisible" lipliners are too light for me. I also use this...

    This really works. My lip lner and lipstick look so much better with this. It is a little expensive ($20USD), but I haven't found another product of this type that works as well. Most lip primers...

    I am so pleased to have found this product; it literally damms up the fine lines around my lips to keep lipstick in place. It is emollient, yet doesn't feel the least bit waxy or greasy. Lipstick...

    I sampled this product a couple of times and saw no difference. However, in general, I really like the Paula Dorf line.

    This stuff is fabulous! I don't know about filling in lines, but it's the best lipstick primer out there - really keeps any color and any formulation from bleeding and really anchors the pigment to...

    I smell a holy grail! I haven't put this to a real, purposeful test yet, but I have noticed that when I look in the mirror and my lipcolor is bleeding, it's a day I forgot this. When I look and see...

    I tested this in Sephora, liked it, and on a whim bought it and took it home. I debated for awhile on whether or not to keep it, but after rereading the reviews in Productville I decided to give it...

    I bought this based on the reviews I read here. I don't get it at all! To me this is a $20 chapstick. It didn't make my lipstick stay any longer... It didn't plump my lips. It did nothing for...

    Perfect Illusion is *the* product I have been looking for. I use it as a clear lipliner--it is great because nothing bleeds through this, and because Perfect illusion is clear, I need it only for...
