Hey beauties! Mandy here, coming at you with some real talk about one of the most hyped lip products that’s still making waves in 2025 – the Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme. This lip plumper has been in existence for quite a number of years, but is it still worthy of your coins? So, without further ado, let’s talk about everything there is to know about this tingling sensation that is supposed to give you the Kylie lips sans the needle!
What Even Is Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme?
Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme is basically a lip gloss on steroids. It’s formulated to get you that plumped up pout by containing ingredients that dilate your blood vessels to your lips to deliver that coveted fullness that we’re all looking for in 2025. The formula has both fast results (hello, date night!) and long term goodness if you stick to it.
While injectable fillers are still trending hard in 2025, many beauty lovers are looking for less invasive alternatives, which is exactly where Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme comes into the picture. I’ve been testing this baby out for weeks now, and I’ve got thoughts!
The Science Behind the Sting
Let’s get into what makes this Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme actually work. The formula contains:
- Atelocollagen for smoothing and conditioning
- Marine Filling Spheres that absorb moisture to create volume
- Avocado Oil to keep your lips hydrated and soft
- Capsicum Frutescens Fruit Extract (aka pepper!) that creates that signature tingle
That little ingredient is actually the MVP here, it stings your lips (but in a controlled manner!) to get out blood to the surface, getting the plumped look. Basically just a smaller version of a controlled allergic reaction, which sounds a little crazy but a beauty hack for time immemorial.
My First Impression: The Tingle Is REAL
When I first applied Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme, I did NOT prepare myself for the feeling. The packaging- cute, a see through tube, which comes with a doe foot applicator that means that application is super easy. But girl when I say to you that this thing TINGLES… I mean it TINGLES.
It is as if I had just eaten the spiciest hot wings and then kissed an ice cube. There is burning, cooling, tingling, the whole shebang. The feeling did not earlier than 5-7 minutes for me, which is a lifetime for the first time around.
That may be a shock the system for newbie lip plumpers. But honestly? I live more or less for the drama of it now. It is like, “Oh, you want bigger lips? Work for it, honey!”
Does It Actually Work Though?
Here’s where we get real: Does Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme actually deliver on its promises in 2025, when we have so many alternatives?
After the tingle has gone my lips do indeed look fuller and have that fabulous rosy glow that looks perfectly natural. The result isn’t as dramatic as fillers (obviously), but it is enough for people to tell you that you look great when wearing it.
The direct effects are of 3-4 hours length for me, which is really good for a topical product. This is still a player by 2025 standards in which we have so many instant-results products taking over the world.
Long-Term Results: Is It Just a Temporary Fix?
Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme claims to offer cumulative benefits with regular use. I have noticed that my lips do look a little fuller even when not using the product after a regular use of it for almost a month (applying twice daily).
This may be because of a stronger level of hydration provided by the avocado oil and other moisturizing elements, as opposed to any lasting plumping. However, I’ll take whatever comes my way! When, in 2025, skincare and makeup will merge, these multi-functional products are exactly what we need.
Price Point: Is It Worth Your Coins?
As of 2025, Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme retails for about $32 (inflation, am I right?). That is definitely expensive for a lip product, but since it is both a treatment and a gloss I think it’s not too bad.
If we compare this with the price of the actual lip fillers (which are now faring around $800-$1000 per session in 2025), it is obviously much cheaper. However, there are much cheaper plumpers out there, nowadays especially with the dupes that have sprung up.
The 2025 Update: How Does It Compare to New Alternatives?
Since Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme has been around for ages, there are now tons of competitors. Some of the newer plumpers employ the use of peptide technology instead of irritants-the claim that this is less unbearable on the nose.
But honestly? I have used a number of those ”comfortable” plumpers and they do not give me the same effects. It is as if the sting still needs to be there for the most conspicuous effect. Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme remains one of the most effective over-the-counter options, even in 2025 with all our advanced beauty tech.
Who Should Skip This?
Let’s be real – Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme isn’t for everyone. If you:
- Have super sensitive skin
- Are allergic to any of the ingredients
- Can’t handle the intense tingling sensation
- Already have naturally full lips
…then you might want to skip this one. No shame in the natural lip game!
My Final Verdict on Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme
after a couple of weeks of testing, this is my personal opinion: Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme can take a place in your make up kit in 2025 if you want a temporary plumper for your lips that may have long term effects.
The direct results are outstanding, although the sensation is not an easy one for most of the people to endure. The hydration is a nice bonus and the soft glossy finish is beautiful alone or on top of lippy.
Is it revolutionary in 2025? No. However, is it still superior to a number of younger alternatives? Absolutely. Occasionally, the classics are not left behind for nothing!
How I Incorporate It Into My 2025 Routine
I’ve found that Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme works best for me when I apply it about 10 minutes before I apply any other lip color. This allows plumping effect to set in then I can do the lip liner and lipstick.
Pro tip: For the 2025 mask-optional world, this product is ideal for those video calls in which you are looking to add a little something, but without crushing glamour. The delicate plumping quality comes out beautifully on camera!
The Bottom Line
If you’re curious about lip plumpers or specifically Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme, I say give it a try! It is a little expensive and the tingle is extreme, but the results are there. In this ever-changing beauty world, this product has managed to pass the test of time for a good reason.
Keep in mind that no topical option would ever produce results you can achieve with fillers, but Too Faced Lip Injection Extreme can get you pretty close to the effect of getting fillers. Excellent marks for not having to suffer needles or ordeals of possible duck-lips!
