WITH the average syringe of lip filler costing over £220, it’s no wonder Brits are turning to cheaper alternatives.
And safely plumping your pout without going under the needle is even cheaper now thanks to make-up brand Too Faced.
The Californian beauty giant’s flagship product is its Lip Injection Plumping Lipgloss.
The innovative (but also gentle formula) has advanced volumising technology that enlarges lips with a combination of reaction-sparking ingredients.
It also includes avocado oil and Vitamin E to smooth and soften pouts.
And while a tube typically costs £24 a pop, you can now pick two new shades up for £13 per tube as part of a new Christmas buy.

Too Faced has released the Lip Injection Maximum Plump Lip Gloss Duo - which contains two glosses in limited edition shades - for a cool £26.
To buy them separately would set you back £52.
“Plump the look of lips intensely, immediately, while adding a kiss of colour,” Too Faced bosses said.
“This essential plumping set includes full sizes of Lip Injection Maximum Plump in two exclusive shades that are here for a good time, but not for a long time.

“The advanced volumising formula dramatically hydrates and nourishes lips so they’re party-ready all season.”
The shades are Amethyst Crystal, a purple with pink shimmer, and Diamond Fire, a clear gloss with shifting shimmer.
The duo makes the perfect Christmas gift, too.
The packaging is already a lift box that you just need to add the “To” and “From” to the label.
Shopper reviews have described the product as “lip filler in a bottle”, with some vowing to “never get injected again”.
“It works like magic, like actual lip injections,” one beamed.
