There are a number of lip plumpers on the market to choose from most containing Cinnamon or some kind of mild irritant to make your lips swell. Its really easy to make your own lip plumping gloss or balm, as long as you have cinnamon or peppermint essential oils. Or you can use cayenne pepper or ground cinnamon.
Heres one recipe http://www.ehow.com/how_5781539_make-lip-plumper-cayenne-cinnamon.html
My own recipe is
Small pot to keep the balm
1/8 tsp beeswax or hemp or jojoba wax melted
1/4 tsp shea butter
1/8 tsp coconut,castor or almond oil
4 drops cinnamon essential oil
Melt the wax in a glass bowl sitting in a pot of boiling water, make sure the water doesnt dry out. When the wax has melted remove the bowl with gloves. Add the shea butter, oil of choice and cinnamon oil and stir with a small kebab skewer or teaspoon. Pour the mixture into the container once it has cooled a little, dont leave it too long in the bowl or it will set in there. Once in the container you can put it in the fridge to speed up the setting process
