"Oh, Reesina. If only you caught that burning sensation earlier and realized that lip plumper wasn't just a normal kind of lip gloss. But hey, it's alright. We all make mistakes, and at least you'll have a nice new look for your lips... if you wanted that, that is."

Now, initially, I was pretty stumped when I first came upon this prompt. I know there are many ways to interpret the word "plump," but I just couldn't find anything that I really liked. However, one trip down memory lane later, and I've finally figured out what to do with this prompt.

It was a memory from Christmas Eve of 2022, where my aunt accidentally gave me lip plumper, mistaking it for lip gloss. She realized the mix-up not long after I put it on and felt a burning sensation of my lips. Luckily, I got it off before things got worse, and we ended up having a good laugh about it. The moment I remembered it, I knew it was the perfect source of inspiration for today's prompt.

Since she seems like the most likely to end up in a situation like this, I choose my OC, Reesina, to be the one accidentally using the not-so-painless lip plumper. Although, unlike most, I don't think she's too freaked out about this. And hey, it does look pretty nice on her, after all... though the burning sensation? Definitely doesn't feel as great as it looks.

Enjoy! 😊💜
