SerraSun, thank you for providing that website link! I actually found the information to be quite helpful. 
It sucks that wax and petroleum lip products seem to be disabling our lips from naturally hydrating themselves. I was aware that using certain lip balms can pose negative effects because we tend to re-apply lip balm more frequently than necessary in order to obtain that feeling of moisture in our lips. Sometimes, we just have to leave the lips alone for awhile unless they become particularly dry and chapped! ^^;
Here's my Daily Mini-Routine for Lips:
Morning - Exfoliate using a toothbrush -> Gently dry lips with washcloth -> Apply Sally Hansen's "Full & Radiant Lip Balm" or The Body Shop's "Vitamin E Lip Care Stick with SPF 15"
Daytime - Occasionally scrub using LUSH's "Mint Julips Lip Scrub" -> Re-Apply one of the lip balms mentioned above
Nighttime - Exfoliate using Homemade Honey & Sugar Lip Scrub -> Gently dry lips with washcloth -> Apply Sally Hansen's "Lip Inflation Xtreme"
There doesn't seem to be any permanent growth from the Sally Hansen lip plumper, but I do like the way it feels and it carries out into the morning when I use it at night. My favorite product would be the Sally Hansen "Full Radiant Lip Balm" because it really is moisturizing and I don't have to re-apply it 20x a day, lol. Plus, the ingredients looked good, so... ^^;
