Whether you're new to refillable lip products or a seasoned pro, these steps will ensure a clean, mess-free refill. Plus, we'll share tips on how to store your refills for maximum freshness. Let's get started!
What You'll Need
Before you begin, gather the following items: your empty Trinny London Plump Up Lip tube, a new Plump Up Lip refill (available in your favorite shade), and a clean, dry cloth. Optional: a small pair of tweezers or a flat tool for extra leverage.
The refill comes in a compact cartridge that clicks into the outer case. Make sure your hands are clean to avoid transferring any dirt or bacteria to the product.
- Empty Trinny London Plump Up Lip tube
- New Plump Up Lip refill cartridge
- Clean cloth (optional)
- Tweezers or flat tool (optional)
Step 1: Remove the Empty Cartridge
Hold the empty Plump Up Lip tube firmly in one hand. With your other hand, grip the base of the cartridge (the part that holds the lip product) and twist it gently counterclockwise. You should feel it loosen. If it's stuck, use a cloth for extra grip or carefully insert a flat tool into the gap to pry it open.
Once loosened, pull the cartridge straight out. Be careful not to damage the outer case—it's reusable and designed to last through many refills.
Step 2: Prepare the New Refill
Take your new Plump Up Lip refill cartridge. Check that the seal is intact—if there's a protective cap or sticker, remove it. The refill is designed to fit perfectly into the existing case, so you don't need any additional tools.
Align the refill cartridge with the opening of the outer case. Make sure the notches or grooves match up—this ensures a secure fit. Push the cartridge in gently until it clicks into place. You should hear a satisfying snap.
- Ensure the refill is the correct shade before inserting.
- Do not force the cartridge; it should slide in smoothly.
Step 3: Secure and Test
Once the refill is inserted, twist it clockwise to lock it in place. The cartridge should sit flush with the outer case—no gaps or wobbles. Give it a gentle tug to confirm it's secure.
Twist the base to dispense a small amount of product. If the lip color comes out smoothly, you've successfully refilled your Plump Up Lip! If not, remove the cartridge and reinsert it, ensuring proper alignment.
Tips for Maintaining Your Refillable Lip Product
To keep your Plump Up Lip fresh and hygienic, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid sharing your lip product with others to prevent cross-contamination. Clean the outer case occasionally with a damp cloth—never submerge it in water.
If you have multiple shades, consider labeling the cases or storing refills in a dedicated makeup bag. Trinny London's refillable system makes it easy to switch colors without buying a new tube each time. For example, you can alternate between a bold shade like Wonder Wheel (Luxuriously Lucent Lip Colour) for evenings and a nude like Painterly (Luxuriously Lucent Lip Colour) for daytime.
- Store refills in their original packaging until use.
- Check expiration dates on refills—typically 12 months after opening.
Refilling your Trinny London Plump Up Lip is quick, easy, and eco-friendly. By reusing the outer case, you reduce plastic waste and save money on full-price replacements. Ready to try a new shade? Explore the full range of Plump Up Lip refills and find your perfect color today.
