To Tingle or Not to Tingle - that us the question

I bought this Monday 10 june... it has a strange minty rubber taste, not unpleasant, a tiny tingle but thats about it. I've not seen any plumping affect although package says 'in 2 mins', I puchased the clear version. It's a very long lasting gloss without my hair sticking to my face. I'll persevere as I'm ever the optimist. Anyone else tried this with better results?
