Duwop Lip Venom

When it comes to plumping up your lips, it's a trend that's caught on very quickly, with everyone and their mate now making products that claim to plump up your lips, from Soap & Glory's fabulously named Sexy Mother Pucker, to Benefit's dire offering, Lip Plump. But the first one to appear on the market was DuWop's Lip Venom, which I first came across in Pout in Covent Garden (which sadly is no more!) Lip Venom comes in two layers of packaging - a cardboard cylinder which twists apart into two pieces to reveal a tiny vial, very much like what I imagine Juliet's vial of poison would have looked like! It's glass and contains just 3.5ml of the gloss and has ...  Read the complete review

I am still waiting to find that one lip gloss products which give me the bee sting Angelina Jolie looking lips. I have tried four or five different products and from memory the best one was Sally Hansen's Lip Inflation which did give the appearance of fuller looking lips but the effects didn't last very long at all. Then a friend of mine, who also wants to find the same look, gave me a tube of DuWop Lip Venom and asked me to try it to see what I thought. My reaction to a product being called Lip Venom was initially off putting, all of the connotations linking that one word lead to toxins, poisons and stinging. So to put something of that nature on your lips ...  Read the complete review

How to achieve the perfect 'Trout Pout' without surgery! I have tried a few lip pumpers in the past; 'Urban Decay's Big Fatty' £9.75, 'Too Faced Lip Injection' £16.75, 'Lancome's Juicy Tubes Plump' £10.99 and finally an American one which I got from a friend 'SkinMedica's TNS Lip Plumping System' $53. Duwop's Lip Plumper was the first Lip Plumper I have ever tried and it retails at £14.50. To explain a little about how many lip plumpers work, they contain natural irritants that slightly sting and agrovate the lips. The stinging/ irritation effect prompts the lips to fill with blood and become puffy or a little swollen. The ...  Read the complete review

Can your lips really become like that of Angelina Jolie with this? That seems to be the major question here. Given the price and the rather small volume (I bought the 1.5ml x 3 one. Normally I think it's 4.5ml on its own), I'd say it would only be worth it if you liked the effect of this product. So does it plump up your lip? Yes. Does it get rid of the lines on your lips? Yes. Plus there the benefit of enjoying the cool minty sensation on your lips (perhaps a little bit of stress relief?). The simple pink, gray case is very cute and I liked the fact that I could store it standing up rather than lying down like other lip products. This has a brush appilcator so ...  Read the complete review

Lip Venom- it is what it says it is! I bought this lip plumper from New York, I was looking for a lip gloss that would fit in my wallet, when I came across this little gem! I'm not really convinced that it makes a huge difference to the actual size of my lips but it certainly gives a lovely shine and a fuller looking impression. The lip gloss itself tingles when applied (a bearable tingle it doesn't hurt) and i find that applying on the edge of the lips helps to make lips appear plumper. I love the smell of this gloss. It is made with essential oils of cinnamon, ginger and wintergreen to stimulate circulation, plus jojoba and avocado oils to help ...  Read the complete review
