I was expecting for this product to make my lips plump and full, but thats not what happened. My lips tingled for a few minutes and that was about it. Otherwise this product gives a nice shine.

This was the first lip plumping gloss that I decided to try. Since then I have tried others and prefer them more to this one. The vial of product is pretty small for the price that you pay. Did it plump? Not really. It made my lips red and itchy. It smells nice but tends to run and doesn't get sticky but because it runs and drips I find myself reapplying it constantly so a $20 vial can get used up pretty fast! I've repurchased it since my original purchase but only because it was on sale for less than half the original price.

A few years back, the trend for Angelina Jolie lips exploded into the mainstream market, with non-celebrity women desiring to have plump pillow lips without costly injections. Enter the DuWop Lip Venom, which promised a fuller pout with its plumping gloss. It was touted in various beauty magazines as a hit, so naturally I wanted to try it and see how it would go.

In terms of appearance, the gloss has a slight pink tint, and glitter, which isn't too noticeable when applied. The texture is thick, sticky, and I do not recommend putting lipstick over it. Its effectiveness is almost ineffective. Its plumping ingredients swell the lips, and give more colour with the rush of blood to the lips, but the tingling is only good for fifteen minutes before it subsides. My main complaint is that despite its sticky coating, it dries out the lips afterward, which ironically, makes them look thinner.

Basically, if you want a quick swelling for your lips, like if you are about to take a photograph, then this is worthwhile for its rapid effect. Otherwise, it would be best to avoid this product if you are searching for long-term results.

This lipgloss subtly works to plump lips but the stingy is too uncomfortable for me to continue using it.
