As far as my body goes, I feel like I’m the average woman. There are a few parts I like, a lot more parts I hate (hips, I’m talking to you) and some parts that I’m mostly indifferent too. My lips fall in that category. They’re certainly never going to get me mistaken for Angelina Jolie (well, that and the fact that I’m not dragging Brad Pitt around with me everywhere I go), but on the other hand, they’re not those thin, old lady lips that would force me to make lip liner a part of my daily routine. So when I heard my friends raving about DuWop Lip Venom, I decided to try it, mainly to see if I could get myself a set of DSL’s. (If you don’t know what that stands for, ask a guy. Trust me, they’ll know).
Within minutes of applying this clear liquid, my lips were definitely bigger, but in a really natural way. Lip Venom didn’t give me the dreaded “trout pout” that plagues so many of the other women in Los Angeles. It’s a little goopy (goopy? Did I just invent that word?) because it’s so glossy and that might annoy those of you who don’t like your hair sticking to your lips, but I figure it’s a fair trade in this situation.
One thing that might turn some people off – you can definitely feel the ingredients tingling as they super-size your smile. I personally found the sensation only mildly annoying and well worth it, but my mom thought it was really uncomfortable and it burned my sister’s lips enough that she went and washed it off immediately. So you might want to test it out before you commit to spending the $16. You could also try the “Lite” version, which is clear as well, but milder for those with sensitive skin.
Lip Venom comes in the original version, which is clear, Lite (also clear), Venom Flash (either gold or silver shimmer), and Pink Shimmer. It’s a great buy and one that I find myself using even more than I thought I would, the true test of a great product.
