Lip Venom V...i haz it. <3

Category: , , , By Felicity
After a good 2.5 weeks of obsessive-compulsively checking my email for a tracking number, and cursing Fedex for not delivering on weekends, my long-coveted fantasy-in-a-bottle arrived.


The venom comes encased in a metal-lidded canister, with red sparkle designs on the black cap and red lightning streaking down the main body. If you shake the canister, the venom rattles with all the free space. After you pry off the cap, nestled inside is a small vial, about the size of a AAA battery, with clear pink liquid infused with a dark, glittery, sinister red.




Now, I haven't been able to figure out exactly WHICH part represents human, and which represents vampire, if the two parts are supposed to be shaken and mixed to mingle our worlds. My gut reaction is that the dark red would be vampire, just because dark red is more sinister. But then again, humans have blood, and vampires don't... which means... I'm clearly spending too much time contemplating this.



I'm not familiar with DuWop products, but I recall seeing them in Sephora. They're known for their lip plumping products [which I haven't really had an interest in, since I have gianormous lips+overbite, and I don't think I should be accentuating them anymore] Anywho, Duwop did a pretty fantastic job of convincing me to buy this. I'm not even exactly sure how. I'm not really a Twi-hard. I though the book was mediocre. The movie meshed well with the book, and Robert Pattinson made a decent teen-idol. But somehow Duwop sold me this vial for 19.50, including a coupon code and shipping charges. And for someone who really doesn't need fuller lips, who isn't madly in love with Jacob or Edward, DuWop did something. I think it was the description. Damn I am a sucker for dramatic product descriptions!

Upon application, my lips instantly burst into flame. It's like someone rubbed cinnamon and peppermint oil and pepper spray on my lips, then set it on fire. GEEZ. Tasted like cinnamon and peppermint, except after tasting it, my tongue has lost its sense of feeling. I'm exaggerating, but it definitely has a kick to it. When you dab at your lips with the brush, it'll tickle pretty bad because of all that craziness you just applied. I find it difficult to apply evenly, and either I have too much pink or too much clear stuff. The color, though, is nice.

[The picture is from my camera phone, since my camera ran out of batteries right when I was trying to take it...] As you can see, the color is very natural, a pinkish, rosy color. And my lips are as huge as ever, even more bee stung than usual. after the clear stuff gets absorbed into your lips, you can apply more to deepen the color, and further burn off your lips. If you don't shake it, you'll get a deeper color upon first application. There's soft iridescent glitter in the dark red, which is really pretty but I haven't really been able to get alot of it on my lips. As for the tear-jerking burning, I found that it goes away after awhile, either beacuse I've just ingested it all or because I got used to it.

Definitely something I would keep in my purse when I feel like I need an upper; I think this coupled with a lip gloss would be a sexy recipe for lip MUAH-ness. This whole Edward+Bella thing doesn't have anything to do with lip gloss, but its fun to have to remind myself that regardless how old I am, I'm still a giggly HS girl at heart.
