DuWop Lip Venom V Review and Swatches

One wonders if DuWop was trying to capture the interest of Twilight or True Blood fans when they created Lip Venom V. Honestly, I get a more Lafayette Reynolds flamboyant self vibe from a bottle of V. Visions of Lafayette prancing himself around Bon Temps hooking bottles of DuWop V isn't hard to imagine. Honestly, the image fits better than Edward Cullen or Twilight.






But I guess blood red is blood red and can be associated with vampires in general. DuWop Lip Venom V holds a little bit of the vampire world and the human world when combined creates a shocking red shade that looks like you've just been bitten or taken a bite out of someone....

Jump for it!

This special limited edition Lip Venom is a shimmering crimson lip stain suspended in a venom-laced liquid lip conditioner. Don't expect a glossy finish from this as it's simply a blood red stain for lips. The formula is much like mixing oil and water as the lip conditioner and stain don't exactly jive together unless shaken hard before use. If you happen to be sensitive do stay clear away as it has a serious bite ouch! Unlike DuWop Lip Venom's regular formula this appears to have a seriously harsh, uncomfortable stinging sensation if you aren't prepared for it. I find that DuWop's regular glosses just have a bit of a warm sting but this is more of a stinging bite that makes lips sensitive to even touch with the applicator if you want to build color up!








After being shaken

I'm still in debate whether I actually like the product or not. I did think it would be a glossy, red stain however I was disappointed to find out it's simply a stain. No gloss here folks. I generally like stains for my lips however this is a tad too red so it's best to apply very lightly to avoid looking like Bozo the Clown. Goth lovers rejoice as if it's super pale skin and juicy, pigmented red lips is that you fancy, DuWop Lip Venom V will be sure to deliver.

Strangely enough on swatch you won't see much of a color payoff but upon contact with your lips you'll notice an intense, richly pigmented shade of red. Red can be a sophisticated, classy color but this could prove a little too much for some.






I found a light application was the safest and most flattering bet for me. It gives my lips a just bitten look that's quite pretty. Heavier application leaves me looking like I just took a sip from someone's neck.

Overall, I adore the idea and concept behind the product. Twilight is such great brain mush teen lit it's hard not to love it so I'm always on board the marketing train for anything they put out. Although it could be seen as a cop out for some and a way to feed the Twilight cash cow as for me I kinda feel it's a unique offering and a fun concept.

Heavy Use

Lighter Use

Honestly, I'm still thinking it's got that True Blood feeling to it, a little blood red for the fang bangers out there!
