3.0 out of 5 stars Irritation is How This, and Most Other Lip Plumpers, Work, December 28, 2004

The way this product works is the cinnamon oils and ginger contained in the ingredients are common irritants to the skin. This irritation is amplified when placed on one of the thinnest skinned, and most sensitive areas of your body -- your lips. The stinging sensation, which is considerable in this product, is your lip letting you know there is an irritant on your lips. Your body's natural response to this irritant is to send extra blood to the area of irritation to try to protect it from harm. The extra blood flow in the lip area, due to the irritation, is what makes your lips appear 'fuller.' Most lip plumpers on the market today work to 'plump' your lips through this process of irritation.

Because DuWop Venom Flash has a relatively large amount of the cinnamon oil as an ingredient, it will make your lips look fuller in addition to causing above average irritation for this product category. Because of the irritation and subsequent blood flow increase, your lips will also look darker. There is a reason why everyone is talking about this stuff . . . it works the best because it irritates the most. Try it if you want something that will really work, just be forewarned.

DuWop Venom Flash is not for the lighthearted. DO NOT put this product on a dry or sensitive lip or the sensation will move from irritation to pure pain. God forbid you get this stuff in a cold sore, split lip, or any other open mouth wound or you will want to slice your lips off. You may not realize you have tiny, dry cracks in your lips until this stuff gets in there. Ouch! I find this especially irritating in the corners of the mouth.

If your new lip look generates some amorous advances and you find yourself kissed, you will transfer all this wonderful stuff, and all the irritating side effects, to your kissing partner. Whoops! Your gig is up! The illusion of sexy sensuality will all be shot as your kisser declares, "What's that!? My lips are burning! I think I'm allergic to you!" Angelina Jolie you are not.

It Works but it Hurts. It's up to you to decide if it's worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars This stuff is addicting!, June 15, 2004

I bought this after hearing how good it works on stimulating blood flow and adding color and plump to your lips. I bought it and the first time I put it on it stung. I was a little surprised at just how tingly this gloss really was. I noticed quite an enhancement in natural color on my lips and as it sat for a few minutes my lips became a bit more pouty (I have fairly pouty lips in the first place).

The venom is high shine, it is not sticky at all, which is a huge plus for me. It really does work, if you are looking for Angelina Jolie lips, I doubt this will work for you, but if you want a little more shape and a nifty tingly sensation.. this IS the product for you.

One other bonus, you can mix it with your favorite gloss to create a tingly gloss in your favorite color.. or you can wear it on its own. It is absolutely fantastic!

I have let most of my friends try it and they are believers in this too.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bee stung lips? Buzz off with those claims!!!!, August 21, 2005

I heard that this was the best lip plumping product on the market today so I shelled out the 15.00 to road test it. Here's the low down:

Tingle factor - I was very surprised at how little this product irritated my lips. I was afraid to try it at first but in reality it's not really as stinging as other have claimed. I'd liken it to cinnamon flavored gum or red hots. Sweet but bearable - and I am extremely sensitive!

Cost factor - Are you kidding me? 15.00 is soooo not worth it. The tube is exceptionally small.

Plump factor - I did not turn into Angelina Jolie or even a bad version of Melanie Griffith or Meg Ryan when they had botox. This product comes with lofty claims of lush full lips and that is simply not the case. Your lips will swell ever so slightly but (1) it won't last but 5-10 minutes and (2) you'd get the same effect from biting on your lips.

Shine factor: This was probably the best feature of this product. The shine is amazing and it is not at all sticky or gross tasting like many other similar products on the market today.

Bottom line: not worth 15.00 and based on the overall results I would not purchase again.
