Hot lips!




How to achieve the perfect 'Trout Pout' without surgery!

I have tried a few lip pumpers in the past; 'Urban Decay's Big Fatty' £9.75, 'Too Faced Lip Injection' £16.75, 'Lancome's Juicy Tubes Plump' £10.99 and finally an American one which I got from a friend 'SkinMedica's TNS Lip Plumping System' $53.

Duwop's Lip Plumper was the first Lip Plumper I have ever tried and it retails at £14.50.

To explain a little about how many lip plumpers work, they contain natural irritants that slightly sting and agrovate the lips. The stinging/ irritation effect prompts the lips to fill with blood and become puffy or a little swollen.

The lip-plumers contain 'Capsacin' which is the chemical in Chili Peppers. The 'Capsacin' effect can also be experienced by eating a very hot curry!

Duwop's is quite small at 3.5ml. It has a sweet and spicy taste to it. The moment I put it on my lips they begin to tingle. Some may like this effect, others may not - but no pain no gain! Once used after 5mins the lips are noticabally plumper.

I do have a little gripe about this product, it is a little sticky like all lip-glosses, and I notice if you use this everyday your lips can become a little dry through all the irritation. Also try not to get any in your eye! It hurts!

This is far smaller than all the other brands I used, but it is MIGHTY! I feel they are all much of a muchness - although Urban Decay's Big Fatty lip plumper has gold sparkles in!

Another beauty tip with or without a lip plumper would be to:

1) Use a highlighting concealer - for example touche eclat around the lip area to bring out the lips.
2) Then use a nude lip-liner around the lips exagerating them a bit.
3) Fill in the whole lip using the nude lip liner.
4) Apply the Duwop plumper on top using a brush. (is not essential)
5)Wait 5mins, add a coloured gloss.
6) Dab sparkly lipgloss on the centre of you bottom lip to give the illusion of thickness.

Instant Hollywood Pout!!! If you try this let me know how you got on.
