DuWop Venom Gloss

The last lip plumper on my list to review was DuWop’s Venom Gloss. With the luck I had been having with the last 4 plumpers, I was surely hoping this plumper would be different. Besides the fact that you, my lovely readers, voted the most for DuWop as the best plumper in my poll.
The color […]

theBalm Plump your pucker

I’m becoming paranoid now. Are all lip plumpers made equal? Do they all contain this elusive “Maxi-Lip” technology? If this is the case–they need to go back to the drawing board and re-formulate.
theBalm Plump your pucker was next on my list of lip plumpers to try out. Bing my Cherry is a yummy scented Cherry […]

Lumene Beauti-full Plumping Lipshine

Lumene Beauti-full Plumping Lipshine was the first lip plumper I tested. I chose it to be the first because it looked more like lipstick than gloss. Plus the color, Smiling, was really pretty.

3D plumping effect: Maxi-lips ingredient helps to stimulate collagen, which makes your lips look fuller. Unique blend of light reflecting, wet […]

I received this little blessing a little over a week ago and have had a hard time not applying it everyday (my other lip products sometimes beg to be used).

Besame Cosmetics Enriched Lip Glaze

My previous encounter with Besame Cosmetics Enriched Lip Glaze was a positive one; this time is no different. I was in love with their Chocolate Lip Glaze when it was just a small sample and recently I was sent Cotton Candy and Shimmer Peach.

Twisted Fayte Mega Minerals

I’ve never tried pressed minerals for eyeshadow before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect when I was sent 3 colors in Twisted Fayte’s Mega Minerals collection. Heather told me that since their launch, the Mega Minerals have been her best seller.
The first time I tried them, I used an eyeshadow brush. While it didn’t […]

Twisted Fayte Holiday Glam Queen Lip Vinyls

I will admit to the world that I have a girl crush on Heather Hanson, owner of Twisted Fayte cosmetics. Not a girl crush in the way all of you mind-in-the-gutter readers are thinking, but a girl crush because she always blows me away with her customer service skills.
Heather recently sent me a very impressive […]
