Benefit Cosmetics High Beam


A classy way to do glitter - without the glitter!5

I use Benefit High Beam with my Benetint but only at night. It gives my cheeks a nice creamy gleam and works well with the blush color of Benetint.



I could not and would not use this at my job or during the day. It is the classy way to do glitter without having any glitter. I HATE glitter and I do not feel like it should be on any one's face unless you are 8 and in a tap recital. If I am going out to a dark or dimly lit place like a restaurant bar or night club I would put this on. It highlights my face very nicely and the color compliments my complexion and is very flattering. This is a pretty universal color of pink and everyone that has borrowed or tried this has been surprised that it worked so well with their skin tone as well.



This is not a product that I would just pick-up and buy. When I was at Sephora one of the employees showed me how it worked and I was hooked. It really did transform my face and made a difference. I put it on my cheeks under my brow-bone on my chin and sometimes on my nose - depending on the occasion.



It's a winner but you have to have a "need" for it to buy it definitely not for everyday use. I have had mine for two-years now and only a little bit is missing.More detail ...

DuWop Original Lip Venom Tingly Lip Gloss Clear 3.5 ml


Irritation is How This and Most Other Lip Plumpers Work3

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.More detail ...
