Would you buy this product again? Yes

First, I purchased Shades of Venom at Nordstrom's Rack for only $8 USD apiece. Lucky me! Not sure if I would have shelled out $18 [at Sephora] for these because I don't really notice any "lip plumping" from this, but then I've only been using this for a couple of weeks. It's quite possible it takes longer to see any kind of plumping effects.

If you go to Duwop's website, http://shop.duwop.com/index.asp?Page...&ProdID=16main the price is only $14. I would spend $14 on this, definitely!

Setting aside the lip plumping effect and considering that this is just a very, very pretty lipstick, I'll certainly buy this again. The shades I got [Azalea, Angel Trumpet] are very lovely, shimmery shades of pink. Smooth to apply and relatively long-lasting considering that I smoke AND drink gallons of Ice Tea and water everyday, so I have low expectations in this arena. I'm used to reapplying frequently.

I appreciate the fact that it's made in the USA and they do NOT test on animals! The ingredients are fairly benevolent and I do like the slight tingle I get when I apply it. The packaging is very sensible and generous. Definitely a big thumbs up!
