DuWop Cosmetics, originator of the cult classic
Lip Venom lip gloss (you know, that tiny vial of clear gloss that smells like Red Hots, tingles like a chili pepper and makes you look like you're related to Angelina Jolie?), is now planning to branch out and bring their unique brand of stimulating makeup to other areas of your face - your cheeks, to be exact. Their newest creation is
Cheek Venom, which uses the same blend of essential oils (including cinnamon and ginger) as the
Lip Venom in order to encourage circulation and create a more natural-looking blush. Makes sense; as anyone who has tried Lip Venom will tell you, the stuff really
works. In fact, the only risk seems to be that the Venom might work
too well, to the point where your lips feel like they're on fire and you look like you've been hitting the collagen. Can the Cheek Venom produce equally dramatic results? Will the effect be pretty and subtle or unpleasantly crimson-cheeked? Call me a glutton for the tingle, but I can't wait to find out!
