DuWop Spring 2010 Collection

The new Spring 201o collection from DuWop is on the smaller side, it consists of only three products in total. DuWop describes the colleciton in one word "Eyecatching". It consists of a new line of eye shadows and other lips items that build off of their best-selling Lip Venom. I am a bit disappoined that this collection is small and that there are no new face products being offered this season. But let's look at the three newest products and see how they stack up.

EyeCatcher Shadows - Using basic color theory, EyeCatcher Shadows contain a matte shade that directly contrasts the color of the iris. On the other side is a shimmering mosaic of shadows that match the iris, creating the ultimate eye-enhancing duo. The matte shadows should be applied over the entire lid into the crease, the shimmery shade is then layered on top, at the lashline. This combination of contrasting and matching the eye color brings out the blue in blue eyes, the green in green eyes, and the golden tones in brown eyes.

- Blue Eye Intensifier - matte amber/marbled blue shimmer

- Green Eye Intensifier - matte burgundy/marbled green shimmer

- Brown Eye Intensifier - matte violet/marbled gold shimmer

Plumping Paste - Plumpers have come a long way since the dawn of the original Lip Venom ten years ago. DuWop constantly strives for innovation in this category and has created a treatment masque for the lips that conditions, exfoliates, and plumps simultaneously. Plumping Paste has a rich consistency, dense with conditioners like castor seed oil and hydrogenated jojoba. It also contains a new, highly effective ingredient to gently exfoliate and condition. An alternative to sugar scrubs, Plumping Paste uses jojoba beads that are massaged into the lips and wiped away with a damp cloth after 10 minutes. Combined with the classic Venom formula, Plumping Paste leaves the lips supple, full, and hydrated - the perfect canvas for lipstick or gloss.

Plumparazzi Kit - Plumparazzi Kit is a Sephora exclusive that features Plumping Paste, Lip Venom, Prime Venom, and a deluxe sample of Venom Gloss packaged in a special oversized version of Lip Venom's signature pink container. Plumparazzi Kit contains several of DuWop's superstar plumping products so there is a lip plumper for every occasion all in one package. The Plumparazzi Kit contains these signature DuWop products:

- Plumping Paste - a lip masque that conditions, exfoliates, and plumps the lips simultaneously.

- Lip Venom - the very first lip plumper on the market creating the lip plumper category, this lip gloss blends essential oils including cinnamon, wintergreen, and ginger, that cause the blood to rush to the surface of the lips, flushing and swelling them slightly.

- Prime Venom - a satin matte lip balm that plumps, primes, and conditions the lips leaving them supple and conditioned allowing lipstick to go on smoother and last longer.

- Venom Gloss - a high gloss that imparts shine with stunning color while giving the lips extra volume an extra volume boost utilizing the same blend of essential oils used in the popular Lip Venom.

From this little collection, I want the Blue EyeCatcher and the Plumping Paste. I have always used the Lip Venom Lite and I would like to try out the Plumping Paste. The Plumping Paste would allow me to use it under any lip product instead of only by itself (which is how I have found that the Lip Venom works the best). The EyeCatcher is a very interesting concept since I have always been against blue shades on blue eyes. I am going to give this a shot and see how their concept works for me.
