I love to refer products that help to create softer, plumper, fuller lips. Not all of us can afford injectionable fillers, and are looking at a variety of alternatives to get the fuller, younger-looking lips that we crave!

I came across DuWop Twilight Venom on Sephora.com, and could not click on it fast enough to get it into my shopping cart! I love that it claims to offer the fuller, softer lips that I want, as well as having major fun factor for Halloween…and for the Twilight fan in me!  Even beyond Halloween, this is a great product for fall, when I want to find deeper, more vibrant colors for my lips AND products that will hydrate and condition my lips.

DuWop Twilight Venom

Here is the description from Sephora:

What it is:
A shimmering, crimson lip stain suspended in a venom-laced liquid lip conditioner.

What it does:
Twilight Venom should be shaken before use (to represent the blending of the human and vampire worlds) and can be applied repeatedly until desired intensity of color has been reached and lips are plumped and revitalized. Its formula contains argan, avocado, and olive oils as well as vitamin E.

What else you need to know:
With a customizable ruby stain that captures the blood red lips sported by fashionable vampires, Twilight Venom can let you play the part!

I absolutely love the idea of having fun while seeking beauty solutions for lips!  And, for those who do not want a deep red, you can apply less stain to create a more subtle color for your lips.   I cannot wait for my Twilight Venom to arrive, and will be sure to share my results with you.  If you already have this product, please feel free to leave a comment and give us your impressions and if the product met your expectation!

Side note on ingredients:  Argan is considered one of the most therapeutic natural healing substances around the world.  Argan oil has been harvested for centuries from the fruit of the Moroccan argan tree, and Argan is incredibly rich in antioxidants and essential fatty acids with a perfect omega 3-6-9 balance that the body requires. It is commonly used for skin care, not only to hydrate the skin but to act as a superior anti aging serum, preventing wrinkles and providing the skin with a stronger barrier against the elements.  With Argan in this lip stain, you are sure to find incredible hydrating and conditioning for lips, unlike other lip stains that can end up feeling dry after application.

I love to share a fantastic product for lips that can help to make your lips look healthier, sexier, plumper and fuller. I have found, however, that many of the plumping products are pretty harsh, and make me so miserable that I have to wipe them off…not really getting that “natural” plumping effect that I was seeking! Of course I understand that the ingredients to make your lips “plump” are actually irritating your lip tissue, causing that much-desired fullness and redness. I guess I am too much of a lip wimp to take on that stinging, burning pain for the temporary fullness!

However, I have found a product that I love, love, love! Well, actually a lip kit with THREE amazing products that do truly create a healthier, plumper and fuller lip…without injections or other invasive procedures! The NVEY ECO Organic Lip Care Trio Kit, offered at Beauty.com for 92.00 (a $124 value!). This kit is seriously the perfect way to experience truly organic lip care at a value price. NVEY ECO, Organic Lip Care Trio includes a Lip Exfoliator, Lip Treatment and Lip Plumper in a wonderfuly organic cotton makeup case. All products full size, they are not samples or mini sizes.

You will still get a tingly sensative with the lip plumper, however, the plumping is accomplished with natural ingredients, not harsh chemicals.  NVEY ECO Certified Organic Lip Plumper  plumps, hydrates, and moisturises, temporarily enhancing the natural colour and shape of the lips using a tingly blend of invigorating ingredients including Capsicum, Cinnamon Bark Extract and Menthol.

NVEY ECO Make-up and Beauty Products are OFC Certified Organic, so unlike natural labelled products, they have had to meet a strict organic certifying standard in all ingredients and processes they use, which prohibits them from using some ingredients used in natural products such as talc.  You can feel good about using NVEY ECO products knowing that organic and natural elements are improving your skin, your lips, and even the earth!

I also adore the NVEY ECO Organic Lipsticks and Organic Lip Lustre.   ECO Lipstick delivers vibrant and natural colour compositions. An organic Castor Oil base combined with soothing safflower, beeswax and Vitamin E provides antioxidant and nourishing properties for soft, smooth lips. 

NVEY ECO Lip Lustre is a nourishing, lustrous, and rich lip lacquer enhanced by organic elements to create smooth and subtle lips. The luxurious colour glides on leaving a refreshing feel, and is enhanced by the organic beeswax providing the skin with energy, protection and harmony.

NVEY ECO Lip Lustre

Both lines offer a nice range of colors and textures.  There are lovely matte lipsticks, and shiny lovely lip lustres.  Love these products on my lips as they stay soft, supple, and sexy!

If you are looking for ways to have fuller, plumper lips, or smooth those fine lips around your lips and mouth, lip augmentation may be your solution. Your lips can be injected with collagen by a medical professional, creating much fuller and sexier lips. However, you need to work with a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who has experience in collagen injections, or you risk the “trout pout” that we see all too often! Over-injected lips are not at all attractive, and it takes an experienced medical professional to balance the patient’s desire for fuller lips with a realistic outcome.

Some patients work with their doctors to have their fat transferred from another site in the patient’s body. This can be a natural way to plump your lips with your own tissue, potentially eliminating worries about allergic reactions or other risks that injectable filler can present. However, if you opt for collagen injections or a fat transfer, both methods are absorbed by your body over time and you will need additional treatments as needed to maintain your desired results.

Want some longer lasting options? Here are just a few other lip augmentation options that you can discuss with your dermatologist or plastic surgeon:

AlloDerm: AlloDerm is a natural collagen “sheet” that is created from donated human skin that is donated to tissue banks. Alloderm, which is also used in breast reconstruction following breast cancer, is implanted through tiny incisions into the lips through the corners of the mouth. When the AlloDerm implant is in its place in the lips, it becomes part of the natural lip tissues, helping to create a fuller, plumper and younger looking lip.

Dermalogen: Dermalogen is a type of injectable HTM, or Human Tissue Matrix, created from human donor tissue. Dermalogen is an excellent alternative for patients who have allergic reactions to collagen.

Fascian Injections: Fascian is composed of fascia, or the connective tissue in the human body that is composed mostly of collagen, that has been removed from human cadaver donor. The fascia is then processed into superfine particles which can be injected into the lips to fill and plump them with natural results.

HylaForm: Hylaform is a “viscoelastic gel” made of hyaluronic acid that will plump and fill lips without the need of a skin test. Hyaluronic Acid is a completely natural substance that exists in the human body and is biodegradable and biocompatible with human hyaluronic acid.

Restylane: Restylane is a cosmetic dermal filler thgat is made of “NASHA”, or Non-Animal Stabilized Hyaluronic Acid. Much like Hylaform, the Hyaluronic acid that makes up Restylane, will provide volume and fullness to the lips and mouth area.

Aside from injectable fillers and implant options, patients can also opt for laser lip rejuvenation. The laser helps to tighten the natural collagen beneath the lips to eliminate fine lines and make wrinkles less noticable. According to some medical professionals, the laser treatments may also stimulate collagen production over time, helping to create a longer term, and more natural looking, lip and mouth area.

These are just a few options, many more exist and the best option is the one that you and your doctor determine is best for you, your desired results, your potential allergies and sensitivities and, of course, your wallet! Prices can vary, but the investment you make in your personal appearance is one that can provide you with huge dividends in self-confidence, a feeling of youthfulness and how you face the world with a gorgeous smile with full, sexy lips!
