DuWop Foundation of Youth lightweight anti-ageing foundation
I have to hand it to DuWop: they have some fabulous product names, don’t they? This foundation of theirs, for instance, is called Foundation of Youth, and that makes me want to run out and buy it RIGHT NOW. Must not allow my head to be turned by marketing, must not allow my head to be turned by marketing…
The product itself sounds pretty good too, it has to be said. As the name suggests, this aims to disguise some of the signs of ageing, mostly by using anti-oxidants to plump out fine lines. You’ll also notice that the tube comes with its own brush applicator, just like Yves Saint Laurent’s Radiant Touch. I loved the brush applicator on the YSL foundation at first, but after a couple of weeks of use, found myself going back to applying it with my fingers: it was just too tricky to get the right amount of product onto the brush, and I’d always end up with too much or too little, which makes me suspect a regular foundation brush is probably better for me than one that’s attached to the bottle. (Easier to clean, too.)
If you want to find out for yourself, though, this is $38 direct from DuWop.
DuWop Lipmousse – not quite a lipstick, not quite a gloss
I really shouldn’t blog when I’m hungry. Words like “mousse”, “light and fluffy” and “whipped”: they make me think of dessert, not makeup.
All of those words have been applied to DuWop’s new Lipmousse, though, and it is decidedly not something you can eat, although you CAN put it on your lips. Other than the foodie descriptive words, though, DuWop haven’t quite made up their minds exactly what they’re selling here: they say it’s not a lipstick, but not quite a gloss (Oh God, does anyone else now have Britney Spear’s ‘Not a Girl, But Not Yet a Woman’ running through their heads? You’re welcome!) – instead, it’s a kind of hybrid of the two, with a “showerhead” style applicator which they say will help to create a “blurring effect” which disguises any lines or imperfections in the lips. A bit like a Monet painting I guess.
(Tai: Do you think she’s pretty? Cher: No, she’s a full-on Monet…)
DuWop Lipmousse is available in six different colours, and is $22 at www.sephora.com.
‘Twilight’ Lip Venom from DuWop
So, I have no idea what the connection between ‘Twilight’ and plump lips is. I mean, I can see how this product looks suitably vampiric (did I just make up a word?), but other than that, I think we just have to assume that DuWop saw a bandwagon and wanted to make sure they were on it.
Their Twilight Venom combines their classic Lip Venom lip plumper with a red lip stain: the idea is that you shake it up before using it, in order to “represent the blending of the human and vampire worlds”. Um, OK, DuWop, I was really just looking to plump up my lips, but you know, whatever.
I didn’t get on with Lip Venom when I tried it a couple of years ago, but one thing I’ve learned about lip plumping products is that they work differently on every set of lips, so what works (or doesn’t work) for me may have a completely different effect on you. With that said, those who wish to blend the human and vampire worlds, and have nice red lips while they’re doing it, can buy Twilight Venom for $16 at Nordstrom.
