Bite Me: Limited Edition Twilight Lip Venom V Offer From US Weekly

What tween girl wouldn't give up her mortality to lock lips with sparkly vamp Robert Pattinson?

Well, this might be next best thing!

DuWop will launch a makeup collection inspired by the movie Twilight at the end of this year. It will include a movie version of Lip Venom, a lip plumper that looks like blood, which has already been used on set on the tussled hair vamp-throb.

Instead of a gloss, Lip Venom V is a shimmering crimson lip stain suspended in a venom-laced liquid lip conditioner with a super potent bite (watch out!), and contains argan, avocado, olive oils and vitamin E.

According to DuWop:
The product should be shaken before use to represent the blending of the human and vampire worlds and applied repeatedly until lips are plumped, revitalized and the desired intensity of color has been reached.

Sounds . . . intense.



And thanks to tabloid darlings US Weekly, you can get a fang-tastic (ha!) sneak peek before it hits shelves. Use code: Venom54U at checkout to receive an exclusive 20% discount off your Twilight Venom order ($16). Limit 2 per order.

No word yet on other products included in the Twilight line, but there will probably be a super-pale foundation for a total vampire white-out, lilac powder for under the eyes and blood-red mascara in the range.

But if the rumors of a hygiene-challenged RPatz are true, we'll pass on the eau de Edward Cullen.

Fuller, Angelina Jolie-like Lips -- Without Injections!

Thanks to bee-stung lipped Angelina Jolie, lip plumpers are big business (ba-bum ching).

When DuWop's Lip Venom first hit beauty counters back in the day, I was one of the millions of eager guinea pigs. But the full-on assault of spicy, tingly essential oils and cinnamon and ginger made me look more like an assault victim than femme fatale. Yikes!

Try this much more flattering -- and way less painful -- lip-plumping makeup trick: Add a schmear of shimmer lipgloss over lipstick or bare lips right in the middle of your lower lip and in your cupid’s bow. The extra bit of shine and light-reflecting particles create the illusion of an instantly fuller pucker, without making you look like you're in need of medical attention.

Remember that blurry camera trick Cybill Shepard used on "Moonlighting?" Well, my favorite shimmery gloss, Guerlain Kiss Kiss in Beige Secret, is a soft goldie beige that is like a magic eraser that softens the lip line by mimicking your natural lip color, thus making your pillow-y pout appear fuller.

Give it a try and see if you don’t see the effect right away. The difference is subtle, but it’s enough to give you a little confidence boost.
