This is my favorite venom gloss. The color is quite special. It's like a brownish berry stain with shimmer. I wish the tingle was stronger but it's still good. The color goes with all of my makeup and I end up using this gloss more than my other ones. Will definitely buy this again.

I normally prefer lip glosses that have more pink to them, but after I told a Sephora sales associate that I was looking for a gloss with just a hint of tint, she recommended that I try this—and I love it! The color is very sheer and it gives just the perfect amount of shine and shimmer. I found that the tingling sensation is less than that of the regular DuWop Venom.

The tingle and burn weren't that bad, but the "plumping action" wasn't actually noticeable to the unaided eye either. However, it is a very pretty lipgloss.

I am rarely a reddish lip gloss fan, but this one is perfect for my tone. It is only slightly red, with shimmer and lots of shine. The taste, however, is less than desired and the texture gets quite sticky. But it does make my lips look full, sexy and pouty. The price is a bit high for daily use so I save it for special occasions. If it wasn't for the color I am not sure I would buy again as I tried other colors and was not happy, but I gave it a three because this particular shade is impossible for me to find.

I can't believe I never reviewed this. I bought this ages ago but I hardly ever wear it, not that I hate the tingling cus that doesnt bother me and I love how shiny my lips are when I use it. I think it's the fact that this gloss can run a bit. I have never bought the reverse lipliner (i am sure i should have). I was never really thrilled with the regular lip venom i wanted something shinier that lasted longer on my lips and Jessamine does. I love that it's not overly pigmented but you do get a sexy sheen to your lips with the sparkles. but after applying it can collect at your lip line then ooze out :(

I like venom gloss in general, but found the "color" of this to be nonexsistant on my lips. by the time the tingling sensation wears away I am left looking like I applied clear gloss. My lips are medium pigmented and I could barely tell I had this on. Will try another color in the future.

Love this gloss as well as other some of their other colors. If you like a little glitter in your gloss, this is the perfect color. These are my all-time fav glosses and I most likely will never use anything else.

I really enjoy this gloss. It looks dark in the tube, but goes on sheer. However, it's just pigmented enough so you don't feel like you might as well have put on a clear gloss. That said, it is pretty sheer on me, but it goes REALLY well if I line and fill my lips with MAC's Dervish lip pencil before I apply the gloss. It seems to intensify the rosy-bronze color just a bit, and makes it look really nice. As for the tingle, I find it's not as intense as regular Lip Venom. It's a really nice tingle, and I love the cinnamon scent of the gloss. This stuff is definitely worth the money. Of course, I'll keep on buying it. This color is neutral enough to wear every day, despite how it appears in the tube. I'm glad I picked Jessamine, since it's pigmented enough (kind of like one of the darker Juicy Tubes). The lighter ones would probably be far too sheer for me. This one, I'll buy again. I think I might also purchase Snowberry when fall/winter comes around. :)

This product wasn’t bad but wasn’t good either. This color is the one I am most happy with..it is a beautiful color that goes with everything. I don’t feel like it plumps your lips as well as it says it will. I also think the stinging is annoying. It is also VERY sticky and it gets in your hair and stays on your hands for awhile..you cant just wash it off. DuWop makes a lot of good products though..the reverse lip liner is INCREDIBLE!! I don’t know one person who wasn’t satisfied with it! Also the eye shadows work well too!

I bought this gloss based pretty much on the reviews here. I like it, but I wont be buying it again, its not really one of my favorites. im only 24 and i HAVE to wear liner with it, or it runs down my chin, and its very sticky. my hair gets stuck in it, and if i get any little bit on my fingers im sticking to things for awhile. it also oozes out of the tube into the cap a little. i like the original venom better, its not as thick and sticky, stays on just as long, and i can put whatever color i want on over it.

I love DuWop..Not only is the lip venom great but the glosses are just as wonderful..Jessamine is such as sexy neutral rosey brown with slight coppery sparkles..Perfect neutral shade to wear with everything.Not tacky or sticky.Can't wait to try more shades

After reading the reviews on MUA and other boards, I knew I just had to try it! Since this color seemed relatively safe, I dragged my ass to the closest Sephora and got me one. Umm...I was sorta disappointed for I didn't get those Angelina Jolie lips I wanted but it's all right! The gloss does have it's up sides! Like, the tingly feeling...whooo! I liked that a lot and the fact it was so shiny and lasted for a few hours. Just put some lipliner before you apply this and BAM! Sexxxy!

I was mostly just curious about this product after hearing about it from friends. After reading the reviews here, I chose Jessamine. The gloss is thick, sticky and very, very shiny. It usually lasts at least a few hours on me even if I'm drinking something. This color didn't actually provide much pigment but, due to the cinnamon oil, my lips seemed to flush a bit so it was shiny and natural looking. I didn't notice any significant "plumping" but I don't really need it either. I'd repurchase this if I ran out and I may try it other colors as well.

This is my favourite colour of the venom glosses.Such a beautiful shimmery colour!It is light brown with copper shimmers.I love the burning feeling on my lips.I love the texture of this lipgloss.The only thing that I don't like is that gloss (in general) hasn't the staying power of a lipstick.

Originally before buying this, I had been planning on getting the Venom Gloss in Lily instead. When i finally got to the store though (lol i drove an hour and a half just to get this lipgloss), they were out of Lily. So i looked around at the other colors and finally decided to settle for Jessamine instead. I am so glad i did! The color is a perfect sheer bronze color. I was scared it was going to be too dark on me (im a fff, nc20), but its not at all. Later i ended up getting the Venom Gloss in Lily, but as it turns out, i like Jessamine better! I will defidently repurchase this shade when i run out.

Great color, great shine and pretty long lasting for me. I don't need the "pouting effect" produced by the lip venom, but this gloss is pretty darn fantastic!

I was happily surprised with the
tint this produced on my lips. It looked kinda goth scary in the tube--seriously brown--but looked very natural on my lips. It's almost more shiny than I like, but I'm just not crazy for that looks- like-I'm-drooling shine on anyone. Now about the "tingling". I thought it was funny, and I suspect the only people who really notice any plumping in their lips are like me--I have very thin, thin lips, and they really do look different after I use this. I thought using this prodcut was fun. I just wish it wasn't so shiny---but then I'm really not a serious gloss fan

This is my 3rd Venom Gloss and it's no disappointment. Jessamine is a gorgeous neutral shade (reminds me of Desert JT) that has that Venom kick that I adore. Wish I had gotten this one first!

I LIVE FOR THIS GLOSS (and I wear it almost every day even though I have about ten others to choose from that I like as well)!
First, I am Black (Multi-Racial/Ethnic) - and have golden/yellow/tan/slightly olive color skin with already quite bright pink, almost red voluptuous lips - thank you very much...and this color works GREAT for me. Wearing this stuff, I got more compliments than ever on my full pucker!
The color is NOT as dark as everyone has exaggerated on other pages... It is MUCH lighter on than in the tube - and I am pretty light as black women go so I would imagine this would be true for everyone but PPP's.
The shine is UNREAL and the color is very natural and youthful looking. It lasts for a decent amount of time as well. It is worth the price since I have paid more for other glosses and it is unique in that it does slightly plump your lips and enhance your natural color and I like the tingle!
This will be an everyday staple unless I want deeper color for special occasions or evenings.
