I recently had the chance to try a lip plumper by independent beauty line, EnvyDerm.
The Lip Volumizing and Conditioning Plumper purports to instantly increase lip fullness by up 37%, while simultaneously hydrating and beautifying the lips.

Retailing for $23, this peptide and organic oil-infused formula comes in ten sheer pearl and shimmer-based shades ranging from the most delicate translucent (Coco) to the deepest Blackberry (Rose Bleu). I had the opportunity to try three shades:
- Mauve…a pale, shimmery pink with true mauve undertones.
- Jolie…a bright peachy pink with golden shimmer.
- Coco…a translucent clear with delicate, iridescent shimmer.

The plumper comes in a secure, lucite-like square tube and contains a doe-foot applicator well-suited to precise application. Texturally-speaking, this formula is divine…it is cushiony and plush without being ultra-sticky and wears comfortable for hours. The tingle it imparts feels invigorating…it is quite pronounced (but not at all irritating), which I adore. My lips literally feel like they are filling out upon application and while the tingle wears off after about ten minutes, my full, moisturized pout remains! I love using this as a hydrating treatment, a plumper under dryer lipsticks and a sheer wash of color (Mauve looks killer with a smokey eye).
Scroll on for images of all three shades on the lips as well as the Bottom Line…

Bottom Line: The
EnvyDerm Lip Volumizing and Conditioning Plumper is exceptional…with all of the “lip plumpers” on the market, it is rare for me to be significantly impressed with the efficacy of a plumping formula. The invigorating tingle, extreme hydration and full pout this creates is pure delight and I now have a tube stashed in my purse (makes an excellent base for lip color)
and by my bedside (soft, plump lips in the morning, thank you very much). Highly recommended!
