je t'aime

Long before I discovered the miraculous powers of eye makeup,
my everyday beauty routine generally consisted of lip gloss, lip gloss, and more lip gloss {as you
can probably tell, I have a thing for shimmery, glossy goodness}.

Though I now have a virtual beauty department in my bathroom {consisting of everything from
nail polish and eyeshadow palettes to mascara, eyeliner, and a rainbow-color assortment of lipstick},
my love for lip gloss has remained unchanged. So of course I immediately said yes when EnvyDerm offered me the chance to try their Lip Volumizing and Conditioning Plumper.

I received the Je T'aime shade which is a strawberry red shimmer that is just red enough to add
color to your face, without leaving the non-red wearer {of which I count myself} cowering in fright.

I have tried many plumping/volumizing glosses in the past, and some can be offensive in feel and flavor.
I found that EnvyDerm's Lip Volumizing and Conditioning Plumper didn't fall into this trap.
While I do tend to feel a slight tingling on my lips for about 5 minutes after application, it isn't an uncomfortable feeling;
and the fact that it is coupled with a vibrant Spearmint flavor makes it more of a
just-brushed-your-teeth tingle, as opposed to a bee-stung tingle.

My two favorite aspects of this product are the applicator - a clawfoot-esque wand that has more of a flat, paddle shape which allows you to spread the product more evenly over your lips; and the packaging/tube itself.
This is one of those designer-like lip gloss tubes that make you feel luxurious simply by pulling it out of your makeup bag.

I have only used this product a handful of times, so I can't say whether I've seen any plumping action going on; but I do feel that my lips are far more hydrated and softer than before.
And for that moisturizing-effect alone, I can't help but to give this product two {well-manicured} thumbs up.
Have you tried EnvyDerm's Lip Volumizing and Conditioning Plumper? Thoughts?
