neuENVY Peptide Enhanced Mascara

This brand was new to be so I had to sample what turned out to be a fabulous mascara...neuENVY peptide enhanced mascara®.

A first of its kind, neuENVY peptide enhanced mascara combines exclusive conditioning benefits designed to improve the appearance of natural lashes with its amazing color, volume and unstoppable definition of a conditioning mascara.

Acting as a daytime complement to neuLASH lash enhancing serum, neuENVY is boosted with a proprietary blend of peptides to help strengthen, condition and hydrate. The buildable formula wears well all day without smudging or flaking and features an exclusive asymmetrical brush designed to wrap and define every lash, top and bottom. It can also be used to extend the life and lushness of lash extensions, conditioning and protecting the lashes between trips to the salon.

Features and Benefits:

 Mascara and lash serum hybrid combines the benefits of a serum with the color, volume and definition of mascara

 Extends the life of lash extensions by conditioning and protecting between salon visits

 Long lasting formula wears all day and easily washes off with your favorite cleanser or eye makeup remover

 Plant derived oils and extracts rich in triglycerides, vitamins and conditioning agents help improve lash texture and luster

 Pro Vitamin B5 enhances flexibility and resilience for healthier looking lashes

 Vitamin E, an antioxidant, helps nourish each lash and protects against free radicals

 Bioengineered peptides, a proprietary combination of amino acids, help rejuvenate the lashes and enhance their overall appearance

How to Apply:

Holding the brush at the root of your lash line, wiggle the brush in small motions from left to right beginning at the base and pulling up through to the very tip of the lashes. 

For best results, use neuLASH lash enhancing serum as a night treatment, and neuENVY peptide enhanced mascara as it's daytime complement.

Retail Information:

neuENVY peptide enhanced mascara™ retails for $32 at SkinResearchLabs.com as well as prestige beauty retailers nationwide including Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s and luxury spas.

Review: INSTAPLUMPER from Violent Lips

This tingled like crazy in the very beginning of application, but it certainly works! I had to get used to the feeling for a good 15 minutes, but after that....all good! Note that I get lip filler twice a year and it still made my lips more full. I loved the results!

InstaPlumper is a natural lip enhancing application that is more intense than lip enhancer glosses, yet less painful (for your wallet & lips) than lip injections. Each pack contains 8 applications.

Made with 6 natural ingredients to deliver the ultimate plumping power (cinnamon oil, capsicum oil, sunflower oil, peppermint, black pepper oil, and coffee bean oil), InstaPlumper lasts up to 8 hours and will leave you with lips that rival the look of professional injections.

For best results, use InstaPlumper multiple days in a row. The longer InstaPlumper is left on, the more luscious, full, and perfectly plumped your lips will be. The product can simply be removed with a makeup remover wipe or baby oil.
