Mr Juicy’s family kindly gave me a lipstick and lipgloss from Nu Skin’s cosmetics range to try for my birthday. The lipstick was Nu Colour Replenishing Lipstick in Champagne Kisses and Nu Skin describe it much better than I ever could...
“Every time you use Replenishing Lipstick you protect your lips on a cellular level. Because delicate lip tissue is more prone to environmental damage, Replenishing Lipstick features powerful antioxidant protection from skin -ageing free radicals.
Retexturises lip tissue. Restructures the texture of your lips. Alleviates cracking and dryness. Keeps lips feeling hydrated, healthy and smooth.
Non-feathering formula. Delivers creamy color that does not bleeds into lip lines. Created to make lips look younger.
Smooth glide application. Unique formula feels velvety smooth going on and delivers an even and continuous layer of color. Keeps lips feeling soft and moist throughout the day.”
I would never have picked this nude/apricot color myself but I love it on! It just shows you that you should try things outside your comfort zone sometime.
This lipstick is creamy and glides on very easily. It lasts as well as any other lipsticks I’ve tried and is noticeably less drying than most. It has a satin like texture with a bit of sparkle, and can be made glossy and shiny by using a clear lip gloss over the top. Speaking of lip gloss...
I was also gifted a Nu Skin Contouring Lip Gloss in clear. Again, Nu Skin can describe it much better than I can!
“Kiss thin, undefined lips goodbye with Nu Colour® Contouring Lip Gloss for full, shapely, youthful looking lips. This ultra shiny gloss features an oligopeptide to define and contour lips, focusing on the “cupid’s bow” that tends to fade with age. Clinically proven to stimulate collagen production, this peptide helps you achieve the full, shapely lips you desire in only 28 days. Ideal to wear alone or over your favorite shade of Nu Colour® Replenishing Lipstick, this long-wearing formula glides on smoothly, delivering a sophisticated shine. With Nu Colour® Contouring Lip Gloss, the more you wear it, the better your lips will look.”
I'm not too sure about the claims that the more you wear it the better your lips will look. I think this gloss does make my lips look bigger and fuller, but I suspect that this is an optical allusion rather than a long term plumping effect!
Texture wise it is very similar to Lancome's Juicy Tubes, although I found I had to re-apply this lip gloss a lot less that I have to with Juicy Tubes.
All in I think these products are fantastic, even if I'm not convinced about the long term benefits they claim to have. They look and feel great on and if they are secretly wporking away doing my lips some long term good then it's just an added bonus as far as I'm concerned.
Has anyone else ever tried anything from Nu Skin?
*Nu Skin tests it's cosmetics on animals when required to do so by the law. These products were gifted to be way back in August, before I went cruelty free.
