BUXOM LIPS: DEBBIE- REVIEW

My lovely bf got me this Buxom Lip Gloss. I love lip glosses and this orangey color is very nice. I couldn't wait to try it on!


Buxom Lip Gloss in Debbie

The color is gorgeous. There are micro specks of gold shimmer in the gloss.

The lip gloss has a minty scent about it. I like the mint effect because it adds freshness to your lips.

 Here's the lip gloss on. You can build the color easily.

RATING:
COLOR:
The color is very pretty and sheer. The color is easy to build and apply.

PACKAGING:
The gloss comes in a cute box and comes in a simple tube.

PRICE:
I got the lip gloss as a gift so I give it a 5. At Sephora, it runs around $18.

SCENT:

Clean and minty. I like the freshness.

PLUMPING:

I don't see any plumping effect even though it claims to plump your pout.

DURATION OF WEAR:
I don't have much to say about the duration of wear. It's pretty decent. I didn't come across much to complain about.

BUXOM LIPS: SANDY- REVIEW

I have been eyeing nude glosses from BUXOM LIPS at Sephora and finally scourged out some money to try one out . BUXOM LIPS is made by Bare Escentuals and boasts a plethora of the colored glosses, available in sheer, shimmery, and opaque finishes. I picked out SANDY because I prefer the opaque nude color. 
Here's my review on BUXOM LIPS in SANDY!

Oooooh pretty


The packaging has an adorable doodle of a foxy lady....I'm guessing her name is Sandy.

I adore the color. The pictures don't do it justice.

The gloss has a minty scent to it .

Here's a swatch. Gorgeous right?

It's not as opaque as I wanted it to be , but still a very nice nude shade.
The gloss has a very minty feel to it. It tingles a bit which I kinda like.
Although the packaging advertises "pout-plumping perfection," I haven't seen much plumping effect


REVIEW

COLOR:  
A desirable nude color but not as opaque as I wanted.

PACKAGING:  
Cute packaging on the box and a simple tube.

PRICE: 
A bit pricey, for $18, it's a bit too much.

PLUMPING:   
I did not see any plumping, so I can't give it a high rating.

SCENT: 
I like the minty, clean scent. 

DURATION OF WEAR:  
A decent duration of wear. It's not the best but not the worst. The consistency is a bit sticky, so if you don't like sticky lip glosses, BUXOM LIPS might not be for you. I can tolerate it since it's not as sticky as the MAC Lipglass.

OVERALL:  
BUXOM LIPS in SANDY is a decent gloss, it's not my Holy Grail of glosses but its not that bad. Too pricey though, but I do enjoy the tingly, minty feeling. It could use more vibrancy and the plumping effect. 

See ya soon!
