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!
