Bare Escentuals Buxom lips lipgloss Gabby photos & swatches

This is my fist buxom lips gloss, and I have to say I really like it. It smells like sugar cookies and angel food cake! Yum. When applied, it has a minty tingle, and after a few minutes your lips feel really cold. It's neat, it feels like an ice cube on your lips.

Gabby is a plummy pink raspberry color. It leans more red than pink. It has a little bit of gold sparkle to it as well.
It applies a lot brighter than it looks in the tube. It's nice but just a little too red toned for my liking.



As for any plumping action? Nada! It didn't make any difference in the volume of my lips at all. I wouldn't call this a lip 'plumper', in fact I think it's false advertising. It has a lot of menthol in it to make your lips tingle, just like a C.O. Bigelow mint gloss.
Just as the BE buxom mascara failed to perform in the volume department, (see my review here) I can't say buxom lips is very buxom at all.
Even for $23 CAD I think this is a nice gloss, it smells amazing and lasts quite a while on the lips. I would love to try other colors from this line.

Bare Escentuals buxom lash mascara review

Not very buxom lashes...

I thought this would be a really nice mascara, and since I heard some random youtuber gushing over it I had to try it.
Well the brush is different. Big, and kinda wonky. Actually it's hard to describe so here is the pic:

ya so I figure it would be great for length and volume. Well it turns out that it lengthens alright but doesn't volumize at all. How's that 'buxom' ? Major dissapointment.
It made my lashes separate, and defined them, but meh- lot's of mascaras do that.
The end result was too natural looking for my taste. And too expensive.
On the up-side, it didn't smear or flake at all.
