    I have been raving about this lip gloss to everyone I know since the day I got my first one ... and now that I have a collection of 7, I am STILL recommending it to everyone I know. Like some other brands you can get at Sephora this is on the pricey side but to me it is worth every penny. Let me just keep it short for those of you looking for a quick opinion: it is, without a doubt, the best lip product I have ever used.
    There are a ton of colours so you'll be able to find something you like. Very cute packaging; all the shades are named after a girl (Dolly, Lolita). You really do get a plumping effect, but I have fairly plump lips already, and there wasn't a HUGE difference for me. The tingly feeling is great. Moisturizing (and I have VERY dry lips), not too sticky, stays on for a while for a gloss. Buxom puts out value sets every once in a while; I recently got a pack of 4 mini ones that are perfect for stashing in my bag and I got to try out different colours at a cheaper price. What's not to like? :)

    I personally like this lip gloss. It usually cost around $18, which for me is a little pricey, but worth the price. The texture, and taste is also great. Definitely worth it!

    Over the summer, one of my sisters sweetly surprised me with a tube of Buxom Lip Polish in "Claire", a pretty mauve color with tiny sparkles. I've been hooked ever since. Buxom Lip Polishes are extremely moisturizing, shiny, and have great staying power. Unlike some glosses, these aren't sticky or tacky.

    When I started running low, I tried the Michelle Phan gloss saving trick. (Check it out if you haven't seen it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poBgTkYsUvl) Sadly, there was so little to salvage that I decided to toss it. I replaced "Claire" with "Katie". Before you start thinking I'm narcissistic, know that I picked this gloss simply because I liked the color. Okay, and maaaaybe because of the name. LOL!

    "Katie" is a shimmery, milky pink that is perfect to layer over lipstick. I wouldn't wear it on its own as it's very sheer. As far as plumping goes, the gloss has a cooling effect when applied and gives my lips a subtle boost.

    Check out my before and after pictures. In the before photo, I have no products on my pout. The after photo proves that the gloss truly has plumping power! ;)

    This is an AMAZING lip gloss! I personally think it was worth every penny in its $18 but Bare Escentuals other lipgloss is $13 - so that is why it loses one star. I think the texture is great, not sticky at all. It makes your lips tingle nicely with a pretty pink pout. The smell is lovely (B.E. regular lip gloss also has a great scent) almost like mini-eggs. It's easy to put on, so you can be on a plane or walking down the street and not need a mirror (this is big for me). Go and get one!

    I got this set as a gift and the pinker shades are my favorite. They have just a hint of sting but it's covered mostly by a nice minty feeling. The scent is a little strange but it's not bad and doesn't take away from the product. The shimmer in the gloss is a bit thick which tends to enhance the little bit of peeling on my lips but otherwise I have no problem with the product. It's pretty and does just what it says. I just don't recommend plumpers to those who have lips that are thicker than wider. It can sometimes make my mouth look really small, but plump!
    A good set overall. I recommend definitely if you're wanting a light plumping gloss..

    This is my go-to lip color product. I ADORE it. I got hooked on it when I was at Sephora getting a makeover, and I just cannot get enough. It has a shine and sparkle that is second to none, and great staying power! I use Dolly.

    A lovely, cooling gloss that makes lips appear fuller and quite luscious. The colors are sheer and are great on any skin tone. Upon the initial application, they have a cool, stingy sensation. They are very smooth and feel wonderful on the lips. I love how they are not sticky at all, but yield high shine.

The smell is nice, is not overpowering, and has a sweet, cooling taste if licked. Overall, the best gloss I have tried!

    I've always been on the search for lip plumpers. While I still believe it is impossible to find something that will actually make your lips appear to be bigger, this works well as a lip gloss. I normally won't pay this much for a lip gloss, and I'm more of a fan of lipstick (it lasts much longer!) than lip gloss. But wow, I have this in Trixie, which is a pinkish, very lightly tinted gloss... and it's amazing! First of all, it has a minty smell, and for as long as you're wearing it you feel that special tingle on your lips. So if the tingle annoys you, you might not want to buy it, because it lasts for as long as the lip gloss does. I for one like the feeling, and it makes it feel as if it's plumping, even if it isn't. As for the look, while I don't find it really "plumps", it does make your lips APPEAR to be a bit fuller (not by much) because it goes on very smoothly and evenly and fills your lips in well (I don't know how to describe this properly!). Most lip glosses are VERY sticky and get stuck in your hair, very annoying. This one isn't sticky at all! I will probably still buy it, despite the price. I love the way it feels on my lips.

    I LOVE this product. It has a little bit of shimmer, and it gives an amazing sensation to the lips. Not to mention, it's long lasting, and the colours are so pretty. I buy the shade Bianca, which is similar to my name, and that's really the only reason as to why I bought it. Well, there's that and the fact that I like Bare Escentuals. It's a little sticky, but not so much that hair always gets stuck on your lips. I love the way it makes my lips look smooth and healthy. The gloss is amazing, try it out!
