Buxom Lips

I have to admit I have a love/hate relationship with Bare Escentuals Buxom Lips Lip gloss. I own quite a few in different colors: Trixie, Dolly, Amber, Brandi and the full color gloss Roxanne. First thing, it is supposed to be a lip plumper. I have never ever experienced any sort of plumping action from this gloss. There is a menthol tingle that accompanies the lip gloss but the "buxomness" is underwhelming. The scent/taste is what bothers me the most. I think it is supposed to be a cake batter-like flavor, but it just tastes so wrong to me. I also don't like the feeling it leaves on my lips and it doesn't have great lasting power. I know it seems like I hate this gloss, but I keep buying/trying because I desperately want to like it. The colors are fantastic, it is a more grownup gloss because it is shiny not glassy and the shimmer isn't overbearing. I like wand formula lip gloss. And the packaging for Buxom Lips is super cute. I love it. And I am pretty sure that everyone I know loves this gloss. I just think that I set my expectations too high for this one.

Buxom Lips retails for $18. Try it for yourself and let me know if you like it!
