Very nice light plum color, sheer but buildable. Wonderful texture if used over lip balm, if you apply it to dry lips it can get sticky. Lovely minty/tingly sensation, very refreshing.

This is my favorite plumping gloss! It really does add fullness to my lips (they don't need much plumping, but its always nice!) the cooling sensation is so nice. It's extremely moisturizing, which is important, as my lips get dry and chap frequently. This particular color is perfect. It adds just a hint of sparkle without looking gloppy, frosty, or plasticky. The price is steep for my broke budget, but it lasts a long time, so it's worth it! :)

I got this lip gloss in a glambag. I tried it the first time I got it & I thought I was having an allergic reaction to it since my lips felt all tingly & stuff. My friend later told me that's what the lip gloss is supposed to do so then I applied it one day & I loved how my lips looked. It made my lips look nice & full & since I'm not crazy about bright colors or too dark colors, this one was perfect for me. I ended up going out to Sephora to buy a larger sized version.

Sugar,,,,,,,,oh honey, honey, you are my candy girl and you got me wantin' you!! I tried this as a BI sample and fell in love and had to go back and buy a full size product. Not something I regularly do. The color of this gloss is absolute perfection. Gives you that nudish pink plump lip look. Not too much, not too little, just right. I'm 48 and love this, it has a minty tingle, but nothing too irritating. The color lasts fairly well and the price is not the worst ($19). You get alot of product for your $$ too. Highly recommend this if you want a natural but not "too" natural look.

I got this at Sephora after I redeemed some of my VIB points, just because I have never tried Buxom before. I am so glad I did! The color is beautiful. I love the tingling effect, it's not a burn like most lip plumpers, but very cooling. It stayed on for hours and it made my lips plumper.It didn't have a bad taste either.It isn't super sticky, I mean, it is a gloss so of course its going to be a bit sticky....just don't wear it on a really windy day. I would say, it does it's job.

Love this gloss!! It plumps up your lips without the unbearable burning sensation that other plumpling glosses sometimes give, it just gives you a bit of a tingling sensation. It looks and feels great on and is very long lasting. The only downside is the price...

Yes this product is a bit on the pricey side, but I've spent a lot of $$ on MAC and have found a much better bang for my buck! First, the color is awesome. And let me tell you the color and the lip gloss itself lasts awhile! I don't have to worry about it fading or smudging off easy. Secondly, I love how it tingles and plumps up my lips and those lines on my lips literally disappear! And it tastes kinda sweet. Not medicinal or bitter. And the packaging may be on the big size but it's easier for me to find in my big bag full of ther stuff :)
So yes I will definitely stay with this and it has lasted for over 2 months now. Good product, good results, worth the price!

This was my first Buxom lip gloss, and won't be the last!! Love the color - not too much, but enough to know I've applied something other than clear! Wasn't a huge fan of the tingle at first - but it's grown on me. Very neutral color - good for day wear!

My best friend gave me this gloss, and I love it! The color is beautiful, and is perfect for an Autumny look, and the formula is slightly tacky, which I love, and stains your lips a little bit, instead of disappearing altogether. I don't know if I would purchase this...it's a huge tube, and will last me a long time, but I will enjoy using it!

This is my first Buxon gloss from Bare Escentuals and it will not be my last. I LOVE IT!!! The color Sugar is very natural on my lips and the staying power is over the top. After shower, my lip gloss is still on and that is after using facial wash. It is also not very sticky. As for the plumping, it's just an illusion of it. The tingling feeling makes it feel like your lip is plumping up and the shine adds a little "plumping" appearance. Overall, if you are a natural makeup kind of girl then you will like this gloss.

A nice rose-beige for your lips with a bit of shimmer to it! Leaves your lips with a refreshing, tingly feeling (almost pepperminty)! Would highly recommend the Buxom Lips line from Bare Escentuals!

At $19 it is expensive, but you do get a lot of product (probably 2-3x as much as other glosses). Great color and great staying power, and I am usually not a big fan of glosses because a) I am from a windy town where your hair is always blowing in your face so you want to avoid sticky glosses and b) I have sad, thin lips. This isn't too garish though, and just makes them look healthier rather than tart. Good product!

Love love love this this lip gloss. This was the initial buxom I bought and now it will be the only lip gloss I wear. Regardless of the 'swelling' of the lips.....it is just an overall super great lip gloss and has great staying power and shine beyond belief.

I just bought Sugar at the outlet in Birch Run, MI for Bare Escentuals. I didn't even know Bare Escentuals had an outlet store!

I love it!!!!
Love the color and sparkle, the tingling effect and best of all I paid $19 for this lipgloss in a package - which included blush, and 2 eye shadows in a cool bright orange makeup container. NOW you can't beat that!

This is such a great colored lipgloss. It adds enough color and shine, and I love the tingling. I would actually say it is cooling, as it does not sting or anything like that. I can't say that it plumps my lips though. Overall, I like this product and would recommend it.

So I went to Sephora on mission to buy a new lip gloss. I had never tried Buxom lip glosses, but I heard such great things about them, that I had to try. At first I was a little hesitant because 1) I have pretty full lips, and I had never tried a plumping lip gloss; and 2) Since I've never tried a plumping lip gloss, I didn't know what to expect when other people said I would feel "a tingling sensation."

When I tried it, I was pleasantly surprised. My lips didn't swell to some crazy size. The tingling sensation is actually pretty cool. The texture is slightly sticky but not the kind where your hair annoyingly sticks to your lips on a windy day (I mean it will, but it doesn't feel gross :) It smells sweet in the tube, but I can't smell it when I'm wearing it.

Now I absolutely love the Buxom lip glosses. I ended up purchasing Sugar, Dolly, and the Sailor Girl set. For my skin tone (NW30), Sugar is my daily lip gloss and looks the most natural, and I love it.

If you are worried about it feeling too sticky as time goes on, try putting a little bit of Smith's Rosebud Salve on before applying this gloss--it'll feel a bit more slicker =)

I love this one! It has enough shimmer that fills in my lines and has slightly more coverage than the other sheer Buxoms. I have a love/hate relationship with shimmer. If the contrast is too much, I hate it, but the shimmer is the same color as the gloss & makes it look thicker on. I've read this is a beige rose shade & agree. A darker neutral day lip with more rose tone. I love it. I hope this one is easier to find as popularity grows. This one doesn't age my lips & love it. Wears longer than many glosses, too.

I want to like this more than I honestly do. I got it in the Eyes Lips Cheeks kit and its a great color I just can't get over the stickyness of it. Ofcourse lipgloss is sticky but I personally like a slicker more slippery lipgloss rather than a pastey pavement lipgloss, you know? I would just avoid using this product while I'm at my busiest and thats when I want to have good lipgloss on is when I'm working around people I want that long lasting moisturizing lipgloss. Unfortunatly this just isnt it. Like I said way to sticky and the tingle to me is almost to uncomfortable to where I want to take it off because of the tingle almost immediatly after I apply it. Even my boyfriend complained about it being so stinging cold and he couldnt understand why I wear it. I dont either because I'm not very satisfied with it. Only thing I will credit it on is its lasting power.
