I love this lip gloss. It's a really pale baby pink, but it looks good on anyone. It has shimmer in it, but it's not too in-your-face sparkly. The tingling feeling doesn't last too long. It feels kinda like a menthol lip balm on your lips. Personally, I like it. This lip gloss doesn't plump your lips at all though, but that wasn't something that I was looking for when purchasing this product. It's not too sticky, and it only lasts about 3 hours. Hopefully, not too much of a problem. I can't wait to buy another.

RIS, but this isn't my first Buxom gloss...
I love this one though---not too sticky, can wear it with any color FOTD, shimmery without sparkles. Gives just hint of a pinky-peach tint

This is a sheer baby pink with very fine shimmer. Has a very strong burning sensation that lingers but does no actual plumping of the lips. I do not like that it is a scented lip gloss either. Will stick with my fave Clinique lip glosses.

I got this in a deluxe (very deluxe) size free promotion from sephora with an online order, and I LOVE it! I've never owned anything from bare escentuals, or a buxom lip gloss and I'm pretty impressed. The colour is neutral and good for every day use and the finish is nice and glossy, but not glittery which I love. It has a very cooling sensation which is not my favourite, but I can deal with it because I love the colour and how it makes my lips look. The packaging is really cute too :)

I got this gloss for a steal at Sephora ($5 on sale!). So the price was crazy cheap, and the bottle is a nice size. I like the pacakaging better than, say, Lancome Juicy Tubes.

The product has a great texture/consistency. That I like. The light color is great for day wear. I do not think it does anything to make lips fuller (which is a crazy concept in the first place, imo. Absent an allergice reaction, I don't know how a lip gloss could "plump" lips).

The drawback is what some have described as a tingly feeling. To me, it's more of a burn. I wouldn't say it hurts, exactly, but it makes one very cognizant of her own lips, to be sure. I don't know why it seems to feel stronger than a tingle to me. Maybe I'm more sensitive (although I never thought so) or I got a super fresh batch, but I could do without that sensation.

I would be a bigger fan of their gloss if they took out the "plump"/burn factor. :)

I really like this gloss! I would describe Katie as a sheer baby pink, very pretty but quite subtle. I really feel that it plumps my lips up, they feel smoother and more moisturised, and the cooling/tingling sensation on the lips is really addictive! Good stuff!

overall this did not plump my lips at all. the gloss and very thick and sheer (kind of hard to spread) it as good staying power and a nice cooling feeling on my lips that's the only good thing i can think of and it's kinda sticky but not as bad as the mac dazzle glass!! i find this product very over priced for what it is and i think too faced lip plump does a much better job

I really love this, I usually love hot pink or red lips. But, I'm newly single and I read in a recent study that men prefer more neutral tones, fearing that our bright lipsticks will rub off on them. I'm still for self expression, but I did realize I needed more mute tones for my lips. This is a nice pink, and to a degree it does plump. The smell to me, is delicious! But it's really important to lip balm before using this. I felt it dried my lips out a bit. It also gives a cooling sensation, and stays on pretty well.

like all bare escentuals products, this lipgloss is amazing. the color looks great on any skin tone and the slight tingly feeling is great. it isn't too sticky and stays on for a long while. plus the tube will last you a minute.

I love the Buxom glosses -- they are just as effective at plumping and filling in lip lines as some of their more expensive counterparts, and without the sting! There is a mild chilling sensation, but it is not unpleasant. Katie is one of my favorite shades -- a pale, almost nude pink. It is perfect for every day or for when I have more dramatic eye makeup. Lovely!

This is seriously my favourite lipgloss. The quality is amazing, not the mention the gorgeous and super cute pin-up girl packaging. The plumping action is real, it make my lips look noticeably fuller! It slightly burns, but it a tingly way (it's not painful). The tingly feeling goes away quickly but your lips stay plumped for quite a while. The formula isn't sticky and is long-lasting. When it does wear off, it leaves my lips extremely moisturized and smooth. I really like this particular color, it's sheer enough to look natural but has a hint of light peachy-pink. It also has sparse fine glitter, so it gives a subtle glitter effect without being overbearing. I will definitely be repurchasing when I run out!

Natural, sheer pink tint that lasts forever on your lips and in the tube! (A little goes a long way!) It has a slight shimmer to it like most of the other BL line, which is fine for me!

Let me just start out by saying that I am a BE (and Buxom) fanatic but I hate lip gloss.. but I love this one. I hate any sort of lip color and this one is so sheer it gives my almost no color. This gloss is such a light pink that it looks so natural but still has a slight shine so you can tell that you have some kind of shiny gloss on your lips. Love this gloss, how natural it looks, the fact that its not at all sticky and goopey, and stays on for hours if I don't eat or drink. This product is $18 but it seems like it will last for forever. So far, this is my favorite lip gloss from either BE or Buxom and I will re purchse when I run out.

The color and the packaging are fine but the rest of the product stinks. Its very sticky like you can't wait to take it off sticky.Cliniques lip plumpers are much more comfortable. I didn't see any lip plumping effects at all. I used to use city lips lip plumper and it was just great and did plump my lips. I really don't know how they sell this stuff. Its going right back.

My favorite gloss! I'm on my third tube. It's the perfect pale pink. Lasts a long time and I like the slight tingle.

This is the first plumping lip gloss I've ever gotten and I really like it. I've tried peach lip glosses and red lip glosses already so I decided to try a pink one so I chose Katie, which is a baby pink. It's really big compared to other glosses that I have but that's not too much of a problem for me, plus the packaging is really durable. The colour is really sheer for me, the gloss has a lot of sparkles in it which is okay with me but I don't feel I can wear it all the time and some people might not like that. Also, the gloss isn`t too sticky so I don`t have any problems with my hair getting stuck on it. There's a really weird minty feeling when you put it on that goes away after a while. I got it in my mouth once and it didn't taste like anything but I had that feeling in my mouth and it just wouldn't go away. I haven't seen any plumping in my lips but I saw a video on youtube by a girl who put it on half of her lips and that half did look bigger compared to the other half so maybe it's just me.
Overall I really like this product although I am a bit unsure about the repurchasing part because it is really expensive at $26 Canadian so I'm really reluctant shelling out another $26 in the future for a product that didn't make me say I really really love this product and I would use it all the time, it just met my expectations. I might if I grow to love this more though.

I love the Buxom lipglosses, but was a bit disappointed in this lipgloss. The color is a baby pink which I initially thought would look great on my fair skin, but it's just not working for me. That said, the Buxom lipglosses are fantastic and this may be a perfect color for SOMEBODY, but for me (fair skin with cool undertones, brown hair and eyes) it just doesn't work. It's a nice lipgloss, but this shade is definitely nothing special, and therefore not worth the big price tag.

I love this gloss. It is a sheer baby pink with a hint of shimmer. It leaves that cool buxom minty tingle on my lips while keeping them smooth and moisturized.

Imaging the exact color of Clinique "air kiss" with a very cold feeling thrown in.

Now that sounds odd, but it's not minty... it's like I rubbed an ice cube on my lips...different, but pretty color.
Cheaper dupe is clinique.
