I love this color it is a sheer peach color and looks nude but I love to wear it alone it's an everyday kind of color. I love the way this lipgloss feels on my lips. This is the first lipgloss brand that actually moisturizes and looks good. I love this and can't live without this color.

Beautiful colour golden peach really makes my lips look juicy enough to bite according to my OH. These are not widely available in The UK which is a shame but would repurchase again. The only con is the really bulky tube. I adore the colour it has a nice minty taste and does plump my lips up.

This is the first gloss I've ever completely used up. It's a gorgeous peachy-pink nude color that I can wear alone and it gives a pretty peachy-nude shine that is very natural. I have pigmented lips and not many glosses can make them appear nude however, I would say this is similar in color to Revlon Super Lustrous Nude Lustre. The only difference is the Buxom gloss has some shimmer and is a bit lighter. I didn't notice any plumping but it does have a tingly, cooling sensation and I love the way the Buxom glosses smell, almost like vanilla birthday cake. I would definitely buy it again but I won't run out and get a replacement immediately especially with the economy as it is, I'll stick with Revlon for the time being although I prefer the Buxom.

This is my favourite lip gloss ever!
It's the most flatter peachy colour and so shiny :) I don't find it sticky personally. I also love the tingly minty-ness. It's not stingy like other plumping lip products, but a nice tingly mint. It doesn't plump my lips much though (which I don't mind because I have full enough lips anyway), just smoothes them out and makes them look pretty and shiny.

This is one of my top 5 lip glosses! The packaging is pretty but simple with a silver top and a clear tube with minimal writing in silver on the side. The tube is light it doesn’t have that “heavy, expensive” feel but it’s just heavy enough to not feel totally cheap either. The gloss itself has a sweet smell to it I’m not sure how to describe it, not exactly vanilla but almost like warm sugar, I like it a lot. Now the gloss color is amazing! It warms up pale skins and perfectly accents dark skinned ladies and look very pretty/nude on tan I think. It is a peach color with super small pink/gold shimmer in it which gives it a warm look to the gloss itself while the base is nice and shiny. It is very slightly sticky but not too bad, believe me I am one of the people who HATE sticky glosses and can’t stand to have that sticky texture on my lips – I don’t know how anyone can wear MAC Lipglass! Also because it is a little bit thicker it stays on for a good time as far as lip glosses go and doesn’t leave your lips dry. I don’t think it plumps at all, never really used one that actually does but the shine makes your lips appear fuller anyway, plus I just love that tingly feeling that mint in glosses gives! This is a staple, I always keep it in my purse as it compliments any outfit/makeup look as it is a nude(ish) color. However, as much as I love this, it is quite expensive.

After receiving a sample size of Betty in a small kit I got, I knew I HAD to try a full size! Knowing my love for nude lips, I got Amber, and wow! Love this stuff! It has a nice minty-vanilla smell/taste, and it really lasts! It's a bit sticky, but I like sticky glosses, as they usually last longer, and they don't leave my lips feeling like they're covered in drool. The color is very very sheer, and it doesn't really plump that much (but since my lips are already full, I'm fine with that) but even after the gloss has worn off, my lips feel soft and moisturized. Dare I say it...this might be my HG!

I used my BE rewards card and a coupon that this gloss was essentially free with my purchase. It is pretty, however on its own it is not very pigmented, but a good choice if you are going for a natural look. When I want this a bit more pigmented I layer it over BE lipcolor in French Pastry. I can't attest to its plumping power since my lips are already plump. I don't think I'd be buying this again since I already own Mac Lustreglass in Love Nectar and I prefer that since it isn't a plumping gloss.

I just bought this today and I already love it! It's a flattering peachy-nude color with a tiny hint of shimmers. It is a little bit on the sticky side, but not so much so, and not at all heavy. The finish is gorgeous. This gloss is also pretty long lasting, which is really nice because I hate those lip products where you just put it on and then they're suddenly gone off your lips. Best of all, it smells like desserts! I can't put my finger on the scent; it just smells kind of like Christmas to me if that makes sense...? And though it is a bit expensive, you do get quite a lot of product. I don't expect to run out of this for a while. But yes, I really like this lip gloss. Definitely a keeper!

These are my newest obsession, Amber in particular is a gorgeous peachy-nude colour with gold and peach shimmer. Don't be afraid of the shimmer though, it's so fine that on your lips you can't even see it. This lipgloss rides the line between creamy and sticky in that it's thicker but not enough to be sticky but still has pretty good staying power if that makes sense. They're pretty pigmented for glosses but definitely not opaque. My favourite thing about the Buxom glosses is the minty cooling feeling and how that feeling lasts the whole time the gloss stays on your lips. If you're not a fan of that feeling or tend to be really sensitive to these types of gloss stay away form these, I just happen to love it. As far as plumping goes I don't see much of a difference but that's not why I buy these. These glosses are a little steep at $18 a piece but I think totally worth it. I'm up to five of these babies and I haven't found one I dislike yet.

I have bought this 3 times. It's one of those products that i freak out if im running out! It plumps up the little lines on your lips and its not toooo sticky. The color is so neutral and pretty. I love the tingly sensation of the plumping!!! I like this better than Lip Fusion. And this one is 18 dollars compared too 38 dollars for Lip Fusion! If they ever discontinue this i will be crushed.

this is really nice! first of all, the packaging. it's huge and curvy, which is a nice change from tiny MAC lipglass containers. the gloss itself is tingly and smells like cookies and cinnabuns. it's a bit sticky but it's long lasting so i dont mind. the colour is definitely the most flattering, it's peach with gold shimmer and medium pigmentation. this lipgloss definitely has the 'whole package' (nice colour, smells good, nice packaging) and is cheaper, again, than a Lipglass for the amount of gloss. buy it!

Feels nice and tingly. I love the color! I have fair skin and really pignmented lips, so makeup can look really over done on me. When I'm going for more dramatic eyes, I put Amber on, because it adds some nice shine to my lips, but it tones down the color so I don't feel like a clown.
As far as lip plumping goes, I've never noticed any difference Buxom lips makes. So don't buy it if that's all you're looking for. But the color is lovely, and the gloss just feels so nice to wear!

This is a pretty light peachy pink gloss with a bit of shimmer. It keeps my lips smooth and gives a fresh minty tingle.

I got this in a packaged set. The color is supposed to be a shimmery nude peach, but it goes on very sheer. I have tan olive toned skin so there was no color just shine and shimmer. It goes on smooth unless your lips are dry, and then it feels gritty and sticky. I don't think I would buy this line of lipgloss again because it just didn't wow me. But I will use it up until it's gone!

This is my first Buxom lip lipgloss. Unfortunately I'm not really ecstatic about it. The color is just so-so. It's very sheer on my fairly pigmented lips and NC30-35 skin tone. It goes on a strange cool toned almost slight gray cast sometimes. In the tube it's a gorgeous peachy pink color with gold shimmer particles. It is smooth to apply and does not feel gritty. It does have a nice cooling sensation, which I like. I don't think it really makes my lips any fuller though. The amount of product is quite generous for about $20 incld. tax. So overall, it's not bad and I think I will re-purchace this line of gloss, just not this color.

I really like the buxum lip line, generally how it looks and feels, easy to apply and all that. This color is a very basic everyday look, which is totally necessary, but hard to get way excited about. I'll probably get it again cause it's so damn usefull. It adds a little color but could practically pass for clear, so you kinda get both at once. All in all, a perfect passing grade.

got this for free from sephora, so luckily i didn't waste any money on this product.

Packaging
A veritable nightmare. It leaks and makes a sticky, minty mess. It is also bulky as heck, which is weird, because you don't actually get that much gloss for the $18 you pay. Most of the tube is the cap and the outer bottle.

Product
Crap. Oh, sure the color is nice, but I cant STAND the sticky, goopy, oozy feel of the gloss. And wait until it dries (which takes a while) and deposits a buttload of cheap glitter chunks in the lines on your lips. It made me, age 18, look old. The mint is a weird vanilla-mint which tastes like chemicals. I stuck with this gloss for a week, but in the end, no plumping. nothing but a sticky mess at the bottom of my makeup organizer.
