Today I am going to be reviewing the Buxom plumping lip balm! I’ve never had a plumping lip balm before so this will be an interesting review! That’s also the reason that caught my eye about is product, I’ve had plumping lipglosses before but a lip balm is something that’s not really big right now in the makeup industry!

Color options:
BIG O: this is the one I purchased, and it’s a sheer pink color.
Dolly Fever: This is described as a mauve color.
Inner Glow: This is a nude shade.
Dragonfruit Lip Scrub: This one is cool idea, on the description it says it will help you with achieving soft, smooth lips!
First impressions:
The actual lip balm product is cute, I really love it! The tube is this really pretty light pink and as you can see in the photo BUXOM is right in the middle! Now when you open the lip balm you’ll see that the product is creme color but that’s not how it actually looks when applied! I’m now going to be going over the application.
Application
The first thing I noticed when applying the product is that it’s clear. Don’t worry though it’s not going to stay like that! Over the next minute, it’ll turn a pinkish color, and it’s not too strong. It’s going to be a beautiful natural pink color. After letting the product sit on my lips for a few minutes I was pleasantly surprised. Overall I would say this kind of product is perfect for a natural makeup look!
Now the plumping is probably what you came here for and this is my experience! It’s going to start stinging after 30 seconds, and I would say the tingling is like a 5 out of 10. It’s not going to hurt, my lips also feel really cool. I’ve had it on for around 7 minutes and I can see the changes! My lips are still tingling and the plumping effect it gives is really natural! I like it, there’s definitely a change and my lips look bigger but not to the point where it looks too big.
Here are a few other things I want to add about this product:
- It feels very smooth on your lips, and it doesn’t feel sticky at all.
- I would say that you could wear this with light makeup!
