New From Buxom!
Buxom is a brand I haven't tried before but after getting these lippies... I
need some more Buxom in my life! :-) I won't be reviewing them in this post, expect more of a
first impressions. I received them today (Friday) and immediately put them on and had to get some swatches up! Overall they seem to have a
promising formula and the packaging is so
bad ass! This new lipstick line is split into
mattes and
satins and they're each
$22 at Sephora.
Even the box is so cute! I love when brands add a
little something to set them apart from other brands.
I purchased one of each finish and to my surprise the
packaging matches the finish (which is
so cool!) I was so excited when I saw them, they just look so different!
I wanted to
compare them to the Nars Audacious Lipsticks for size reference. They are a great size, a little on the
chubby side. The best part?....
MAGNETIC TUBE! Just like the Nars lippies these are magnetic! I wasn't expecting that at all but I love it because it matches the price! ;-)
The size of the lipstick itself is wider than most which makes it a
little difficult to achieve a precise application. You need to be extra careful but since the formula feels so good I can overlook that! They smell amazing by the way, like a
warm vanilla! Let's get into lip swatches:
*Rebel Rose- this is my favorite of the two because that color is perfection! It's a beautiful rosy pink in the satin finish which doesn't feel like a typical satin. This lipstick is so creamy and leaves your lips looking glossy and juicy! I can't get over how stunning that color is, truly a great everyday shade!
*Vampy Plum- this is a matte deep plum but doesn't really feel like a matte. It feels and looks more like a satin matte because it's so creamy! I love this color but it was a bit difficult to apply evenly because of the creamy consistency. I would rather wear it with a lip liner to make sure it doesn't slip away. This formula is so comfortable though!
I hope these swatches were helpful! I can already tell the "satins" will be my favorites from this line and I can't wait to try some other colors. As soon as I put it on it just felt so good! There's tons of colors to choose which I love. The color payoff is fantastic, full color in one swipe! The packaging is also so cool.... overall I'm loving these so far! :-)
