I bought the Buxom Full-On Plumping Lip Cream in the shade Dolly when Ulta had them on sale for $10.

First off, the Buxom Full-On Plumping Lip Cream is similar to the Buxom Full-On Plumping Lip Polish because both are lip-plumping glosses, but the Lip Creams do not have a shimmer finish like the Lip Polish. The shade Dolly is a sheer mauve color with a gloss finish. This lip cream applies smoothly and evenly with the applicator, and I only need to use one layer. After applying the lip cream, my lips feel tingly from the lip-plumping ingredients, but I do not notice any plumping effect.
However, the lip cream is not sticky despite being a gloss. The lip cream also feels moisturizing on my lips. Since the lip cream is a gloss, it only lasts a few hours before I have to reapply it, and it is also not transfer-proof. These lip creams are regularly $25 each, which I think is quite expensive for a lip gloss. Since these lip creams are so expensive, I expected a lot more from this high-end gloss.
At Ulta, there are 20 shades available of these lip creams varying from nudes, pinks, and purples, but I do not think I will purchase another lip cream. There are also 36 shades of the Buxom Full-on Plumping Lip Polish in a similar range of shades. If you are interested in these lip creams, I would recommend purchasing them on sale. Otherwise, I would recommend purchasing a more affordable gloss like the NYX Butter Gloss because NYX has similar results minus the lip-plumping ingredients.
Overall, the Buxom Full-On Lip Cream has a pretty color, but only average results for a high-end gloss.
I’m glad I read this, I’ve been looking to get a lip plumper, and it sure won’t be this one!
I hope you find a lip plumper that works!
The packaging is so pretty and it’s so sad that it didn’t work out well for you.
I agree and it’s so expensive too!
The colour is pretty but I don’t think any gloss type of product would ever be worth $20!
I agree with you & that’s why I paid only $10 for it. No gloss should be more than that unless it’s some super-pigmented, long-lasting, and transfer-proof gloss.
