Buxom Cosmetics Vividly Bold Matte Moisturizing Gel Lipstick REVIEW

Matte gel lipsticks are all over the beauty shelves these days. They may not be the best nourishing lipsticks for the lips, but they do look good.  Buxom Cosmetics is known for their bold, sexy gel lipsticks. Their sinful cinnamon gel lipstick is one of them. This lipstick is highly pigmented and it is parabens, sulfates, and  phthalates free. The chocolaty scent is what drew me to it. It was like sniffing Hershey’s kisses.

Buxom Cosmetics Vividly Bold Matte Moisturizing Gel Lipstick REVIEW

Staying power:

4-5 hours is what I get with this gel lipstick, with absolutely no eating, nor drinking. This is not something you get often with a moisturizing matte lipstick. The lipstick does fade after eating or drinking, but it leaves a stain behind. You will definitely need to reapply it after you eat or drink.

Packaging:

The best feature of the packaging is the magnetic closure. You don’t have to worry about losing the cap in your purse.  The chunky tube is also very attractive. The word buxom is embossed on the tube and the name of the shade is printed on the bottom of the tube.  The tip of the gel lipstick is flat, which might be a problem for some people, but I love it.

Formula:
This color is so intense. One swipe is all I needed to get an opaque look and matte finish. The formula is so light, but provides instant color. The best part is that there is a shade for every skin type. But swiping the lipstick on too much can create a chalky and unattractive look. Less is definitely more.

This lipstick does make the lip appear fuller. I think even my face looks fuller. LOL! I would be lying if I said it glides on the lips easily. But since the formula is so rich, I would not count that against it. The staying power is better than expected and the lipstick does feel light and delightful on the lips.

My rating:
4.5/5 stars

    That's a great neutral shade for you and your eye make up is lovely. A lipstick that smells like Hershey's kisses might make my crave sweets throughout the day!
