Buxom Va-Va-Plump Shiny Liquid Lipstick ($20) is a new plumping liquid lipstick that has a glossy, shiny finish. Yes! I’m so happy that I don’t have to contend with yet another matte liquid lipstick. Let’s hope more brands catch on and start releasing shiny lip products this Summer.
Buxom launched Va-Va-Plump Shiny Liquid Lipstick in a whooping 20 shade selections all of which promise a pigmented and glossy finish that has a formula which contains peptide and hyaluronic acid. I typically like plumping formulas but I’m under no disillusion that most times the plump and volume promises is due to irritating ingredients like cinnamon. Aside from a slightly cooling effect I had no such issues with this formula. I might be a sadist because I honestly don’t mind the pain from products like DuWop Lip Venom but I realize they can prove very irritating to some people. Those sensitive types should feel find with this formula as there is no pain in the least.
For me the promise of plumper, smoother lips wasn’t what grabbed my attention. I was all about the shine factor. I loved the idea of a pigmented liquid lipstick that was shiny for once and not matte. And that is in fact where this formula excels.
