New for 2017,
Buxom is "cracking the code to undercover lip color" with the
Plumplin Lip Liner ($20 CAD) collection. With a chubby design that allows easy lining, shaping, and filling, the lip liner is available in 20 plumping shades. I rarely use lip liners but I have been really enjoying the superb pigmentation and wear of these guys. To read my review and see some swatches, click......
Packaging:
The Buxom Plumpline Lip Liners are very fat pencil crayons with a built-in lip brush on the bottom end. The pencil width isn't quite as thick as the standard lip crayon so I actually don't have the correctly sized pencil sharpener for these. I am not very into creating ombre lip effects or the contoured lip look so the smudging lip brush isn't very useful for me. With that said, I do appreciate its inclusion because I can use it to apply lipsticks and other lip products.
Formulation:
With a soft and rich but not overly creamy texture, the Buxom Plumpline Lip Liners are pigmented and full coverage. Because the lip liners have a pretty fat lead, these can be used to easily fill in the entire lip. The finish is matte and while the formulation isn't extremely drying like most lip liners, it's also not very moisturizing. With that said, they can definitely be worn on their own as a long-lasting matte lip color.
Buxom advertises the liners as a "plumping" liner because they contain the same ingredients as the brand's other plumping lip products. However, I really didn't detect any plumping effect, and that's is fine by me. Overall, these are some really great lip liners that are pigmented, easy-to-apply, and long lasting! Plus, the collection includes 20 shades so you are bound to find at least a few colors to match your favorite lipstick.
Cloak & Dagger: This is a darker red with a slight brownish tint.
Code Red: This is a bright true red that can easily be worn on its own.
Restricted: A muted peachy red, Restricted is very unique and flattering.
Scandalous: This is a super bright warm hot pink. The color is very pigmented and this is another shade that can be easily worn on its own.
Dolly Danger: A pretty rose nude, the color is super flattering and very on trend with the wearable nude lips look.
Hush Hush: Neutral beige nude with a nice and full coverage.
Availability:
Buxom is available in stores and
online at Sephora.
