- The packaging is Buxom's gorgeous hourglass shaped tube, in a sleek, shiny black (I do wish the window showing the shade were a little bigger, as you can't always tell the shades apart at one glance)
- It comes in 20 vibrant, highly pigmented shades
- The formula contains Buxom's innovative plumping ingredients, and claims to deliver intense color, good staying power, with an easy application that doesn't bleed thanks to the curved applicator
The swatches
- Lasting power: A+ (while the shine itself wears off fairly fast, the formula turns into a very pretty soft-cream matte lipstick that easily lasts several hours, including a meal and a coffee)
- Shine: A- (the formula is shiny, but not glossy at all, and I find that the shine wears off - but it doesn't become dull at all)
- Applicator: A+ (I was so scared to use these without a liner, and it turns out you don't even need one! they are so easy to apply and don't bleed at all)
- Formula: A+ (soooo comfortable! I tend to be uncomfortable when wearing lipstick because I can "feel" it - and I couldn't feel these at all. I literally applied it and forgot I was wearing it. It's not drying, not sticky, simply amazing)
- Shade selection: A (There are a lot of amazing vibrant, bright shades, but I want more nudes, what can I say!)
The Va-Va-Plump lipsticks are available at Sephora and retail for $24 CAD or $20 USD.
