review - buxom gloss in 'yow'

When I was in America, I went into Sephora for the second time. I had heard quite a few YouTubers talk about the Buxom lip glosses, so when I saw the whole range sitting there, waiting for me to buy, I immediately started scanning the different shades. The one I decided on is called 'Yow'. I love that name!

Let's start with the packaging. I was drawn to the mirrored lettering when I first saw it, I think it's really quirky and unique. The ( also mirrored, and too bulky! ) lid twists off, and there's the applicator. My initial thoughts were 'whah, there's way too much product on this'. And there is! The product itself is VERY sticky, and it's a pain when the applicator pulls out a whole dollop of it when you're in the mood for a light splash of colour. 

Within the packaging, the gloss is a dark, old/dusty rose colour, with a slight shimmer to it. Confusingly, on the lips it's a lot brighter, and way pinker! It's a lovely colour, but I wish it hadn't been so misleading.. As for durability, this stuff wears off within about 3 hours for me.

Overall, for $19 ( £12 ) I don't think this is quite worth the money. It's a gorgeous colour, and I do wear it quite a lot, but I think a reasonable price for this would be £8-£10.

Have you ever tried this product? What did you think of it?
