Hello Friends
How are you doing today? I am here to share my views on a brand new Buxom purchase which was part of my mini shopping haul a while back. It is interesting to see how every low-end and high-end brand is launching these liquid lipsticks which seem ‘ultimate hit’. I always look forward to try Buxom products as they give quality at affordable price if not cheaper. However, I am not very impressed by their liquid lipstick though I totally love all bright summery shades in this range. Let’s read more about Buxom Moonlighter Wildly Whipped Lightweight Liquid Lipstick.

My Experience with Buxom Moonlighter Wildly Whipped Lightweight Liquid Lipstick:

The liquid lipstick comes in chubby red and black shaded tube packaging with sponge applicator. I own two of these shades and they both look identical in packaging and fragrance. Overall I like its travel-friendly packaging.

My shade “Moonlighter” is described as watermelon red which is certainly true to its description as it imparts bright watermelon red color pay off on my lips. I love how a generous swipe of this color instantly cheers up my dull complexion and mood. This is by far the best summery shade I own in my stash, honestly, as it does not make me look tanned unlike what usual pinks do to my skin tone; in fact it works as “highlighter” for my skin tone. I am sure this shade will work like charm on fair/light beauties.

However I am not very impressed with its finish and formula which seems bit messy and feathering on my lips. I mean it does have the buttery slip on lips, it never dries onto stain but maintains juicy, glossy, subtle, wet, matte finish on lips (this also means that it transfers badly to everything), yet it lacks the wow factor as per my experience. I have tried many liquid lipsticks with matte finish before (though none of them deliver true matte finish) and by far this formula seems bit tricky as compared to its closest match Tarte Tarteist lipsticks and/or Estee Lauder Liquid lip potion.

Texture wise there is hardly any difference in all these lipsticks considering its whipped buttery texture which glides easily on normal dry lips just like Tarte or Estee Lauder liquid lipsticks. Now comparing the finish, I find Buxom has subtle feathering and frequent touch up issues which was not experienced in Tarte or Estee Lauder. I personally feel the need of using lip liner with moonlighter shade because firstly it maintains translucent finish which seems tricky for pigmented lips and secondly within 2-3 hours of wear time I see subtle feathering around lip lines which is totally unacceptable for me. I like flaunting neat and well defined lip contours while this lipstick is just opposite to my expectations. Once you are habituated to flaunting well defined contoured lips, then you will certainly see the difference between wearing this lip color alone on lips.

Needless to say wearing a lip liner is a prime condition with this liquid lipstick apart from scrubbing and hydrating them well. I say so because it often fades onto lighter stain almost messing up with lip lines and might emphasize dry patches and/or lip lines further. I won’t call it drying for my lips as I feel pretty comfortable throughout wear time and even after removing it. It has optimum dewy juicy texture to let go of minor dryness; if only the staying power was bit better.

IMBB Rating: 3.5/5
I think if you really love this shade then you can give it a try provided you wear it on well scrubbed lips along with a lip liner. Considering my deep love for this watermelon red I can live with this fact but I am not going to get it again; I am hunting for its dupe though.
