The Only Lipstick I Can Actually Tolerate All Day
My relationship with lipstick is, frankly, ridiculous. The number of tubes I own (many) is totally inconsistent with how frequently I actually wear it (almost never). Once in a while, I’ll try a new formula and wear it for a few days before ultimately growing tired of the feeling of lipstick on my lips and the need to reapply after each meal or cup of coffee.
So take me seriously, but not too seriously, when I say that I could get used to wearing Buxom Big & Sexy Bold Gel Lipstick ($22) on the regular, rather than once in a blue moon.
There are a lot of good things to be said about the new release, but what makes it a must-have for me is the impressively lightweight texture. This lipstick, which comes in matte and satin formulas, feels like nothing on my lips, which means you won’t be hyperaware that it’s on your face the entire time you’re wearing it (Just me? Cool.). It’s really moisturizing, both when you apply it and as it wears off over the course of the day—no flaky lips!—and is totally opaque in one swipe, which is perfect for anyone who wants bold, unapologetic color.
For my part, I’m into Sinful Cinnamon, a deep neutral shade that’s super wearable but still alludes to the very ’90s brown lipstick trend that we’re seeing all over the place. It’s just one of 30 shades, meaning you’re guaranteed to find something you like among the choices. So if you, like me, find yourself collecting lipstick more than actually wearing it, give this one a try. If nothing else, it’ll make a great addition to your collection—even if the name is kind of embarrassing.
