I was at Sephora the other day and if you are part of their beautyinsider rewards program and have earned 100 points, then you will be offered a choice from a slew of sample products when you make a purchase. Being the lip gloss addict that I am, I immediately laid my paws on the last Buxom Big & Healthy Lip Polish sample by Bare Escentuals.

I had actually never heard of the Bare Escentuals brand before, but that was the only enticing sample available so I thought why not give it a try. I knew nothing about this product before I tried it on, so I didn’t expect my lips to experience this tingly feeling two seconds after I put on the lip gloss. It felt like I had just painted Vicks on my lips! Apparently, this product is supposed to give your lips a plumper look and I think it did the job. I’m just not sure if it was lip plumping or lip swelling because I can still feel the Vicks on my lips!!
