Moxie Plumping Lip Gloss in Rich Plum - Wow, it's perfect, the color is rich but yet translucent and rich, these glosses are good because they stay on without bleeding and are very long lasting, this is yet my favorite shade. 

I first got this as a mini in bareMinerals' 2017 advent calendar. I used that up and loved it so much that I repurchased 2 recently. Both in the colour rebel.I find the formula to be comfortable, moisturising, not overly sticky, long-lasting and easy to wear. My only gripe is that it's available only online which makes it hard to buy other colours as you can't swatch and test them before purchase.As for the pleasant side effect, the peppermint oil in the product used provide the plumping effect actually works well for me a mild appetite suppressant for when I'm not truly hungry. I've been finding it helpful with keeping me on track and helping me avoiding snacking on junk food. 

Sadly this is not a repackaged Marvelous Moxie lip gloss. It's less pigmented, less minty, and more tingly (milder but similar to the Buxom gloss). Unfortunately that tingle makes my lips burn, and the redness is emphasized by the lack of pigment. Sheer, vibrant colors were one of the best things about Marvelous Moxie, and the new Moxie colors leave a lot to be desired. Also beware that some shades have chunky glitter, it feels like there's sand in your lip gloss. The glitter colors are gorgeous in the package, but on the lips they looked more suited for high school. Head Turner and Night Owl were colorless on my lips, making it hard to justify the pricepoint. Crowd Surfer was a pretty peach, but the glitter texture and burning sensation were distracting enough to return it. I love Bare Minerals, but this one missed the mark - and that's incredibly disappointing because Marvelous Moxie glosses are my favorite of all time. I stocked up on the old formula in-store before they're gone. Less

I have been using this gloss every day since it first came out. And since then, I have NEVER had to purchase any chap sticks or lip balms. Not one. I live in a desert, and I was always reaching for lip balms, all day every day. Now, I only ever get chapped lips when I get a head cold, so I make sure to apply this before bed, and problem solved.I've tried many colors, but I always come back to Rebel. The colors may not have a lot of staying power, but if I re-apply, it's only for color. My lips stay comfortably hydrated all day with one application in the AM.I think the plumping effect is pretty minimal, too, but my lips love it and nothing else even comes close. 

I absolutely love this gloss. I've been using this in a different color for a few years, but I can't find that color anymore, so I figured I'd try this one. It's not an opaque gold, more of a sheer glittering gold, which works well over other lip colors, or by itself, which is how I prefer it. It's never sticky and it has great staying power so I'm not constantly reapplying.
