I’ve always had a weird fascination with those personalized name tchotckes — like the little license plates, key chains, bottle openers and refrigerator magnets you always see at the airport on display in front of the periodicles stores.
I don’t know why, but I just love those little things, and the spinning kiosks, too. You twirl them around, looking for your name, and then voila! — there it is! Hopefully.
I’ve always gotten a big kick out of that… 🙂
Imagine my delight when I came across this new line of Full-On Lip Polish lipglosses ($19 each) from Buxom on all its spinning display glory at Sephora yesterday.
Of course I had to stop.
“For kisses that’ll keep them coming back for more, try this sheer, high-shine lip polish. It creates the look of fuller, more voluptuous lips with a refreshing tingling sensation and gentle plumping effect. Vitamins A and E help keep lips soft, supple, and protected, ensuring your smoothest moves ever.”
Each of the glosses has her own name, so you can walk up to the display, twirl it around, and look for the gloss that matches your name.
How cute is that?!
The sheer, shimmering, glistening $19 Buxom Full-On Lip Polishes have been around for a while, but the brand just recently expanded the collection up to 100 shades (!).
Yes, I did find one called Karen, and I may or may not have giggled fiendishly when I saw that she’s a sparkling pink.
Wouldn’t these make great gifts for bridesmaids, birthdays — you name it (pardon the pun)? And even if there isn’t one with your name on it, the collection is so vast, with lots of neutrals, pinks, berries, reds, plums and oranges, that you may still find one you like. (Shoot! I didn’t see one called “Tabs.”)
The Buxom Full-On Lip Polishes are available now at Sephora stores and sephora.com.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
P.S. Howdy, babe, and welcome to the hump! It’s not even 9 yet here, and already my office feels like the inside of a brick oven. I swear, I could cook a pizza on my desk.
Yup, it’s gonna be a hot one today. Shorts weather, for sure.
Ouch! — Tabs just bit my ankle. He’s been extra annoying lately, and I think it’s because of the heat. All he wants to do is play outside. Every time I get up from my chair he runs to the door. I can almost hear him saying, “Put on my damned leash, woman, and take me outside!”
If he had his way he’d spend every minute outside stalking lizards, hunting finches and napping in the sunshine (and being tracked by hungry coyotes).
Sigh! Cat mom guilt… Sorry, tabby baby, you’re an indoor kitty now.
Anyway, friend, have a nice day.
So… Looked up my name, and its a deep mulberry. Perfect. Also my best friend is getting married (though she spells her name Cassondra and not Cassandra) BUT I know what I’m getting her for her bridal shower 😉
I love Buxom products and the fact they have 100 real-people names is so much fun. The downside is that my parents chose one ‘l’ in my name so I’ll never have one spelled right 🙁
I’ve always loved these things and I don’t know why since they never have my name…I hope a cosmetics company in Japan does this one day…
Thats so cool! and how have they managed 100 different shades!
Oh wow, so cool! 😀 I wonder what they got for Melissa… I hope it’s coral!
OMG, I’m a sucker for stuff with my name on it, and it looks like they even spelled Allison correctly, lol! I’ve gotta go see what shade it is!
I didn’t see my name, boo!
I like Buxom glosses as they are quite minty and refreshing but they are also quite thick and sticky which I don’t prefer. I think it’s cute how many names,colors, and styles there are! Like usual probably won’t find my name;/ hehe

Really? They have Kanani, but not Nadia? They never put Nadia on anything name related. Oh well 🙁
These look fun! I’ll have to check them out next time I’m at Sephora. Of course, I don’t think they will have one with my name. 🙂 When I was a kid, it always bummed me out when I couldn’t find a trinket with my name.
I hear ya on the cat mom guilt. Unfortunately, our yard is a muddy mess so it’s difficult to even take Mingy on a walk. In my dream house, I’d have a giant outdoor cat enclosure connected to the house so the cats could come and go as they please!
This is such a cool idea. And wow, that’s a lot of shades!
I didn’t expect to see my name, but my middle name is there! Katherine with K is way cooler than C, haha (JK!) Knowing myself, I’ll probably pick it up because I can never have enough lipgloss.
If only there was one with my name on it.
Sadly, Sylirael was not on the list, for some reason 😛 my alter ego name was, although not really a colour I’d gravitate to…
I love the idea, though. I just wish they weren’t plumping. Plumping things always do the strangest stuff to my lips, like only plump the very outer edge (not a good look ,LOL!)
I’m not a gloss girl, and there’s no Chelsea, but I’d probably pick up “Bunny” if I was into gloss, LOL.
Halfway through the week and I’m already exhausted, going to bed early tonight (especially since a certain pet kitty thinks it’s appropriate to wake me up almost an hour before my alarm)
Ah Karen — is Tabs an indoor cat now because of coyotes?
Thanks for sharing — but I think this collection is a pass for me. It’s not what I’d like to pay for lipgloss and I’m not really a fan of the cartoons. Just my preference 🙂
I’m sorry, but allow me the mini-rant — in any of the cartoons, are the women being professional, adventurous, strong, creative, or athletic? And what are the chances of me liking the one or two colors with a descent cartoon?
Yes, I’m a make-up wearing and make-up buying woman. It seems that some companies like the advertise mostly through sex, and I’m going to keep not buying such products until companies (hopefully) get the message.
I don’t mean to be rude, but the line is called “Buxom,” so it wouldn’t make sense to have cartoons of athletes, businesswomen, etc. They showed ‘buxom’ women in lingerie, which is appropriate given the brand.
I also don’t know why women owning their sexuality can’t be empowering as well.
These sound great! And luckily there’s a Sephora opening up in my hood tomorrow!!
LOL this is so cute! I know I wouldn’t find my name but I love the idea anyway. I wonder what color my middle name might be!
Maybe they have my name..Cindy! I’ll have to go and check it out
Cindy’s Little Black Book
Goossh.. thats so cool.. to get a lippie of your name!! 😀
Ohhhh they have Alyssa! And it’s a pretty color! 😀 So happy! They also have Brandi and Cassandra, my cousins/besties. The Brandi shade is very vampy which is so fitting for her. I’m very jealous of all the reds especially Taylor. So pretty!
