I have this product in three colours - Sparkling Bubblegum, Candy Apple Red, and Dollface Pink. I like the pink shades better than the red, which goes a little orange on me. It tingles when you apply it, which I enjoy, but might not be for everyone. It stays glossy and a little sparkly and wears really well.
I love my Buxom lips. The wand is clean and easy to apply with. There's quite a lot of product which is great value for the price. I love the hint of colour and the fact that it's glossy without being full of stupid sparkles... The actual plumping is damn decent, since I never expected it to work at all. Even if it's an instance of the tingling (that lasts such a pleasant amount of time!) itself making you feel like you want to purse your lips out a bit that gives you the plumpness of lip, I say go for it.
I love my Buxom lips. I'm a big lip gloss and chap stick user, with medium to full lips. I really don't ned a lot of help in the plumping department, but I love how Buxom feels, and since I'm not big on lipstick, I use Buxom when chap isn't enough.

More the most part i think lip plumpers are more of a gimmick. Before I tried Buxom, the only other lip plumper I had tried was the DuWop Lip Venom and that had a very uncomfortable sting to it. Buxom is a brand whose lip products are known to be plumping. Their line of Big & Healthy lip creams are thick lip glosses with plumping action. Like most other lip plumpers I've tried, there is a tingling sensation when applied to the lips; however, I noticed that with the Buxom Big & Healthy lip cream, the tingling lasts WAY longer than any other lip plumper I've tried - I'm talking like 2 to 3 hours of tingling. Basically, until the gloss wore off my lips, I felt the tingling. I did notice a little bit of plumping action to my lips, but for the most part I just felt it. As an actual gloss, I really love the colours and texture of the big & healthy lip creams. The current one I own is in the shade "White Russian" which is a creamy, pinky-nude. The formula of these is quite sticky and opaque, which based on personal preference, could either make you love or hate this product. I personally love the opaque creaminess of the Buxom Big & Healthy lip cream. This is actually the only range of lip plumpers/glosses I've tried from Buxom so I don't know how other ones fair.
I purchased this product to use as a gloss, not as a lip plumper. I think the plumping action of most lip plumpers is either a) short lived or b) makes your lips feel uncomfortable or c) doesn't work at all. I think there is a little of all 3 in terms of the Buxom Big & Healthy lip creams but I do like it as a gloss.
