No, I never found glossimers drying, but these are more moisturizing. As far as plumping effects nothing jumped out at me but I didn't really look to evaluate that either because I forgot they said that. They're very comfortable on, and the scent is like the Rouge Coco lipsticks but much less, hardly noticeable.
Edit: I have a few others now, mostly more sheer ones with shimmer, very reminiscent of glossimers in terms of how they look. The lip swatches on Chanel.com are ridiculously inaccurate. Go by the tube colors they show if you can't check them out in person.
