I want to do a review on something I recently fell in LOVE with!
Tarte's LipSurgence Lip Tint in Joy:
Mine is in the color Joy and it was $24.00 plus tax at Sephora. You can also buy them at Tartecosmetics.com or other places like Ulta and so on. It has a "screw" like thing at the bottom, I can't think of the name right now. You twist it and you know it comes up.. like chapsticks! I love the packaging it has little glittery shiny specks around the tube.
Oh my gosh! Anyway, I bought the product last summer simply because I love lip stains. I find that they are the most.. what's the word.. practical and easy to carry and apply and simply work with. Since Life gets so busy and overwhelmed, personally I start off the semester by applying makeup, doing my hair, and coordinating my outfits. As the semester kicks off and I have my first round of exams you best believe the whole "beauty" aspect has been definitely thrown out the window. Seriously? I would much rather sleep and extra 45 minutes than get up and rush putting something together to look "nice" at freaken 7:45 in the morning. Whoever does this, kudos because it's difficult! Anyway, I'd rather sleep, I mean I try and look at least half decent in the mornings but I'm not gonna "doll" myself up to walk into a Bio lab and you know work with bacteria or do a dissection. No sir, I want to really dig into my lab and not care about my lipstick or mascara and sure as hell not my outfits. Therefore, before I start school I invest time, effort, and of course money, into finding long lasting makeup products. One of them being Tarte's LipSurgence Lip Tints. Okay, so I'm REALLY into coral and orangey colors. i think they work best with my skin for spring and summer, when fall and winter kicks in I am all about the dark plums, berries, and reds.. but that's another story.

REVIEW:
When I first got the lip tint, I liked it. Tarte claims that it's a hybrid between a stain, a balm, and a gloss. They also say that it's nondrying, so it moisturizes your lips and keeps them hydrated as well as providing a sheer color but also staining. Magnificent! I have tried several other lip stains and HATED them because they left my lips so dry.. and yes I understand a lip stain will do this but there is a limit.This lip stain is pretty moisturizing to an extent and I don't think it's sticky or tacky at all. It will be if you apply loads but it's not bad at all. I bought my Lip stain in the color Joy, the packaging on mine was ORANGE and I thought to myself.. Okay I want a coral not a bright orange that's too bold for me. But I still took it home and tried it out, and okay I liked it, it was alright it was sheer, smelled nice, and stained my lips a bit, and most of all didn't dry them out too much. Later because it didn't stain much I started to not love it so much. Recently I rediscovered it in my makeup collection and I honestly discovered what love for it in. I was wearing a red/pink shirt so I decided to throw on that lip stain and I applied.. A LOT. To truly get that orange/coral color. So my surprise when it wore off I had the freaken PRETTIEST stain on my lips EVER! It was a cross between some orangey, corally, hot pinky color. I Loved it! I apply it at 8 AM in the morning, a thick layer of it by the time I'm out the door to do my daily activities most of it has been absorbed by my lips and by 3 PM, so 7 hours later, I still have some of that beautiful pinky, red, orangey color. I'm excited you best believe this will be my go to color from now on. I just love that I can throw on some concealer and this lip stain and be what I like to call "decent."I will DEFINITELY be purchasing different colors! Anyway, I'll post some pictures down below. I know I write a lot feel free to skip ahead.. and of course just to clear things up I truly and honestly love this product. If I hated it I would also say it. There is nothing I hate about the product except maybe that it breaks off easily.
My lip color: ( I put this because a lot of the time I feel sometimes this changes how lip colors look on people according to their lip color. Is it just me?) Anyway here are the I suppose swatches on my lips.
