tarteist™ quick dry matte lip paint

Hello lovelies,

finally I was able to sit down and made this review. I've been eyeing Tarteist since it first launch and now they have several variants and the shades are irresistible. I do have difficulties choosing one shade, to be honest, I try to get one shade that I think I don't have at home, so this is it, my first and definitely not the last of tarteist lip paint.

What it does:
Create full-coverage lip looks with a sneak preview of tarte’s lightweight, liquid-to-matte lip paint. It dries down instantly without transferring, and its Comfortflex formula means it moves with your lips without drying out, cracking, or feathering. With its easy applicator wand, it’s easy to line and shade in lips with high-impact, opaque matte color in the natural-looking, Bestie shade—a deep nude hue.

What it is formulated WITHOUT:
- Parabens
- Phthalates

• Use a lip scrub to prep & condition lips prior to each application.


• Use the lip paint precision wand to trace on longwearing matte color. First, use the tip to contour lips by tracing along the upper & lower lip line. Then, shade inside the lip line using the applicator surface.


• The quick dry formula will set in seconds & adhere to lips all day.

-Concentrated Mineral Pigments: Deliver rich, lip-soothing pigment while nourishing and softening skin.

I'm using it since the first day I bought it and fell in love with the quality, texture and feeling when used. It was very comfortable, no sharp nor annoying scent like from other liquid matte lipstick, no taut nor very drying effect, it's like my utmost favorite liquid matte lippies and I can't never go back.

Other product seems like nothing now, the richness of the color and opacity from the first swipe of application, it's surreal. It covers everything it went through and still very comfortable when layered, it's weird how something that feels so light could be so fulfilling and satisfying.

I want more, I'll collect more shade soon, meanwhile, I'm testing the product from around 1 PM to until 8.30 PM and yes, it went through tea and dinner time.

-*-

I went to an event, have a drink and eats, it is still there. I do bring mine for 'just in case touch up' and never need to do so. Not even once.

I feel so confident and relaxed thanks to tarteist quick dry matte lip paint who is literally like my bestie that got my back lips. The shade that I'm using is bestie, and it is a bestie indeed.

-*-

A scrub and pre moisturized for the chapped lips is indeed needed, if not the surface won't be smooth. Tarteist lip paint is not drying but it just a liquid lipstick that covers the surface according to what it is, if ones want a perfectly flawless application do exfoliate first.

One surprising thing I found is that even thou' the product is so tough and last all day long, cleaning wise is not a problem, just use any waterproof makeup remover and they'll gone without a trace. Ive tried many brand of cleanser and all of them works like a charm, no stain no difficulties whatsoever. I don't need multiple swipe nor products to clean the lips, it's just done conveniently.

-*-

Overall,

I don't think I ever find any product this good. It's completely transfer-proof, it's water-proof, stays all day without reducing, fading nor breaks, it stays just as it is and when I eat, they don't cracked nor made this disgusting leftover patches of lipstick and bare lips. I do try to eat gently, especially on oily stuff, but not really making an effort, the lips stay gorgeous. On the other hand other products fails miserably on this step, all of them do.

I don't have oily skin, but I do drink a lot and eats too, so normally, I need to retouch a few times, not with tarteist quick dry matte lip paint, it stays remarkably up to par. I highly recommend the product for anyone who want to finally find that perfect formula of liquid matte lipstick that dries almost instantly and stays.

These are the products, two in one set, a stick duo for that smokey shadow. A smooth sailing formula in twist-able container for a crayon like feeling but softer and silkier.

-*-




All the details are provided on the packaging and what do I love about Tarte Cosmetics is that they never put paraben, mineral oil, phthalates, sodium lauryl sulphate, triclosan nor gluten.

-*-

These are the swatches and how they are after being blended on the skin. As seen, powdery and velvety. We can opt for a bolder look and softer one, bolder by applying the product with a soft blending and a finer finish with a thorough blend.

-*-

I love using them bold during events and soft for daily look. The finish is smooth and the staying power is just amazing, it works a lot better that most powder formula. When used bold and just waiting for them to set, they'll set for the entire day on me, even on my greasy lids. Love it to the max!!!

-*-

A great product from Tarte Cosmetics that deliver result without fail, doesn't contain dangerous ingredients hence using them on the eyes are pure pleasure, no irritation whatsoever. Have you ever experience redness, itchy nor other discomfort on your eyes after using eye makeup, that's because some of the ingredients perhaps are not made carefully for the sensitive eyes. Tarte Cosmetics put a lot of efforts in making sure only the safest ingredients for our skin and eyes too.

Amazing!!

Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour Blush in Adored

Hello lovelies,

this is my favorite blush at the moment, it's a Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Adored.

Details from http://tartecosmetics.com

A long-wearing, supremely soft blush infused with Amazonian clay harvested from the banks of the Amazon River and naturally baked by the sun.

Product Performance: This 12-hour blush universally benefits all skin types for a fade-free, flawless finish in shades ranging from soft to vivid and matte to shimmer to suit a wide variety of skin tones.
Powered By: Amazonian clay minimizes oil in and around pores to balance skin and keep product in place while also hydrating the skin naturally to restore moisture, reducing the appearance of dry, flaky skin.

-*-

Available in many shades, Adore is one of the shade that only available on special occasions, on me it means promo in a package ^^

-*-

I always  been a big fan of tarte, it's been almost 5 years now and I still love how they pamper our skin with their wonderful ingredients, it's beyond infused skincare makeup, more like lavishly pampering us with juicy natural ingredients, start from their lip surgence to now, the Amazonian Clay Blush.

-*-

Without being timid with the color, here's me using Adored using the lightest touch. 

-*-

The color stays on me the whole day without the need to retouch. On the swatch it shown as lovely as pink could be.

-*-

With a hint of shimmer the blush is perfect for day or night use, the powder is light and a bit thick at the same time, I suggest this one to be used using a blush brush gently and gradually, never put them all at once since the color is a brazen.

Definitely one of my favorite blush.

-*-

Another look of me using the blush.

As the product is available from USA, I pre order mine from @lumiere_corner at instagram.

The lip tint feels fresh on the lips thanks to the minty peppermint, the texture is so smooth and soft on the lips, by far this is the smoothest lippie ever. It is like velvety and somehow made me feel like I'm having a guilty pleasure by using it.

I never need any lip balm or any other thing applied or even after when using Tarte LipSurgence, they are always great on their own. They make the lips feels ultra good and healthy, long wear or not they provide enough benefit for the lips. 

-*-

The hot pink color in matte is just a perfect combination, I look and feel great without fail,

On certain lights the lips may look redder while on brighter days they look more pink than usual.

A must have collection of matte lipstick without sacrificing any comfort, look and of course, the lips itself.

Got mine from @Lumiere_Corner (instagram).

Tarte Natural Cheek Stain in True Love

Hello gorgeous!

Who loves a fresh blushed cheeks? I am!

For me a cheek should always show love or being in love. Rose, peachy, red, or plain pinched.





Details from tartecosmetics.com:




True love is sheer watermelon, juicy, delicious, ripe watermelon and safe for use too.

The smell is wonderful, berrylicious. Look at the bright red color, I'm so into it. From Tarte, the cheek stain comes in 9 shades, from the pinkest pink to the deepest plum.

Enough talk, now let's see some pictures!!

No.1 is my before look, plain, nothing there.

2. I use the cheek stain on my right side only

3. I blend it in, still on my right cheek only

4. The finished look where the stain is used on both side.

.

I thought it was going to be bold, it's so not, the shade are easily blending into the cheeks, creating a very cute blushes and looks so natural too.

I love all the natural ingredients in it and I can see my self using it every day for that cheeky blush =^__^=  But as natural as it is, the color doesn't did last long enough, I think it's around 5 hours before I need to retouch. I can also create a bolder blush by keep adding the stain, and it's a good thing they are more on the cheeks compared to other stain, which is on the fingers.

Cleaning it also so easy, just use any facial wash, cleansing milk or cleansing oil for an overall makeup cleansing.

Overall: It's a wonderful cheek stain with more benefits to the skin. Easy to use and easy to loved.

My First Tarte is a Power Couple

I've been wanting to try on Tarte for a very long time (yes, months is considered a very long time) since Blair talking about it on one of her vlog. Actually she was talking about eye makeup but when I'm opening their website these two stuff really caught me off guard. No lar, I always have a thing for blush on, lip and cheek stain and lippy. 

So I ask a help from a friend in the state to get me one. Power Couple for US$ 44. And finally they have arrived. But today I'm going to share with you just one of the product, LipSurgence. Why? I still have gazillion of blusher that I haven't finished, seriously a lot, well I have a lot of lippy too but I just can't help it to try one.

I have LipSurgence in Charmed, this is the details from tartecosmetics.com regarding LipSurgence (yes, copy paste from the site):

As a follow up to tarte's best-selling LipSurgence™ natural lip tints, these shimmering lip lusters give a high dose of color and shine in an easy twist-up stick. Just like the original, tarte's LipSurgence™ technology delivers a surge of moisture on a cellular level for a naturally plumped up appearance while natural peppermint adds a refreshing burst of flavor with each application.

			skinvigorating™ ingredients
			jojoba seed oil: easily absorbed, leaving skin soft, supple and smooth
			peppermint oil: cools and soothes inflammed or irritated skin
			vitamin C: antioxidant that fights free radical damage and prevents oxidative stress and premature signs of aging, while brightening skin
			vitamin E: natural preservative that also acts as an anti-inflammatory emollient and protects against free radical damage

			skinvigorating™ benefits
			formulated without paraben formulated without phthalates cruelty free formulated without sodium lauryl sulfate formulated without synthetic fragrance

So, for me it's like wow! Who wouldn't want that?!

And here's Charmed, a light pink color that burst with moisture and mint flavor the minute it touches my lips. The moisture it brings is incredibly powerful and irresistible. My lips feels ultra moist and soft. The color is like crayon, vivid and really what it's like on the product. I'm not really a fan of a shocking pink or anything that's so bright but this time, I surrender and feel, well, charmed by it.
