review: Tarte PureOptic long wear lipstick

I recently purchased this lip product off of tartecosmetics.com and I am very pleased with the results. I wore the lip stick for about 7 hours and I ate a full meal and the lipstick managed to stay on. I would recommend this product because it is long lasting and the color is nice, however there are only 2 shades to choose from which is a down side. Also when I first applied it the tip of the retractable lipstick fell off so I had to use more product.  The product felt sticky on the lips which usually means it is long lasting. I didn’t feel that it was moisturizing for the most part so if you’re looking for something that is moisturizing then this isn’t it.

retail: $24.00

final rating: 8-10 🙂

 

review: Tarte Complexion Enhancing Lipstick

I purchased this lipstick off of tartecosmetics.com and I was very exited to try it out because I thought that the idea of having 2 colors in one lipstick was very interesting! This is one of those lip products that claims to enhance your lip color meaning that it’s basically your lips but better! The color on the outside is a cool nude shade while the core is a deep burgundy red. When I applied the lipstick it looked kind of like a light coral mixed with a nude and it did indeed look like my lip color just a bit darker. Unfortunately I did not like the lipstick and here’s why:

 

-color faded in a few hours

-when I was applying it the 2 colors mixed unevenly

-expensive

 

However I did like the packaging and the idea of 2 different colors being combined into 1! The lipstick is moisturizing and it’s a good everyday color. Overall I don’t recommend it because it didn’t last too long and it is pricey.
