Product Review: Tarte Glamazon Pure Performance 12-hour Lipsticks

I had seen a lot of hype about these lipsticks and when they rolled out a 30% coupon I had to snag a couple up. I saw someone wearing this gorgeous purple lipstick and she said it was a Tarte glamazon lipstick in the shade playful. I went ahead and snatched up their blue based red as well because I love blue based reds and there was a coupon code so why not?

On the Tarte website they claim that these lipsticks are their very first long-wear, clay-infused lipstick. A unique blend of emollient-rich butters (mango, avocado and shea) is encapsulated in this tarte12-hour power™ formula to achieve rich, vivid, and long-wearing color that applies smoothly and won’t fade away.

I've been so into avocado oils and all of that jazz so when I saw that these little guys had avocado butter I was even more excited. One of the best things about ordering online from Tarte is that their turn around time and shipping are very fast. I always choose the cheapest form of shipping and I still received my package in under a week which was freaking amazing.

 The first one that I am going to tell you about is the above mentioned playful. The Tarte website describes it as a purple rose and I think that is a great description. I also think that is the main reason why I love this color so much. I have really pigmented lips and I don't feel that most light rose shades mesh well with my skin tone but this color looks and feels so amazing.

 These lipsticks go on so creamy and smooth. I'm not even exaggerating you have to feel how creamy they are. I have never felt a lipstick this creamy (can I say creamy again...) in my entire life and I feel like I have been newly awakened.

 The next lipstick that I picked up is called wild and like I said earlier is it a blue based red. My holy grail red lipstick is MAC's ruby woo. I absolutely love that shade however, it can be a little drying so you have to apply a healthy coat of lip balm and I don't feel that ruby lasts all that long.

That being said, I don't know if these lipsticks really last 12 hours like they claim to but they do last a really long time--who wears lipstick for 12 hours anyway? I can give you a great example--I wore wild when I went out with my dad for his birthday lunch. We ate at a hibachi place, so we ate our fair share of courses and food. My lipstick was still perfectly intact after I was finished eating. I'm not lying either, I was just as surprised as you probably are right now.

In conclusion, I think that these lipsticks are so amazing and if and when they release more colors, I will definitely be stocking up. You can't go wrong with a creamy, long-lasting, beautiful lipstick. These would be a create addition to your lipstick collection.
