Tarte Maracuja Divine Shine Lip Gloss Reviews

Cute
Normally I'm not the biggest fan of Tarte. Although I do love the 12-hour Amazonian Clay Blushes, nearly all the other products are misses for me. I do admire what Tarte tries to accomplish by creating a vegan, animal-friendly, and natural line of cosmetics--they just don't work for me. I tried on a little bit of "Tipsy"--if you notice that these glosses are named after their blushes in the corresponding colors. I'm on the hunt for a pretty coral gloss or lipstick that works for my heavily pigmented lips. I was disappointed with the color. Although people with less-pigmented lips will have better color payoff with this, I just didn't like that the coral literally disappeared on my lips. Most glosses with pigment will still show up on my lips. Tipsy is supposed to be a bright coral and it basically looks like a super sheer soft pink on my lips; so I do with that the color payoff was a little better. This gloss does feel a little heavier as well, but it smoothes over lines on your lips. However, it does not feel sticky which is good (why pay lots of money for a sticky gloss anymore??). It has a bit of a candy cane scent to it which personally I'm not a huge fan of, but it disappears after a few minutes. Also, there's a slight cooling tingle to this. NOT as extreme as the Buxom Big and Healthy lip glosses, but much more subtle. This does have decent staying power. I put this on and I talked constantly for an hour and that's when it wore off. So if you can talk and lick your lips a lot like I do and your gloss stays on during that time, I'd say it has decent staying power. This also ditches the traditional dipping stick that most glosses have. There is a built in brush that you push the button on the other end to push up the product. Although the packaging is cute with it's flowers, it's actually quite the big and bulky lip gloss that isn't going to fit into pockets or small purses very well. There are definitely a few things that I would change about this gloss, but it's not bad considering of my past history of disappointment with Tarte. — 1 year, 2 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 2 people said helpful

Uneven
I got a sample of this with an order. I love the graphics on the tube! The gloss applies with a brush and dispenses with a click top (think clicker on a pen). It applies well, but is a bit sticky. The color was not very pigmented, which may be good because it did not apply evenly. It has a minty smell and taste which may mask your breath a bit, but eventually irritates my lips. I like the regular Tarte gloss formula with the doe foot applicator much better. Especially for the price, it was a big disappointment, considering they already developed good glosses. Why put out an inferior product? — 7 months, 2 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 3 people said helpful

My hair loves it!
When I wear this gloss, my hair always jumps to my lips and sticks! It is stickier that I prefer and I think tarte has made far better glosses in the past. The colors are beautiful. The pen click style dispenser is fun, but gets old. You do have to click it about 20-50 times before the product starts to come out at first. I'm not a fan of click brush applicators for gloss. It's far too expensive also. I got mine in a kit and saved some money. The packaging reminds me of when I was a kid and avon sold the little sponge tipped perfumes in the kids section. It's very childish looking. I think they could have done a less childlike flower motif. tarte seems to be changing a lot of their products, getting rid of some old, good ones and replacing them with not all great ones. This is one of the not so great items. This is not something I will repurchase. There are far better glosses out there that my hair stays out of. — 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 3 people said helpful
