It’s a while since I reviewed something from my recent Sephora haul so, to celebrate the fact I’ve booked my American road trip so will be able to get another soon, I thought I’d tell you about another of my purchases!
When I hit Twitter and asked fellow beauty bloggers for recommendations I was told by many that I simply had to try something from the Tarte Cosmetics. I have to admit it is a brand I didn’t know very much about and, not being a lipstick fan, I was very tempted by their lip tints.
Described as a hybrid between a stain, gloss and lip tint; Lipsurgence lip tints are also made from plant bio-nutrients, vitamins and essential oils such as peppermint and jojoba. The formula promises to stain lips with colour whilst providing moisture to keep lips hydrated and soft. So did it live up to expectations?
The packaging is simple with a twist up container similar to our Clinique Chubby Sticks. I love this as it means there is no need for a pencil sharpener that can spoil the product itself.
I chose the shade ‘moody’ which is described as a deep berry on the website.
I’d say deep berry is a pretty good description with, as you can see from the image, a touch of brown added into the mix. On the lips it is quite a dark shade and something I would expect to tint my lips for quite a while afterwards. Whilst the tint glides onto the lips easily and is really moisturising I don’t find it tints my lips much at all. I find once the gloss colour wears off, the tint does too.
Something I love though is the peppermint fragrance which also helps to plump up the lips making them appear fuller. I’d buy this product again for this and for the fact that it is like a gloss but without the ‘gloopiness’. I always think it is a good test if your hair doesn’t get stuck to your lips in a gust of wind!
The Lipsurgence lip tints currently come in 10 different shades with new ones appearing on a regular basis. Next time I’ll be looking for ‘grateful’ which looks like a rose-nude shade on the website.
Have you tried any of Tarte Cosmetics products? And what is a must-buy for my pending road trip?
This product retails at $24 and was paid for in full.

Ooooh, looks lovely! I rarely wear make-up, especially not lipstick, so something like this would probably be a good idea for me.
I always go for a gloss but get so frustrated with it sticking to my hair and making a mess, this is the perfect option. I just wish it tinted my lips after the gloss has gone.
This looks fantastic. I do love lipsticks, this one looks like a great option x
There is a great range of colours I’m looking forward to getting more when I visit Sephora again!
Ooh, I love a nicely packaged product. A deeper colour is fab for me so I may check this out…
Yes it is quite a dark berry colour so perfect if you prefer a deeper colour.
What a lovely sumptuous colour! Bet that looks divine on the lips! x
Hopefully get to meet you at Guerilla Eats later so will make sure I wear it so you can see!
This sounds really lovely, and I love how deep the colour is! It reminds me of MAC Rebel xx
Yes it is similar to MAC rebel, I hadn’t noticed that before! Certainly a different type of tint to the regular ones, I can’t wait to try some of the other colours.
Nice shade! I’ve tried the foundation from Tarte and it was really lovely. The texture was light and almost like a primer, really. For your road trip, I would highly suggest multi-use products. I know most lip and cheek products only work for either one but I’ve recently been using the Josie Maran Argan Infinity Lip and Cheek Creamy Oil. I have dry skin so it doubles as skin care for my cheeks and it just gives the loveliest flush. It’s like a tinted balm on the lips so it really works well. I’m going on a trip next week, and that baby’s def coming with me!
Oh thanks for the tip! I also picked up a Josie Maran cheek gelee that I’ll be reviewing soon but I will look out for the creamy oil, it sounds divine!
This is my go to shade for lipstick but it can look a little scary for daytime with a matt texture so I love how glossy this is and the fact my hair won’t constantly stick to it as with gloss. Can’t wait to buy this! Do you know where I can get it on the high street hon?
Love the colour, might have to check them out while I’m here!
That looks rely good. I don’t like ordinary lipstick as they dry my lips out in no time.
Thats a gorgeous colour. So jealous about your road trip! When do you go?

October, super excited! x
