Well, I think we can all agree that if there was an award for Best Lip Gloss Packaging (and really, why isn't there?) that this year, it would go to Tarte's new Maracuja Divine Shine Lip Glosses. Seriously, are they not the cutest things? The floral wrap around the lip gloss pens just makes me so happy. I have a ton of lip gloss (like, way more than any normal girl should probably ever possess) and I think these might be my favorite wands of all time. Just pulling them out of my purse makes me happy in a way it normally takes cupcakes to do. The glosses are new for spring and come in ten shades, everything from a light pink to a dark red. I tried out four of the shades - Blushing Bride (a plummy rose), Flush (a ripe berry), Tipsy (a coral) and Glisten (a peachy nude). It takes about 100 clicks (and that's a conservative estimate!) to get the gloss to first start coming out, but once you do that, getting out any future color only takes a click or two. The color flows onto a synthetic brush - it's not my favorite brush for glosses, but they work fine, so I can't complain about them. The glosses aren't overly sticky (a plus!) and I adore the minty taste to them. The color lasts about three hours or so on me after application (about average for gloss on me) and they're not drying at all. Well worth the money, especially Flush and Blushing Bride, my favorites of the ones I tried. Now, Tarte, can you start making other makeup that comes in this fun floral packaging? Because it would make me very happy at 8am when I'm trying to make my overtired self look cute to use it. I even have some ideas if you want them. Call me!
