Tarteist Lip Paint

This is the new Tarte Tarteist Lip Paint in Namaste, that just recently released. This shade is pretty popular right now cause it's a good pinky-nude. There are 14 shades all together that range from purples, nudes, mauves, berry, and orange. It's $20 for .20 ounces at Sephora and Ulta as well. It's also available in a lip set at Sephora "Give Me Some Nude Lip". It's available as a promo right online at Sephora right now with code "Bold Lip" both being deluxe samples.

As far as formula goes, it has a menthol/vanilla scent and mousse like texture. It goes on soft and it doesn't completely dry like most liquid lipsticks. Because of that, it also doesn't crack and crumble like very "liquid-y" liquid lipsticks. I really love that. I do find that it's a bit patchy sometimes when I apply it, not terribly bad but I have to build it up in certain areas. Also because it doesn't dry completely it does transfer some. It also seems to oxidize or at the very least stain my lips when it's off. 

I will say though that as a lipcolor, and formula, I still like it since it's very neutral. I don't know if I would like the bolder colors though because it does transfer. The texture is very similar to Ofra Cosmetics, but I like Ofra better because it doesn't seem to transfer and it's less expensive and better application. This is a great color though, it's a "go to" color when nothing else stands out or to take with you on the go or a trip. It's packaging is no where near as big and long as ABH or KVD and I like that because it fits into smaller pockets and cosmetic bags.

Other brands of liquid lipsticks and prices are as follows:

• Kat Von D Liquid Lipstick .22 oz for $20, 29 colors.
• Anastasia Beverly Hills .11 oz for $20, 6 colors on Sephora, 19 colors on ABH Website.
• Stila Cosmetics .10 oz for $24, 20 colors on Sephora
• Ofra Cosmetics 8g (.28oz roughly) for $19.90 (code Kathleen30 for 30% off the price of $19.90), 41 colors on Ofra Website.

So this is a pretty standard price, there are several as you can see that have half the amount and are the same price or more, but you do have a few of those who have more product for the same price or less.
