This was not a good product! The lip stain dries out and then leaves a residue on the inner line of my lips.
I find it's very pigmented and although I love the colours - it doesn't work.

I love the tarte rise and shine lip stain in pink. it smells really good like vanilla! it goes on nice and smooth and its a nice gloss that plumps your lips as well!

First of all, a big thanks to the reviews here. I was looking for a lip stain - I had tried Benefit's (Benetint) and while I loved the look and staying power of the product, it had left my lips dry. The review of Tarte made me think this would be a good choice. And it is!

Although the staying power of the tint isn't as awesome as Benefit's, it's still quite good. And best of all, it feels natural and doesn't dry out my lips.

I chose the "nectar" color and it's a pretty natural pink tone.

I am a big fan of this product. It's a lip stain on one end and a gloss at the other. The stain, unlike others I've tried, does not dry out your lips too much and it spreads really evenly. I find that other stains sometimes cause my lips to get really dry and flaky, and can come on a bit blotchy. This one, even if you get a little blotch, you can smooth it out. It lasts a long time.

The gloss on the other end is a really beautiful color (I have berrylicious), it isn't too sticky and there is no strong smell or taste. It has a slightly sweet flavour that doesn't bother me at all.

I got this product from my makeup artist friend, Joy (Makeup Junkie) two weeks ago and I've been using it every day since. I'll probably go for a lighter colour next time but I'm overall really impressed with this product. I would buy it again.

I love it!

The lip stain goes on very sheer, good for building up the boldness. What I love about this is the lipgloss on the other side of the wand. It adds more umph to by adding more colour, and it makes my lips feel refreshed, while making it more plump. I fell inlove with it the first time i used it. The stain can also double as a cheek stain for those who know how to use it.
