Tarte | Kiss & Belle LipSurgence Kit

Christmas came early this year! Went to Sephora to shop for a birthday present for a friend and stumbled upon this.

I picked it up to take a look and when I was about to put it back down, the lady working in Sephora said, "This one is very nice! All the colours are limited edition".

So I had to.

I just had to.

Not only because it's limited edition but because the colours are all so gorgeous. I played with the testers for a bit and my my. I had to get them for myself.

Ripped this picture off Tarte's website because I couldn't get a good picture of it in the box due to the reflection and all. So yeah.

You'll find 4 deluxe LipSurgence lip tints, 2 matte lip tints and 2 lip glosses. I am very surprised at how pigmented and hydrating these lip tints are! Do bear in mind that all these lip tints have an orangey, peachy tone to them.

They are pretty short. In the photo shown above, that's how long (short) it is. It's okay for me because I never get the chance to finish a full sized lip product before the expiry. One downside though, you see how the tip is like... sharpened? What happens when you use the heck out of it? 'Cause there isn't any sharpener in the set.

Twist the bottom part of the lip tint to get it in and out

These are the 4 lip tints

Dainty (pink), innocent (warm nude), dreamy (cool raspberry) and alluring (mauve).

Love them to the max. They have this slight minty scent to them and upon application there will be a slight minty feeling as well. It is so hydrating though! And so smooth to apply. Also, surprisingly very pigmented for a lip tint. I am truly amazed. There will be swatches below, later.

2 matte lip tints

Eternal (pink nude) and fancy (plum berry)

I can never wear matte lips anything because I have pretty dry lips. The NYX matte lipsticks is a big fat no no for me. Not even with the most hydrating lip balm, I cannot rock them. But these. They're pretty dang awesome! Of course, the application will not be as smooth as the lip tints you'll find in this set. The application of these matte lip tints are pretty rough but it does not enhance dry lips that much. I have worn the eternal shade which is a pinky nude one several times. Love it! Have not got the chance to wear the shade in fancy yet.

I forgot to take photos of the lip glosses separately but from the second picture in the beginning of the post you can see that the caps for the lip glosses are different. There are floral prints on them instead of just stripes. SO PRETTY. And the lip glosses are super pigmented! Pretty tacky though but really good! The shades are kiss (light pink) and belle (raspberry). The shade kiss is a light pink colour with shimmers in it. It's quite pretty. Although the shade belle is a lot prettier. Super pigmented super glossy super beautiful. You can just wear it on its own because it's that pigmented!

Swatches of all the shades from left to right:

Lip tints

Dainty (pink), Innocent (warm nude), Dreamy (cool raspberry), Alluring (mauve)

Matte lip tints:

Eternal (pink nude), Fancy (plum berry)

Lip glosses:

Kiss (light pink), Belle (raspberry)

Here one of the colours on my lips. This is the shade Dainty. Despite how light the colour should be, it does show on the lips. And my lips are pretty dark.

I've had this set for quite some time already. Been slacking. More posts coming up! See you in the next post, beautifuls.
