Tarte Birthday Suit Tarteist Creamy Matte Lip Paint

These days Tarte Cosmetics is so much in beauty talks because of their new Magical wands brush set. But Tarte has always been my personal favourite since the time I have used their first product. I have tried both, their skincare and makeup range and let me tell you each and every product is on point. This time i am reviewing their Creamy Matte Lip Paint in shade Birthday Suit.

Tarte unfortunately isn’t directly available in Europe as well as India. Hence, for my beauties in Europe and India, Tarte offers international shipping. Yayyy!!

This lip paint comes in a regular transparent lip gloss tube with black twist closure. Product description with all information is printed in glossy golden color on the tube itself and it looks sober and sturdy. I find it very travel friendly and easy to carry in small purse or clutch. Its regular duo foot applicator is very flexible and gives you smooth precise application.

While I was browsing Sephora’s website to find a perfect nude shade for my skin tone and complexion (fair to medium), I came across Tartiest Creamy Matte Lip Paint. Tarte offers huge spectrum of colours for these lip paints and I almost wanted to buy all, but coming back to point I wanted nude shade, so I read few reviews about the same and purchased this shade “Birthday Suit”.

It is a cool nude shade and is very pigmented, literally single stroke and you are good to go. Applicator is super soft and flexible and it has a hint of peppermint in it. I can feel a tingling sensation on my lips for few minutes after application and it smells amazinggg!!

It does oxidise and become a shade darker after application. What I did not like about this is, It is not transfer proof and transfers even if you sip water. I bought this in neutral shade so it does not makes a huge difference. But given any other colour it will fade away from centre for sure. Also it does not set on lips.

And If by any chance you happen to wipe your face, it will come off and ruin your makeup. Tarte could have make this formula a little better in terms of staying and it would have been a bang on product. It comes in so many shades but formulation makes me think twice before buying other colours.

Sephora Contour Inner Rim Gel Eyeliner Pencil

Contouring is one of the most raved about beauty trends in the world in recent times. Every beauty blogger is talking about it and all the beauty brands are coming up with new innovative contouring products.

Contouring is when you use a matte powder, cream, or pencil product that’s two shades darker than your skin tone to shade areas you’d like to define or reshape, like your nose, forehead, chin, and cheekbones, but it is not limited to these areas. You can contour your eyes as well. Yes! I found this gel eyeliner contour pencil at Sephora which specifically formulated for the inner rim of the eye to give you bright awaken eyes.

Price- $8

Product Description

This long-wearing, waterproof formula stays in place for hours. Unlike kohl liners or traditional eyeliner pencils, it is specifically formulated with the waterline in mind. The creamy, waterproof gel formulation glides on with ease and sets within seconds for a look that stays put—with no running, smudging, flaking, or fading.

Packaging

This eyeliner comes in a retractable pencil form which is very comfortable to use. Cap and bottom twister bears the actual shade of the pencil which makes it easy to identify.

My Experience

Back in 2015, when white eyeliners were known for giving your. eyes bright and awaken look making them appear bigger as well, i too fall for it and bought White eyeliner from Lakme. But i wasn’t really delighted to have it, rather than making my eyes appear what it claimed it made me look weird, maybe sick and also it was chunky on my waterline so sadly i never used it afterwards, but was always in a search for good eyeliner pencil which would take place for my black kohl pencils.

Browsing Sephora, i found this pencil and it was formulated specifically for inner rim. I bought it in shade wide eyed 03 and believe you me i am happy with my purchase. Whenever i have to just put on liner and not kohl i use this nude colour pencil and it instantly make my eyes look bigger and brighter. It stays on for 5-6 hours and it is good for daily wear. It comes with a sharpener at the bottom which is very innovative to give you precise inner line. It is not chunky or flaky and glides on smoothy on your waterline. Pigmentation is not over the top, it is average, but since i had to use it on my waterline and its nude so it works for me.

I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is searching for a nude eye pencil.
