My Favorite Lipcolor

| 6 Comments

*I apologize to any of my readers (not that I have many anyway) who are male.  This post is about makeup.  Don’t worry, regular posts about non-makeup topics will resume soon…..

Okay, so, I’ve found a lipstain that I love.  I know, it seems frivolous to be discussing lipstick when there are so many more important things going on. But, having a product that you really love and works for you is a very good thing. Not to mention the fact that there are a blue-jillion lip products on the market today and yet very few actually do what they claim to do. When I throw in my crazy convictions about using natural-ish cosmetics I then find it nearly impossible to find something awesome.   This one, though, easily earns a place in my daily routine and a spot in my purse.  I love it so much that I want to tell you about it.  The name is Tarte Lipsurgence Natural Lip Tint and, if you’re on the hunt for a new lip product, you should totally check it out.  Now, I think that I need to briefly explain that I’m not all that into makeup.  Daily, I wear balm on my face, mascara, blush if I have time, and lipcolor.  I didn’t do any of this stuff regularly before my last birthday, but,  you know, even the stubborn among us usually eventually give in and hop on the makeup train.

I’m now a passenger.

What is so great about this lipcolor:

  • it doesn’t smell weird
  • it is sheer but build-able color
  • it feels like a lip balm going on
  • it isn’t sticky
  • it stains your lips (not too much)
  • easy application with a big, chubby pencil

I have the color Moody, which I would closely relate to Clinique’s Black Honey.  So, it’s neutral but not at all nude.  Tarte has a whole bunch of colors, though, even some matte ones, so there’s something there for everyone.

Okay, so ends my makeup plug.

Happy Tuesday, y’all!
