Hi Guys,
Today I am reviewing the final and my favorite of all the shades from the Tarte LipSurgence gift set. You can check out berry pink shade Promise here, a rusty brown shade Thoughtful here and a pastel pink shade Precious here. Tarte LipSurgence Lip Cremes are packed in chubby stick form. This range claims to be infused with invigorating ingredients like shea butter, jojoba oil, and mineral pigments that would make lips stay soft and nourished with intense lasting color payoff.
Price $36 (Approx 2350 INR)
Full size product is priced at $24 each.

What I think
The Tarte Lip Surgence lip creme comes housed in a twist up crayon packaging. It has the same color as the lipcolor shade which makes it quite handy to locate shades. The cap fits tight and is gold in color which is quite attractive. I absolutely love the twist up mechanism that prevents so much of product wastage. As opposed to the generic idea of lip crèmes being liquid-y creamy, the twist up crayon formula is creamy enough in the solid form to glide on smoothly without any tugging and is adequately hydrating on the lips. The lipstick smells of fresh mint. Similar to the Revlon Matte balms, this leaves a cooling sensation on application which tends to disappear after a few minutes.
The shade Wonder is a gorgeous deep pink that applies in a satin finish. This is a shimmer free formula. The pigmentation is excellent giving opaque coverage in 1 swipe. It’s a beautiful shade that is universally flattering just like Promise. Staying power is excellent as well – it lasts about 4-5 hours with light meals. After that, it settles into a rosy pink stain for another hour or so. Fading is even without appearing patchy. Because of the creamy texture, it transfers quite a bit.
To sum it up, this is a gorgeous shade that sets well with almost all skin tones. The pigmentation and color payoff is excellent. This is definitely another shade from this set I would buy a full sized version of
Swatch
