Final Verdict: Tarte Maracuja Divine Shine Lipgloss

I really wanted to love this product. I really did. The packaging is adorable and the colors in the tubes are beautiful.

I got Glisten (described as peachy nude) and Tipsy (described as a bright peach). The colors were beautiful in the tubes and swatched on the back of my hand in Ulta but were sheer when spread on my lips. I've had a love-hate relationship with lipgloss, I only love it if it's very pigmented, there is enough sheer gloss on the market to sink a ship. When I tried Glisten last night it was sheer on the lips which I expected a bit with it being a nude but when I wore Tipsy for my church portraits today I found that the Tipsy shade was as sheer as the Glisten even after I layered it on.

I also have a beef with the stickiness of this gloss. I felt like my lips had a glue stick spread on my lips.

Bottom line, I returned these because at $21 a pop, I would love to have my $42 back in cash or credit so I could buy something I actually love and will wear.

If you're reading this and actually love this product; I'm sorry I dissed it (this is the first time I've had to post a bad review here..)! But please tell me why you like it and/or the shades that you have and adore. I am open to everyone's opinion!

I don't have a photo of these because I returned them, but there are a lot of beauty bloggers out there with swatches of these up on their blog.

Thanks for reading! x
