When you hear of matte lip stains you automatically imagine your lips dried out in a short time, right? I love red lips but when it comes to wear it out, it can be a pain. You can't enjoy your drink or dinner without worrying about your lipstick or lip stain staying in place. As my first matte lip stain I was excited to try it out and see how it works for my extremely flaky lips. Of course the first steps you want to do are exfoliating your lips and put some balm on to smooth them, after 10-20 min wipe the balm away and put on the stain. For a natural tint use a light hand, for bold lips two or three coats is enough. You will notice the peppermint taste and smell which keeps your lips cooled, especially if you have irritated or inflamed lips. I checked my lips every 30 min and they always seemed to look great, after wearing it almost all day I kind of couldn't believe that my lips didn't dry out. I asked myself why? Was it the peppermint scents or maybe the wax texture that made it so smooth? I checked out some pages and find out that Tarte's LipSurgence technology absorbs into your skin to deliever a surge of moisture on a cellular level, while boosting peptides to stimulate skin's own regenerative system and assist in the formation of collagen.

Wow, I know!
It contains vitamins A & E, coconut extract and peppermint oil. The packaging is pretty and sturdy, no need for a sharpener, no animal testing, synthetic dy free, parben free, phthalate free, sodium lauryl sulfate free, synthetic fragrance free. Although an amazing product I would recommend to everybody!
My favourite red
This stuff is killer! Such a lush, deep, velvety red. My lips are always on the dry side and every other matte lip product I've tried has looked awful aside from this one. I don't find it to be moisturizing but it's definitely not drying, either. Just a great lip colour that lasts for hours!
Favorite "lipstick
One of my favorite youtubers swears by this product, so I decided to try it out, and I am SO glad I did. I love the color it provides, and that it's matte! It lasts for a long time, and I don't need to apply often. It's minty, and it leaves my lips feeling moisturized without the actual "glossy" feel. I definitely recommend using a lip scrub or something for chapped lips beforehand though.
