Tarte Glamazon Pure Performance Lipstick - Swatches and Review

Tarte Glamazon Pure Performance Lipstick

The Tarte Glamazon Pure Performance Lipsticks are great. They have a creamy texture, and they apply smoothly and fully opaque in one swipe. I am so sad that they have been discontinued, but maybe they will make a comeback at sometime in the future (I hope). However, you can still find one color (playful) left on sale on Tarte's website (see links at the bottom of the post). These lipsticks last for about 2 hours, on average, which is not bad for me, since I constantly press my lips together throughout the day.

On to the lip swatches...


Bare Lips


Here are my bare lips, for reference.


Whimsy


Whimsy is a cool-toned light pink color that is beautiful and great for the spring and summer.


Playful


Playful is a light berry color that is nice for everyday wear. It is subtle enough to wear to work or just to add a bit of color to your lips. This is also the only color that is currently available on Tarte's website.


Foxy


Foxy is a bright, warm-toned pink that is a bit outside of my comfort zone. It has great coverage and pigmentation for anyone who likes pinks, however.


Fierce


Fierce is a great, warm-toned red that looks almost orange in this picture. In other light, it shows up as a classic warm-toned red that does not lean orange.


Wild


Wild is a beautiful, cool-toned red that can basically be worn for any occasion if you like reds like I do.


Overall I love these lipsticks. They have a neutral scent and are very comfortable to apply and wear. Their texture is a bit like that of lip balm, which is great for me, and they wear down to a less shiny finish after blotting. They are definitely not matte, however, so if you are looking for a matte finish, you might want to try Tarte's new line of Tartiest liquid lipsticks.

Tarte, please bring these back!


Disclaimer: I purchased these lipsticks on my own and received no financial or material incentives for this review.
