Tarte : Pouty LipSurgence lip luster

    I don't remember ever wearing lipstick as a child, but as they say, pictures don't lie especially back in the days. I guess my mom put some on me for picture taking purposes and also for special events back then. All I can remember is having Chapstick first then lip smackers came along. Lip smackers was so immensely popular back in my elementary school days and most girls have at least one. Of course I was part of the lip smackers gen and I own quite a few. My favoritest lip smacker is probably the Dr.Pepper flavor. It smelled so sweet and just like the pop itself. 

    After lip smackers, I moved on to using lip gloss. I liked and started using lip gloss because of the glitter. Sparkly things always caught my eyes and I enjoy being glittery ( I even sprinkled glitter all over myself at one point in time). A second reason for my switch to lip gloss is the shiny texture. I really like having my lips glossy and I also feel older too. Lip smackers became a kiddy thing and I want to grow out of it. In middle school, I would often times out lip gloss on. In high school, though, things changed a bit since I joined color guard. I was advised to put on lipstick for every performance. My mom then gave me a sparkly light pink lip gloss and a magenta colored lipstick to use for color guard. Everybody in the guard used red lipstick, while I was the only one using pink. I actually enjoyed using pink because red to me was a grownup color. After color guard, I reverted back to using lip gloss. Lipstick does not mean much to me besides the symbol of a woman in her late twenties to thirties or something. 

     These few years in college still did not change how I feel about lipstick much. Although, I do see the importance of lipstick now. Lipstick can make your lips look more lively by giving color to it and does not leave it greasy looking. Whenever I put lip gloss on, my fam would joke and say that I must have forgotten to wipe the oil off my lips. I like how lipstick can give your lips color, but I guess I'm just not a lipstick person. Last year, I was still a lip gloss person until Tarte came along. I bought a sample kit last year for that sake of wanting new lip gloss since the ones I have were pretty old. The sample kit included Tarte's Hope LipSurgence natural matte lip tint. I did not have a great feeling at first about this lip tint since the tint popped out when I took the cap off. The moment I started using it, I realized that I found the one. Tarte's lip tint was not glossy, gives my lip some color and most of all made me attracted to it. I literally use it every day when I went back home and everyone thought I had lipstick on. I just felt so great because I know that I'm a lip tint person. 

      I bought a little Tarte set not long after I tried my first Tarte lip tint. This lip tint is Tarte's Pouty lip luster. This lip tint glides smoothly on my lips and also leaves a bit of sparkle too. These days Tarte's lip tint is what I would use when I feel the need to have some color in my lips. All I would like to use now is lip tint, but who knows maybe my feelings about lip stick will change as I get older. Until then...lip tint for life!!!!
