Review/Rave: Tarte Glamazon Pure Performance 12 Hour Lipstick

Hello everyone,
I am peeking up to write you another review today.
My finals are not over yet but I'm almost done!

Today I am raving about a lipstick I purchased last week,
and it is the Tarte Glamazon Pure Performance 12 Hour Lipstick in Bold.ph

I had my eyes on this because my friend Isabelle recommended it to me. She told me that the lipstick lasts a really long time.
So I went to sephora and swatched some colors.
And man I'm in love!!!
The color called bold looks really good on me.
It is on the pricier side ($26), so I wasn't sure if I really want it.
However, after trying it out in Sephora for two times and getting complemented every time I put it on, I decided to buy it.
The texture is so creamy when you first apply it on and the color is so saturated that it is actually more vivid than the color you see in the tube.
What's even better is that the lasting power is excellent! I only apply it after I eat and I good for the day.
AND I got so many complements when I wear it, so of course I LOVE it!

Now let's get on the product itself,
The lipstick contains 0.07 oz of product which is not a lot and it retails at $26.

 The tube is made of bamboo and plastic, and you can see the color on the tube. The packaging doesn't feel very sturdy to me. The cap is not very easy to clasp on, you really have to push the cap. So far it holds up pretty well. However, for the price I paid, I wish the tube could feel sturdier.

So this is the lipstick in the color BOLD, it is a pretty redish coral. Not too pinky. It is pretty bright, but definitely not scarily bright. It is actually perfect for natural everyday look and I think it works particularly well in spring and summer. Plus it complements my medium skin with yellow undertone very well.

 This is one light swatch of the color, as you can see it is true to the color in the tube, after two layer, it will be a lot more vivid than the color in the tube.

The texture is very smooth, it glides onto my lips when I first apply it. After half an hour it dries down, and I don't really have the lipstick feeling anymore. I would say it feels more like a stain after a few hours. The color would stay vivd until I have a meal. The color does sink into my creases a little, but it is definitely much better and less noticable than YSL volupte. It I feel it is too drying, I would put a lipbalm over it.

If you are like me, who has pretty dry lips and likes a creamy lipstick, but is still on the hunt for a long lasting lipstick, this might be the perfect one for you.
If you like corals but you think the coral in the market are either too bright or too chalky or pinkish, this might be the perfect one.
