tarteist Glossy Lip Paint.

tarte must have heard my calls for a long-wearing, highly pigmented GLOSSY lip paint because they just launched tarteist Glossy Lip Paint and I am thrilled. As soon as I heard of this nine stunning shade launch, I had to order a few of them to check them out.

I am happy to report that tarte delivers in every way with this Glossy Lip Paint. This dreamy liquid lip formula has a super concentrated level of pigments plus lip conditioners so it leaves lips in a luxurious, lacquer finish with a high glossy shine.

tarteist Glossy Lip Paint feels super smooth on the lips as I apply it with the wand tip. It lasts a good four to five hours on me before it starts fading — super impressive. On first swipe, it is not super glossy, but the more I layer it on, the more glossy is becomes. It is very creamy feeling and not sticky whatsoever.

Like all of tarte's products, this Glossy Lip Paint is formulated with nourishing good-for-you ingredients and skin soothers so lips are never dried out even with the long-wearing formula. 

The shades are all nude and plum based, which are perfectly on trend for the spring and summer season.

  • Obvi - Warm Nude
  • Hella - White Nude
  • Snap - Nude Mauve
  • Goals - Rosy Nude
  • WCW - Berry
  • Fave - Plum Berry
  • Poison - Back Plum
  • Double Tap - Cool Mauve
  • Slay - Orchid

Of course, I picked up the lighter nude shades and I will be keeping these in my spring and summer lip rotation. They are perfect. I have Obvi, Hella and Goals.

I like them all, but I am obsessed with Hella and Obvi and I am sort of ashamed to admit that I already ordered back-ups of both — a lot of back-ups. Hella is the ultimate barely there nude lip shade and Obvi is more pigmented. I also ordered Double Tap to try after falling for the formula.

tarteist Glossy Lip Paint sell for $20 each and are available online now at tartecosmetics.com, Ulta.com, Sephora.com and Macys.com. They will be in stores later this month. 

Currently Obsessed: Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss for Spring 2016.

I think I have gone on and on about how much I love lipgloss. In fact, you can see all of my lipgloss posts here: Lipgloss Posts on Beautiful Makeup Search. To date, I have mentioned lipgloss over 200,000 times on the blog - that's a lot! The latest trend in lips is matte. So when a new, true glossy lipgloss arrives on the scene I get excited! I am very excited and quite obsessed with the newly relaunched Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss in its completely new reformulated and reimagined formula. It truly is the ultimate lip gloss offering a ton of shine, color and a whole lot more!

Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss features a new glossy formula that delivers high-watt shine in 18 new shades. What's equally exciting and makes this gloss different from the rest is that the formula is ultra-hydrating and plumping — it's really like no other gloss I've ever tried before. The secret to the formula is Dior's Hydra-Volume Complex with hyaluronic acid spheres that captures water into the lips for an instant plumping and deep moisturizing effect. This makes the lips look more plump while they feel moisturized. It does this while adding that super, high shine to the lips.

Dior didn't stop with the formula; there are three shine finishes to Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss. Inspired by Dior runway designs you will not only choose color, keep the finishes in mind: Sparkling, Watery, and Iridescent.

Sparkling - These are ultra-concentrated sparkly shades that adorn lips with saturated pearls to reflect light. They feel a bit gritty on the lips as they are filled with shimmer.

  • Gems
  • Spring Ball
  • Princess
  • Shock
  • Fancy
  • Diorosphere
  • Ultradior
  • Everdior

Watery - These are easy to wear glossy shades that are more, clean, see-through and saturated.

  • Nude
  • Tell Me Dior
  • Cruise
  • Paradise

Iridescent - These shades take on a new dimension as they are infused with contrasting or tone-on-tone pearls. These almost look different depending on the light you wear them in.

  • Fantaisie
  • Pearl
  • Reflected
  • Mirrored
  • Diorama
  • Cosmic

I love the glossy shine and beautiful shades in the Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss collection. The plumping effect is subtle in the Addict Ultra-Gloss, but it is definitely there and something that I notice and like over an average gloss. The hydration is felt and it lasts.

Dior Addict Ultra-Gloss sells for $30 each online at dior.com as well as your favorite department store makeup counters such as Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Dillard's.
