When I did the review for Revlon Just Bitten Kissable Balm Stain it reminded me of the Tarte LipSurgence Lip Tint, so I figured it would be a good idea to do a review on it. I only have one in the color Peaceful, a nude peach. I got it in one of my Birchboxes, and I was excited to try it out. I was curious, but at $24, I could never justify the price for what it is. You can purchase Lip Tints from Sephora or directly from Tarte Cosmetics.

Much like the Revlon alter-ego, the Tarte Lip Tint is a gloss/tint that can be easily applied to the lips using a big crayon type contraption. It twists up from the bottom when you need more product, and the cap fits nicely. It's moisturizing with a slight minty feeling that disappears quickly. The color is sheer so this is once again one of those products that you can use without a mirror. Especially in a light shade such as Peaceful. It lasts the usual gloss length of about 1.5-2 hours. I keep it in my back pack for quick touch ups when I don't want to dig out my balm (it's large and easier to find).
Swatches
Peaceful is a pink-toned peach that tends to enhance the lip color without being obvious. On my lips it doesn't read peach, just gives a more of a glossy feel.
Lip swatch of Peaceful gives a nice gloss and tones down my natural lip color (which can become rather pink). If you have light color lips, it might blend into your lip better.
Bottom Line: I do like the product itself because it's comfortable to wear and easy to use. I like no-fuss products, but the price is a little too high for me to be comfortable buying up a bunch of these. The up-side is that Tarte often has great sets that make it worth while. For example, for the Holiday 2012 season, there's a box set of 5 Lip Tints for $34. Now that's more economical!
