A month or so ago I was watching QVC when Tarte Cosmetics was airing. I was completely sucked into the program. I was about to purchase many things but decided on the one item I had never tried… Lipsticks. Tarte Amazonian Butter Lipstick Trio Summer Shades is gorgeous.
“What is it: A set of three ultra-moisturizing lipsticks inspired by the whimsical colors of the Amazon rainforest.
Who is it for: Women looking for a trio of creamy, buttery lipsticks in three perfect everyday shades.
Why is it different: Add a splash of rich color and creamy shine to lips with tarte’s trio of Amazonian Butter Lipsticks. This exotic collection includes three shades that glide on smoothly and saturate lips with awe-inspiring color. Always hydrating and never drying, these lipsticks keep lips moisturized thanks to a cocktail of emollient butters, essential fatty acids, and vitamin A for the appearance of more youthful-looking lips.
How do I use it: Twist the lipstick base to propel and apply to lips.” – Tarte Cosmetics

The packaging itself is fun. I love they they have taken on the cardboard packaging that is reminiscent of Paul & Joe. Keeps it lightweight and good for the earth. Each tube has a design different from the others. The three shades included in this trio are Peach, Watermelon, and Mauve. This set was limited edition but the formula is the same.
The formula is so amazing. Butter is in the name and that is exactly what it feels like. It is highly moisturizing and the finish is like a MAC Cremesheen. Lightweight with great pigmentation. The opacity is sheer-medium. It has the sheen of a gloss, so… one step process. The wear time is a few hours. Not exactly a long-lasting formula but definitely high quality.
Peach is a true peach shade.
Watermelon is a bright watermelon pink.
Mauve is a beautiful pink-nude. Perfect “My Lips But Better” shade.
Side by side you can see the differences. These 3 shades are PERFECT for me. I can literally get rid of any other lip product I own and be set because these 3 shades have me covered.
Tarte Cosmetics Amazonian Butter Lipsticks are some of the best lipsticks I have ever tried. I can see myself wearing them not only all summer, but all year. This particular trio was limited edition and currently sold out but there are other shades available. This is the link to the trio that is currently available on QVC for around $32 + tax and s&h.
