Tarte LipSurgence Natural Lip Luster Review and Swatches

In my recent Sephora haul, I picked up these semi-new Tarte LipSurgence Natural Lip Luster.  They come in 6 different shades.  Tarte says they are a follow-up to the original lip tints (matte and natural), but now has shimmer in it.  I picked up Buff (nude), Adored (light pink), and Pouty (berry).

Overall, these were SO nice! They were creamy and moisturizing, but not greasy.  They felt more like a lip balm.  The shimmer is present but is pretty! Not sparkly at all.  My favorite color was Adored, as Pouty seemed a little too dark for me.  There is good coverage with the color and it was long-lasting.  It does not dry your lips out like a typical stain does.  Has anyone else tried these yet?

These were purchased by me.

Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Eye Enhancing Eyeliner Trio Review

Another new product from Physicians Formula, this time set of 3 custom eyeliners that are color-matched to match your eye color.  The eyeliners come in 4 different shades for your eyes - brown, hazel, green and blue. Retails for about $10.95. 

The brown trio includes dark brown, black, and a dark purple eye liners.  Physicians Formula does state that this is a water-proof an smudge-proof formula. There is also a built-in pencil sharpener on the bottom:

Top to bottom: black, brown, purple

Top to bottom: Brown, purple, and black

 Purple compared to Covergirl Liquiline in Voltage Voilet.

Black compared to Tarte emphasEYES in Black.

Brown compared to Revlon ColorStay in Brown.

After washing and scrubbing hard with soap and water - there is some staying power with these! Had to remove with make-up remover.

Overall, the liners glide on pretty smooth and do have really good lasting power. I do prefer a skinnier point, similar to Tarte emphasEYES.  My favorite color is the purple, which I think looks really good with brown eyes.  I do recommend, but definitely not my favorite eyeliner out. 

These products with purchased by me.
