tarte’s Kiss and Makeup 5 Pc Amazonian Butter Lipstick Set (L-R): Sweet Peach, Candy Red, Merry Berry, Angelic Nude, Pink Poinsettia

tarte’s online-only Kiss and Makeup 5 Piece Amazonian Butter Lipstick Set is glorious. The colors are vibrant, shade-perfect and actually do glide on like butter. I’m pretty new to tarte as a brand, having bought their Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Full Coverage Foundation on an impulse and picking up the Away Oui Go Portable Palette & Collector’s Set not long after; two of the best makeup-related decisions I’ve ever made, to be honest.

tarte’s packaging has always been a major turn off for me. I still don’t really care for the form but love the function; tarte’s packaging is more environmentally friendly than most, to the point that their lipstick bullets come in cardboard instead of plastic. Pretty awesome! And the cute foil designs on these lipsticks are great, though I am uncertain how they will hold up inside of the makeup bag in my purse. It can get a little rough in there unfortunately. I might have to report back on that.
