This set is a great deal and it comes in different finishes (mine is the 2012 holiday collection). You get 5 for $34 which makes it less than $7 each. All full sized which if bought separately will set you back by $24 per lip tint.

If the color is too dark, I just use a light hand and I get a natural, sheer tint. Works well for my dry lips (the only other ones I like are the Sugar Tinted lip treatments). Major plus for me - like Fresh's products, Tarte does not test on animals. Nor do they sell in China which mandates animal testing (archaic, unnecesary and cruel since so many skin and cosmetic products have already been produced without animal testing and have been used around the world by so many people without any problems).

I love this product. I melted them down into a palette. Spo I can carry them all in one place and have a mirror and a lip brush. I liove all the collors,

I really like these pencils (very similar to the Clinique Chubby Sticks) and the set of 5 was a great deal. However, I really only like two of the colours (the more neutral ones). The bright pinks were much too bright for my liking. Would have preferred a set of all neutrals.

I absolutely love this set! With 5 for $29 they are as cheap as a drugstore lipstick but much better quality. While these are not the most pigmented, they are suppose to sheer, they are very moisturizing and still leave a noticeable wash of color on the lips. I think these are perfect for the winter when lips tend to get dry and lipstick can sometimes enhance the dryness. I'm usually not the type to wear any lip products with shimmer but the luster tints leave just the right amount of shimmer and the glitter is not gritty Overall, I totally recommend these and wish the sets were available year round

This is amazing! I love the pop of color it gives, adn the smell is even pretty appealing. It gives fresh, natural looking color. As for lasting power, I would say 15-20 mins. tops for how long your color will stay. It is rather creamy, so it doesn't really stick like a lip stain would. But I still like it. So right before making a big entrance, pull this out, lightly go over your lips for some pretty color, and BOOM! You got it, girl! :) It's a little too expensive for my taste. I got this as a gift, and you know how tarte's prices are...so I don't know if I would repurchase for sure. It's a maybe there. But I do think it will last a while, so it might be worth re-purchasing.

This was my first Tarte purchase. Picked up the deal of 5 for $29 at Sephora. It was a great deal, I find they last long time on the lips. I do prefer glossy look so I apply a lip gloss in coordinating color lightly over top of these. I tend to prefer the more neutral shades over the brighter corally/red ones, they just don't look right on me. I like to do my eye makeup more bold, and smokey, so I feel if I wear the bolder lip I look too made up like a freakin clown! I wish they would have done 2 different sets, one with 5 bolds for those who prefer that and a set with all neutrals. Other then that this product is real nice and I would definatley buy the neutral colors again!

I ordered this set based on the great reviews, and have no real complaints, other than I really wish the color section would have been a little more varied (and that's the main reason I wouldn't re-buy). As they are now, all the colors are sort of in the corally/peach/pink family. While most of them (except the lightest peach shade, maybe) are flattering on my pigmented lips and NC40 lips, and very moisturizing, I'd love to have seen a plum or maybe brick red shade, just to mix it up some. Other than that, it was a great value (i got it while it was still in stock for Sephora F&F) and i'd consider picking up more of these in different colors (perhaps during tarte's F&F in a couple of days).

I couldn't find out how to make a different category for these shades.
I am reviewing the lipsurgence natural lip tint/stains in swank, perky, and dazzled. I really love these products, they are fun, smell great, convenient to use, and I got them for a really good deal so I can't complain anyway.
perky and swank are stains and they are very vivid in color. I uploaded a pic for comparison. I use these everyday and love how the pens can be scrolled and the mint smell is fantastic.
Would love to soon try out some matte lip tints, but I am afraid they may dry my lips out as the lip stains do dry out your lips a bit. Anyway, if you can find a sale Id pick these up for sure. : D
^ps all my caps have cracked and broken but maybe I have a heavy hand IDK.

Awesome value! I love all the colors as they are very wearable. Feels great on the lips.

I have one of these lip stains in Amused (love it) and wanted to try some more colors. This is a great deal. Out of the colors there is only one that I do not like (perky- its too light for me). These stay put. I can go out to dinner, have drinks, and only have to reapply once.

Pros:
Long lasting
Doesn't feather
Not too shimmery
Moisturizing
Natural
Light, minty scent

Cons:
Not enough pigment
