As I was applying this lip tint this morning, it dawned on me that I will be very sad when it runs out. As others have stated (and restated) this is a tint, not a stain. It's very buildable,...

Love this! Bought it on sale and it's very wearable & buildable. One or two swipes patted into the lips gives a natural rosey look (at least on my tan NW35 skin), a couple more layers gives a very...

Love this red. A really perfect color, my only complaint is how long it lasts. For a gloss, it lasts longer than average, but for a lipstick it doesn't last long at all. It is not what I would...

Yes, this is pricey, but I adore it. I only found out it existed a few months ago. I searched Tarte's site, and Sephora, all out of stock. :( So, I checked HBO's shop, and lo and behold, it...

$25 for a lipstick I don't like...nope, this is a return for me, unfortunately. I love Tarte lipsurgences and True Blood but this isn't a winner. It's a pinky red and the lasting power is just...

I have a recurring daydream, and in it the Vampire Eric is madly in love with me. (I've always had an absurdly good imagination.) In this vision, my lips are flushed close to the color they get...

Although I'm not really into True Blood I do like this stain. The color, as noted by others, is a pinkish red and not a deep red as the tube might lead one to believe. I personally like it since...

I had to return this product because like other have mentioned it's more of a pink cherry red instead of a true red. I like that you could build up the color, but the lasting power kinda sucked....

Love the nice bright red on this, but removed one lippy as I found it a bit drying. That could probably be solved with a chap stick underneath though. Being a huge True Blood fan I also purchased...

I'd first off like to say that people buying this should pay attention to the actual name--it is a TINT, not a stain. It is (copied directly from the Tarte website) "tarte™ for True Blood™...

I am a huge True Blood fan, so I had to get something when I found out Tarte was doing a makeup line for the show. I'm a pale redhead, so reds of all kinds generally fit my style to a tee. I was a...

I don't like heavy lipsticks so this is prefect for me. I can change the color payoff by blending, for me ranges from a mauve/berry red to full on red (my natural lips are mauve). If you like...

This is the first lip stain I've ever tried. It's goes on as light or heavy as you want. This is perfect for the summer when I don't like to wear lipsticks because it's just too hot out. I do love...

I'm not certain which product a previous reviewer bought, as this most definitely does not have to be sharpened. It is a roll-up type dispenser. Also, it had definite staying power on me, lasting...

I am a true blood fan so I got sucked in by this but the product, while will work for some, isn't unique enough to warrant a 4 or 5 star rating, especially considering the price. In the tube, it's...
