Tarte’s Purse Your Lips Lipgloss Clutch for a Real Variety Pack!

Tarte’s Purse Your Lips Lipgloss Clutch ($39.00) features nine stunning shades of lip glosses. Each brand new, limited edition shade features Tarte’s “t5 super fruit complex” (which kind of makes me giggle–let’s be honest). The clutch that holds the lipglasses is large enough that it should fit all of the lipglosses, and then perhaps another twenty more. It’s quite roomy, so you can definitely utilize it as a holiday clutch, and not just a makeup holder, during the winter. The color of the clutch is a faux snakeskin pattern with a dark purple base with golden-greenish sheen/shimmer.
What I liked most about this holiday set is you get a lot of fun colors to play with. I wouldn’t say it’s the greatest value (you get nine 0.02oz glosses for $39, while one 0.2 oz gloss runs you $21), though it would depend on whether you consider the clutch something you’d use. But anyway, half of the time I go for a holiday set is because I can try several products out at once for less than just one. This holds true here. The shades range of peach-nude to creamy red. You’re bound to find a few favorites, and even ones that you’ll use, but hold off for that special occasion.
A downside to this set of glosses is that they are all limited edition. They were intended to be sold in this clutch only; you won’t even find names listed on them (how annoying, by the way!). So if you fall in love with one, don’t expect it to hold you over for very long, and you will have to be on the hunt for a similar shade, since no full-size exists.

How would you say they compare to dazzleglass? They look pretty similar!
Monday, November 17, 2008
To be honest, I wouldn’t compare them at all. They just don’t have the glitter factor that Dazzleglass does!

Ohh, good call, Erin!

So pretty! I’m not exactly a Tarte fan but these look really good. I wonder if those with larger glitters are like MAC Dazzleglass…I think many would be wondering the same thing!
Monday, November 17, 2008
Not really! The ones with glitter are similar, but Dazzleglass has more glitter and has more of that shimmering water effect.
Thursday, November 13, 2008
Oh wow! These look GREAT! I might have to steal these!
Monday, November 17, 2008
Haha!

Monday, November 17, 2008
There are so many brands, it’s hard to keep up with them all!
Thursday, November 13, 2008

Monday, November 17, 2008
If I have a chance, I definitely will! :)
