FORMULA OVERVIEW | Tarte Drench Lip Splash Lipstick ($22.00 for 0.085 oz.) is supposed to have “full coverage” with a “matte” finish and still manage to hydrate the lips while being “long-wearing.” The range is very pigmented with a more semi-matte to satin finish than truly matte. The wear varied from four to six hours, but the more velvety, silicone-like consistency made it so some shades settled into lip lines, though the more forgiving texture makes it easier to smooth the color back in place during wear. The formula is comfortable to wear overall with a faint mint scent but no taste. If you twist-up the entire lipstick from the tube, it appears rather stubby, but it is actually still 0.085 oz. by weight–the average lipstick is between 0.10 oz. and 0.12 oz. with the occasional lipstick as large as 0.15 oz. (Tarte’s regular lipstick contains $17.00/0.10 oz., and their twist-up LipSurgence range is $24.00/0.10 oz.). Worth noting, the tube itself felt thin and less sturdy than most lipstick tubes I’ve come across.

Whoa, these are…beautiful *_*
They are vibrant!
Wow these are vibrant! *_* Too bright for me though… Too Faced Melted Candy is the only bright shade in this fuchsia range that doesn’t read too neon. lol
They are bright ones! It’s almost like the more matte finish makes them appear brighter to me, though I usually find glossy does that!
Wow, these are so bright and pretty! They make me happy.
Aw <3

I agree, you look lovely!
Tarte sure is impressing me with this Rainforest Of The Sea spring collection! Just WOW.
Bikini looks absolutely juicy and summer-y! I may need that particular shade, unless I find a close dupe in my stash…UD Catfight?
Catfight is kind of there! Definitely different in finish.
Oh, cool! Thanks for saving me some dough with this one! Time to bring out that tube of lipstick again and plop it back into rotation. ?
IDK, I’m not feeling these. From afar, it looks niceif you like very bright colors, but up close, it looks kind of heavy or clumpy on the lips…..
Easy skip for you then! 🙂
These all look great. I’m really drawn to Bikini!
Yay!
Wow those are bright! They scream summertime to me 🙂
So true 🙂
Like them all, both color and application. Can’t wear orange. Ironic bc I’m from Cleveland area and the Brownscolors are orange and brown.?
Awww! 🙁 Maybe orange polish!
holy freeeolies.. these are so freakishly and unbelievably bright! They look fantastic on you! Brights do well on me too, but these are borderline neon so I’m taking a pass since I have similar shades that are not quite as blindingly intense. I have a wide smile and these would make me look all mouth and then some.
Thank you, Wendy! 🙂
Oh, I like all 3! They’re just the right side of brightness for me, any more and they’d wash me out. So summery!
Sounds like they struck the right balance here!
Pretty colors, but for some reason I don’t feel super-excited about these.
They are dupable – feel like we see these in matte ranges often!
Such happy summery colors! 🙂 Mai Tai really pops.
Very true 😀
Wow! These are so beautiful and bright!
They are!
These are really beautiful, bright shades 🙂 I think I’ll pick up Mai Tai for the summer. This Rainforest collection is really impressing me! Christine, your skin looks incredible in these pics; so smooth and absolutely glowing!
Thank you, Cathy! 🙂
Wow, these look fantastic! So glad they are getting good reviews. I’m so done with winter, I’m ready for these bright bold colours!
They are bold picks for sure 😉
