Tarte 'Gifts From The Lipstick Tree' Achiote Color Collection


Here are swatches of all three products, on the far left is the Maracuja lip gloss. In the center is the Lip Surgence lip pencil, and on the right is the Amazonian Clay blush.
Achiote is a tree from South America, AKA the 'Lipstick Tree' that Brazilian women have used to pigment their lips and cheeks for ages. Tarte made this amazing secret pigment readily available for every woman by bundling it into one incredible, pigmented set. The 'Gifts From The Lipstick Tree' set is a steal at $42, it's worth is $70. This is such a phenomenal set because all three products are full-sized. It comes with a Maracuja lip gloss, a Lip Surgence Lip Luster, and an Amazonian Clay blush. They're all in the color 'Achiote'. Achiote is a natural tree from Brazil that produces a natural pigment, which gives these products a gorgeous coral color. All three products are incredibly pigmented and long lasting, which is a specialty of Tarte products. I believe all of the products in this set are also exclusive to this set. You can pick up this set at Sephora and Tarte, and I urge you to purchase it ASAP if you want it because deals like this don't last long. This set IS limited-edition so check it out!

Here is a more in depth description of how each of these products work for me:

The Amazonian Clay blush has been a favorite of mine the first time I tried it. The 'Achiote' color is a nice matte coral blush, with the signature Amazon river printed on it. The blush is silky, pigmented, and blends wonderfully. This would be ideal for someone starting out in makeup. This blush is known for staying on all day, and has never let me down.

The Maracuja lip gloss is wonderful. It's very creamy, and unlike most glosses, it doesn't feel sticky. It's nice and smooth while applying it, and has a long lasting shine.

The Lip Surgence lip luster is a thick lip pencil that goes on smoothly and easily. It gives the effect of a beautiful lipstick, without the hassle. The color itself is very pigmented, it is a nice pop of coral with a beautiful golden luster. When it hits the light, this product is stunning. I was very impressed with the amount of pigment, and of course the long wear it provides.

All of the products are amazing quality, and they work for all skin tones because a beautiful pop of coral looks stunning on everyone. Based on pigment, wear, and ease with applying, every product gets an A+ in my book!
