Birchbox Breakdown

It took us a while to learn how to draw inside the lines, but our childhood addiction to coloring books is finally paying off. These user-friendly chubby lip pencils are a goofproof way to lasting, moisturizing color. A cross between a stain and a gloss, each gel-based tint goes on sheer yet stays true for hours. The wearable shades include peaceful, a beige-toned neutral tint; lucky, a soft pink matte tint; and joy, a juicy peach tint. Naturally, our favorite is amused, a bright fuchsia tint.

How it Works

These lip pencils may look cute, but they’re backed by serious ingredients. Made with patented LipSurgence™ technology, they’re clinically proven to boost moisture levels within our lips. In addition, vitamins C and E protect lips against line-causing free radicals, while jojoba seed oil is a proven skin-smoother. An infusion of cooling peppermint oil heals chapped irritation. And rest assured: the formula doesn’t contain harmful ingredients like parabens, mineral oil, or sodium lauryl sulfate.

How to Use

Glide the blunt pencil over your lips (no need to fret about being too precise). When you want to release more pigment, just twist the base counterclockwise—no pencil sharpener necessary.

Smooth lips..

I have to say, I was not convince when I saw it was a lip stain or lip gloss for that matter. I dislike wearing lip stains they tend to dry my lips out and lip gloss can be too much at times. Then Tarte Peaceful blew me away. Peaceful is a pink/nude color that I just love. I can wear this all day and my lips will not feel dry at all. I actually feel my lips softer. Definitely, one of my favorite products.

Love the idea

I liked the color and I like the brand's mission, but I felt that it was too dry on my lips. I put it on and was immediately reaching for a moisturizing lip balm to put on over it. I felt like I was putting on lip balm every 10 minutes to counteract the effect this had on my lips. If they make it more moisturizing, I would definitely buy it.

This is my top five of favorite things I've gotten from birchbox.

It feels amazing on and looks great. I've had the sample for literally a year and I use it frequently. You just don't need a lot. It's great!

lip stain

This is a great lip stain with a great formula that it has; only thing is that I don't believe that it stays on very long and when the moisture of the lip stain runs out by being on your lips its gets a dry chapped remaining look on your lips.

Great lip tint

A fun bright pink that doesn't look insane on, and lasts all day? Amazing. The glossy but not sticky feel is ideal for anytime and lasts a good couple of hours before needing reapplication

Favorite Lip Tint Ever

I'm not one to wear a lot of color on my lips. I usually just grab my chapstick and run out the door. but i got this tarte lip tint in my box and i love it so much that i now own 5 different shades. It is so light you just get enough color to add a little pop. great brand - great product.

Nice matte lip color.

I actually owned this before getting it in the box. I like matte lip colors, and this works nicely without being too bright. It can be too drying in the winter, but good for the summer!

not that great

people love tarte's lipsurgence lip tint and i hoped i would as well but its really not the product for me. I got the soft pink color and you really have to put many layers on for the color to show up and at the point itis has really highlighted and chaps in your lips and make them feel very dry. wouldnt recommend the soft pink color- maybe you would have better luck w darker color

Matte Lip

I really liked this stuff! It had a very matte feel to it and made my lips feel amazing even after I took it off. If left them feeling moist and the stick lasts forever!

Great natural color

I love the slight color this gives quickly. However, I do not feel like this stays on the lips very long.
