Tarte Graceful Glamazon Pure Performance 12 Hour Lipstick 1

I bet you didn’t know that Tarte had a new shade of Glamazon Pure Performance 12 Hour Lipstick entitled Graceful. Surprised? It released for Spring 2013 but it was a sneaky little release you might not have known about.

Mmmhmmm….!

Am I tell you something you didn’t know about?

Tarte Glamazon Pure Performance Lipstick Graceful

If you love shades like Lipstick Queen’s Jean Queen you’ll ADORE Graceful!

Graceful is a warm, dusty rose shade. I always think of shades like these as really pretty but bright MLBBs (my lips but better).

Tarte Graceful Glamazon Pure Performance 12 Hour Lipstick Swatches

Tarte Glamazon Pure Performance Lipstick was introduced Fall 2012 and is a cream finish lipstick with a full color pay off and a hydrating formula. The texture quite reminds me of Revlon’s Ultimate Suede Lipsticks but aren’t as drying. They have an easy glide across lips with a soft, velvety semi-matte finish. They don’t quite last twelve hours on me but I can get five in with an extra few hours due to the fact they stain after wearing away. The formula is gorgeous at first application but does go a bit drier as wear progresses so I prefer topping with clear gloss (this is the case in the Winter anyway when my lips are drier). Pigment is amazing on Graceful with a single strike yielding full color coverage.

If you love dusty berry rose shades I’d highly suggest checking out Graceful! The color is stunning!

It’s available now at Sephora and Sephora.com

    This colour looks pretty on you.. I might have to check it out myself! I love these lipsticks!! I’ve been wearing “Inspired”.. it’s pink and pretty. They’re creamy… lasting.. and don’t bleed. There’s no nasty flavour or scent either. Some people complain about the large case but I think it’s fun. Barb Approved 🙂
