Rum Punch
Tarte Rum Punch Rainforest of the Sea Color Splash Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a medium, rosy beige with warmer undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque color payoff that applied evenly across the lips. The formula felt creamy enough to glide on without tugging but wasn’t too thick nor did it slide around on the lips while worn. There was a smidgen of color that pulled into my deeper lip lines, but it wasn’t something I could notice at a normal viewing distance (only in the close-up photos). The lipstick stayed on well for four and a half hours and was moderately moisturizing.
The formula is supposed to be “long-wearing,” “full coverage,” and hydrating. The consistency has an incredibly smooth, creamy feel to it and has enough substance and thickness to it that it adheres well to the lips and usually doesn’t pull into lip lines. I felt like the formula felt slightly more emollient initially and “dried” a bit to more of a satin-to-cream finish after a few minutes (but not a true dry down, as it wasn’t transfer-resistant!). The majority of shades were very pigmented, easy to apply, comfortable to wear with light to moderate hydration over time, and lasted between four and seven hours on me. A few of the lightest and darkest shades weren’t as pigmented or were less flattering on the lips compared to more of the medium shades. There did not seem to be any added fragrance to it (smelled slightly waxy), and I didn’t notice any taste.

The texture was lightweight, creamy without being heavy or too slippery, and was comfortable to apply and to wear. It had great pigmentation that went on evenly and smoothly, which lasted for five hours and felt hydrating over time.

Sunkissed
Tarte Sunkissed Rainforest of the Sea Color Splash Lipstick ($21.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a light-medium, peachy coral with warm undertones and a cream finish. It had nearly opaque pigmentation that applied evenly across the lips. The consistency was lightweight, creamy without being too wet (so it didn’t slide around), and wore down to a more satin-like finish after two hours of wear. There was a touch of color that gathered in my deeper lip lines, though it wasn’t noticeable from a normal viewing distance. This shade wore well for four and a half hours on me and was moderately hydrating.
