Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Crème Is the Glossy Pop of Color We’re Craving This Winter—Review

I love wearing lipstick for the holiday season—especially festive reds and deep wintry shades—but I don’t love when lip color dries me out in the winter and settles into chapped lines. That’s why Tarte’s Maracuja Juicy Lip Crème is so refreshing—it gives lips pretty color with healthy-looking sheen, and it doesn’t dry me out. “It is a hybrid of a softening balm and satiny lipstick—and this makes it perfect for dry winter days when my lips are more prone to cracking but I still want a glossy pop of color,” agrees Allure’s Paige Stables after trying the lipstick. “Plus, the slim bullet makes for an extra-precise application.” And as for my festive reds and wintry shades… the collection includes pretty reds and neutrals like browns and pinks, such as Mauve, Peachy Pink, Cranberry (a deep red), and Peppermint—that last one is a brick red that reminds me of the 90s, in the best way.
