Tarte’s Double Dose Lip Gloss in Acerola Rush is available at Sephora. It has Sephora’s “Natural Seal of Approval”, which doesn’t necessarily mean it’s completely good for you, but it is lacking in a few of the worst chemicals.
I have rewritten this review because this gloss has grown on me. At first I was adamently against the texture– I thought it was gunky, but after using it more, I found it more appealing. If you don’t use too much at once, the texture is more manageable. I like glosses that are a little bit oilier and have a smooth texture, so it depends on what your preferences are. This one is a bit waxy, so using it in small quantities is best.
It has two different compartments: one for the pigment and one for the clear gloss. They blend together on to the applicator as you squeeze the bottle. I like the peppermint scent and tingle, and the slanted applicator. It’s easy to throw in my pocket when I’m going out, and the it’s easy to apply without overdoing it because of the nice slanted applicator. It seems more hygienic that your ordinary lip gloss. Acerola Rush is a subtle color that isn’t too pigmented, but shows up enough to enhance your natural lip color.
The price is steep. I’d be willing to try a drugstore brand and see if it’s just as good.
