Tarte Energy LipSurgence: review & swatches

I have had this for a while now and I think I should probably share my thoughts by now. It retails for $24 and is an adjustable lip stain. Twist up chubby pencil. Mine broke the first time I used it, even though I didn't apply a lot of pressure to the product . Goes on clear and then adjusts, it turns a bright pink on me. Can still see a bit of natural lip color below. It has a very intense stain but at the end of the day it looks quite patchy Starts glossy then stain Doesn't dry out lips, feels like a balm Lovely color but because it turns patchy I don't recommend
