I don't even know where to start with the tarteist Lip Crayons. These were such an incredible let down. Not only are they super dry in formula, they crack off when you attempt to apply them to you lips. The plan was to do lip swatches but they left my lips looking and feeling so dry.. Let me know if you have tried these, did you like? According to reviews on the Sephora website, the feeling is mutual.

Tarte Kiss Bliss Tarteist Creamy Matte Lip Paint Swatches

I had much better luck with the tarteist Creamy Lip Paint. This is a mousse texture, that goes on matte. It does not apply liquid to matte like a typical liquid lipstick. I don't mind this, it makes them more comfortable to wear but not transferproof. I had no problems applying any of them with the exception of Chill, this was slightly patchy. The rest had a very consistent, even application. 

It's hard for me to recommend this set. The lip paints are great, but the liners are basically a throw away option. I'd recommend just buying 2 full size lip paints and putting a cute bow on them ;).
