For Potent Pigments in petite Pencil Packaging, There’s the new LipSurgence Power Pigments by Tarte
wearing the new Tarte LipSurgence Power Pigment in Fearless on my lips
I shop in the petites section, I collect tiny perfumes, and I have a reoccurring dream where I’m opening my front door, and there on the ground before me is a basket of baby munchkin kittens trying to find a great lady to adopt them.
I guess what I’m trying to say is this: I do believe that good things come in small packages.

Söpö! The new Tarte LipSurgence Power Pigments, $24 each
Like these sleek LipSurgence Power Pigment pencils by Tarte. They’re new for spring, streamlined and skinny (unlike my favorite tabby), and being added to the permanent line.
Paws for a second…
Compared to Tarte’s existing 0.10-ounce LipSurgence pencils, these diminutive 0.04-ounce ones, which are meant to be a lot more pigmented, are so petite that I nearly mistook them for travel minis. The bigger versions look downright gargantuan by comparison!

What’s the skinny on Tarte’s tiny LipSurgence Power Pigments?
They’re available in eight vibrant, look-brightening shades.
The antioxidant-rich formula has a refreshing hint o’ peppermint (both flavor and scent).
According to Tarte, the tiny tubes make exact application easier, while lessening waste and the size of your carbon footprint (uh…).
They also consist of vitamin E, an antioxidant, as well as a natural anti-inflammatory and preservative; shea butter, which is meant to help skin maintain its elasticity; and carnauba wax for smoooove application.
Each of the eight shades is also created to perfectly pair with one of Tarte’s new recently repackaged Cheek stains (review coming soon).

These remind me of NARS Satin Lip Pencils, only slightly sheerer and with a waxier feel.
As for wear time, well, in food-based terms (because I’m hungry ideal now, and that’s how my mind works), after chugging two huge bottles of water in two hours, I can still see Tipsy (the coral) on my lips, but when I was wearing Blissful the other day and the sudden urge to eat a TJ’s granola bar struck (it happens), I had to reapply ideal after.
Sooo, I’d expect to have to reapply 2-4 times per day, depending on the intensity of your snack schedule.
The smaller pencils will absolutely lighten my load, which is always a good thing when you’re a lip product nomad who travels with a minimum of six glosses and lipsticks, but I’m scratching my head over the $24 price.
These new 0.04-ounce pencils are the same price as their older 0.10-ounce pencil cousins.
Hmm…
