I went in to Sephora the other day looking for the new Tarte holiday lipsurgence 8-piece set and couldn't find it but I saw this instead. I saw Emilynoel83 mention this on her blog which influenced me to pick this up.Take a look at her post here where she did lip swatches of all these products.
The outer sleeve comes off to reveal a rose gold box, then after opening the lid you see your six products in order from smallest to largest.
The Fresh Sugar Rose Treatment is a lip balm/treatment with SPF 15 and has a tint to it. This feel very luxurious on and leaves your lips feeling very smooth. The scent of this is slightly floral and sweet definitely not overwhelming at all. This product is great for day wear because you should wear SPF everyday on your face and lips and having that built in is an added bonus.
The Laura Mercier Lip Glace in Bare Pink is a light pink with a hint of peach. I love the formula of this gloss because it's not sticky and not too sheer. The scent of this gloss is sweet and has a hint of vanilla in it, quite pleasant. I think this would be a good lip gloss to top off any nude or light pick lipstick.
Buxom Full on Lip Polish in Dolly is a plumy mauve color with a shimmer. These do have a minty scent and make your lips feel tingly for about the first 10 minutes you have in on. Again not to sticky and the shimmer isn't too frosty. This color on me is slightly darker than my natural lips but I still would consider it a "my lips but better" color.
Nars Turkish Delight used to be a beauty cult favorite like 3 or 4 years ago maybe even longer. This is a milky baby pink shade and was coveted to be Kim Kardashian's favorite lip gloss. If I wear this alone it makes my lips look odd and like I have a film over them. But over any nude lipstick it looks really nice and gives a hint of pink and a lot of shine. These lip glosses have a slightly chemically scent but it isn't noticeable unless you stick your nose up to the tube. I don't find these are sticky at all either.
The Bite Beauty High Pigment Matte Pencil in Rhubarb is a dark rose shade. These are very matte so they are drying but if you put on a lip balm beforehand you won't experience much drying at all. I love matte lipsticks so I was excited to see this was in the kit. This shade is also so perfect for fall if you like vampy lips.
Tarte LipSurgence Lip Luster in Glitsy is the only full sized product in the kit. The Lip Luster formula is a sheer shimmery glossy balm. This color is a golden nude with a hint of pink. It feels like a balm on the lips and leaves your lips very soft and moisturized.
