tarte maracuja juicy lip plumping gloss Rosy Mauve
by tarte · makeup
Editor's Take
A cooling plumper that swapped the sting for a chill, built on petroleum wax and glass minerals; the maracuja oil is real, but it's not running the show.
Four-pillar formula scores
- Efficacy: 7.4 / 10
- Modern Tech: 6.8 / 10
- Clean Beauty: 8.2 / 10
- Sustainability: 3.5 / 10
The Verdict
The bottle says formula. The INCI says something more ordinary. The glass-based minerals earn the shine claim, and the efficacy sits at Strong (7.4/10). The clean score lands at Very Clean (8.2/10) despite the petroleum wax base and undisclosed synthetic flavor. Worth it if you want gloss and tingle without the sting, but the sustainability is low and the maracuja story oversells the supporting role those seed oils actually play.
