Tatcha Lipstick Trio Review

In my 2nd Tatcha order (click here to see the products I ordered and reviewed), I had included the Lip Blossom Lipstick Trio Set - a complete impulse purchase because I had stumbled across their friends and family sale.  I am trying to replace my bag of lipsticks with fresh ones.  I am a sucker for a set of lipsticks.

I realized I had not received my lipstick trio in the box and customer sent a replacement ASAP with no questions asked.

When this box of lipsticks arrived, I was quite confused, as the shipping box was much larger than my previous order.  And it was heavy.  I only asked for the lipstick set I had ordered.  Surely, this was not the entire previous product order?

I opened the shipping box (bottom left photo above), discovered my 3 promised sample products, and discovered the beautiful white box with purple floral ribbon.

This is definitely a gift-worthy product and presentation!

No, Tatcha, had only sent me lipsticks and this was the set.  3 full sizes boxes of individual lipsticks. I have never owned heavier lipsticks!

Some people had stated that these lipstick tubes were like pieces of jewelry.  They are very nice and heavy.  The way the lipsticks are molded, they have a unique diamond pattern.

Kyoto Red is a beautiful red lipstick.  On my lips, it has a tendency to turn into a cool red (that is my lip print above). I will enjoy wearing this shade for a long time.  It is a matte lipstick and I wish it had more of a sheen to it, but a gloss will take care of that.

Twilight is described as a cherry blossom lipstick.  It went on as a very pale dusty blush shade.  I usually go for something brighter, but this is a very nice shade for super casual days around the house.  It will probably layer on top of another color nicely too.  I would classify it as a nude lipstick.

Sunrise is described as a plum blossom shade. It is a beautiful plum hue.  This is a great anytime color and I will wear it most any time I head out of the door.  This really is my favorite lipstick of the 3 of them.  It is not as matte as the Kyoto Red lipstick and it does brighten my lips more than the Twilight shade.

The reviews I have seen on-line say this is a really creamy lipstick and lasts a long time.

I found the colors are long-lasting. However, these lipsticks are not hydrating in-spite of the silk formula. I really do need a rich and hydrating lipstick.

I am glad a didn't pay full price for this set, but they are very nice lipsticks and I will use them. 

This would be a great gift for any gal who loves lipstick.  The packaging is very impressive and no wrapping is required. You can have confidence in shipping as a gift, because none of the Tatcha packing lists include pricing information!  (Sadly, it appears the lipstick trio sets are gone, but they still feature lipsticks on their website.)

Tatcha Product Purchase Review No. 1

The Starter Ritual Ultra-Hydrating for Dry Skin set by Tatcha

After my first 2 applications of The Dewy Skin Cream by Tatcha, I knew I had to sample some of the brand's other products. My full review of  The Dewy Skin Cream is here.  

When I visited the Tatcha website, I was offered another FREE sample of The Dewy Skin Cream when I placed my first order, IF I joined their mailing list.  (My tiny sample was only 5 ML, and I was going to get another 10 ML FREE).  I took the bait.  Another moisturizer was worth the email harassment!

I decided to order The Starter Ritual Set Ultra-Hydrating for Dry Skin.  This was not a full size product set.  I wanted trial size products, which happen to be more budget-friendly than the full retail size. 

If I like a trial size, I can use it in my travel bag. If I don't like something, it's not as huge of a monetary loss.  My quest for skin hydration has become a very expensive endeavor.  Who can relate?

My order qualified for free shipping and I was pleasantly surprised when it shipped the next business day from California! (Bonus points for customer service!)

I certainly have dry skin and I certainly need ultra hydration.  I am very curious if this set will deliver?

I received a card with my packing list and 3 little samples of other Tatcha products to try.

The products I received inside my box are listed below.  And so are my first impressions (based on very first experience AND a few days of use).  I will write follow up reviews if the products actually live up to their name.

Pure One Step Camellia Cleansing Oil - 50 ML or 1.7 FL OZ

First Impression: The smell did not intrigue me with the first use. You are instructed to apply this with dry hands to a dry face.  It was supposed to turn "milky" once water was applied and the cleansing began.  I did not notice if it did or not, I was in the shower when I rinsed it off. My face still felt pretty tight after using. The information on-line says this product is for normal to dry skin, so I am not convinced this product is for my super dry skin.  (This was in the ultra hydrating box?!?!)  (This is step 1 and is to be used daily.)

The Rice Polish: Gentle - 10 G or 0.3 OZ

First Impression: Texture appears to be very similar to a charcoal powder I am in love with.  The size is actually pretty generous for a sample, but I can't see how full the little container actually is.  A little bit of this product should go a long way.  The color is the pretty periwinkle hue and when mixed with water, the user controls how moist you want it to be.  The odor is surprising.  More dull and earthy than I anticipated.  I am not completely sold on this first use, I may have to warm up to this product, but I will be trying it again.  My skin was softer and smoother after using. (This is step 2 of the skin care and is suggested daily.  I believe it could be used alone as a cleanser daily or used every other day for exfoliation.  I will have to continue my testing of this product.) 

I got an email (remember I got a FREE cream for joining the mail list) about the Tatcha philosophy of dual cleansing.  Supposedly the oil removes the makeup without stripping your skin of essential natural oil and the exfoliator polishes off the skin  Will need more experimentation, but at home, because the rice polish jar is just too big for my travel bag! (I already overpack & space is premium in there!)

The Essence - 25 ML or 0.8 FL OZ

First Impression: The smell is similar to the cleansing oil.  This is a "serum" but is to be "splashed onto the face and neck and then pressed into the skin." Hmmm, ok. My skin felt dull and tight again.  It kind of tingled too.  For the quantity and the price, I am not anticipating another future investment, but will give it a few days.  (This is step 3 of the skin care and suggested daily.)

The Dewy Skin Cream - 10 ML or 0.3 OZ

First Impression: Hallelujah! I made it to the one product I fell in love with and invested my hard earned money on this travel set for!  The smell is as divine as ever (especially since my nose has been assaulted by the previous products)!  My skin welcomes the quenching moisture from the silky cream.  This skin care regimen has be revived.  I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!! (This is step 4 of the skin care and is suggested daily.)  

The Silk Peony - 3 ML or 0.1 FL OZ

First Impression: This is an eye cream.  A little bit will go a long way, so this teeny tiny jar, should last a while - worth the investment.  This is a very smooth and light weight eye cream.  It is not as heavy as the one I am currently using. Very faint neutral fragrance.  (This is step 5 and is suggested daily.)  This little eye cream pot is perfect for my travel bag!

Overall, I am glad I chose to purchase travel sizes, rather than full size products. While I am not in love with everything I tried, I can use the products until they are gone.  You do get "bang for your buck" with this product line, as a tiny bit goes a long way!  

Everyone on-line raves about how great these products smell, but the only one I really love the scent of is The Dewy Skin Cream.

For women with normal to dry skin, this may be a set worth investing in.  If you have extremely dry skin like me, I would suggest skipping the cleansing oil and the Essence.  If you don't have an eye cream you love, you might want to try this one. 

I have ordered other products and will continue to provide feedback on those in future posts!

Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream for Extremely Dry Skin and Women Over 40 Review

The Dewy Skin Cream by Tatcha (5 ML jar shown) is the same color as my Plumbago flower!

I have extremely dry skin.

My flying career, Hashimoto's disease and age contribute to my dry, flaky, and (sometimes) painful skin condition.

I have been on a quest for a rich & creamy moisturizer that actually hydrates for years now.

This tiny jar of Tatcha Dewy Skin Cream was just waiting to be sampled.  It had been sitting in my bathroom cosmetic goodie-bag for a few months.  I believe this little treasure was obtained with my VIB point redemption at my local Sephora store.  

As soon as my fingers touched the moisturizer in the jar, I knew I had just opened something unique, but could this little dab of creamy goodness live up to its name?  (Why had I not tried this before?)

I am very sensitive to fragrance, and while this does has a touch of scent, it is light and refreshing and was very pleasant.  I could not detect a synthetic or overly processed odor.

I applied the moisturizer after cleansing my face and applying my face serum.  I woke up the next morning with....hydrated skin!  It was actually a small miracle! Hydrated skin is something I haven't experienced in a very, very long time!

After applying the moisturizer during the day, I still loved the way it glided on my skin.  I liked the way my foundation felt and looked too. 

In fact, I loved this little product so much, I have ordered more Tatcha products.  I have to find out if the other products in the brand hydrate as well as the amazing product in my tiny 5ML sample jar.

If you are a woman with severely dry skin and/or are over the age of 40, I think you might want to try a sample of this little moisturizer too!  (Oily or combo skin girls, I doubt this is a product for you).

Stay tuned to my blog, as I have ordered some travel size products I hope my skin might like too. (The wallet may not appreciate the expenditure...) Of course, you will be the first to know my results!

If you have tried The Dewy Skin Cream by Tatcha, I would love to know how you, and your skin, felt about it!
