Product & Colour:
Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Drench Lip Splash Lipstick in Top Down is a coral red with a satin finish. This lipstick formula is supposed to be a matte formula but I found it applied glossier then dried down to a satin/matte finish. The pigmentation I also found was buildable in sheer layers.

Wear: For about 5-6 hours before needing a touch-up on their own.

Packaging: Is a basic lipstick bullet tube with a metallic purple to the centre gold gradient. The amount of product you get is smaller than a standard lipstick bulette.

Verdict

I so happy to finally get an opaque formula from Tarte! This shade on my very fair skin reads red rather than a pink on lighter to medium skin tone.
