Like the rest of the world, I love a good lip product. Lining my lips with lip liner, swiping on lipstick, and topping it all off with lip gloss makes me feel like a painter finishing a work of art. (Just call me Picasso!) As a chronically online Gen Z-er and beauty writer, I have tried many lip products—and I can confidently say the Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Vinyls are worth all the viral hype.
The often sold-out, TikTok-beloved lip gloss-balm hybrid was everywhere last year, and its staying power as one of the best on the market is further proof of its allure. Best of all? QVC is offering a Tarte Maracuja Juicy Lip Vinyl Trio worth $78 for only $40. So you can try (and eventually fall in love with) the juicy, glossy formula for yourself.

According to Tarte, one Maracuja Lip Vinyl is sold every six seconds (!). In a very saturated world of lip products, what makes Tarte’s Maracuja Lip Vinyls different from the thousands of other lip glosses on the market?
For starters, it combines the ease of applying a lip balm into gloss form. There’s no messy doe-fit applicator, and to apply, you click up the product (the “click, click, click” sounds incredibly satisfying) and swipe or tap on the balm. It immediately melts into the lips, leaving an ultra-glowy refined shine (that’s not sticky) and wash of color that can be built up to be as opaque or sheer as you’d like.
The impressive ingredient call-outs explain how the balmy gloss offers a distinct combination of hydration to the lips, creating that custom mirror-like shine. Packed with hyaluronic acid (a humectant that retains moisture), maracuja oil (an antioxidant that’s rich in vitamin C), and a 10+ superfruit complex that includes vitamin E, acai, and grapeseed oil, the Lip Vinyls fill in those pesky lip lines for smooth and moisturized lips. The added color is a nice touch, too. Sheer Petal is a quintessential rosy pink; Sheer Lotus is a buildable fuchsia hue; and Hibiscus is a mauve berry shade. The sheer-to-full coverage formula means it won’t look out-of-place if applied on its own, but it can act as a perfect finishing touch in your lip liner, lipstick, and gloss trio.

At just under $40 for the pack of three, each Maracuja Lip Vinyl costs around $13, which normally retails for double. At $26 a pop, it’s safe to say the deal is worth it, especially if you’ve been watching the gloss balm rack up a bevy of positive reviews across social media.
