Maracuja Juicy 5-Piece Plumping Oil Set: Full Review and Swatches

If you're a fan of glossy, plump lips without the sting, you've likely heard of Tarte's Maracuja Juicy Lip Plumping Oil. The brand recently released a limited-edition 5-piece set that includes four full-size shades and a deluxe sample. We got our hands on it to test the formula, pigmentation, and wear time. Here's everything you need to know before buying.

The Maracuja Juicy 5-Piece Plumping Oil Set promises hydrated, fuller-looking lips with a high-shine finish. It features Tarte's signature maracuja oil and a peptide complex for a gentle plumping effect. In this review, we'll cover swatches, texture, longevity, and how it compares to other lip oils on the market.

What's Inside the Set?

The set includes four full-size Maracuja Juicy Lip Plumping Oils in shades: Rose, Berry, Peach, and Clear. There's also a deluxe sample of the Maracuja Juicy Lip Plumping Oil in a bonus shade (usually Coral). Each tube holds 0.12 oz of product, which is standard for a lip oil. The packaging is sleek and lightweight, making it easy to toss in a bag.

One standout is the tasty treats maracuja juicy lip duo, which offers a similar glossy finish but in a two-pack format. However, this 5-piece set gives you more variety for the price. If you're looking to try multiple shades, this set is a great value.

• Full-size shades: Rose, Berry, Peach, Clear
• Deluxe sample: Coral (bonus)
• Each tube: 0.12 oz / 3.5 mL

Formula and Texture

The formula is lightweight and non-sticky, gliding on smoothly with a doe-foot applicator. It has a subtle fruity scent (think juicy berries) that fades quickly. The maracuja oil base feels nourishing, and the peptide complex provides a mild tingling sensation that signals plumping action. Unlike some plumping glosses, this isn't painful—just a gentle warmth.

For those who love a hydrating lip product, the maracuja juicy loop is another option from Tarte that offers a similar maracuja oil infusion but in a lip balm format. The plumping oil, however, gives a glassy shine that lasts about 2-3 hours before needing a reapply.

• Doe-foot applicator for precise application
• Non-sticky, lightweight feel
• Gentle plumping sensation (not stingy)

Swatches and Pigmentation

We swatched all five shades on fair to medium skin tones. The Clear shade is completely transparent, perfect for a natural high-shine look. Rose is a soft pink with a hint of shimmer, Berry is a rich magenta, Peach is a warm coral, and Coral (the deluxe) is a vibrant orange-pink. All shades have a glossy finish with subtle micro-shimmer that catches the light beautifully.

Pigmentation is sheer to medium—buildable for a wash of color. If you want more opacity, you can layer it. The formula doesn't settle into lip lines, which is a plus. Compared to other lip oils, these are on the sheerer side, but the shimmer adds dimension.

• Shades: Clear (transparent), Rose (pink shimmer), Berry (magenta), Peach (coral), Coral (orange-pink)
• Sheer to medium pigmentation, buildable
• Subtle micro-shimmer in all shades except Clear

Longevity and Wear

The lip oil lasts about 2-3 hours on bare lips, but it fades evenly without leaving a patchy ring. It's not transfer-proof—expect some transfer onto masks or cups. However, it leaves lips feeling moisturized even after the shine fades. Reapplication is easy and doesn't get cakey.

If you're looking for a more long-lasting option, Tarte's deluxe tartelette tubing mascara isn't a lip product, but it shows the brand's commitment to quality formulas. For lips, the plumping oil is perfect for everyday wear, especially if you prefer a natural, glossy look.

• 2-3 hours of wear on bare lips
• Fades evenly, no ring effect
• Moisturizing even after shine wears off

Pros and Cons

Pros: The set offers great value for trying multiple shades. The formula is hydrating, non-sticky, and gives a beautiful glossy finish. The plumping effect is gentle but noticeable. The packaging is travel-friendly. Cons: The pigmentation is sheer, so if you want bold color, this isn't for you. The wear time is average, and it's not transfer-proof. Some may find the shimmer too subtle.

Overall, this set is ideal for lip oil lovers who want variety. If you're new to lip oils, it's a fantastic introduction. For those who prefer a balm-like texture, the maracuja juicy loop might be a better fit, but the plumping oil set wins on shine and plumping benefits.

• Pros: Hydrating, non-sticky, gentle plumping, great shade range
• Cons: Sheer pigmentation, average wear time, not transfer-proof

The Maracuja Juicy 5-Piece Plumping Oil Set is a worthwhile investment for anyone who loves glossy, plump lips. With four full-size shades and a bonus deluxe sample, it offers excellent variety and value. The formula is gentle, hydrating, and gives a beautiful shine without the sting.
