Today I finally tried one (yes I have 7) of my OCC Lip Tars! And I am in love :) It is all the things I heard it would be - Long lasting, Excellent color payoff and you only need the tiniest amount.
I would definitely recommend exfoliating your lips before applying as it will show all your dead skin bits. They also recommend applying clear lip tar first, but I found as long as I exfoliated and had a used a bit of balm like 20 minutes in advance it was fine.
Here it is swatched on my arm - I could not get a clear picture, excuse the blurriness:
And like the directions show it works best to apply it directly to the brush, you need a teeny, tiny amount. About the size of a large hex in a glitter polish :)
And the results - wa-lah:
It actually looks much more like the color of the swatch on my arm in real life - I took the pictures in 3 different kinds of light but my camera just couldn't seem to catch it, but you can see the lovely texture and coverage non the less. And it lasts and lasts, and than fades to a stain.
I will definitely be trying my other colors in the next few days.
Have you ever tried the Lip Tars and if so what is your favorite color?

I haven't tried these lip tars, but they look interesting, and this is a really nice shade!
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely color - very bold but in a good way. I swear the "SCARIER" the color looks in the tube the better it is on the lips. Colors that look natural are always the ones I end up liking least.
DeleteI've always wanted to try these but I'll wait until I can find a good deal on it. The color looks lovely on you.
ReplyDeleteThe best deal I found was Sephora and they had a set of 5 for $49. But they are like Pokemon, I want to catch them all! Even the green and blue and yellow, because I think it would be fun to actually mix my own colors!
DeleteI love this color! Sephora only sells about 3 shades where I live, so I picked NSFW which is a really pretty, bright red! I'm in love with the OCC tars, I need to pick up more!
ReplyDeletegiveaway!
I got NSFW from Sephora too! I read there is an NSFW#2, I think sephora needs to get more of these - it would be a small display and I want to see the OCC concealers in real life soooooo bad.
DeleteI want to try these so badly! This shade is really pretty and unique.
ReplyDeleteThank you Christine! You always have LOVELY lipstick choices and I know you're a bold lip girl like me!
