Loving... Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (OCC) Lip Tars... Part 2

My part 1 swatches were a hit, yay! Glad you loved them. Now were going a little more daring in Part 2

If you missed my first post, I'll link to it right now - OCC Lip Tars Part 1 - Check out that post for info about the lip tars including where to buy them etc. This post will purely be swatches and talking about each one as I post the pictures. Enjoy!!

Grandma - Grandma is a pure coral, it's very bright and quite intense, it looks almost neon in my photos (taken in natural light). I prefer wearing this blotted down a little or with a gloss over the top to tone it down. It really is a must have however and would be a great colour to mix with others.







Pageant - Is a bright bright pink with a slight purple/bluey undertone. It's quite a dark colour on the lip and another one I blot down or pop a gloss over. In my full face pictures below the first picture is Pageant on it's own and the 2nd is with the MAC Resort Life Lip Gelee (from the Venomous Villans collection) over the top. I also smudged a bit on my upper lip... oops! :)









Trollop - Firstly, love the name! On Temptalia's website, she describes this as a watermelon pink coral and she's spot on! I was going to retake the photos of this but then having looked at other swatches, this is exactly how it turns out in natural light. Kinda neon looking! It's pretty cool but I think it really is quite a daring shade.

Loving... Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (OCC) Lip Tars Part 1

The OCC Lip Tars were by far the thing I was most excited about picking up at IMATS Sydney.  I'd heard amazing things about them and I can tell you now, it's all true!

It looks like a lip gloss tube, but beware! Don't apply it like you would a lip gloss! You only need the tiniest amount to cover your lips fully and I mean a pin drop amount...seriously. I find using a lip brush to be the best method for applying the product as well.

As for the formula of this product, I don't find it drying and I find the peppermint oil ingredient is kind of refreshing on the lips. One thing I do especially love is the wear, these do last on your lips which for a lazy can't be bothered to redo my makeup kinda gal (ie me) it's fantastic!

In Part 1 of my OCC Lip Tar posts i'm going to show the more wearable colours I have, which are Momento & Melange. The Lip Tars come in some cray cray colours (blue, yellow, green, black) while for someone like me who just loves makeup and not overly bold/daring makeup those colours are unheard of but for Makeup Artists they are fantastic or budding artists who enjoy mixing colours and making their own unique shades.

Momento is my favourite out of all the OCC Lip Tars, it's just a gorgeous wearabe pink it's just a no brainer colour for me.

If your interested in trying out OCC Lip Tars you can buy them in Australia from Makeup and Glow and they retail for $16AUD.

Also a little tip if you do own Lip Tars, sometimes the product does seperate (as you will see in my photo of the Melange tube) what you need to do to remedy this is place it facing whatever side hasn't seperated so the product mixes together. Shaking it doesn't help. So what I suggest is when you store them, move them around frequently to prevent it happening.
