Anyway here are some lip swatches of the colours i got. I hope to get about 3 more and as soon as i have some smaller jars i'm going to try mixing them.

As you can see these are so opaque they all completely block out my natural lip colour (with the exception of feathered which applies a little more patchy than the others).
Would i recommend these? Absolutely. In fact i would recommend them to everyone everywear who likes wearing lipsticks. Even if you would never wear a bright colour like the blues, greens and so on i have, there are many many other colours to try, like nudes and light pinks and as they are mixable you could add other colours to them to create your perfect colour. For instance if you wanted a more cool toned pink you could add a tiny bit of RX to 'Hush' (a very light pink). There is also a clear lip tar to sheer out the colours. And if like me you love an unconventional lip colour, with these the world is your oyster! Imagine all of the different colours you could make! A pastel turquoise, blackened purple, acid yellow! And the finish is just amazing.
Any negatives? The only one i can think of is that these do tend to feather or bleed around my lips, but then i often have this problem with lipsticks or glosses.
Available from here: http://www.occmakeup.com/liptar.html for $12.50 which i think is a great bargain!
Cool! I would love to mix my own colours so I may have to give this a try. :-) The red one is really nice.
ReplyDeleteI really love their tars. I am slowly going broke buying them. I keep meaning to blog about them but I have gotten a bit lazy with it. hehehe....

ReplyDeleteholy cow, those are insane. Must....have..... ok must wait till tax return. Broke!

ReplyDeleteYeah, I think the bleeding is the only problem...but still, those colours look amazing!
ReplyDeleteWoah. Amazing colours! You have such lovely shaped lips :) xo
ReplyDeletedamn! I need to get my hands on some of those.
ReplyDeleteNSFW looks like a dream.

ReplyDeletegahhh! I'm saving up for ordering samples from Fyrinnae, some gifts from Aromaleigh for my friends... and now there are this OCC lip tars and omg! Morgana's new lippies! (have you seen the picture of Lillian, Slime and Serenity? AMAZING!)
Gosh.. ;___;
A need ALL of these espesh the blue one! They look fab xx
ReplyDeleteAre you sure they're all lipsafe?
ReplyDeleteThat blue looks like ultramarine blue in a castor oil base and ultramarines are NOT lip safe according to the FDA.
Also that green looks like Chrom. Oxide Green and it's not approved for use on lips by the FDA either.
The OCC site lists Ultramarines in the ingredients. The FDA in the US does not approve Ultramarines for lip use.
ReplyDeleteBLIX:
ReplyDeletetheyre just so cool. I need jars to get mixinng! :D
The red is really gorgeous, is one of the nicest i own i think, and i own a lot :P
Dissolved Girl:
Hee hee, would love to see your review when you get around to it :) They're fast becoming my favourite lip product.
Rebecca:
you really should, they're amazing!
Kerry!:
I really want grandma, it's one of the few still on my list :)
CthuLynny:
Ha ha! Hope it comes soon, they really are THE BEST!
Lisa Kate:
you really must try them when you can, they're so good! The purple is really lovely and quite wearable i think. I can't wait to try mixing them, i'd like to add a bit of white to it and make a really pale lavender.
Simone:
It's hard for me to tell how bad at bleeding these are as nearly all lip products bleed on me, i'll try these with my too faced borderline pencil, which is meant to stop bleeding and see how it works :)
Emma:
Aww thank you so much! x <3
Anonymous:

Cacau:
you'll have to keep saving i'm afraid, these are so amazing i can't let you pass them by! ;)
kimberley:
yes you do, they're just wonderful. And the blue is one of the nicest blues ever!

I'm afraid i really don't know enough about ingredients or what's safe to comment. They're specifically made for lips, so i would assume they're fine. Ive never heard that ultramarines aren't lip safe before. Thanks for telling me though :)
And i can't see anywhere on the website that says it has passed FDA regulations, but then basically no small makeup companies can afford it.
You are absolutely ROCKING the NSFW shade! Did you buy all these at IMATS? Love them and look forward to seeing what you do with them.
ReplyDeleteJesus these are beautiful, I think I know what I'll be buying the next time around I get some money.
