OCC Lip Tars

First of all, I absolutely LOVE the name. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. I mean, hello! It's maybe not politically correct, but I can't help myself and I think it's pretty perfect. I'm sure you've heard of these Lip Tars some time or another? They have been a pretty hot topic in the colorful world of makeup for quite some time now, and I've managed to steer clear - until now. I'm blaming VampyVarnish for that. She recently published a little review and some swatches of her six newly acquired Lip Tars, and when I saw them on her lips I was completely and utterly sold. I've seen people raving about these Lip Tars before, but they seemed so.. moist to me. Now I realized, after seeing VV's pictures, that the trick was in the amount of product - and her application was flawless!

I therefore decided to invest in a few of these Lip Tars. They come in every color you can imagine, and if you by any chance should happen to imagine a color which isn't part of their selection, well, then you're free to mix it up yourself. Fantastic! I went looking for some good swatches, and ended up choosing five pretty neutral colors. These thumbnails doesn't show the colors any justice at all, so you'll have to use Google to really see how these fabulous lip colors work.

Each tube contains 8 ml, and costs $12.50 (which would be about 78,- NOK with today's exchange rate) if you choose to order them directly from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics - and yes, OCC ships worldwide! You only need the tiniest little blob, and it should be applied with a lip brush. A tube of Lip Tar will pretty much last you a life time.
