I was able to order two Belladonna's on a website yesterday evening. I wasn't sure about the second one, but figured I could always sell it on here. If I decide I don't want it you can have it if you'd like?
Belladonna still around? Yay! If you decide you don't need your second one, I'll be more than happy to take it off your hands
See above for the site, but I think there is only a really small chance they will get more in.I hope you ladies can get the Lip Tars to work for you. I don't have anything to add other than what's already been said - Prep+Prime Lip, lip pencils, and very teeny tiny amounts for application.
I haven't been wearing much makeup since it's gotten colder, so I'm not sure if the Lip Tars would be more drying on my lips during this time of year. I do notice that the product inside the tube seems different. Like it's cracked or something. I'm not sure how to describe it. I figure it's because it's colder and the oils in them have separated and hardened somewhat. That may affect application. Maybe warming them up to liquify them more will do the trick. Rolling them rapidly in between your hands should warm them and will also mix the contents again. I just tried it with one of my cracked looking Lip Tars and now it seems fine.
butterflyeyes! That's a very nice haul. I became obsessed, too, and acquired a bunch in a relatively short amount of time. I've never ordered directly from OCC's website. I don't have a PRO discount, but I'm still able to get 20% off at other sites like Sephora and Beauty.com when they have sales. I prefer buying from those locations since I can get VIB points, free shipping and other discounts/promotions. I have a list of about 10 more Lip Tars that I'd like to get. I'm trying really hard to be patient and wait for another sale or discount.
@VeronicaJ - That's a great deal, especially for anyone who wants Pageant. It's no longer available on OCC's or Sephora's websites, so I suspect it may be another unannounced discontinued shade. The same thing may be happening with Demure and Chlorophyll.
@Pinkdollface - Can you list the website where you found Belladonna?
Thanks. Fortunately I have one, but was considering a BU if possible. I do hope this means OCC is going to replace Belladonna with an even more fantastic purple.It was the makeupartistboutique.com. I bought the last two that were on presale. Apparently they were able to get two more from somewhere on the planet and luckily I saw it in time
I'll let you know once it gets here. It might take a while since it was a preorder and I don't think they have it yet themselves.

You can always send them an email and maybe they are able to get more

They do now! You have to choose the invoice option. It took me a night to get the invoice in my mail and then I was able to pay. It's a bit strange, but it works.Thanks
I remember coming across this site but I didn't really pay much attention to the products as they don't take Paypal. Booo!
Good luck and let us know if it works out
This is what confuses me. So every lip tar that comes out in a collection is LE? That means all of the Heroine and Metallurgy lip tars are also LE? I was thinking that new colors are released in collections, but become part of the permanent line until they're discontinued. However, I haven't read anything to say that's how things work. I only got that impression since they are older colors that are still around, like Anime that was released in the Fall/Winter 2009 collection or even Hoochie that came out in the Spring/Summer 2010 collection.
For me using lipbalm underneath lipstick hardly ever works. It makes them very slippery and they will bleed a lot faster.
It's very frustrating. Especially when the recently discontinued colors never appeared on their Last Call page. No one really knew the colors were being discontinued until they were gone.Metallurgy has its own page and seems to be perm, since they are also listed on the main page. I need to get an order in for some of them!
-- Spring / Summer 2010: Complex (a pale beige), Demure (a fuchsia purple), Vapid (a very pale lilac/lavender), and Katricia (a bit warmer than Belladonna) are no longer available, but several of the others are still around.
-- Fall / Winter 2010: of the five i've found that were introduced then, only two - Harlot and Stalker - are in the main collection, the others are gone.
-- Spring / Summer 2011: Two lip tars are still available from the Lo-Fi collection, but the rest are gone, although they're still listed on the ss2011 page.
-- Fall / Winter 2011: All the lip tars are stil available from the Pretty Boy collection on the fw2011 page - it looks like they decided to keep Butch on for a while longer.
-- Spring / Summer 2012: Belladonna was in that collection, The Garden, and is the only lip tar on the ss2012 page that is gone. I'm guessing that it's really gone, because on the main page certain colors are listed as temp out of stock. I still want to get Chlorophyll.
-- Fall / Winter 2012: This is the Heroine collection; i suspect that like the other seasonal collections, some colors will sell out and others will linger.
And the Spring / Summer 2013 collection should be out in a couple months...
