OCC lip tars

I noticed this too!   I was on Sephora's website last night and randomly went to browse the lip tars, and I saw they've gone up to $18 (US price) each!  I was like, "Ummmm...weren't they $16 a couple of weeks ago?"  If I needed more convincing to wait until IMATS to get more lip tars, this was it!
They're up to $18 on the OCC site too. Looks like it's a universal increase.

I ordered Pennyroyal today from Sephora before it disappeared and was surprised by the increase. I'm used to everything going up by $1, not $2. Now I'm really going to time my Lip Tar purchases to coincide with sales. I still have too many colors left to get.

Power Plant is listed at Sephora, but shows as out of stock.

OMG after this thread, I want them all more! I was doing SO good refraining from buying them. Ugh! Thanks ladies for making me shop more!

Beauty.com also sells occ, so keep an eye out for their sales as well! Nigels too!
I definitely shop at Beauty.com, but haven't heard of Nigels. I was looking at Beauty.com's inventory earlier today. I noticed their color selection is smaller, but the price is still $16. Now I'm wondering if the price increase is to cover the additional cost of the plastic pouch and mini brush. They have a few colors I don't have yet, so I think I'll get them at the cheaper price while I still can.

Get it girl! Nigelbeauty.com. They tend to get people's hopes up cuz they list all the old DCd shades, but when you add em to your bag it says 0 inventory :(

Beauty.com may go up in a few weeks...they tend to be a little slower at updating their pricing when a company price increase is initiated. I guessed correctly that Sephora was getting ready for a price increase when all of a sudden their lip tar selections were limited to only a few colors about a week or so ago. I also have OCC's pro-discount but I don't really like ordering from their website unless I absolutely have to. Unless there is some sort of special going on they don't offer free shipping...tends to not matter if you're making a big purchase but if you're only buying one or two then what you save in discounts is lost on the shipping fee. I'm planning on buying almost every color they have available at IMATS NYC (and I'll hit up their store in NY too lol). There aren't any physical locations in my area that sales OCC (I have to go 100+ miles for a Sephora and the one other place in my state that sells OCC) and they don't have the full line to choose from.

I still can't get the one lip tar I own to work for me I'm very disappointed I love the colors and was hoping to get more but now am stuck with something in my drawer that I will never use.

Yes, what problems are you having?
The lip tar dries wonky on my lips making every lip line and crease show which I don't have a problem with normally so it makes my lips look ancient and then when I take it off my lips are irritated and cracked and peel for a couple of days after wards. Some of the other girls recommended lip balm about 10 min before as well as a lip primer which i tried and still I get the same results I don't know what I am doing wrong or if it's my lips just weren't meant for lip tars

If it's making your crack and peel afterward, it sounds like you're allergic. It should he fairly easy to determine the allergy, since it's a vegan company and there aren't a ton of ingredients. Sorry :(

That's what I was thinking I believe they use peppermint oil in their lip tars and if so that is what I am thinking is causing the irritation with me and not the product itself being a pain in the butt :( bummer. Thanks everyone for the tips and tricks

Because the product dries down matte, it sticks to any dry patches on my lips as well. I have to keep my lips moisturize with a lip balm as they are sentisive the cold weeeather dry out.

I also exfoliate before wearing them or as needed during the week.


I finally got Vintage, Iced, and Lydia. Lydia I wanted for mixing mostly as I don't have a lot of deeper shades or muted ones.

Yep, peppermint oil, hemp oil and castor seed oil.

Lydia is GORGEOUS on it's own too!

Eh $18 is a good deal for a product that works but I guess I'll just wait til they put up the colors I want at my local sephora, not sure I wanna spend on shipping when I'm only buying one item
