Me too Pinkdollface. I don't know why I sat on my butt and waited so long to get it.I placed an order well over a month ago with themakeupartistboutique, because I could pre-order Belladonna there. On the site they tell that pre-orders can up to 21 days, but since I still hadn't heard anything I emailed them today. I just got an email back and they just figured out that they can't get the Belladonna liptar anymore

Sounds like you are sensitive to some ingredient in it. You are right, probably you should give it a pass.
Probably someone would be willing to buy your tubes so it's not a total loss for you.

Does anyone know if OCC objects to people selling samples of their lip tars? It seems like so many people are looking for samples to test out the color first, but I can't find any places that really supply samples (besides the limited selections at Sephora).

I'm pretty sure every company objects to selling of samples.

Well, I meant in an official sense, like sending out a cease-and-desist letter for example.

As already mentioned, they would most likely object...especially if you get their pro discount and if it's someone that is not an authorized retailer. They don't even sale sample sizes themselves so I doubt they would be thrilled with someone else doing it. I guess one could always find out for sure by contacting OCC about it. I haven't purchased from Sephora before except for the 1st pro pick's set, but I guess if you purchased from them you could in essence use your purchase as a sample...and if it doesn't work out for you get a refund. It would be nice if they would expand to different retailers so more people can see the colors in person and try the testers available in store (assuming a store has a tester available).

Thanks guys! I was just wondering why I couldn't find samples anywhere. I did some more searching and found a girl who sells a small quantity of samples. I don't want to buy a whole tube and not like the color. Hardly anything looks good on me, so I'm a little wary of just buying a tube. Oddly enough, I did an eBay search and found two sellers who sell samples as well (which DEFINITELY weren't there when I searched before).

Yay! Just ordered some samples! I can't wait to try these. My Sephora only has Nylon, Queen, Clear, and Hush, which are definitely not my kind of color. But I got Vintage, Starling, and Authentic.
Are lip tars pretty easy to sheer out without using the Clear? I love the look of Vintage, but wearing such a bold opaque color kind of freaks me out, so I'm hoping that I'll be able to tone it down a bit.

You can mix it with a clear lip balm if you want to sheer it out. Make sure it's oil based and not silicone (lip tars don't play well with silicone based glosses).

The lip tars i have are quite opaque. But remember, you only need two drops the size of a pin head on your lip brush for full coverage, unless you have very full lips, in which case 3 drops the size of a pin head will probably be enough.

It's a gorgeous red! One of my faves!
I want three of the newest ones just released: Batty, Lovecraft and Power Plant. I wasn't interested in the last one until I saw a blog post (Portrait of Mai: http://www.portraitofmai.com/2013/03/occ-sci-fi-lullabies-colour-collection.html) of someone who mixed it with Pretty Boy and I want it now.

Oh yeah. Her pic of the Power Plant/Pretty Boy mix is amazing. I would never have thought they would create that color. I need to play in paints it sounds like.
