OCC lip tars

[butterflyeyes]

Love the way you set them up. Nice haul!!! I was at IMATS NYC this year too...that OCC booth was slammed like crazy!

Thank you! I loved my first IMATS experience. Met a ton of amazing people. OCC was ridiculously packed all day! Goes to show how much they have grown!

I actually just got home from my trip to NYC for IMATS; I got Strumpet, Psycho and a concealer. I tried Beta buy my boyfriend didn't like it. Can't wait to go again!

I got home Sunday afternoon...still exhausted but enjoyed it. I'm already planning on going next year lol. Just have to stay longer next time because the flight and trying to squeeze so much in to such a short time was a little crazy. Fun, but crazy! I wanted to check out the concealers but I didn't want to battle the crowds around the booth to try and swatch anything so I just filled out my lip tar list and got out of there lol. Let us know how you like the concealer!

I always plan to hit the booth first thing in the morning or later in the day to try and avoid the crowds. It's crazy! OCC in general is pissing me off right now. I placed an online order with them three weeks ago and still haven't gotten my order. There was no order status update provided, no shipping confirmation - nothing! I've placed several past orders with them without problems so I don't know what the deal is now. After one unanswered e-mail, I called them and the person I spoke to said she would call me back. A week later and no follow-up, I sent another e-mail and they finally responded, offering a free lip tar for the trouble but still no explanation whatsoever as to why I have yet to receive my order. I wrote back yet again conveying my appreciation for the consolation offer, but still wanting an explanation. No response yet, so I'm going to call them again in the morning.

A little off topic but has anyone tried to mix these with anything like lipgloss, concealer, other lip tars etc.?

I put lipgloss on top of the 2 I have all the time with no problem. I know other people mix the lip tars for sport so I think they play nice with other products.

Since you only need a teensy tiny little drop to cover your whole lips how does one go about mixing? I suppose there would be a lot of waste. I'd also be afraid of smearing which happens when you're using too much.

I am NOT a fan of ordering from their website despite having the pro discount with them. I had a terrible experience with them (their CS is horrible in my opinion) so I completely get what you're saying! I love their lip tars but it's one of the reasons I haven't ordered from them again. This is also why IMATS ended up being perfect for me. I knew I could get what I wanted without dealing with their online CS or having the same issue with no updates on order (until you contact them a few times!), etc.

I use small jars to mix lip tars in...this way I will have enough for a few applications (if I find the perfect combo then I mix up a lot more in the jar for long term use). If you are only mixing 2 colors and you know it's for a one time thing then you can put one color on the top lip and the other on the bottom...then rub your lips together and use the brush to make sure everything is blended right. I have done this before and it worked out fine. Or...you can use a small piece of plastic and mix tiny amounts (a drop from each color you're using for example) and mix it there...then apply.

I've mixed them with other products before...just make sure you don't mix with silicone based products. According to OCC's website lip tars don't play well with silicone based products.

I'm completely guessing on this so please forgive me! I BELIEVE #1 is Annika. #5 Ophelia. #8 Interlace and #9 Zhora. I may need to take another pic and actually write down the order that they are in to be sure! I have a couple of pics with all of the colors EXCEPT for Black Dahlia and NSFW...not sure if that would help but I'll post them just in case.

All of my previous orders have been smooth - absolutely no problems at all. Not sure what happened with this one, since I can't seem to get a straight answer about that.

I called this morning and spoke to Sophie. She contacted the warehouse and within a couple of hours, I received my tracking number. In addition to my order, I'm getting a free Clockwork lip tar. I can't believe it has taken this long. Someone dropped the ball over there.

Glad you were finally able to get some info! I will likely give ordering from OCC's site another shot in the future...I love the brand and really want to believe that my situation was just a fluke but it left such a bad taste in my mouth that I have avoided it every since. My experience at IMATS was great as far as their reps were though.

I am not a huge fan of lip tars although I love the color selection. I hate the feeling on my lips after they have dried.

I haven't seen much info yet about the new lip tar products coming out next month but it appears that they will have more of a glossy look/feel to them and can be applied on top of or mixed with the current selection. Maybe that will help those that aren't fans of the semi-matte/matte drying feel.

Stained Gloss? I kinda like the sound of that. A long lasting lip gloss product.
