*sigh*  Maybe I'll pass on these.  A couple of them look pretty, but I just don't get the wear out of them that everyone else does.  Black Dahlia is definitely the best on me, both in color and in longevity...but I haven't had much luck with the others.  Maybe the darker lip tars stay better on me than the lighter ones (which of course makes sense...same with lipsticks), but I had higher hopes for these based on how great they seem to work for everybody else.  Memento doesn't even last me through a meal.  Oh well... Money saved, I guess... Done with my Eeyore impression now, lol
I thought I was the only one! But I guess more for everyone who loves them.

Wow that sucks. Hmmm...are you sure it's the metallic ones that caused the issue and not the peppermint oil?

I'm not sure what exactly is causing the break out, I read that the okl can cause it. the dry lips only happen with the metallic one the other two havent bothered me. :/

It may be that. Do you usually wear lip tars several days in a row or was this a change up in your routine? I wonder if it's the metallics specifically or if there is something universal in the lip tars that started to irritate your lips/skin after repeated use. Do you ever have issues with any other brands metallic formula? It can be tedious to try and isolate a specific ingredient that is affecting you, but if you can then it will help you in the future to know what to avoid. I have a friend that can't wear lip tars or anything with peppermint oil for more than 3 days in a row without having a reaction. Not sure if that is a common thing for some people but it's something to consider. She learned it was peppermint oil after realizing that she got the same reaction whenever she used a lip balm that had PO in it.

I think it was the first time I wore a liptar more than a few days in a row....I think its the peppermint oil now that u mention what happened to your friend. Its what i've read =( ima try it again this week and see if it happens again. metallic lipsticks dont bother me,but I guess they are just more drying in general. The dry lips isn't enough to turn me of, I can just add a lil dab of gloss. I use lipbalm every night and before I do my makeup. I did notice that I also broke out after I started wearing lipgloss again... ima test the lip tars again this week....

I personally wouldn't but that is of course your decision. My lips are sensitive to drying lip products, but these are whole new level. They just don't work for me. They are so gorgeous and pigmented though. They also must be great for mua's.

I read a few pages of this thread to see if anyone had problems with dryness. I only have one OCC lip tar and I want to purchase more, but I don't get very long wear and my lips become REALLY dry and start to peel. I always moisturize with lip balm, use liners and make sure I don't apply too much product. Sigh. I really want to try more colors... My lips get upset when I wear anything other than MAC.

If they're peeling then you allergic to the peppermint oil or the hemp oil. Dry is one thing (my lips feel dry while wearing these) put peeling is another.

OK. Thank you. A gloss that I wear from Bath and Body Works has 2% peppermint oil and it's pretty moisturizing, so it must be the hemp oil. After a few hours of wear (OCC lip tar Strumpet) my lips will become super dry, especially my bottom lip, and peel some. I even attempt to remoisturize, but my lips need recovery time and I usually don't reapply after I eat lunch. I have only worn it three times maybe.
