Hey guys! I tried to search the thread first before posting in case someone else already had this problem and it was solved. I got the mini set around Christmas that has Black Dahlia, NSFW, Anime, and Memento. In the tube, they look like they've separated, Memento especially, and they're really oily and thin when I go to apply them. Is this normal? I know I'm not great at applying with a lip brush, but I usually don't have quite this much trouble.

I was just wondering if I got bad lip tars or if I'm just bad at putting them on

They're so pretty, I don't want to swear off them completely if it's just user error.

It's normal. Just shake them back up or knead the tube to make the pigment and oil mix back up. I try to flip the way my liptars are stored on a regular basis to help keep it from happening, but I get lazy with it lol.

Completely normal. They all do it. Just flip the tube over. If it was standing upright with the nozzle up, flip the nozzle down for 10 mins and it'll mix back on it's own.

Wow...Nigel's is really getting better with their shipping. I ordered maybe 3 hrs ago and it's already been shipped! Or at least a label has been created. :fluffy: :fluffy: :fluffy:

Thanks! I just keep them in the bin with all of my other lip products so I should probably find a better way to store them.

There's no way to store them to keep them from doing it. Keeping them in tour lip bin is prefectly fine. That's how i store all of mine, but with the nozzle up so that pressure doesn't cause them to explode when i open them.

Oh alright. I usually store mine laying down, which explains why the tips are always such a mess. Thanks for the tip!

I'm still in Virginia, dad's honor military burial was Tuesday and I head back to Iowa tomorrow. I have the loot being held at UPS. And I'll pick it up Saturday. Can't wait

Hey ladies, sorry to be a n00b but tell me more about Nigel's?
If you're a pro and sign up for their discount program you will get 40% off of OCC products. The discount amount for other brands vary. If you're in LA you can go to their physical store. Otherwise you order online or over the phone
