I actually like it but I imagine on some days I might want to tone down the orange in it a little. It's not too overbearing but sometimes I'd want to soften it a bit.

How do you feel about Vain?

Love Vain! Such a gorgeous super pigmented color. It stays a bit more "wet" than expected so it never really gets a true matte look. You could blot it down though and then apply a second thinner coat to take some of the shine down if you want (or use a little translucent powder). Oh and it stains like crazy lol

Sephora finally added these today! They weren't searchable by name last time I looked. You have to go to OCC's section on Sephora, then browse from there.

Eh, Vain is the one I was really interested in but I'll have to pass if it's not really matte.

It will eventually matte down. It just takes longer (much like several other lip tars) to do so. I was saying that you could speed the process up by blotting it down or dusting with translucent powder. But initially...it's going to have a more shiny appearance. It doesn't take as long as I noticed Christine from Temptalia say (seems like she said several hours) but it will take at least an hour give or take to matte down some. Not something unique to this color as I've seen it happen with several...but if you're expecting something like MAC retro matte quick after application you're not going to get that.

Is the application as tricky as Temptalia claims? ETA: I'm getting the damn shades mixed up. Pagan is the one I was interested in. Both of them got a low grade from Temptalia anyway, so. Do you know about Pagan?

I got all 6 of them. I find that a lot of Temptalia's complaints or observations don't match up with my own. I didn't find any of them to be tricky when it came to application. Pagan definitely wasn't tricky. It's darker than I expected but that's not bad. It's "blackened" just like it says lol. With that one I know I can pull out more of purple if I wanted to simply by adding a little Feathered but it's fine as is. I didn't have any of the issues she mentioned other than staining (typical of a dark color). Definitely don't think it deserved a low grade like she gave.

Thanks ladies for the recommendation to check out Beautylish. I decided to get Covet and Pagan. I got tired of waiting for Sephora to get them. I am tempted by Manhunter but orange isn't my best lip color.

Please can someone help me with my dilemma? I already own the Too Faced Melted liquid lipsticks in Coral and Violet, but I have been looking at the OCC Lip Tars from the Plastic Passion collection in Kimber and Rollergirl. My question is.... Are they different enough to warrant me buying them? They do look pretty similar to the Melted lipsticks I have mentioned, but as I am buying online, it is hard for me to get a proper comparison. Do you guys have any suggestions please? Thank you!!

Are the bottom 2 the OCC ones? They look more opaque to me I guess, but the colours are very similar. Thank you Erine

I got my Technopagan today and it's sooooo beautiful! This is the best light I could get today, it is the perfect Blurple that I've been looking for! It is more vivid in non-natural lighting.
I think @erine1881 has just convinced me that I need Vain too from that picture...
