Aww thank you Kristin Bacon =) I completely agree with you.
Just sucks that I'm going to have to buy these online instead of going to the store to try them out since I don't have a Sephora near by womp womp

Lip tars are my most recent beauty obsession, appropriately enough. I tried Role Play and Rollergirl in-store and wound up purchasing the little primer-Stalker-RX set at Sephora while on my vacation recently visiting family in Oregon (no sales tax, woo!)... then came home and immediately ordered Fragmented from OCC's site because it was on clearance and how could I resist acid green?
What I need are little pots/clamshells that I can keep custom blends in so that I'm not mixing Stalker and RX fresh on my lips every time I want a purple... it would be nice to have some blends on hand. Although, I'd wear either of them separately, too. Anyway, I haven't even opened the pack yet but I need to so I can swatch and compare my three blue lipsticks... and all my reds.
I like Fragmented, but it's only acid green very briefly on my lips before it becomes a beige-with-gold-shimmer... I guess that's the green and natural pink of my skin canceling each other out? Non-lip swatches remain bright, bright green, but on my lips it doesn't. So I've got to try it with the primer to see if that changes things, but honestly because it becomes such a wearable shade for me, I'm not put out at all... It's like a chameleon lip color!
Fragmented just put on-- ignore my awful sunburn. I didn't feel like covering it up with anything that day... (I tend to have a lot of redness all the time)
Here's fragmented while it's still visibly green.
Fragmented within maybe an hour of application? It removes most of the pink from my lips and leaves a subtle shimmer of gold behind.
And as a bonus:
Role Play and Rollergirl-- not in remotely the same lighting, but oh well. Definitely a huge fan of both-- I have a dress almost the EXACT color that Rollergirl is on me, and Role Play makes me feel like a babe. (plus I'm a huge D&D nerd so...)

I wanted to like OCC lip tars so bad. At Sephora, they were *extremely* generous with samples. I had enough for months of applications. But they did not last on me at all. I read so many reviews and people said they had great staying power. I'm so bummed. All these amazing colors! Argh! I feel like I'm the only one not on the colorful lip tar train. I did recently board the MAC lipstick train, so I suppose I'll be alright.

Tried my sample of Hollywood from Sephora today. Wish I'd had time before running out to do a really bold eye to go with it, because otherwise it made my face kind of uniformly beige from enough of a distance... but up close it had a really nice gold sparkle, so I did like it... and I'm interested in mixing it with others now to see what I get, though I don't know if it will be as successful an experiment as it is just on its own. Still, experimenting is part of the fun.
After I try more I'll have to get pictures up but I kind of want to wait until I've got more than one product tested, since I have two new lip tars and four samples...
I was pleased with how budge-proof it was. A little bit of gold sparkle came off on my straw, which I wiped away, and then when I took another drink, nothing wore off and I still had plenty of shimmer, which is the least any lip product has ever worn off for me.

I would love to see a picture of Hollywood. I think golds pair well with burgundy, wine, and purple eye colors.

I've heard that they NYX lipsticks are very slippy. What are your opinions?Nyx Wicked Lippie in Betrayal is a dead ringer for OCC Pagan Lip Tar

Ooh, lucky me, I have a bunch of purples... I'll definitely give that a try next time I wear it, thanks!I would love to see a picture of Hollywood. I think golds pair well with burgundy, wine, and purple eye colors.
And I've finally got my pictures uploaded from phone to computer, so here are the first three lip tars tried out!
Hollywood! (I hate the pictures I have of me in it, because I couldn't find my usual foundation, slapped on an old thing, and found out it was expired and it got all patchy and gross, so I apologize for that-- the one that shows off the lip tar the best is also the one that shows the area where my expired stuff got the worst)
Hollywood is way more neutral than pretty much anything I tend to wear, but I really do like the subtle gold sheen. It does settle into lip lines a bit without priming, but is not the worst offender. However, I would definitely put something under it next time.
Sebastian! Here it is directly after application, still wet and everything. Also, I'm half asleep in this picture... I was heading out way early to go to a convention.
Sebastian after blotting. I feel like I took off a little too much of the center of the lip, but I REALLY liked having a grey lip! It reminded me of the Cardassians from Star Trek: DS9 a bit... (oops, my dork is showing)
Sebastian with some natural light finally hitting me (we started driving pre-dawn, haha-- so this is me in the back of the van, looking a little blurry)
And this is Sebastian about six hours later without touching up-- still going pretty strong, even if the center of the lip is clearly rosier... After thirteen hours, it was totally gone save for a little grey smudge in each corner, but I don't expect ANY lipstick I own to last that long. My mother won't buy anything that doesn't promise it can last twenty-four, I'm not nearly as fussy about longevity.
And finally (for now...)
Technopagan! (day two of the convention, didn't even bother with foundation)
I love this lip tar. It feathered on me a bit more than others, and it definitely did not go budgeproof the way that Hollywood did. Even when it was barely a stain on my lips after being wiped off, if I touched my mouth, I'd come away with little flakes of shiny purple-blue. And it settles into lip lines more than any other, so definitely line and prime with this one, but the color is SO fantastic. And the finish is just really great as well. I adore it.
Sunlight-- you can see how badly it sinks into lines (another early morning where I had no time to stop and prime), but you can also see how gorgeously metallic it is and how different colors get picked up more in different lighting)
After about nine hours I did my best to remove it before going to dinner, and this is the color my lips resolutely stayed until after hash browns were consumed. (greasy food may be murder on lipstick, but sometimes it's a mercy killing)

Ooh, I bet they will! I haven't tried my Black Metal Dahlia yet, but I think dark lipsticks on fair skin are beautiful (and Role Play works on me and I'm about as fair as it gets, so I think it should look great on you!)Just orderd my first pair of Lip tars!
