I think my Sybil lip tar has turned
I noticed when I put it on it was very separated but I thought I just hadn't got it mixed well enough. But then I noticed it has that god awful old lipstick smell and my lips taste terrible after using it. Sad day

I can't believe Nordstrom got rid of the lip tar tubes.
Never mind, it looks like OCC is discontinuing the lip tar tubes along with a whole bunch of shades.
It sucks that Nordstrom never had a clearance for these because I don't want to pay $42.99 shipping (the regular shipping btw) on OCC's site for a $9 lip tar.

I knew there was a sale for the classic lip tars but I had no clue that these shades were apparently discontinued and have just been "rereleased" for a limited time.

A few of shades were made permanent over the summer in the squeeze tubes. Then they were added to the perm rtw line. This new marketingI knew there was a sale for the classic lip tars but I had no clue that these shades were apparently discontinued and have just been "rereleased" for a limited time.

Im not a fan of the new packaging either...idk what was the point of them permanently switching over. I wanted belladonna in the squeeze tube so I sought them out on Beautylish!

I thought they initially said that classic tubes weren't going away. I assumed that meant all colors would still be in the classic tubes. Belladonna was the only color I forgot to order :sigh:

Yes, they did say that at first! At some point they decided to get rid of the tubes altogether (though personally I suspected this when I couldn't find the tubes on Nordstrom right after the rtw was initially released...)--hence the sale last month on all the original tubes. None of the authorized retailers are carrying the classic tubes anymore either.I thought they initially said that classic tubes weren't going away.

As of yesterday ACW had belladonna in the tube.

Hey y'all I have a question, maybe it's already answered somewhere but I'm in a hurry and I can't check right now So I was GOING to throw all my OCC lippies out after 6 months like you're supposed to, then 6 months turned into a year, and now it's like two years, and they're actually all still perfectly good as long as I mix them well before using. But it would make it a LOT easier if I could get a little BB in there or something like they have in nail polishes. Have any of you tried that? Is there a way to get a BB in there? and does the BB react with the product?

are you talking about a little black ball? How are you going to get it in there? (curious)

Exactly my problem! I could maybe get one tiny enough to shove through the end, but then it won't be heavy enough to be useful. So now I'm thinking I can punch a little hole in the side somewhere and pop it in, then just put tape and adhesive over it. I do a lot of construction and electrical work, so I think I can come up with something solid hat will withstand the pressure. IF that works, I still need to know what kind of ball to put in there that won't rust or something and ruin the product. Because right now I'm just like massaging them and shaking them for like ten minutes before use, and it's so annoying. But the worst part is then I get some of the pigment and some of the liquid but not in equal amounts until the second squeeze, so every time I do that, I'm upsetting the balance of the product for next time. There won't be equal parts oil to color or something. AND this isn't just because they're getting older, most of them were separating like that in the first or second month. And that's fine, I don't care, IF I have a way to quickly mix them back up!

I don't think the mixing balls are made for lip products. The lip tars are made to remix in their own just by flioping the tube about 5mins before use. If that's not working for you, I'd recommend repackaging them into a standard lupgloss tube like OCC themselves have down. That's way you can just remix them with the wand.Hey y'all I have a question, maybe it's already answered somewhere but I'm in a hurry and I can't check right now

That's a better idea. Do you know if you get good product transfer when you squeeze them out into new containers? Or can I rinse them a little with water and then let the water evaporate?

I don't know about the water part. You just need to squeeze them into the empty lipgloss tube and that's it. All of the product transfers just fine. I just did this for 3 tubes Abdul love it. Black Dahlia is still separates, but it's easier to mix now.
