If you have Tarred lip tar and the clear one you can make your own black gloss (or even if you mix Tarred with your favorite non-silicone based lip balm). Just a thought to consider if it's something you want now versus hoping they come out with a black one. I imagine if it's not part of the Fall collection it might not happen until next year if at all. Just guessing.
My Fragmented lip tars arrived this morning! Had to immediately do a quick swatch lol
Thanks for the swatch butterflyeyes, it's gorgeous!My Fragmented lip tars arrived this morning! Had to immediately do a quick swatch lol
My friend said that these were at the booth that was showcasing this painting and other artwork that this gallery carries so it was fitting that OCC included the pic of the painting with this lip tar. If I'm not mistaken, the whole Fall collection releasing in August is part of the Fragmented Alice collection so there might be other pics from paintings to go with those lip tars. I'm excited about the ones that OCC teased us with via Instagram!Thanks for the swatch butterflyeyes, it's gorgeous!I also really like that they've put Gail Potocki's painting on the carton inside the packaging.
You and me both! Can't wait to hear more about the fall collection
I really hope that this color is available at my local Sephora(s). It seems my area only carries a couple OCC items and damns the rest to other stores and online. I can't justify a 2 hour trek to a different sephora, and my situation doesn't allow me to shop online. :/My Fragmented lip tars arrived this morning! Had to immediately do a quick swatch lol
If I'm not mistaken, when the collection releases it will be in Sephora stores also. Only problem is that a lot of people are still saying their stores don't have a lot of product. I don't have a Sephora locally and I haven't been to any of the Atlanta area ones recently. If your situation for online ordering is due to not having a credit card something to consider if you would like to order online is buying a prepaid refillable credit card (like one from Wal-Mart). That way you can't spend any more than you have on the card and it allows you to have access to things that your local store may not carry. Just a thought.
No, it's not that the issue is that Sephora won't have it. It's just, the Sephoras nearby don't carry the line except for a couple items. I know many Sephoras carry the full line, but the ones near where I live don't. If I were to go to a Sephora that carries the full OCC line, it'd be a 2 hour drive. :/ My local Sephoras don't carry Bite Beauty nor do they carry Becca Cosmetics either.
No problem. It just tends to be common for people to not like using CC's for shopping. Well hopefully your local Sephora will get the collection.
If I'm not mistaken, this colour was a comic-con exclusive.
Oh no what a shame
If I'm not mistaken, this colour was a comic-con exclusive.
According to Temptalia's write up, it debuted at the Con, but will be in Sephora and at the OCC Flagship next month I'm actually thinking about getting it and sheeting it out with a gloss. Spring Bean was an amazing color on brown girls and I was sorry to see it go!Oh no what a shameReally wanted this.
I emailed OCC to ask and their answer is vague. They say it was initially made exclusively for Comic-con but no final decision has been made on it's full release. The Fragmented Alice collection is a separate collection for now (no clarification on the name of the collection for the teaser pics being hash tagged as Moderncraft and if it is the same collection as the Fragmented Alice collection or not). So the final answer is unknown lol. They may be trying to see how it faired at Comic-com or see how people are reacting to the bloggers reviews.
See with OCC, I feel like anything goes when it comes to the colors they sell. I can't imagine them saying something is too outrageous and didn't do well at an event so we'll scrap it. They are know for colors like this. I also don't think a comic book/sci fi/fantasy/cosplay/etc event is a true indicator of how it will sell, lol. I hope we see it as part of their full line though, especially with Halloween coming up, and the fact you can use the color on the skin as well.
Well the way it was explained to me is that it's whole purpose of creation was for this exclusive collaboration, NOT for their regular sales (much like January Rising was created not for regular sales but for that specific project). So the idea is not too far fetched that it might not be made available for everyone. They clearly never planned on it because they don't have an answer as to if they will release it for further sell. Hopefully they will since the email said they are still deciding. I don't think it's a question of the color being too over the top. It's if they want to produce more or if what they made is it (again...like JR). Just my thoughts...
So there's still a chance we're able to get it?
I see what you are saying. I take the vagueness of them not knowing as typical, we don't want the fans/consumers to know yet; or the I can't confirm yet type of response that businesses do. Maybe they just want to keep the aura of exclusivity going, who knows. Temptalia gets a lot of PR and product from OCC, so I assumed she would have the scoop.
I hope so too!So there's still a chance we're able to get it?I really hope it'll also appear on the OCC website then, cause that's the only place i'm able to order from.
