Im OBSESSED- OCC Lip Tar Review

Hey guys…

So this weekend was my Alma Maters homecoming. Temple University homecoming is my FAVORITE time of year. I legit think we are the best university with the closest relationship. Some of this people I had not seen in almost a year so you know I had to have my hair looking good. What I’m not an expert at (but thank God I have a few friends who are) is makeup. I buy make-up like crazy but don’t do the wild designs and applications… but best believe I get my point across. I love bold lips especially. It’s a big thing that doesn’t require a lot of work.

Wearing Hoochie… Ironic since Im an angel :-)

So, let’s get to the point. I decided to step out using my Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (or OCC as it’s commonly known) Lip Tar. I won this after participating in a twitter give away 

(Shout out to @MakeupbyPatty and follow her twitter and Check her site!). 

Here is some of her work… she worked with my Favorite supermodel...  Jeanette Nicole.. Follow both their IGs at @NettyByNature and @MakeUpGyspy

I won the Purple pack. I love a purple lip. I’m not a fan of pink (tho I have about 10 pink glosses/lipsticks) so purple is my eclectic alternative. The pack consisted of 4 different shades of purple; Hoochie, Katricia, Strumpet, and Narcissus. I brought down Hoochie and Katricia to Philly and did a mix. The result? Everyone at our tailgate complimenting me on my lips.

Ignore the faces… peep the lip.

OCC is actually a 100% percent Vegan and Cruelty free make-up line. I actually heard about them a while back (like years ago) and their Lip Tar but the price deterred me. They are about $16 per tube. However, after winning these, I realize they are definitely worth the investment. I LOVE THESE THINGS! However, I didn’t realize how many people did not know about them. Any one who I told about them (which included some make up artists) gave me the BBM confused face. So here is the rundown.

Occ lip tar is not a gloss. Its not a lipstick. Honestly, I don’t know what it is. I would say its best described as a potent, extremely vibrant lip stain. Or a liquid lipstick. Its very watery and runny (I recommend applying it with a lip brush so you don’t overuse and have a to potent, feathered lip and waste this precious product lol). And it doesn’t really feel moisturizing so you might want to moisturize your lips a bit (when i say a bit… i mean like 30-45 mins) before putting it on, but at the same time it doesn’t dry your lips out. It’s extremely light, like you have nothing on. I kept checking my lips to make sure I was still wearing it, but it was definitely still there. I ate and drank and checked again, still there, and still vibrant. Here is their description of it:

“A stunning new innovation in lip color, OCC Lip Tar combines the longevity of a lipstick, with the ease of application of a gloss. Goes on slick and moist, and dries down to a satin finish. Ultra-saturated in color, Lip Tar contains an unprecedented amount of pigment - a little goes a very, very long way! An intense yet featherweight layer of color that never looks or feels heavy. Meant to be mixed, Lip Tar comes in concise array of colors for a limitless selection of shades made by you! A simple, elegant formula that contains Hemp Oil, Peppermint Oil and Vitamin E, OCC Lip Tar feels as good on the lips as it looks!

DIRECTIONS: Apply the tiniest bead of Lip Tar with our newly-included #010S Short-Handled Precision Lip Brush for complete, opaque coverage, either mixed with other shades or on its own. Applying too much product can result in feathering outside the lip line, so remember: a little goes a very long way!”
