Sephora: Pro's Picks Lip Tar Set

OCC (Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics) now has lip tar sets @ Sephora for $49.00 each.  Each set comes with 5 lip tars and a lip brush.  The lip tars themselves have gone up in price and are now $18.00 each.  I think this is an amazing deal since you get 5 full size lip tars for $49.00.  If you were to pay full price for 5 lip tars they would be $90.00 plus shipping.  This is definitely a steal.  I plan on picking up a set as soon as possible.

The first set includes the colors:  Pretty Boy (super-rich fuchsia), Melange (terracotta neutral), Vintage (deep burgundy), Stalker (true blue based red), Grandma (classic coral) and a lip brush.

The second set includes the colors:  Kava Kava (medium peach), Lydia (darkroom plum), Hoochie (vibrant magenta), Pretty Boy (super-rich fuchsia), Iced (pure white frost) and a lip brush.

Beauty Pick of the Week!

For this weeks beauty pick I chose Lip Tar from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, because of the quality, the pigment, and the packaging. OCC probably makes the best lip product right now. Lip tars are so pigmented and photograph so well you might as well say goodbye to regular lip glosses and lipsticks. Even when wearing this product it feels like you have nothing on your lips and it stays on for a very long time. I also love how they smell minty as well. Lip tars come in a tube for easy access because all you have to do is squeeze them. I still recommend a lip brush for application since putting it on straight from the tube can be a bit messy. The only thing I found I didn't like about these is if you don't use them for a while and they sit, they tend to separate. If you shake them up or flip them over, they will mix again and be fine for application. One lip tar goes for $13.00 right now at occmakeup.com and is filled with .27 FL OZ of product, but not too worry because these lip tars will last forever. You only need a tiny bit of this product, it definitely lasts. I do find it easier to apply this product on models than using a lip gloss or lipstick. You can also mix colors and make your own custom color with any lip tar, so it's definitely worth it if you want a certain color that they don't have. I would recommend these to any one and everyone should have at least one of these in their professional kit, purse, or personal kit. Lip tar is also Vegan and Cruelty-Free for those who are animal loves.

OCC Nail Polish - Strumpet

Not new, but I wanted to review this any way. I've review their nail polish before for Tattoo a while back. This is still some of the best nail polish I have ever used! So pigmented and you only need a little to cover one nail. Each polish is $8.00 and they also have an mua discount, in which you can get 20% off.

OCC Loose Colour Concentrates - 11 swatches

Well I actually took the time today to go through my OCC pigments collection and decided to get some swatches for you. I'm totally in love with OCC (Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics), they are probably one of the best makeup lines around in my opinion. You get amazing results using very little of their product, which means it lasts way longer. These loose pigments sell for $11.50 each and come in 2.5g clear round jars. Unlike most loose pigments these do have the sifter holes so it's a lot easier to apply. I would still recommend using a loose white powder under the eyes to catch the falling shadow or use a tissue. You can apply these wet or dry, if you apply them wet you get a way more vibrant color pay off. Their pigments are very pigmented and bright so it's great for photography or for every day use to get noticed.

Below are 11 colors, from left to right: frigid, cherry bomb, glisten, rime, static, pollencount, atmosphere, chlorophyll, cavu blue, heroic, and wasabi. (Cherry bomb and pollencount aren't recommended for the eye area.) For more info go to: occmakeup.com
