Obsessive Compulsive Lip Tar Review

When I got home yesterday, I was greeted by a package I have been waiting feverishly for! A few weeks ago, I placed an order for a few tubes of Lip Tar by Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, and I have been waiting on pins and needles ever since. Needless to say I was stoked to see if they lived up to the hype.

What Is It: [according to the website] 

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 stands up to the scrutiny of Hi-Def Video and Digital Photography, without ever looking (or feeling!) heavy. Meant to be mixed, Lip Tar comes in concise array of colors for a limitless selection of shades made by you!

Like all of our products, OCC Lip Tar is 100% Vegan and Cruelty-Free, and is also free of parabens and other harsh preservatives. 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!

Review:

If you are looking for highly-pigmented lip color, then this is definitely for you. These Lip Tars go on like lip gloss, however they dry with a satin-like finish. I have a hard time finding lip-color that pops against my skin, so these Lip Tars are pretty much going to be my Holy Grail of lip colors. My only qualm about this product is that it STAINS! It will pretty much stain anything it comes into contact with, including your skin [a good scrubbing will remove it].

I also recommend applying this with a lip brush versus your fingers to get more of an even, precise application. Also, while $12.50 may seem like a lot for a small tube of product, a little goes a very long way!

I only used about this much; and at this rate, this should last a year or more.

Demure was definitely one of my favorites of the bunch. This bright Fuchsia color was just the color I have been looking for.

NSFW was a close second, I loved how bright this blue-based red was against my skin - I will definitely rotate between this and my beloved Ruby Woo.

I thought this was going to be more of a plummy color, but it was more brown. Because these Lip Tars are mixable, I may add some NSFW, and a bit of black to make it a plummy fall color.
