L/R: Cha Cha, Memento, Hush, Divine, Pageant, Trollop |
Here's the complete set of my OCC Liptars, all on the one page, with swatches.
Cha Cha had separated in the tube, which is why the colour looks a bit runny. After squeezing out the oily top, the rest of it is fine. |
Cha Cha: It's a pastel orange colour which is very difficult to wear on its own. In fact I've never actually worn it on its own before. That said, it's a great mixer colour, i.e. you can mix it with different colours to change the tone or shade of it.
Memento: It's a muted MLBB pink. It's not really my favourite, though there is nothing wrong with the colour itself. I prefer my lip colours to have more of an impact, and this one is a bit too dull on my lips. It is however great at toning down other brighter colours, such as Divine.
Hush: This is one of my favourites of the lot. It's a wonderful nudey pink that is very easy to wear. It's very similar in colour to MAC Hue lipstick. In fact HERE is a post where I compared the two.
Divine: This is a bright candy pink with fluoro coral undertones. This is one of the newer shades I've acquired. I think this would be great in summer with a tan and with the sun shining brightly. But for now this looks great dulled down with Memento. HERE is a look with that combo.
Pageant: This is one of my newest additions too, and is my favourite of the lot. It's a bright fuchsia pink with blue undertones. It's not for the faint hearted, but if you're into colours like MAC Girl About Town and NARS Schiapp, then this is for you.
Trollop: I'm actually quite disappointed with this colour. I was expecting a more vibrant red, but even though it looks quite bright in the swatches, in real life it looks kinda dull on me. It has brown undertones, which doesn't appeal to me. I'll be using this as a mixer colour as well.
What I like about the Liptars:
- Long lasting
- Great choice of colours
- Can be mixed with other colours to create unique shades
- A little goes a long way
What I dislike:
- They are fiddly to apply. You HAVE to use a lipbrush to apply, there is simply no other way without making a mess of your lips
- It can leave a dry ring around the inner lips as it wears off
Have you tried any OCC Liptars? What colours do you have and like?
Gorgeous swatches, Memento and Divine look really pretty! Have added them both to my wishlist. Love the new blog layout and design too, looks great! x
ReplyDeleteGreat swatches Lilit! I'm really lusting after Memento now..
ReplyDeleteMy favourite is Melange

ReplyDeleteAlso love your new layout, so nice!

Great posting and fantastic swatches!
ReplyDeleteWe just love the Lip Tar, they're so much fun to work with and one can do a lot of crazy combinations!
@Sidney - i think you can buy them directly from their website or from All Cosmetics Wholesale website. They're very versatile to work with!
ReplyDelete@EyeGraffiti - thank you so much, I love mixing my colours too, you can get so many different combinations out of just a handful of colours.

Wow!! Amazing swatches!!
ReplyDeleteI really want to try lip tars! I think hush is going to be my first purchase!
ReplyDeleteGreat swatches- I have wanted some lip tars for a while but haven't taken the plunge yet. I really want Cha Cha in a serious way- knowing me and my orange obsession I would probably try to wear it on its own, but I love your idea of using it to mix with other colors.
ReplyDeleteI tried these at IMATS in London but they were so messy so I didn't purchase! Looking at all the colours makes me want them again! (: I really like the look of Pageant and Trollop x
ReplyDeleteI'm lovin' Pageant and Trollop!
ReplyDeletewow lovely collection.
ReplyDeleteI only have Beta and Interlace.
I love both of them and sometimes I mixed them and when mixed they look exactly like Cha Cha actually.

Great post, I've been thinking of getting some of these for a while.
ReplyDeleteHush and Divine look great!
I really want to try these lip tars, because everyone raves about them. Great swatches! Memento, Divine and Pageant are gorgeous! xx
ReplyDelete@Catanya - thanks hun
ReplyDelete@Kelly - Hush is beautiful, it's one of my faves and very easy to wear.
@Krystal - LOL, yes you probably would get Cha Cha and it would look amazing on you on its own!
@Heather - You only need to use a tiny bit of these, otherwise it really does get so messy.
@EV - Pageants my fave! I'm still getting used to Trollop though, it pulls a bit brown on me.
@Mercedes - I think I've seen Interlace on your blog and I was so tempted to buy it after seeing it there, but then I mixed Cha Cha and Hush and it looked very much like Interlace so saved some money there! LOL
@Bethany - thank hun, I know you asked for swatches so I'm glad you found this useful.
@Roiver - thanks so much, they're really good and will last you for ages as you only need to use a tiny bit.
@Joy - thanks heaps, they are all great colours but Pageant is def my favourite of the bright ones.

Lilit, I am LOVING the new look of your blog!!! I have never tried this line before (nor seen it anywhere here) but I am really digging Divine and Pageant. Those two colors are beautiful
ReplyDeletexo
ooo I just loooove OCC--my fave colors are Divine and Pageant :)) great review darling!
ReplyDeleteLove the post, but LOVE the new blog design :)
ReplyDeletePageant is on my to get list, as well as most of their bright shades :) I really like how Cha Cha looks on its own... similar to the Captivating Elf Essential Lipstick
ReplyDeleteI so badly want to get my hands on some...hopefully during IMATS:)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this. I was planning on buying a few of the lip tars after seeing them on your blog but it didn't seem worth it to only buy the two I was SURE I wanted. Now I want more!
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing. I'm going to have to get them now! I love Pageant.
ReplyDeletei have never tried these before, but the colors are gorgeous! i love the coral shade and all the bright pinks! just gorgeous-and you have very nice lips! :)
