I bought these two babies at IMATS (see previous post!) and I have already fallen deeply in love with both of them.
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tars are an immensely pigmented liquid which are half way between a lipstick and a gloss. They apply as a creamy liquid but dry on the lips leaving you with a stunning lip colour and a slight sheen. They are not sticky in the slightest and they have a minty smell. Because they are ridiculously pigmented, you only need a tiny blob to cover your whole lips. It’s best to apply this with a lip brush, because they can get a little messy applying straight from the tube.
Divine | Grandma |
Divine – Described as a ‘True Pink Flamingo’, both myself, Lily and Milly bought this Lip Tar because it is so beautiful. It’s a very bright, creamy, milkshake type of pink. Because it is so bright I find that it does accentuate any dry parts of my lips and it takes work to make it look perfect with a lip brush, but that’s forgivable because of how pretty it is. This really brightens up my face and looks great with a smokey eye.
Grandma – I have been wearing this every day since purchasing it. I am absolutely in love with this product, the colour is stunning and looks incredible on pale skin. It’s described as a ‘Classic Coral’, and it looks like an coral red with a hint of orange on my lips. I can’t explain how much I love this colour and I received a lot of compliments on it at an event that I attended yesterday!
Mother Snooks also complimented this yesterday, saying ‘that’s a really pretty colour, it looks like a lipstick that Grandma used to wear’ (my Grandma and I obviously have amazing taste in lipstick shades, she used to wear a lot of orange based reds), and then I was like ‘OMGZ it’s called Grandma!’. Very weird. Anyway!
What I think – OCC Lip Tars have completely lived up to my expectations and I now want more! I love the colour shades available and even more I love the fact that you can mix them to create custom shades. I do like to wear a lip balm underneath the Lip Tars as they do feel slightly drying on and you definitely need to apply with a lip brush to get an even and perfect coverage. I’d say they last 2 hours on the lips, which is probably the only con I can find with them, I feel like I need to reapply them quite often (maybe I just talk too much?) and you definitely need to reapply after eating.
You can purchase them at this website here for £8.95, I bought mine at IMATS for £7 each.
Have you got any OCC Lip Tars? Which colour would be your perfect lipstick?

I love both colours! Grandma looks so pretty but how do you thinkthese compare to the sleek pout paints?

I love Grandma, such a gorgeous colour
These look amazing! I love Grandma!x
Wow, Grandma is so nice – and has such a funny name for a lipstick! xxx
I got 3 of these at IMATS, and i've found the ones i got last ages! I ate and drank and it was still perfect! So much better application and less drying than sleek pount paints imo!

I've never tried lip tars, but they look great (specially grandma) 🙂

Divine looks amazing! xoxox
These are two of my favorites from OCC. I recently went crazy and bought a ton! My favorite everyday shade is definitely Grandma. I think it looks wonderful on you. I also really love Queen, Trollop, Strumpet, and Harlot.

I really want to try some of these they have been on my wishlist for so long 😀 x
These both look amazing!! Definitely need some of these in my life xxx
Grandma Loves fab!
Divine is such a pretty colour and really suits you!
xx
I love both colors, but I don't think I could pull off Divine. I always look weird with pale shades, it doesn't go well with my skin tone 🙂
Grandma is a really gorgeous colour, but I don't know if I'd get them because of the minty smell D': They sound really lovely though and I've wanted some for a long time 🙂
They are so pigmented! You have gorgeous lips, i'm so jealous. xx
seriously in love with grandma… i was on the edge about getting lip tars… and i now fully blame you for the empitness of my bank account.
and this might sound really weird but I love your lips! haha mine are so non-existant -_-
xx
I have never tried these but got a Sleek pout paint – similar thing with worse ingredients (i read that the OCC has better ingredients…) – but I don't wear lip colours esp bright ones enough to jusify buying these lip tars! 😛
cheers,

I love both and need at least one because of all the great reviews. Thanks for sharing
I NEED Grandma in my life I think x
Grandma is gorgeous! Such a strange name for a lippy though, ha! I've got Anime, Vintage and Trollop. I think you'd love Trolop, a brighter pink, similar to Grandma. It's pretty difficult to get hold of OCC lip tars now xx
I love Grandma, its so gorgeous!
