Hello Divas,
Obessive Compulsive Cosmetics' Lip Tars have been all the buzz for the last couple months. I have seen review after review stating great things about the intensly creamy, opaque liquid lipsticks. I have also seen tons of reviews about how awesome the color selection and color payoff are. While I do find these Lip tars lightweight and awesome. I'm not totally impressed by the feel and application of the Lip Tars. I tested out "Uber", which is a great creamy nude color but, it felt like someone took baby oil gel and plastered it on my lips. I also don't like the fact that in order to get the most out of the colors it has to be applied with a lip brush. While some people like to personally apply lip products with lips brushes (which I only use on clients). I personally I don't.
Here's how OCC describes there Lip Tar product. 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, OCC Lip Tar contains an unprecedented amount of pigment, so 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, OCC Lip Tars come in concise range of colors (and black and white!) 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 only Castor Oil, Hemp Oil, Peppermint Oil, Vitamin E, and intense color pigments, OCC Lip Tar feels as good on the lips as it looks!
Overall, I love the color selection and vibrancy of the the Lip Tars. I think they will work perfect in my makeup kit and they will add adventure to the lips for photoshoots, etc. However, because a lip brush is needed to apply, they fail my "pick up and use" test. I will be buying more of these to mix and play with so to me its a win/win relationship.
Verdict
Product: 5 out of 5
Packaging: 3 out of 5
Overall: 4 out of 5

Lip Tar rocks I love it, love it! I have 5 colors and I can't wait to use them!
Thanks for this review. I did a google search looking for one covered by a WOC.
I think I'll order 3 - a nude, the violet and the bright pink and make do with those.
@ VexInTheCity, I'll be posting swatches soon as I just brought a few more colors.
