Makeup Show Find: OCC Lip Tar

The Makeup Show showcased an amazing mix of well known brands along with many up and comers. I mentioned Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics quickly in my show recap on Saturday but their Lip Tar ($12.50) is worth its own post.
This innovative formula is the perfect marriage of lipstick and gloss. Lip Tar is intensely pigmented - so just a dab will do you and while it goes on smoothly and moist (like a gloss), it dries to a satin finish (like a lipstick.)
The formula is rich in vitamin E and Hemp Oil, so Lip Tar is good for your lips too!
The only con I can think of is the very simple packaging – it’s perfectly servicable but nothing fancy (see left, the label is on the back). And when it comes to makeup, I AM a sucker for gorgeous packaging. But I dig this product so much, I’ll make an exception.
Lip Tar is available in 12 shades – and some are specifically made for mixing, like the traffic-stopping Traffic (a bold bright yellow) and Tarred (an opaque solid black) while others can be worn right off the rack like Grandma (a classic and totally on-trend 1950’s coral.)
