» Overall Rating - It is described as a rich terracotta with vivid orange undertones. This lip tar is part of OCC's Sci-Fi Lullabies Collection. It has a matte finish. This particular color was inspired by the book/movie A Clockwork Orange. I am in love with this color! Perfect for Spring & Summer. Not too vibrant and not too pale.

IMATS 2013 Haul

Hey dolls! I know I am a bit late in posting my IMATS Haul but right after my mini vacay to Pasadena I have been working non stop! I had the best time at IMATS this year and it was really amazing getting to see everyone, meet new people, visit the different brands and admire all of the talented makeup artists & special fx artists all under one roof! If you have an IMATS Haul blog post or YouTube video please leave your links in the comments below. I would love to watch them all!

Let's begin!

Velour Lashes - I have been wanting to try these lashes for the longest time. The price was definitely holding me back. I was extremely happy to see Velour Lashes at IMATS and to find out that their lashes were on sale! I was immediately attracted to this style which is called "Oops! Naughty Me" I love how they looked layered and they are longer in the middle. I usually wear a winged liner and I love having more volume in the center of my lids. They feel so luxe and look very natural. 

Lit Cosmetics - You all know how much I love glitter right? Lit Cosmetics has the best glitter out there. I love that you get to chose the cut size of the glitter. I usually get size 2 and 3. From left to right I got Peacock, Hot Chocolate & Twisted Sistah. I can not wait to incorporate these glitter into my looks. I have a difficult time photographing glitter so if any of my fellow Beauty Bloggers have any tips I would greatly appreciate that.

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics - OCC was packed. I was pretty bummed because I wanted to try out their concealers but it was really hard to get a chance to grab any testers. I knew that I wanted these two lip tars in Vintage and Hoochie. Both of these lip tars are must haves for your collection. I can see myself wearing Vintage everyday. It is the perfect deep red. Hoochie is lighter than Belladonna and is more on the magenta side. Love them both!

Sugarpill - We may sometimes think to ourselves, "Why don't I own this already?" and that is exactly how I feel about Goldilux Loose Eyeshadow from Sugarpill. I would see this color featured in so many gorgeous looks. I really have no idea what took me so long to get it but I am so happy that I am finally a proud owner of Goldilux! Let me tell you, Sugarpill had this AMAZING palette for sale that featured all of their eyeshadows rolled up into this mega palette. I was so close to buying it but since I already own the Burning Heart palette I just couldn't do it. When that palette does hit the Sugarpill website I may consider it again.

Lime Crime - So many items that I wanted to get! Let's start off with her newly reformulated and repackaged Eyeshadow Helper. I loved the original primer but the concept of needing a spatula to scoop out the primer every time was a bit time consuming. I love that it is in a tube now. I have already used this primer and it works just like the original! Next on the list was Poisonberry lipstick. This lipstick is beyond. When I run out which I probably will because I feel like wearing it every day I will definitely buy back ups. Drum roll please...Velvetines!!! I can not even begin to describe how awesome this product truly is. I bought Red Velvet and Suedeberry. They look like a gloss but in reality they are like a matte lipstick. They are not dry whatsoever. I wore Red Velvet out and by the end of the night it was just as vibrant as it was when I first applied it. This is my honest feedback. I always prep my lips with lip balm but there are some matte lipsticks out there that even with my lip balm tend to get dried out and make my lips feel tight. I do not get that feeling with the Velvetines. The bad news is that they are currently sold out on the Lime Crime website but they will be back in stock in March. Lime Crime also hinted about adding more colors to their lineup. I can't even.

Not Pictured - Sadly, there were a few products that I did not get a chance to photograph up close. (a.k.a I forgot) I also got Model In A Bottle setting spray, Sigma E40 Tapered Blending Brush, Sigma F05 Small Contour Brush, Ardell Wispies which also came with a free large makeup case.

OCC Heroine Lip Tar Swatches & Review

Hi everyone! I am super excited to post some lip swatches of a majority of the brand spanking new lip tars from Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics. I purchased 4 out of the 6 new lip tars from LeCosmetique.com. The two lip tars that I did not get were Psycho and Marion. Reason being was that I felt like I had colors quite similar to those colors. I might just cave in the future and purchase them but for now I will use my close dupes!

The new lip tars come from OCC's Heroine Collection for their Fall/Winter Campaign. Along with the new lip tars the Heroine collection features new colour concentrate, creme concentrate, cosmetic glitter, and their ever so glamorous nail lacquers. I love this whole collection! I definitely recommend that you all give it a look!

Black Dahlia Blackest Blackened Red - This is my favorite lip tar out of the new collection. It is a dark red that would stunning on all skin tones. It looks almost black in the tube but once applied it lightens up to this deep red. You need to blend it a few times with your lip brush to even out the color. I would also suggest using a lip liner or a reverse lip liner. It did feather a tad bit around my cupid's bow but I did not use any lip liner.

Lydia Dark Room Plum - I was beyond excited to see that they named this lip tar after Lydia Deetz from Beetlejuice. This color seems the most daytime wearable out the bunch. It is more on the pink side than plum in my opinion but is still beautiful. It would go great with any makeup look.

Starling Deeply Rusted Auburn - This one reminds me of fall/winter. I think of Halloween & Thanksgiving. I don't have a color quite like this one. It had a bit of a more watery texture. I don't know if I got a bad one but it still had awesome color pay off! 

Sybil Midnight Brownout - Sybil is a deep gorgeous brown. This color was opaque and did not feather. It is definitely a statement lip which makes it that much more awesome. I can not wait to pair this with an intense liner look. Definitely a great deep, dark color for fall!

Face of The Day - Smoky Peach

Hey everyone! Here is another look.I was definitely inspired by this gorgeous necklace that I picked up from Forever 21! I mixed Kava Kava and Grandma lip tars again. This time I would say that it was 90% Kava Kava and 10% Grandma. This is a really easy look that I did using my favorite Greed palette from Wet'n'Wild.

Face of The Day - Mixing Lip Tars

Hello everyone! Today's look was actually inspired by this gorgeous lip color that I mixed using two OCC Lip Tars! I mixed Grandma and Kava Kava. I would say it was 30% Grandma and 70% Kava Kava. I love it so much. I think I found my new favorite lip color. I am going to start mixing more lip tars together to see what I come up with! I used the Greed Palette from Wet'N'Wild's Color Icon collection which I have just found out that it was limited edition! So sad about that.

Have any of you mixed any lip tars together to create a new color? Please share in the comments I would LOVE to see all of your different creations!

Shopping Goodies - OCC Lip Tars from LeCosmetique.com

Hey dolls! So excited to share some swatches on the new OCC Lip Tars I ordered from LeCosmetique.com! I love that site because as a freelance makeup artist it can get super expensive building your kit. I signed up for their Pro discount and it helped out a lot! I also ordered a concealer palette that I can't wait to try. I definitely think you should take a look because that site has a variety of makeup goodies!

Most of these colors are from the new Spring collection from OCC. From the picture above the colors are from left to right: NSFW, Grandma, Ophelia, Belladonna and Kava Kava. I love their new packaging. I love the new matte design and new tip. We also get a bit more of product which is awesome. I am on a mission to own all of the colors. I love mixing colors. Ok on to the swatches!!

Kava Kava

» Price -  $14.00

» Overall Rating - NSFW classic red! A must have in your kit or collection for the perfect red. Grandma is a gorgeous coral that is perfect for Spring and Summer. I can't wait to wear this out. Ophelia is a soft pink that would look great with a smokey eye. Belladonna is an ultraviolet purple that is beyond. You can wear it as is or mix it up with a pink to soften it up. Definitely a statement lip. Kava Kava is my new obsession. Everyday color with a peachy touch. I love OCC Lip Tars and definitely recommend these!!!!

Totally Loving - Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo

Hey loves! I am super mega ultra late on trying out the Maybelline Eye Studio Color Tattoo 24HR Cream Eyeshadow. Whew, that was a long one. I took advantage of the sweet deal that Ulta has which is buy one get one 50% off. They have amazing staying power. I wore them without primer and they did not budge. I bought Bold Gold, Fierce & Tangy, Painted Purple and Edgy Emerald.

Here is a look that I did using Bold Gold. I am also obsessed with orange lips for spring so I mixed OCC's Lip Tar in Banjee with MAC's Viva Glam Gaga 2. Excuse le messy hair. =)

Goodness gracious! I wonder what took me so long to finally try these amazing lip tars out! When I went to IMATS I kept getting complimented on my lips and even late into the evening I was still getting stopped on how vivid the color was! I was wearing the lip tar in Anime and I can't even start to tell you how much I love this color!

A month or two ago I found out that Obessive Compulsive Cosmetics were having a 20% off sale and I knew that was the perfect time to try these much hyped about lip tars. I absolutely love them! I just dab a tiny bit on my lip brush and it fills my entire lips. For IMATS I put on Anime around 7:00 a.m and did not have to reapply it for the entire super hot in Pasadena & Convention center day! I am definitely going to order more. I highly recommend these.
