“Apple Dilution” started with clear gloss, NSFW, and Pageant
Here’s another set of four shades! 
“Apple Dilution”
Finished!
“Apple Dilution”
“Subdued”
“Subdued” started with Traffic, Melange, and Grandma
Mix it up!
Added in Feathered
Finished!
“Subdued”
“Morose”
“Morose” started with Tarred, Katricia, and Pageant
Mix it up!
Finished!
“Morose”
Note: I found this very unwearable — much too dark, too cool. I’d probably try to fix it by adding NSFW, so it’d be more of a vampy, berryish look. See, this is what I meant by a little black at a time!
“Desert Drawn”
“Desert Drawn” started with Traffic and Melange
Mix it up!
So far…
Added Safety Orange
Finished!
“Desert Drawn”
Love apple dilution, such a gorgeous shade of pink – almost looks like a stain.
i agree!
Yes, the sade looks gorgeous on you, Christine, as well.
Apple Dilution and sunset boulevard look awesome on you!
Apple dilution rocks!
Thanks!
Thanks so much, Becky!
Thanks, Yaya!
Thanks, Wilcoa
Apple Dilution is very pretty! And I loved the way Morose looked when it was half mixed hahaha. Shame it came out so unwearable though ):
I was thinking the exact same things!
Yeah, Morose would definitely need some more work to make it wearable, LOL!
Maybe a bit of silver pigment? Still not an everyday look, but a pewter lip color would be kind of cool (for something…?)
Reduce the amount of Tarred by about half may do the trick. I’m going to be picking up Katricia & Pageant this weekend and I will find the perfect formula! Once I do I will for sure let everyone know!
Most likely! Tarred is a bit easy to go overboard with, ha!
It could be! I love the color of pewter, ha!
I ADORE Apple Dilution!
YAY
Glad ya like it, Nathalie!
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE the first one!!!!!
Thanks, Mikki!
Yes, Apple Dilution is gorgeous!!!!
Thanks, Andrea!
I couldn’t agree more with the Apple being the fave! How does it feel on lips when mixed with gloss? Bleeding factor – higher?
I wouldn’t say it bleeds any more/less. I did find that the less product you applied, the less bleeding you got, though!
Okay! Did you just use any clear gloss?
I used OCC’s Clear Gloss, but I think any would suffice!
OOH~ looks like you had a ton of fun mixing your own colours
Oh, definitely! Very creative
Apple Dilution is a winner! Did you come up with your own names? You’re really creative!!
Yes, LOL. I felt like they were SUPER cheesy! I was sooo stumped. Giving them names seemed better than saying 1, 2, 3, etc.!
Ooohh these are beautiful too! I’m loving Apple Dilution, how about darkening it a bit with Tarred to get the perfect berry colour? Same thoughts about the half mixed Morose, it looks pretty! LOL
It would definitely be pretty that way!
I LOVE Apple Dilution! Does anyone know of a lip color similar to it?
I can’t think of anything off the top of my head, hmmm…
I totally ADORE Apple Dilution! My fave so far
Yay! Thanks, SarahT!
wow I love the first one! something I’d wear a lot!
Ohh, I am flattered!
LOVE apple dilution =)
Thank ya, Sammie!
Apple Dilution is fantastic. I wish they sold that color pre-mixed!!
Thanks, Kristin
WHOA apple dilution. I want to have babies with that colour.
LOL!!
OMG!! MUST HAVE LIP TARS. lol. Unfortunately, I can’t afford at the moment.
Will you please mix more Christine so we can see more possibilities with the colors?
I’ll definitely see what I can do!
Apple Dilution and Desert Dawn are awesome!!
Yay! Glad you liked them
Sell them to me, if you can.
I’ll definitely let you know if I do!
I like the names you came up with – Morose is LOL!
LOL! I was SO stumped on some of these!
Apple Dilution looks the best. Somehow the usage of clear gloss made it look more wearable, instead of a thick goo on the lips..
You can always apply as much or as little as you want, just depends on your preferences!
Apple Dilution is pretty much perfect.
Oh, wow! Thank you
i like that you can blend your own preferred shades, but i am wondering to christine and anyone else who has tried these, what is the formula like? does it feel like a gloss or a lipstick? (…or in between?) sticky, drying etc…?
I have about 3 of them. They have application like a gloss, but they dry and feel like a nourishing lipstick, even if they still have a bit of shine. They have long wear, and they are not sticky at all!
thanks letitia
i might try them out sometime if i can find them in the uk!
Agreed, Letitia!
It’s not drying or sticky. They’re more like liquid lipsticks, because they do dry down a bit and feel like a satin lipstick!
i just LOVE apple dilution
Thanks, Anna!
Apple Dilution is GORGEOUS.. I love everything except that black-purple combo, but that can be fixed with a little NSFW like u said
Thanks so much!
Thanks Christine,,, the first swatches is my favorite of all..
My pleasure, Anna!
Hi… You should def keep Apple Dilution as a go to colour
I guess I will!
I really love apple dilution!
I was thinking of getting the lip tars after seeing all these mixes! Just wondering:
1) Did you use any clear gloss? If yes, what brand did you use?
2) Did you try apple dilution to bleed more due to the gloss content?
Thanks alot!
I think when she used clear gloss, it was the Lip Tar clear gloss.
Yep!
Thanks, Gingitsune!
I used OCC’s Clear Gloss for Apple Dilution. I didn’t find it bled any more than if they were just the lipsticks!
Hi Christine,
I placed an order. LOL I went crazy & ended up getting 8 lip tars, 3 body paints & 1 nail polish. Can’t wait to see how they’ll turn out.
I wish I was going to IMATS. Would have loved to see you as well as the OCC counter there!
Whew!! That’s a bunch! I do hope you enjoy them, Gingitsune! Please let us know how it does turn out!
Hehe I’ll definitely let you know Christine. I started with 5 then the list got bigger. I seriously want ALL their lip tars!!!
I might drive to Toronto to attend the IMATS in Toronto. Just wished I knew abt IMATS earlier! I could have attended the NYC show!
LOL! Aww. Maybe you’ll be able to make it to the Toronto show at least
LOL I can only hope! Either that or it’s next year
I’m super excited abt this OCC lip tars. I would definitely love to see more of your awesome creations & names
I’ll see what I can whip up
Awesome!!! I’ll look forward to seeing more creations! I’ll definitely making “Apple Dilution” when I get my lip tars
I’m really in awe that you’d remake that one!! I had no idea people would like it so much!
I kind of enjoyed Morose.
Haha!
Apple Dilution is gorgeous! How long would you say it stayed on your lips?
6 hours!
Hi Christine,
Any chance you remember which seller you bought the jars from? I’ve never really bought anything off e-bay and I’m a little apprehensive.
Thanks!
