OCC Lip Tars – Custom Shades: Apple Dilution, Subdued, Morose, Desert Drawn

Date: June 13, 2009 - Posted in: Lipgloss


“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.

    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 ):

    • Heather

      Saturday, June 13, 2009

      I was thinking the exact same things!

    • Christine

      Saturday, June 13, 2009

      Yeah, Morose would definitely need some more work to make it wearable, LOL!

      • Jessica Allison

        Sunday, June 14, 2009

        Maybe a bit of silver pigment? Still not an everyday look, but a pewter lip color would be kind of cool (for something…?)

        • Leah

          Monday, June 15, 2009

          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!

          • Christine

            Wednesday, June 17, 2009

            Most likely! Tarred is a bit easy to go overboard with, ha!

        • Christine

          Wednesday, June 17, 2009

          It could be! I love the color of pewter, ha!

    Yes, Apple Dilution is gorgeous!!!!

      Thanks, Andrea!

  6. Rocketqueen

    Saturday, June 13, 2009

    I couldn’t agree more with the Apple being the fave! How does it feel on lips when mixed with gloss? Bleeding factor – higher?

    • Christine

      Saturday, June 13, 2009

      I wouldn’t say it bleeds any more/less. I did find that the less product you applied, the less bleeding you got, though!

      • Rocketqueen

        Sunday, June 14, 2009

        Okay! Did you just use any clear gloss?

        • Christine

          Wednesday, June 17, 2009

          I used OCC’s Clear Gloss, but I think any would suffice!

    Saturday, June 13, 2009

    OOH~ looks like you had a ton of fun mixing your own colours :P

    • Christine

      Saturday, June 13, 2009

      Oh, definitely! Very creative :)

  8. Heather

    Saturday, June 13, 2009

    Apple Dilution is a winner! Did you come up with your own names? You’re really creative!!

    • Christine

      Saturday, June 13, 2009

      Yes, LOL. I felt like they were SUPER cheesy! I was sooo stumped. Giving them names seemed better than saying 1, 2, 3, etc.!

  9. Marcela

    Saturday, June 13, 2009

    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

    • Christine

      Saturday, June 13, 2009

      It would definitely be pretty that way!

  10. Nadine

    Saturday, June 13, 2009

    I LOVE Apple Dilution! Does anyone know of a lip color similar to it?

    • Christine

      Saturday, June 13, 2009

      I can’t think of anything off the top of my head, hmmm…

  11. SarahT

    Saturday, June 13, 2009

    I totally ADORE Apple Dilution! My fave so far ;)

    • Christine

      Yay! Thanks, SarahT!

    Saturday, June 13, 2009

    wow I love the first one! something I’d wear a lot!

      Ohh, I am flattered!

    Apple Dilution is fantastic. I wish they sold that color pre-mixed!!

    • Christine

      Saturday, June 13, 2009

      Thanks, Kristin :)

    Saturday, June 13, 2009

    WHOA apple dilution. I want to have babies with that colour.

  16. Faiza

    Saturday, June 13, 2009

    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?

    • Christine

      Saturday, June 13, 2009

      I’ll definitely see what I can do!

    Apple Dilution and Desert Dawn are awesome!!

    • Christine

      Yay! Glad you liked them :D

  18. HoneyBrown1976

    Saturday, June 13, 2009

    Sell them to me, if you can.

    • Christine

      Saturday, June 13, 2009

      I’ll definitely let you know if I do!

    Saturday, June 13, 2009

    I like the names you came up with – Morose is LOL!

    • Christine

      Saturday, June 13, 2009

      LOL! I was SO stumped on some of these!

  20. Angie

    Saturday, June 13, 2009

    Apple Dilution looks the best. Somehow the usage of clear gloss made it look more wearable, instead of a thick goo on the lips..

    • Christine

      Saturday, June 13, 2009

      You can always apply as much or as little as you want, just depends on your preferences!

  21. Jennifer

    Sunday, June 14, 2009

    Apple Dilution is pretty much perfect.

    • Christine

      Wednesday, June 17, 2009

      Oh, wow! Thank you :)

    Sunday, June 14, 2009

    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…?

    • Letitia

      Sunday, June 14, 2009

      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!

      • aradhana

        Sunday, June 14, 2009

        thanks letitia

        i might try them out sometime if i can find them in the uk!

      • Christine

        Wednesday, June 17, 2009

        Agreed, Letitia!

    • Christine

      Wednesday, June 17, 2009

      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!

    Sunday, June 14, 2009

    i just LOVE apple dilution

    • Christine

      Wednesday, June 17, 2009

      Thanks, Anna!

  24. hi

    Sunday, June 14, 2009

    Apple Dilution is GORGEOUS.. I love everything except that black-purple combo, but that can be fixed with a little NSFW like u said :)

    • Christine

      Wednesday, June 17, 2009

      Thanks so much! ;)

  25. Anna

    Sunday, June 14, 2009

    Hi… You should def keep Apple Dilution as a go to colour :)

    • Christine

      Wednesday, June 17, 2009

      I guess I will!

  27. Gingitsune

    Sunday, June 14, 2009

    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!

    • Letitia

      Monday, June 15, 2009

      I think when she used clear gloss, it was the Lip Tar clear gloss. :)

    • Christine

      Wednesday, June 17, 2009

      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!

      • Gingitsune

        Wednesday, June 17, 2009

        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!

        • Christine

          Wednesday, June 17, 2009

          Whew!! That’s a bunch! I do hope you enjoy them, Gingitsune! Please let us know how it does turn out!

          • Gingitsune

            Wednesday, June 17, 2009

            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! :(

            • Christine

              Wednesday, June 17, 2009

              LOL! Aww. Maybe you’ll be able to make it to the Toronto show at least :)

              • Gingitsune

                Wednesday, June 17, 2009

                LOL I can only hope! Either that or it’s next year :P

                I’m super excited abt this OCC lip tars. I would definitely love to see more of your awesome creations & names :D

                  Wednesday, June 17, 2009

                    Wednesday, June 17, 2009

                    Awesome!!! I’ll look forward to seeing more creations! I’ll definitely making “Apple Dilution” when I get my lip tars :D

                      Wednesday, June 17, 2009

                      I’m really in awe that you’d remake that one!! I had no idea people would like it so much!

    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!
