OCC Lip Tar Lip Swatches!
As promised, here are lip swatches of all of colored shades of Lip Tars. I will definitely do some mixing and matching later on today, and I’ll be sure to share the results!
To reiterate, the Lip Tars are designed to be mixed with each other! This means you don’t have to wear bright yellow all by itself — instead, get your creative juices flowing and start thinking about color theory and how to mix and blend colors to get your own custom shades. :) I’ll definitely be trying my hand at it this afternoon, and I will keep you all posted on the results.
See all of the lip swatches!
Tarred
Feathered
Traffic
Rx
Safety Orange

Melange

hi
Friday, June 12, 2009
WOW! NSFW looks AMAZING on you!! Grandma leans more pink-peach on the lips, though, and Feathered looks kinda matte, to me. Safety Orange looks nice on you, lol :)

Hi, I live in the UK and bought Grandma from OCC’s website, I got it finally and it’s nothing like the pinky peach in all the swatches I’ve seen – my liptar labelled Grandma is a (very) bright neon coral – very bright.
Lovely colour but OCC customer service is so bad at getting back to customers I’ve enquired about it thinking I have the wrongly labelled tube – o have they changed the formula?? I so wanted the colour in the swatches and it’s not a case of misinterpreting the colour – the colour I have here is VERY different and not like the others advertised.
Has anyone else found this? I want the colour I thought I had bought!
Christine
Friday, September 4, 2009
That sounds like it’s wrong… there’s no way the color would change THAT much. I hope you have heard back from them since!

these look AMAZING. i can’t even handle it! i think you’d have to put down a layer of white pencil and top it with feather for it to look as opaque as the others. same with traffic, or maybe you’d use a nude pencil with traffic.
I WANT ALL OF THEM!
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
I agree – those two do seem to run a bit on the sheer side. I think all of them have a tendency to bleed, so I’d probably use lip liner with all of them!

OMG, I have never seen lipglosses like this! This is amazing pigmentation and color. Looks like some are more reserved for photo shoots or stuff like that but I’m definitely digging all of them, especially the black color. It looks so punk, but like sexy punk?
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
You can mix ‘em together to make them into more wearable colors, too :)

Friday, June 12, 2009
Unbelievable! The combos with these colors are endless. This is the second review I’ve read on OCC Lip Tars & so far all thumbs are up. You really feel like your getting the true color of what’s in the tube & that a little will go a long way. These are just AMAZING :) Thanks Christine for doing swatches.
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
No problem! When I saw ‘em on Jude’s lips, I was like, “I have to check these out!”

WOW! Those are totally amazing, yet not very wearable LOL! I am loving Katricia and Pageant though!
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Once you mix ‘em together, you can get more wearable shades :D

Really Christine.. If you had ketchup on your lips, I would say it looks fantastic on you. Nothing could look ugly on your lips – they are so pretty! Now back to OCC lip tars..:) They are HOT!
Jimena
Saturday, June 13, 2009
lol ketchup xD
Christine

Well, thank you :D

They are so pretty!! I have heard so much about OCC. I have been wanting to try out the lip tars and thier loose colour concentrates since i first saw them but what they charge for shipping is killing me!!
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Oh no! :( Maybe sign up for their mailing list and hopefully they’ll have a free shipping code soon?
Kat
Friday, June 12, 2009
!!!! I want to be american (but only for the make up and low shipping rates)
…Is the finish as glossy as depicted? The site claims a satin finish on these. ?
!!!
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Aww!
If you layer more on, it appears glossier. Less then you get the satin finish :)
Sarah
Friday, June 12, 2009
OH. MY. GOODNESS!!
You ACTUALLY wore them aswell, the black, blue, white, yellow… gasp!
Kudos, Christine, you brave, bold girl, you!
ps. Those pillarbox red, coral/orange look smokin’ hot! I want!
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
I figured it would be good to show everyone how they look in their singular form first :)

NSFW look fantastic on you, I’d love to see a full-face shot with that lip! :) I’m really tempted by Grandma (LOL!) and Katricia!
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Thanks! I really liked NSFW alone on me, too. So maybe I will ;)
reesa
Friday, June 12, 2009
wow! these are amazing. i would love to play around with these, however, i don’t think i’m that creative with mixing and making my own colors. although, this may be the perfect opportunity to start. i love these and the concept! thanks christine!
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Once you start, you can really get into it. It can be really fun to experiment, too :)
Katrina
Friday, June 12, 2009
wow katricia looks almost similar with lavander whip and uber with fresh brew! :D
Nathalie
Friday, June 12, 2009
Yes, it also reminded me of Fresh Brew a whole lot. :)
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Katricia is sooo much more intense than Lavender Whip! (Lavender Whip feels so tame after Katricia, LOL!)

grandma look awesome! can totally use it just as it is. :)
Christine

Agreed!
Mara
Friday, June 12, 2009
These are fantastic!! Somebody mentioned in another post a concern regarding touch-ups on lip combos. I think I would whip up a batch of whatever combo I like, and scoop it into a 3-gram jar… stick it in my purse with a lip brush, and no worries! What could prove difficult is getting the right mixture again once it’s all used up! On a side note, I’d love to see a combo with Melange and Grandma.
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
That’s what I would do, too! I’d personally just mix up a bunch of colors at once, make enough for several applications, and bam! lipsticks in pots all ready to go.
Mikki
Friday, June 12, 2009
LOL, the black, white, yellow and blue ones look very funny!

Christine, thanks for these!
I was wondering if you have any MAC Lip Mixes? I wonder how these compare to Lip Mix. I just got the ochre Lip Mix and am having fun mixing it into other colors.
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
No problem, Carrie!
I don’t have any MAC’s Lip Mixes, and I haven’t really tried any of them, BUT I do think they are similar concepts/products. I just can’t weigh in on texture/feel/opacity.
annie

Saturday, June 13, 2009
I was begining to think I was losing my mind! Thank goodness another person who is not going to add this flavor of the day product to their makeup case only to try to trade out of it six months from now. Hello…it looks like colored sunscreen on your lips! Can you imagine the bleeding factor or the rings this would leave on your fork/cup? I say uber-ugly. :0
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
If you use lip liner, you shouldn’t have any color bleeding issues — I didn’t use any here so that you can see exactly how they wear naturally, so you can determine whether you’d bother with liner or not (because some people don’t have time to line their lips). I think most makeup has a newness factor and gets forgotten about after a few months. That’s part of the fun – there’s always something new to try!
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
What makes you say that? I know some of them aren’t pretty on their own, but shades like Pageant and Grandma are nice on their own (obviously, in my opinion, LOL!).
Jennifer
Friday, June 12, 2009
these pictures juxtaposed together like that look like something that Andy Warhol would have made! Beautiful colors, almost convinced me to shell out some cash on these.
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
They do look really great together :)
Tami
Friday, June 12, 2009
Wow these are some funky colors! I’m liking Safety Orange, Pageant, and even Rx to a certain extent. I would love to see a lip combo of Tarred and Feathered:)
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
I like Rx if only because it’s BLUE. C’mon, it’s SO BLUE!
Shanel
Friday, June 12, 2009
oohwee, i want some for my kit :]

Letitia
Friday, June 12, 2009
I had been WAITING for you to swatch these since I first started to see them pop up on blogs and on youtube. I have Grandma…and for my NC42 skin it’s a bit too bright, so I’m thinking of getting Feathered to mix with it and bring it down a bit. I’m so happy you’re doing this!!!
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
LOL!
I hope you pick up a few more so you can do some mixin’ and matchin’, Letitia!

LoL, I thought you were claiming the post was NSFW. I was like, “why? It’s just gonna be a bunch of pictures of her lips.”
Oops, I guess you meant that was the name of the color ^_^’
I can’t wait to see combinations that you do with them!

Thanks, Erin!
I bet it will be nice!
Bonnie
Friday, June 12, 2009
The colors are WONDERFUL! But I have two questions: how do they feel on the lips (drying or sticky at all?), and do they wear well (how long until you have to touch them up, and do they bleed around the mouth)?
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
I didn’t find them drying, and they’re definitely not sticky! They do bleed from my experience, so I would recommend using a lip liner! I found wear time to be pretty good for me – several hours!
Bonnie
Sunday, June 14, 2009
LOL, I was half hoping you’d say they were terribly sticky or something like that, and then I wouldn’t be tempted to to buy any. :D
Christine
Wednesday, June 17, 2009

Yes, they’re definitely that!
Jody
Friday, June 12, 2009
Christine, these all look gorgeous on you! I cant imagine how I could wear most of them but I really want to try Feathered and Pageant, I think Pageant would work great with Saint Germain.
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Thanks, Jody!
Definitely just mixing and matching them. Play around with the combos enough and you’re bound to find a few good mixes!
Jessica Allison
Friday, June 12, 2009
I’ve been waiting for I don’t know what to order some of these- I’m also curious about how they compare to MAC lipmixes. Also, do you have any thing (liner, lip primer, etc…) under these?
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
I haven’t tried MAC lip mixes yet, so I can’t compare. The concepts seem similar, though. I didn’t use any lip liner, primer, etc. I prefer not to when I do swatches, because I feel it is important to know (and see!) whether a lip color bleeds and the like!
Brie
Friday, June 12, 2009
I’m in the minority here I guess – I hate em! They are very bleedy and look too heavy. And I guess I’m just far too lazy to get down with the idea of mixing up my own color hah! I’d rather buy the color I want already mixed up and just put it on rather than trying to concoct a color every few days lol ;D
Jessica Allison
Friday, June 12, 2009
No, I agree w/ you, I am concerned about the bleeding. That’s why I asked if she was wearing anything under them. I have a feeling she doesn’t so that we can see the true colors, in which case a liner would hopefully remedy that issue.
I am also interested to know about how they compare to lipmixes, because w/ pro discount the MAC is cheaper.
BTW: Obsessive Compulsive does offer a pro discount of 20% if you qualify.
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Yes, that’s exactly why! :) They are bleeders, but I do find that with more precise application you’ll see a lot less bleeding. For lip swatches like these, I don’t take the same amount of time as I would lips for a look I’d wear outside. I’d suggest using a lip brush as well as lip liner with these.
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
They definitely bleed, but a lip liner would solve that issue for sure! My lips were also pretty dry from removing each one after application, so that wasn’t helping the bleeding issue!
To be honest, I wouldn’t bother mixing up a color every few days… I’d just make a whole bunch at once, and then you’d have several to choose from that you could use whenever you wanted!

Hi Christine! I was waiting to see when you were going to get these… and here you are with the swatches. They all look great on you. I actually purchased them a few weeks ago after seeing a few gurus on YouTube and other blogs talking about them. There are two new colors that are on their website (Vintage and Plum). They sent me the email this morning announcing them. I ordered the new ones… we’ll see how they look. They sound nice though. :-)
Christine
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Thanks so much, Rosie! What are your fave combos so far?
Amber
Saturday, June 13, 2009
Do you own Vintage and Plum? They both look a little dark to me but I was just wondering what you thought….

Wednesday, February 17, 2010
I’ve been meaning to buy these for awhile but I’m concerned about the texture. Would you say these lip tars are drying? What’s the texture like? I purchased a bunch of MAC Lipmixes a few weeks ago (which hold the same concept of OCC lip tars) but I’m starting to feel like some of them are so drying (mainly white and gold.) If you’ve tried both OCC Lip Tars and MAC Lipmixes, would you say the lip tars are more drying or moisturizing.. or the same? Thanks. Any help would be really appreciated.
Christine
Monday, February 22, 2010
They can be a little drying, so I would use a lip balm underneath.
