OCC Derelict Lip Tar/RTW ($15.00 for 0.14 fl. oz.) is described as a “patinated olive gold metallic.” It’s a smoky, dirty olive green with warmer, light-medium olive gold shimmer. It’s not a duochrome, but it almost appears that way, because of how the shimmer sits in the base and catches the light. It is much cooler in person, I think. It had smei-opaque coverage and applied unevenly, which was my biggest gripe with it. I think this one would benefit from applying with a lip brush, blotting lightly, and then applying a second layer for fuller coverage. The color wore well for six and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating. Sephora Backstage (60) (P, $8.00) is less shimmery, darker, cooler (85% similar). NYX Trickery (P, $6.00) is more shimmery, lighter, brighter (85% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

OCC Disintegration Lip Tar/RTW ($15.00 for 0.14 fl. oz.) is described as a “pale, plum lavender metallic.” It’s a light-medium, muted lavender with neutral-to-cool undertones and a fine pearl sheen. It had mostly opaque color payoff that applied with smooth, even coverage with little fuss. The color wore well for five and a half hours on me, and it was neither drying nor hydrating. MAC Double Spin (LE, $19.00) is lighter, cooler (90% similar). MAC Restrict (LE, $19.00) is cooler (90% similar). MAC Ionized (LE, $25.00) is darker, glossier (90% similar). MAC Beauty (LE, $19.00) is cooler (90% similar). MAC Mlle (LE, $19.00) is darker (90% similar). Maybelline Bubblegum Bloom (965) (LE, $7.49) is lighter, brighter (85% similar). MAC Weekend 1 (LE, $19.00) is lighter (85% similar). MAC You're Perfect Already (LE, $18.00) is darker (85% similar). MAC Notice Me (LE, $19.00) is lighter, warmer, glossier (80% similar). KVD Beauty Requiem (P, $20.00) is darker, less glossy (80% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

FORMULA SUMMARY | OCC Lip Tar/RTW ($15.00 for 0.14 fl. oz.) is supposed to be a long-wearing, pigmented liquid lipstick. The formula is light-to-medium in weight with some shades with a thinner or thicker consistency. As you might expect, the thinner ones tend to have sheerer coverage, though the average Lip Tar is semi-opaque to intensely opaque (like the smallest amount is needed to get opaque coverage). The Metallic shades tend to be thinner and have more slip compared to the cream ones. The formula is sometimes drying, sometimes just not drying. The formula is mint-scented but has no discernible taste. The new Lip Tar/RTW comes with a doe-foot applicator, which makes it easier to apply from the tube than the original Lip Tars.
