OCC Meta Lip Tar Stained Gloss ($18.00 for 0.33 fl. oz.) is described as a “red orange shellac.” It’s a bold, brightened orange-toned red with a luminous sheen. Dior Ceremony Red is bluer-based and shimmery. Chanel Exces is sheerer but similar in color (not as bright). OCC Harlot is similar in color (but a true Lip Tar). Illamasqua Fume isn’t quite as warm-toned.

It has a really lightweight feel and thin texture, and for the first three to four hours, there’s a natural sheen–not full-on glossy shine but still rather luminous. After, it has a subtler sheen and looks like a lip stain. The color coverage is much like a stained glass window; translucent enough that the natural lip color comes through somewhat but still a lot of color density. Meta lasts for six and a half hours well, and the stain lingers for another hour or so. It’s neither hydrating nor drying.

It’s a no brainer that I’m getting this…let’s be honest…I’m getting them all. I am officially an OCC lip tar addict so the stained glosses were automatically on my radar! I’m going to try and be done getting them for a little while after this, but….my will power is lacking as of late lol

Oh, this is stunning. Christine, do you happen to know if the formula/wear on these is similar to the YSL Glossy Stains? I’m totally in love with them but they’re so expensive, the Lip Tars would be a little more affordable!

This is very pretty, it looks like Mac Impassioned but glossier. It´s very pretty, but I wouldn´t buy this just because I very often apply makeup on the go or in a hurry and couldn´t bother with a lip tar I would probably make a mess with it lol, I generally just prefer lipstick.
