OCC Mosh Lip Tar/RTW

OCC Mosh Lip Tar/RTW ($15.00 for 0.14 fl. oz.) is described as a “brick burgundy metallic.” It’s a deep, reddish burgundy with fine copper/gold shimmer and a natural sheen. It was richly pigmented with a light-medium weight consistency that had some slip, which I found caused feathering after four hours of wear (though the color itself was still going strong after six hours). I was impressed at how even it applied, as darker shades (especially when liquid or slippery) tend to apply poorly. It was neither drying nor hydrating. Makeup Geek Acoustic (P, $15.00) is cooler (90% similar). Too Faced Chocolate Cherries (P, $21.00) is less shimmery (90% similar). Makeup Geek Mixtape (P, $15.00) is cooler (85% similar). MAC Tribalist (LE, $19.00) is less shimmery, lighter, brighter (85% similar). Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Black Metal Dahlia (DC, $18.00) is lighter, brighter, cooler (85% similar). Bite Beauty Truffle (DC, $24.00) is less shimmery, lighter, brighter (85% similar). See comparison swatches / view dupes side-by-side.

OCC Stud Lip Tar/RTW ($15.00 for 0.14 fl. oz.) is described as a “greyed aubergine matte.” It’s a dark, muted purple with a cream finish. It had opaque color coverage with a light-medium-weight consistency–it was one of the thicker shades on the collection–that applied smoothly and evenly. The color was still going strong after six hours of wear, and the formula was a little drying after seven hours of wear. Too Faced Melted Villain (P, $21.00) is darker, warmer (85% similar). ColourPop Guess (DC, $6.50) is darker, less glossy (90% similar). Illamasqua Kontrol (P, $24.00) is lighter, brighter (90% similar). Bite Beauty Kohlrabi (DC, $24.00) is brighter (85% similar). Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Pagan (DC, $18.00) is more shimmery, darker, less glossy (85% similar). MAC Gunner (LE, $19.00) is lighter, brighter (85% similar). ColourPop Feminist (LE, $7.00) is darker, less glossy (85% similar). Bite Beauty Black Truffle (DC, $26.00) is darker, brighter (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.

These are not colors I would wear, but they are certainly beautiful! I need to get myself at least one Lip Tar, but there are just so many options!

I’m really glad that they put the lip tars in tube form. They were kind of a pain before because touching up meant I had to get the lip brush out and it was inconvenient. I love their formula though because it’s so smooth over the lips. I wonder why sephora stopped carrying them.

OMG, that dusty greyed purple is really hot. I am adding that to my wishlist. Mosh is a gorgeous color too, looks really lovely on you Christine! I don’t really go for metallic finishes, but this one is tempting.
