Here are the final two new Lip Tars from OCC’s spring collection, Plastic Passion. Pool Boy and Kimber are both part of the original, matte formulation of Lip Tars, so they have no shimmer. When you initially apply Lip Tars, you’ll see a satin finish, which dries to a matte finish somewhere between a half hour and an hour after application.   I had no trouble applying either shade, and they both lasted awhile on the lips.

OCC Pool Boy Lip Tar ($18.00 for 0.33 fl. oz.) is described as an “aquatic blue.” It’s a light-medium sky blue with cool undertones and a satin-matte finish. For something as light and pastel, plus nowhere near the natural lip color (so it’s easier to see any unevenness), I was impressed by how evenly Pool Boy applied. It was very nearly opaque, and it was even overall–it appeared even at a distance, though the close-up photo shows that it’s not perfect. It wore well for six and a half hours and was neither drying nor hydrating on me. I couldn’t think of any dupes for this. If you like mixing and matching, this would be a great way to add a cooler, blue undertone to shades you already have as well.

Kimber Lip Tar ($18.00 for 0.33 fl. oz.) is described as a “neon orange coral.” It’s a brightened, coral-orange with a satin-matte finish. I wouldn’t say it’s neon; it has a muted quality to it, actually. This shade was more satiny compared to the other Lip Tars in the collection, and it takes a little longer (about an hour and a half) for it to become mostly matte. It had rich, opaque color coverage. When I wore it, the color lasted for seven hours and was neither drying nor hydrating. theBalm First Officer (LE) is more matte, slightly less orange. NARS Lodhi (P, $25.00) is a smidgen pinker. See comparison swatches.

Please remember to be respectful of ALL types and forms of beauty; should someone want to wear blue, beige, black, red, or pink lipstick, Temptalia is a place where anyone can wear any color they want without judgment or comments like, “Ew!” It’s not constructive, and one person’s opinion on what’s “pretty” is just that. If it’s not your thing, it’s not your thing, but it might be someone else’s new favorite lip color, and this post is for them. Thank you!
