Round-up: OCC Unknown Pleasures Collection Overview & Thoughts
OCC Unknown Pleasures Collection
Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics’ fall collection, Unknown Pleasures has a good mix of more unique, non-traditional lip colors paired with a few interesting takes on more traditional lip colors that still manage to be more unique than not.  It’s always fun to see matching nail polishes with the lip colors, in case Lip Tars aren’t your thing.  Overall, I really liked the collection, though I didn’t care for the thinner, runnier consistency of Vain and Pagan Lip Tars, but the collection gave us Technopagan Lip Tar, which is a knock-your-socks-off kind of a color.
Sephora was supposed to launch it earlier this week, but no sign of it yet, but it is available at Beautylish and occmakeup.com. Â

I love Technopagan so much 😀 As interesting as many of OCC’s offerings are, I think it’s the first one that may actually motivate me to go through the rigmarole of getting stuff from the States! As a purple lipstick lover/collector, I just can’t go past it!
Technopagan is hard to resist 🙂 I will eagerly be watching to see if you get it!
Technopagan is seriously awesome and different shade 🙂
am so glad i picked a new shade for myself 🙂 eagerly waiting for try the orange on my lips
Can’t wait to see it on you, Rashmi!
Technopagan, Vain and even though it had a low rating, Pagan. I can’t deny a good purple. CAN’T WAIT!
Hopefully, you have better luck/you can make it work 🙂
I still very much want Technopagan.
It is so amazing!
Very surprisingly, the only pick I’m interested in from this collection..is Maneater. The finish on the gothier shades is a no go for me. Happy to see others rocking them out.
That is a surprise!
I enjoyed the collection and wish I had play money but I’ll probably pass on it.
At least it was fun to look at 😀
Glad these are permanent so I can continue to think about it. Part of me really wants Technopagan and part of me is like….I’m never gonna wear it, lol. 🙂
LOL! I totally understand, Kimmy! It’s not cheap if you’re not sure you’ll wear it!
They are so pretty and I want to buy the collection so bad; however, I contacted Sephora and they stated the problem with the launch was with the manufacturer and that they had no idea of when the collection would be available on their site. This is at the same the same time that the promo pic for the collection is being used on the OCC section of the Sephora site. Since I am not in the USA, I would prefer to order through the Sephora website for my country instead of one of the US sites (it’s more expensive). I do not know if the problem is with Sephora or OCC but it has left me frustrated. Not sure if I will end up buying the collection.
It has launched now!
Technopagan will be mine. I just have to wait until next month. I don’t want to wait though, I want it now! I saw that Illamasqua have a few of their intense lipglosses on sale, if anyone likes them. I do think I’ll get a few of those. I have one, and I love it. Still it’s not Technopagan… I don’t think I’ve fallen for a lip product this hard in aeons 🙂
Thankfully it is permanent 😀
Technopagan and Covet are my faves from this collection. I want both lip tars and the matching polish for Covet. I just love that color!
Great picks, Fancie!
