Lip Tars Fall 2011 Product Review and Swatches
Written by Elessa, Posted in Blog, Brand, Featured, OCC Makeup, Product Review, Swatches
I love Lip Tars. They are soo unique and innovative. Made with hemp oil and peppermint and a whole lot of color!
Available at occmakeup.com
$13.00 USD | 8mL – A stunning new innovation in lip color, OCC Lip Tar combines the longevity of a lipstick, with the ease of application of a gloss. Goes on slick and moist, and dries down to a satin finish. Ultra-saturated in color, Lip Tar contains an unprecedented amount of pigment – a little goes a very, very long way! An intense yet featherweight layer of color that stands up to the scrutiny of Hi-Def Video and Digital Photography, without ever looking (or feeling!) heavy. Meant to be mixed, Lip Tar comes in concise array of colors for a limitless selection of shades made by you!
Like all of our products, OCC Lip Tar is 100% Vegan and Cruelty-Free, and is also free of parabens and other harsh preservatives. A simple, elegant formula that contains Hemp Oil, Peppermint Oil and Vitamin E, OCC Lip Tar feels as good on the lips as it looks!
DIRECTIONS: Apply the tiniest bead of Lip Tar with our #009 Angle Brush for complete, opaque coverage, either mixed with other shades or on its own. Applying too much product can result in feathering outside the lipline, so remember: a little goes a very long way!

Review
Price: $13.00 each
Pros:
- Long lasting
- Highly pigmented
- Smooth and long lasting
- Smells great and gives off a slight peppermint scent
- A little goes a long way
- A lot of colors to choose from
Cons:
- Applicator can’t be used directly. We recommend an angle brush and a tiny amount
- Can be drying if not used properly
Tips:
- Use an angle brush to apply
- Apply a lip balm prior to application if you have dry lips
- Use a small amount and build for best results
- Exfoliate prior to application for the smoothest results
Overall:Overall I love these. I love every single color and the texture is so unique. I can’t wear it on a daily basis because it can be drying but if you read the tips above you should be a lot better. Get at least one color.. but I warn you .. these are addicting like candy.

I am obsessed with banjee, but I would only wear it in the summer when I am tanned so it would actually look good on me
As much as I think that the orange color is so pretty, I have a lot of red tones in my face that show through even foundation, and I just think it would look way off.
I wouldn’t wear orange. I rarely wear lip colors. I like lipglosses.
Banjee is a very pretty color, but I dont think that I could Pull off the color orange. Its not something that I would choose for myself.

Tho’ I’m not quite sure I would wear like, bright orange lip color cause of my lips’ skin tone. But I do like gold or orange peachy. I would prefer Queen.
I would totally wear the New Orange Lip Tar from OCC in BANJEE in the summer because “orange/corals” look great with a tan & I can also mix it in with other colors such as pinks or nudes to turn it into another version of orange!
Ahh I definitely can’t wear orange, it doesn’t flatter me at all
You’d have to be very warm-skinned to pull of an orange! My skin is very cool.
Perhaps trying an orange with a duotone? Add some shimmer that you like. I find that works well
I think the colour is very beautiful and that orange looks good on asian skin….would give it a try!!!
i love Queen!!!!!! not sure if i would wear orange but i need to give orange a try before i would say whether i wouldnt wear it.
I love oranges…as an eye shadow rather than a lipstick/gloss

i would wear banjee (orange) if the occasion called for it. for a Mhendi (south east asian wedding occasion) or on halloween
I personally would not wear it because I’m dark skinned and I don’t think the color would work!
Banjee is pretty – but I don’t think it would work with my skin color.
I think the only way I would wear Banjee is if it was for Halloween or something like that.
orange is beautiful but I don’t think it goes well on my tan skin ^^
