KAT VON D BACKSTAGE BAMI is a matte pink. If you ever want a "Hey look at my face" lip color, this is it. Backstage Bambi can look very different depending on who is wearing it. This is a liquid lipstick, meaning you apply it like lipgloss and it dries matte. The KVD line is one of the easiest to work with in my opinion. Also, it will stay all day. The downside? it will stay tomorrow and the next as well. Well, not unless you scrub your lips until they fall off... just kidding... not really...
HOURGLASS ICON is a matte red. Another liquid lipstick, this one is a little harder to apply, if you don't get it right the first time then you're gonna have some nice uneven lips! This one definitely looks more like a stain than a lipstick.
STILA DOLCE is a matte pale nude. I know a lot of people love Stila's liquid lipsticks but I just can't get over how bad the formula is, its like it never completely dries and its very sticky. This color gave me a nice "I'm dead and have no lips" look, even though it looks quite normal in this picture.
STILA SONYA is a dusty wine. I really love the formula of this lipstick, its creamy without being too much. Even though this color looks like a normal lipstick, when I wear it I feel like I'm wearing a neon green. Just too normal for me.
BUXOM MENACE is a "rich wine". Wearing it for this picture is most likely the last time I wear this lipstick. Not because its a bad lipstick, but because it decided to live no more and broke. Even when it wasn't broken I didn't wear it though, only because I have so many like this color. Nothing about it really made want to wear it more than the others.
REVLON SIREN is a coral with light shimmer. I've worn this for a total of two times. Once, because I was feeling brave and the second time was for this picture. There is something about orange that I feel doesn't look good on my lips against my skin tone. I wish I could wear oranges though, they're so pretty. Formula wise, this isn't something that I prefer, it feels like it just slides all over the place.
REVLON BLACK CHERRY is basically a darkened cherry. There are so many things I hate about this lipstick. One, its way too creamy, like you feel like you have ten layers of lipstick with one swipe. Two, its so patchy despite being really creamy. Three, I dont remember the other reasons.
COVERGIRL DIVINE is a semi matte orchid. Before getting into lipsticks, or makeup at all really, I used to wear red only. Then I got this color, I thought it was way to bright pink for me. I don't know if its supposed to be matte, but it is, and it has really good staying power. This lipstick definitely holds a place near and dear to my heart. Without it, I'd still be wearing red.
MILANI CANDIED TOFFEES is a frosty copper. Milani lipsticks smell like baby wipes, which is my main concern about this lipstick. When purchasing, I had no idea that it was going to be a frost. Its okay, not something that I like to wear. I feel like it makes me look 10 years older than I am.
OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE COSMETICS (OCC) BLACK DAHLIA is a deep wine. I should have made these lip tars a post all together, but, what the heck. Personally, I apply these with a doe foot applicator if I'm wearing it straight from the tube. Some people feel doe foot applicators wastes a lot of product and would rather use a brush, its all about preference. These can be a little drying, which is why I rarely wear them straight from the tube. This color was my first experience with dark colors and lip tars, I fell in love instantly. Black Dahlia is one color I know can look completely different on different people.
OCC STALKER is a classic red. My lip tar obsession grew, so I kept getting more. Then I realized, wearing these straight from the tube is pretty high maintenance. You have to be very careful of what you do, and bring it along to reapply if needed.
OCC VINTAGE is a brick red. Despite the picture, it has a touch more brown to it. Again, these can be very drying straight from the tube.
OCC MELANGE is a coral-y nude. I love this color because its coral enough to make me feel like I'm wearing an orange but nude enough to not be scared of it. This color is a little harder to use, for me, since my lips are somewhat dark.
OCC STRUMPET is a very purple pink... so magenta? This was so hard to take a picture of and get its true color, it kept coming out red. This was the only picture that showed its true color. I feel like this color is a color everyone should have. Especially if you don't wear too many different colors. It's in between normal and taking you down that road to bright pink.
OCC FEATHERED is white. What I love about lip tars is that, there is almost every color you can think of. If theres not, then you can mix them up and make it! I didn't buy this white to wear on its own. Its purpose was to make my own colors. I really wanted a certain blue and purple at that moment and creating it myself what the only way to get it.
OCC TARRED is black. So, if you leave your lip tars laying in your lipstick drawer with out touching them for months, they kind of start separating. Some mix well than others, Tarred and Feathered are worst, in my experience. I spent a good twenty minutes mixing and shaking this tube and when applying it still separated on my lips. Although, if you get a good tube to start off with this black is the blackest black to ever black.
OCC ANIME is a bright blue pink. I love this color so much, but I always tell myself no when I think about purchasing a full size. Only because I have a few others that look just like it and are 100x easier to apply.
OCC RX is blue. This is another one that I have that separates constantly. It can look so much better than this, just make sure if you do buy a lip tar that the color isn't already separating.
OCC TECHNOPAGAN is a dark purple with blue shimmer. This happens to be my new love. Its just so amazing. It doesn't quite show the true color in picture, but, if you haven't tried this then head to sephora right now! When would I possibly wear this? I dont know, but it needs to be in my life forever and ever.
OCC VAIN is a dark teal. I completely forgot to take a close up picture of this, so here is my face. This is almost the blue I've been wanting, but just as beautiful.
The way I wear my lip tars is mixing them with lip balm, I think its a perfect alternative. Now that I'm finished writing about all the lipsticks I swatched, I keep thinking of all the other lipsticks I forgot. Like, how do i forget those! Thank you for taking the time to read this. This is all how I feel, personally, about these lip products. I know there are some people that have different experiences with them. Plus, stay tuned for a surprise I have coming soon!
