I recently pre-ordered a couple more Lip Tars, thanks to the Makeup Artist Boutique. They're now sending out Lip Tars from stock, having received a shipment from OCC in the US. I chose Plum, one of the regular line shades, and Demure, one of the new Spring shades - Hoochie looked too bright for me, and since I'm not a fan of overly light lips, neither Vapid nor Complex appealled very much. Here are some on-lip swatches:
Plum - I wouldn't say this was a particularly plummy shade at all, at least not in the traditional plum lip product sense. It's also miles away from the colour swatch given on the OCC site. Very cool dark grey-toned purple. This was also a tad more liquid in texture than the other Lip Tars I have.
Demure. Not at all demure, is it? This has the same texture as other Lip Tars and is a VERY bright VERY cool, blue-toned purplish fuschia.
Unfortunately for me, both of these look terrible against my cool, pale skin. Demure clashes terribly with my hair, whereas Pageant sort of clashes but still looks good. I've obviously had a terrible lip product week - out of two products, only two are remaining in my collection.
Have you indulged in any of the new Spring Lip Tars?

Is it me, or is Plum a really odd colour? It looks a bit grey to me?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the on lip swatches, Plum was the only one I wanted because I thought it was a plummy colour but it looks a lot more purply grey..
ReplyDeleteIt's very grey! I can't think of many skin tones that would be able to pull it off as is.
ReplyDeleteI've just ordered a bunch of OCC Lip Tars! I can't wait to try them out! Thanks for these swatches =)
ReplyDeleteI think Demure looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried mixing the two together to see what colour you get?
ReplyDeleteI love these two colours i must say!
Ahhhh I have Demure coming in the mail (courtesy of GetLippie's giveaway) and now I'm SO EXCITED to use it! It looks insane
ReplyDeletePhyrra & SilhouetteScreams: Demure is indeed awesome. So bright. I'm so disappointed that it clashes with my hair!
ReplyDeleteSakara: Nope, I've not tried mixing them togther; good idea though!
I actually love this Plum colour and would love to try it! Where can I purchase this?
ReplyDeleteYou'll find it at love-makeup.co.uk Anon! :)
