Nuts About Nylon!

Hey!

It may be mid April but the sun is finally out and I thought it would be the perfect time to showcase the perfect Spring/Summer bold lip! It's about time we ditch the dark plums, reds and burgundies and start preparing ourselves for pinks, corals and nudes. Ah Summer is coming!

I love wearing this with a very fresh faced makeup look! 

 (Picture without flash so you can see the true colour payoff!)

If you already follow my blog you will recognise the name OCC from a post I did last year featuring their most talked about product Lip Tar. If you missed that post you can read it here, but today I have a new shade for you!

I picked up Nylon in New York back in February (Haul video to follow!) and it is a colour completely out of my comfort zone being so pale I thought a bright neon pink would be a bit much but surprisingly I just can't get enough. But let me tell you a little bit more about the product itself, this isn't your regular lip product, it is more of a liquid lipstick. The pigmentation is so strong that you only need a tiny amount to get a vibrant colour pay off. It is also minty who doesn't want that?! For $18 you get loads of product and a colour that is so unique. Nylon and Trollop are only two shades I've tried but you can check out all the shades available on the Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics website here!

I have a feeling this will be a Summer staple product!

OCC Lip Tars

Hey Ladies, 

When I was in London last year I stopped by the OCC (Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics) counter at IMATS. I've always wondered what the kerfuffle was about their Lip Tars. Usually you see people like Queen Of Blending and XSparkage on YouTube using them and saying they're amazing. So, I picked one up and thought I would do a little review. 

I only bought one Lip Tar because I just wanted to try it out, but since then I want them all! The quality of this product is amazing, let's start with the pros's. First of all you only need a tiny amount of product to get a great pay off and to cover your whole lips. Second of all it has like a minty scent, which is good in my opinion as you always have fresh breath.Third, there is an absolute ton of colours to pick from, they also leave a tiny amount of shine so no real need for a lip-gloss. Fourth? the last for absolute ages! 

The only con to this product is that it has such good staying power that it leaves you with a bit of a stain and your lips become slightly dryer. But in my opinion the pros's out weigh the cons so I think this is a great product. The Lip Tar that I have is in the colour Trollop, a fab hot pink. It only cost 6 pound for this which is an absolute steal and I think they had an offer on at that time which was 3 for 15 pounds! So, If you are at IMATS this year keep your eyes peeled and pick some up because you will not regret it. 

Love, 

S
