Lip Tar, Anita, 0.14 Ounce

As with lip tars in the tube, the RTW lip tar is best applied with very little product. I scrape the wand as dry as possible before brushing/patting it onto my lips. Whether it is this color or the new RTW delivery method, I get very easy, even coverage and don't get bleeding as with some of the OCC tube colors. Additionally, I don't need a primer to get great color saturation and longevity. And due to the convenience of having a built-in delivery system, I find I use this product much more frequently than I do the OCC tube colors.A significant downside is that, for nearly the same price, the RTW lip tars have less than 1/2 the amount of product as the full-size tubes (0.14 oz compared to 0.33 oz; for comparison, test tubes have 0.08 oz). OTOH, this is the only way to get Sebastian (an amazing color!), and for me the convenience is worth the trade-off in value.If you're not familiar with Sebastian, be sure to look at pictures of the color on a real person before making a decision—it goes on significantly more grey than the mauve that it appears to be in the tube. I'm light-skinned with olive undertones and get compliments on the color very often. I wear it to the office and out after work—it's very versatile. On a darker-skinned person, I think this would make a lovely nude.

I was not used to such a thick lip cosmetic. But a friend suggested this after i admired it on them. It goes on smooth but thick, which takes some getting used. The shine is amazing and color beautiful. It indeed is a great product. The color lasted for hours but there is some lip staining after removal. I loved it so much, I'm going to order other colors.

I would not buy again. This should be sold in drug stores - Definitely not worth $15. I had the tube for less than an hour and the plastic piece inside got stuck to the white part. Gloss everywhere - it was a mess! I finally got it reattached correctly, but needless to say I cannot screw the cap on all the way or tightly; if I do, the same thing happens. The color is nice and it does last a long time.

Beautiful color. Unique minty scent since made with all natural ingredients including peppermint. It's not a matte product, and it works best with a good lip liner so it doesn't bleed over your lip line since it is not a product that dries on your lips, but more of a gloss/lip tar. But I love it! Great company! Will buy again! Came quick and in perfect condition. A+

I love OCC Lip Tar. I put it on in the morning, put a bit of finishing powder on top of it to set it in place and it stays ALL DAY! even after drinking or eating, plus it doesn't come off on my boyfriend when I kiss him which he appreciates. It will dry out your lips a bit, but that's to be expected by a color that's going to last that long. Totally worth it because the color is vibrant and gorgeous.

I waited a while to get Technopagan, and then after obtaining Black Dahlia and Black Metal Dahlia in the old school OCC tubes, I waited longer for the RTW version to come out. I'm using this with an Etude House Play 101 pencil (#35 dark blue with glitter) so that could be causing some of the dryness that I'm experiencing, but after my Dahlia experiences, I dare not use OCC lip tar without some sort of lip liner as well.The color is *saturated*. Lovely, dark, kind of unforgiving of an unsteady hand. You need to be confident when applying this. I noted that it would have to be reapplied during the day, but honestly, maybe only once after a meal. This lip tar has serious staying power. It has a subtle, minty smell and feels more like a paste than the other lip tars I've used. It's not as runny, but it *will* feather on you.As with the Dahlias, I find that using the "anti-feathered" lip primer as well as a very thin line of concealer around the lips is necessary to avoid feathering further down the line.Treat this lip tar with respect, and it will work wonders for you. I'm knocking one star off for the consistency (which again might be due to my lip liner) and the usual Lip Tar tendency to feather.

I wanted to like these as I feel OCC truly has fantastic shades, but I'm a hardcore fan of long wearing matte liquid lipsticks and these just don't hold up to that. They're very much a highly pigmented gloss. I tried black dahlia as well as the metal version. The metal was easier to apply as it didn't streak and was opaque, but, overall, still very messy and prone to feathering immediately upon applicaion. I lined my lips and tried mattifying powder to no avail. Beautiful lip shades that will sit in my collection untouched as they're too much of a hassle. I'm a swipe and go girl. I want to be able to eat, drink, and kiss without becoming preoccupied with thoughts of looking like Courtney Love after a bender. The only long lasting thing about these was the stain it left on my lips after wiping the product off.

Beautiful color. Exactly as shown.
