REVIEW: OBSESSIVE COMPULSIVE COSMETICS MATTE LIP TARS

1.06.2014

I am always in search of great lip colors! Especially colors that will help moisturize my lips and last all day! I think I have just found a brand that I will be obsessed with for a while...


I was going to apply the other colors for the review, but I think the two colors I wore recently will give a good idea of what they look like when applied.  My roommate Shannah got me this Sephora holiday exclusive 4 set. Thanks Shannah!

Now, let's get to the review!




The set contains four colors:Memento (a pink/plum neutral); NSFW ( true, balanced red); Anime (Vibrant neon pink); and Black Dahlia ( blackened red). The two colors I've used thus far are the NSFW and Black Dhalia ( see photo above).


Pros:
-100% Vegan, cruelty-free
-Goes on smoothly
-Easy to apply and dry quickly
-Very moisturizing
-Super pigmented and a little goes a long way
-Lasts a VERY long time

Cons:
-The price, a tube is about $18. It's a liquid lip color that's very pigmented. You need apply very little color on the applicator.  For that reason, it might last a while. I have yet to go through half of my Black Dahlia and I use it all the time!


-The consistency, it's watery but it's also smooth and glossy when you are applying it and it does dry to a stain matte finish. This is not really bad thing, but it can get messy if you are not careful. I am not a big fan of watery lip colors because you need to be patient when applying to make sure it doesn't spread everywhere.


Overall: I thought it had a weird consistency at first but I got used to it.  It got messy when I first tried to apply it using the applicator provided, but I got the hang of it and now I use it perfectly. Not only does the color stay on all day, it also moistures your lips. I love this product and I plan on buying more colors.
