My Current Obsession

I have a pretty extensive makeup collection. 400+ loose pigments, 20 or so palettes, countless lippies, 200+ bottles of polish, you get the idea. But there are is one item I reach for on an almost daily basis. Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics (OCC) makes a WONDERFUL lip product called Lip Tar that now comes in three finishes, Matte, Metallic, and Gloss.

My latest OCC obsession is their spring '14 release, Rollergirl. OCC describes it as a vibrant lavender and I tend to agree. If neon lilac were a color, it would be Rollergirl. I was worried it wouldn't work well on my olive/yellow skin tone, but I absolutely love it.

I was excited for this shade because I thought it would be more similar to a discontinued shade from a few years ago that I missed out on, Belladonna. This shade is much lighter and brighter than Belladonna and I happen to like it a lot more.

Here's a picture of Belladonna for comparison sake, a friend sent me a sample.

I have a special spot in my heart for purple lippies and Rollergirl has taken the current top spot, over Mac Heroine and others.What is your favorite purple lippie?

Day 21

So, I went out to do a photography job tonight and decided to wear my new lipstick creation. I go SO many compliments. I did a really neutral eye since my lips were all like "BAM!" Anyway, pictures? Yes.

Please ignore my derpy face.

Day 20

This is going to be a short little post because I'm still not feeling 100% better. Everyone has been going gaga over the new(ish?) MAC lipstick Heroine. I'm not exempt to this. I would love a tube of the stuff, however, I lack the funds for a tube. So, I went to Walmart to see if I could find a dupe. I could not. I did find an awesome dark purple lipstick by Rimmel and threw some OCC Anime Lip Tar on top and ended up with an awesome color that is probably a little shy of being Heroine.

This is Rimmel Lasting Finish by Kate, no color name only a number: 04, and Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar in Anime. It may not be an exact dupe for Heroine, but I love how it looks anyway. :)
