OCC Lip Tar – gloss
Besides mixing my lip tars, I enjoy making customized lip glosses with them as well!
Seriously.. they cost $16 a pop, but i’ve had mine for about two or three years now and I still have all my tubes.
Not one is empty!
The proof? I still have the old tubes with a thick applicator and they look SERIOUSLY roughed up.
I apologize in advance for the flash pictures, but the lighting is driving me mad around heere! 
What we’ll need:
- Clear gloss
- A lip tar (or the Sleek pout paints)
- Optional: cosmetic grade glitter (non toxic)
- Optional: cosmetic pigment (also non toxic)
So I got myself a random lipgloss:
Rounded up some lip tars:
Hey I warned you!
They got a looot of loving!
Then some glitters and a Gosh pigment:
I started off by adding some Grandma lip tar to my gloss with a spatula (you can use a knife too, just let the product drip from the tip)
The stopper might make the tar unable to pass through, if that’s the case just push it in gently with the gloss applicator!
Add as much lip tar as you like! You can make it very sheer, or really opaque.
I chose pretty opaque. ^_^
This is what I got:
Then I added some glitter!
But I wasn’t satisfied with the big chunks of glitter so I added some gold pigment from Gosh as well!
The Gosh pigment added a pretty sparkle but also made my gloss more coral than pink:
Which is why I finished up with some red added to it and gooot..
*drumroll* 
I’m pretty pleased with the way it turned out, i’d wear this!

This is so cool! How fun to customize your own color! I love it too. I don’t think I’ll ever use up my occ lip tars.
Hahah probably not
Hey!! Happy new year!! I love reading your blog and have nominated you for the Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award. Please check my blog for the details… http://hearingwiththeeye.wordpress.com/2013/01/12/gratitude/
Welcome back!
thanks so much for the nomination, i’m really happy you enjoy muh blog! I need to catch up on award post but i’ll get to it soon!
You’re adorable! Totally irrelevant tho. Haha!
Hahaa xD (coming from the queen of the furry that’s a big compliment hehe, thanks!)
Hahahahaha. Right on!
Oooh pretty! Plus, now you’ve got a colour that’s totally unique.
Exactly! That’s what it’s all about!
So happy to see your post pop up in my reader! You are truly unique and have a fresh take on things. I cannot wait to try these – when I have more beauty budget money I will buy all the things my friends online review! haha.
Aaa your comment was in my spam folder. Yes you’re obviously a horrible Worpress spammer! LOL! And reading blogs is very bad for that isn’t it, i’ve made a list of things I want too haha. Annual / monthly favorites are the worst.
Haha I wonder why! You make me laugh.
They went into the bin again! :/ I really wonder why, do you have this on other blogs as well?
(and thanks for your super sweet comment!)
I thought I was pretty versed in make-up ‘things’ but I have to admit, I have never heard of a ‘lip tar’. What exactly is it? Just like super thick gloss?
Anyway, I love this idea! I am quite particular about my colors, so if I could just make it myself, it would make so much more sense. Yours looks wonderful! Beautiful as always
Lip tars are in their own category i’d say, completely different from other lip products.
They’re inSANEly pigmented, you need the teeniest amount, and apply like a lipgloss but dry demi-matte. The lasting power is way longer than that of lipsticks and glosses, but not as long as a stain either though. However they’re not drying to the lips like a stain could be. And a lot more pigmented as well.
Here’s the available shades:

Some can’t be worn on their own but most of them do
Pooh sorry for the long text.
Oh, no, I really appreciate the thorough explanation. Very cool. I’ll definitely check them out! Thank you!
What a great idea! And a nice colour too!
I am glad I discovered your blog. I use only cruelty free products and it’s so nice to find like minded people
Hey! Thanks for subscribing, I love it too
it’s hard to find like minded people on an everyday basis, sadly enough they don’t walk around with a leaping bunny logo on their head. Maybe they should. Maybe we should! Lol!
You are very very welcome
! I wouldn’t mind wearing the leaping bunny on my head, I would even put the words “Cruelty free” under it! I wish everybody would care enough to not buy products that are the result of animal suffering.
Same, but we can help spread awareness at least!
