OCC- Primary Pack- Swatches Galore!

Hey Everyone!
OCC or Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics are well known for their lip tars (not made with tarr). They are gluten, vegan and cruelty FREE! These lip products are super, highly and intensely pigmented (and yes, the three adjectives were necessary)!
They have a million different colors and they finally came out with an all star mini kit. This kit contains all the primary colors (blue, red and yellow) as well and black and white. With these colors in your arsenal, you can LITERALLY DO ANY LIP COLOR YOU WANT! The possibilities are endless!
These lip tars have a kind of mild minty flavor that goes away when dry. They go on super shiny but dry down to a matte finish. They stain the lips, and last a long time :) This pack also comes with a full size lip brush, which is the perfect tool for applying this product. 

You only need a small dot of the color to cover your lips and a pin point amount of another color to mix! I would suggest using a lip liner with these colors because they do tend to feather at the lip line.
This primary pack is sold at http://occmakeup.com/ or http://www.sephora.com (where I got it). This primary pack sells for $35 and is perfect for makeup artists :) (or for those of you curious and adventurous girls and boys). A regular full sized lip tar is $20, and you'll never run out! :)

Here are the swatches (I had a lot of fun making different colors...my lips were so in pain after this swatchfest, but it was so worth it!)

The Pack comes with a Red (NSFW), Blue (RX), Yellow (Traffic), White (Feathered) and Black (Tarred)

I wrote down each combination of colors I used to create each lip (so I and you would know for future reference- W2 refers to me putting double the white to further lighten the color)

Let's start with the WARM colors :)

Now on to COOL colors!

I was partial to the mint ;)

Hope you enjoyed!

Let me know your favorite combo!

Radiant Orchids and Electric Purples!

Hey guys, welcome back :)

Pantone named the color of the year as 'Radiant Orchid' and seeing as I'm a big fan of magenta pinks and bright purples, I decided to share with you all my favorite purple and orchid lipsticks. So get ready for a lot of selfies swatching each color :)
Oh and p.s I'm not wearing any makeup in these photos (just a little bit of concealer under my eyes, good lighting and of course, the lipsticks).

So let's get started with the first batch!

First up is Maybelline's Neon Baby Lips in Berry Bomb. It's a darker purple in the tube but swatches quite sheer, offering a light wash of purple for those girls who want a purple tint with out the BAM IN YOUR FACE!
Next we have Rimmel's Lasting Finish Colour Rush in I Want Candy. First of all, let's talk about the smell. It's like opening a package of mini eggs- vanilla cupcake yumminess! This color is a bright pinky magenta and offers a gorgeous stain.

Third lippy is the Maybelline color whisper in Mad for Magenta. It's a silky, moisturizing lip product. I would say is a more red toned pinky magenta and it's so flattering :)

In this corner we have the limited edition lipstick from MAC called Daddy's Little Girl. It's literally the bomb dot com. So glad I got this. It's a true blue toned Magenta and it lasts forever and is just plain gorgeous!
Next up is MAC's Rebel. This cranberry shade has hints of purple in it, which I thought fit well into this list of lippies!

And here we have the 'piece de resistance'; MAC's Heroine. I can't even with this shade. It's such a GORGEOUS purple and it has a pink tone in it which makes so wearable and stunning! It's not for the faint of heart, but it's definitely one of my all time favorite lipsticks (right next to MAC's candy yum yum).
The last shade is Maybelline's Lavender Voltage and it's pretty much a dupe for Heroine. It's creamy as opposed to Heroine's Matte finish and it has just a teeny amount of blue tone. Still super stunning and bold <3

Hope you enjoyed this Selfie Swatch Fest!
Don't be afraid to wear purple- it comes in many different tones and finishes!
Experiment and don't ever be afraid to rock a bold lip ;)
