Kitsch's Caboodles Vol. 6

This is Chester See. He is adorable and super talented and did a pretty great cover of Miley Cyrus' Wrecking Ball. I think it helps that I totally love the song, but he has an incredible voice and everyone should check him out!

A Beautiful Mess has a recipe for Homer Simpson Donuts! If you know me at all, you'll know that I love donuts and these are my favorite to look at... though when I'm eating these types of donuts, I'm a chocolate frosting gal. Fun fact.

The Laughing Medusa made a list of the Four Tattoo Books Worth Reading. These are tattoo books with content on top of having artwork, instead of just flash art books. I've yet to read any of them, but they all sound really good to me!

The Tiniest Firecracker did an Edit the Editorial where she took an editorial and did it her way. Such a great idea and I love her take on it!

Kitty Cat Stevens posted about her Skirt Makeover with Natural Dye & Fabric Paint that I am completely jealous of! She took a cute skirt and made it even cuter.

During Lil BUB's #askBUB session, Magenta asked BUB a question: "aqqqqqqwcfffffffff54444" (Magenta asking if Lil BUB & Friendz will be available on DVD sometime) #askBUB

And BUB responded! She thinks Magenta is a qtpie. Hooray! (The first part of the tweet was actually Magenta walking on my keyboard. Haha.)

Jezebel's Lindy West wrote an amazing article called Thin Women: I've Got Your Back, Could You Get Mine? If you read anything this week, make it this post. Lindy really got it right.

Neon Rattail showed us the Seven Best Bedrooms from TV & Movies and I think she really hit the nail on the head! It would be awesome to have any of those bedrooms.

Phyrra put together a list of her Favorite Cruelty Free Beauty Products. If you want a long, in depth list of the best cruelty free products as well as a bunch of different brands, this is the one to check out.

Miss Moody Blue pretty much read my mind when it came to NY Fashion Week Obsessions. So many awesome things!

And I leave you with this video. It is life changing. You're welcome.

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar Swatchfest

L to R: Ophelia, Grandma, Melange, Stalker, Vintage

From the website: OCC Lip Tar combines the longevity of a lipstick, with the ease of application of a gloss. Goes on slick and moist, and dries down to a satin finish. Ultra-saturated in color, Lip Tar contains an unprecedented amount of pigment – a little goes a very, very long way! An intense yet featherweight layer of color that never looks or feels heavy. Meant to be mixed, Lip Tar comes in concise array of colors for a limitless selection of shades made by you! A simple, elegant formula that contains Hemp Oil, Peppermint Oil and Vitamin E, OCC Lip Tar feels as good on the lips as it looks!

Please excuse my less-than-perfect swatches; this is my first time! These colors come in a set called the Pro’s Picks Lip Tar Set v1.0 and they can be bought here for $49.00. Lip Tars are also sold individually (with a lip brush) at Sephora or OCC for $18.00 in a few different finishes. I don’t find them to be too drying, but I wouldn’t say that they are hydrating. I would suggest wearing them over a lip balm or lip primer.

All swatches are one coat of lip tar on top of Blistex Medicated Lip Balm.

Ophelia (basic ladylike pink)

Melange (terracotta neutral)

Grandma (classic coral)

Stalker (true blue based red)

Vintage (deep burgundy)

Can I just say how much I love these?! The pigmentation is out of this freakin’ world and when everyone says a little bit goes a long way, they are not lying. I put a small sized dot (seen in a picture above) on the back of my hand and apply the lip tar with the OCC lip brush and that usually will be enough for a full application.

If I had to pick, I’m pretty sure Melange is my favorite out of this bunch, which is really bizarre because normally I tend to go for pinks/purples/reds.

Oh, and also, these are vegan and cruelty free!

Which one is your favorite?

Have you used Lip Tars before? Do you like them?
