Sunday Social Vol. 2

This week's Sunday Social is all about beauty!

How old were you when you started wearing makeup?
Probably around 12 or 13? I only really wore black eyeliner (super smudged!) and lip color back then.

What is your daily beauty routine?
I don't always wear makeup, so I would say that my daily routine is washing and moisturizing my face and wearing lip balm. Super exciting, I know.

Sephora VIB Sale

The highly anticipated VIB sale from Sephora is finally here! I don't know about you, but I saved up a bunch of money so I'd be able to grab several splurge-worthy sets and products. VIBs can use the code VIBTOPIA for 20% from 07NOV13-11NOV13, so it's not on for a very long time. My plan for this sale was to mostly buy things that were Sephora exclusives, so if a specific brand has a Black Friday/holiday sale on their personal website that's 20% off or better than 20% off, I can get things from that brand then. I like to think that I'm a savvy shopper! Haha.

These are my recommendations (in no particular order):

sephora, vib sale, makeup, cosmetics, sale, NARS, Urban Decay, YSL, Too Faced, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, LORAC, Marc Jacobs Beauty, Laura Mercier, Kat Von D, Smashbox, Hourglass, Tarte, Formula X, wishlist

All of these products are on my wishlist, but I couldn't afford to get them on top of what I had already planned to buy. Damn having a finite amount of money to spend! Boooo!
sephora, vib sale, makeup, cosmetics, sale, NARS, Urban Decay, YSL, Too Faced, Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics, LORAC, Marc Jacobs Beauty, Laura Mercier, Kat Von D, Smashbox, Hourglass, Tarte, Formula X, wishlist

Laura Mercier Artist's Palette for Eyes | Marc Jacobs Beauty Style Eye-Con No. 7 in The Tease | Too Faced A Few of My Favorite Things | Kat Von D True Romance Eyeshadow Palette in Poetica | Smashbox The Master Class Palette II | Sephora Favorites Give Me Some Lip | Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Diffused Light | Formula X for Sephora The Twenty-Two | Tarte The Tarte of Giving Collector's Set & Travel Bag

Now, don't quote me, but I think I heard something about Sephora planning an event for people who haven't reached VIB level, so have no fear if you're not a VIB! I'll let you guys know as soon as I hear anything solid.

Are you buying anything during this VIB sale? What's on your wishlist?

Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tar Swatchfest

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)

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

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?
