So i waited. And waited. More waiting.. All my searching only left me with finding them in 4-packs online for $50ish and i couldn't justify it for something i didn't know if i would like. i try to be reasonable with makeup purchases and with all the costs of life i couldn't do it. Then Sephora picked up the line and started selling them for under $20 i thought "Well hey! My favorite store, free to test it out, great return policy, Why not!?" So i started with Queen and then Memento and then mixed them in varying amounts and i love them both!
The only down side of these are that they are not as wearable as other lip products. By that i mean that Lip Tars are more high maintenance than a lip stick since a lip brush is required and don't you dare try to apply with out a mirror! ;D They are very pigmented so they last a long time
Here's my routine when i use them.
- Start with a generous swipe of Fresh Sugar all over
- Apply the rest of my makeup (to let it do its thing)
- Buff it off for super smooth, moisturized lips
- A thin coat of EOS since it's a good primer
- Sometimes i use it straight from the tube but this time i mixed them so a tiny drop does the trick
- The lip brush it comes with is okay but i usually use my own
- Start in the middle and work your way out
- Blot with tissue
-Repeat
See my nearly colorless lips? They need all the help they can get!
Normally i also do a quick clear lip liner but skipped that for the sake of time
Another important step is to dust a setting powder along your lip line. This can go over onto the Lip Tar and hold it in place longer since these can have a tendency to bleed or smear within the first 10 minutes.
BAM
This is after about 4 hours! Look at that staying power!
