Liptar
Posted: Wed Jan 06, 2010 7:04 pm
I know you asked about these before, and it was pretty unanimous that most of us weren't looking for a mix-your-own-shades-from-primary-colors kit.
Since then, I've finally tried a couple of OCC's liptars- one in clear, and i have to say it's a really awesome base. I've tried quite a few clear bases- jojoba, clear gloss, SN clear dipped in pigment- but a liptar is a liquid lipstick base- it's not sticky and one drop can turn any pigment into a longwearing lipstick. My first experiment was with red and i was really really happy with it. The only problem I've had with lip bases is that any shade with pearl in it will undoubtedly become a frosted lippie so mattes are best.
OCC's clear liptar is slightly minty, which I like- but I don't care about flavor, slightly sweetened SN flavor is always a hit. If it honestly can't be done at less than $12.50 a tube, I can accept that, but I know you've been looking for a lipbase and this is a great one.
*My bathroom lighting is yellow. All but the last are made from SN pigments mixed with OCC Clear liptar.
