Obsessed with @OCCMakeup Lip Tar
OBSESSED WITH COSMETICS? So are they! Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics is 100% cruelty free, vegan makeup, rich in pigment and quality. I tried their “Lip Tar” Lipstick Gloss and fell in love! Available in about 30 shades, these ultra-saturated lip colors contain an unprecedented amount of pigment, so a little goes a very, very long way! They glide on smooth like lipgloss but dry like lipstick. I have three shades, pink “Queen”, orange “Beta”, and green “Lo-Fi”.
All it takes is a dab of color on a lipstick brush! These colors are great for mixing and blending, to create a personalized pigment perfect for you! I used the greenish Lip Tar as a “creamer”. When mixed with the pink and orange, it pales the color for a nude, creamy look. The best thing about this product is its long-wear formula. The satin finish it creates lasts all day long!
OCC is an international cosmetic brand and can be found all over the world, but if you’re in New York City, you can find their Pro store at 174 LUDLOW STREET, New York, NY. To see more about OCC Makeup and their products, visit their website!

Ingestible Beauty with ioBeauty + @occmakeup
Last week I got the most curious email! It is a beauty product that has uses super-fruit properties to rejuvenate your skin from the inside out. So here is how you can banish signs of aging by treating yourself with an Ingestible Beauty Cocktail! Oh the things I would do for flawless skin!
So there are 3 ways you can do this…
I am wearing OCC liptar in Butch (Periwinkle Blue)
1. Take drops directly onto your tongue! Tastes yummy like any gogi, acai supplement really. Looks so Twilight right?
2. You can mix it with any drink. I mixed it with water. Taste like nothing really. Really watered down juice kind of.
3. You can put it directly onto your skin and rub it in! I think I will try this way tonight!
The iO Beauty Booster’s unique apply/digest technology allows the iO Beauty regimen to treat, protect and rejuvenate both topically and internally.
Price: $38

This technology harness’ the power of the high-performance ingredients found in the regimen’s topical and ingestible formulas to deliver healthy, younger-looking skin. The regimen’s key component is a blend of biodynamic Wild Australian Blackberry, Goji Berry, Mangosteen, Açai and Equis AV. Just a few drops of the exclusive blend of minerals and 3,200 ORAC units of antioxidants provide comprehensive protection and revitalizing benefits from the inside out.Co-developer, Tanya Zuckerbrot is the official dietician of the Miss Universe Organization!
