OCC Lip Tars - Naturally Neutral Box Set Swatches

On Black Friday I received an email from OCC saying there was going to be a sale as well as two box sets of lip tars. I immediately picked up the two lip tar box sets after falling in love with the first set I had purchased. Today I am going to show you swatches of the Naturally Neutral box set. The set includes five lip tars and their #009 Angle Brush.

Interlace- subtle peach neutral
Melange- deep terracotta neutral
NSFW- true primary red
Grandma- clean and classic true coral
Femme- pale yellow-based pink

I did not think I was going to like Interlace or Melange, but I was pleasantly surprised when I swatched them. I think Interlace would be great for mixing to tone down a color and I feel like I could wear Melange out -as is. I think NSFW would be a great red lip for anyone of any skin tone. It is bright and primary red. I am still undecided as to how I feel about Femme on its own and as before Grandma is still my favorite!

What do you think of these neutral colors? Would you wear any of them alone or do you feel they are more suited to being mixed?

OCC Lip Tars Swatches

Yes I finally gave in and ordered some to see what all the hubbub was about. It took me just about forever do decide which lip tars I wanted to try. There are so many amazing choices, but eventually I picked out five relatively wearable colors to try out. The five lip tars that I chose are: 

Feathered- pure, opaque white

Hush- fleshy, natural pink

Grandma- clean and classic true coral

Queen- intense, nearly-neon red/pink

Anime- intense, no holds-barred neon pink

Top- Feathered, Hush. Grandma
Bottom- Anime, Queen

After testing these out I was totally hooked. I have recently become obsessed with lip and face products. This is totally unfamiliar territory for me, so when something is so easy to use I can't help but say, "YES PLEASE! I WANT THEM ALL!" Quite obviously I would not wear feathered on its own, I purposely bought it to use when mixing lip tars. I absolutely love Grandma. I can wear this color everyday and not get sick of it or look out of place. I also really like Queen but my Fiance does not. He says I look weird because it is too bright. Personally I really like bright lip colors on very pale skin. To each his own. :)

What do you think of OCC Lip Tars? Do you own any? Which is your favorite?

What kind of lip colors do you like to wear?

Also, do you like how I did the swatches, any suggestions on how to make it better?
