OCC Lip Tars - Nearly Neon Box Set

This is the last installment of my OCC lip tar swatches so I figured I would end this series with a *BANG* That's right today you get to see swatches of the Nearly Neon box set. This set comes with five of the brightest lip tars they have and a #009 Angled Brush. (I would like to preface this by saying I am sorry that all of the shots of the bottles are bad, my camera had a problem with the colors so they all look basically the same. I can promise you that the swatches show the colors much better.)


Beta- vividly neon orange
Queen- intense, nearly-neon red/pink
Harlot- vibrant cherry red with a fiery coral undertone
Anime- intense, no holds-barred neon pink
Hoochie- super bright true magenta

Top: Beta, Harlot, Queen

All swatched over bare skin - no lip liner

I wanted to save these for last because they were so bright which of course makes them best! I love every single one of these colors. The only one I don't see me wearing a lot is Beta, but I still love it anyway. Harlot is probably my favorite. Lately I have been really loving cherry reds and corals so to mix them is just amazing! I think anyone could wear this color and look great. Queen is also lovely and I think most people could wear this as long as they like a bright pink lip. I was upset at first that it was so pink, I imagined it would be more red. Once I got over my disappointment I feel in love with the color it actually is. I had the same problem with Anime when I received it. I thought it would be more pink but instead it is more purple. It is pretty for what it is and I can see me wearing this color a lot too. Hoochie is a very pretty, somewhat wearable pinky violet. I  could see wearing this for fun with a neutral eye.

What do you think of these bright colors? Which is your favorite?

Would you wear any of them? How would you wear them?

NTMS Challenge - Blue Winter FOTD

As soon as I heard what the challenge was I knew exactly what I wanted to do. When I thought of blue winter I thought "this is the perfect time to use my Kat Von D Metal Orchestra palette!!" Perfect. This look is not perfect, but it was my first attempt at something like this and I think it turned out well. I have a tutorial on the way.

What I used:

Eyes:

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils in Milk and Electric Blue (available at Ulta)

Kat Von D Metal Orchestra Palette (available at Sephora)

[Dagger, Techno, First Class, Razor Gray]

LA Splash Spotlight Mascara (available at Ulta)

Too Faced Absolutely Invisible Candlelight (available at Ulta or Sephora)

Lips:

OCC Lip Tar in Hoochie (available at their website)  I couldn't help myself and was just looking for an excuse to use it

Brushes:

ELF small smudge brush

ELF small precision brush

ELF eyeshadow "c" brush

ELF contour brush

Sonia Kashuk small eyeshadow brush

ELF Professional eyeshadow brush (this brush seems similar as the one I used came in a gift set and I cannot find it on their site)

I do not know if I would wear it often, but I think it is pretty .

What do you think of this look?
