Thoughts: I personally have been wanting to try OCC Lip Tars for a very long time. I have seen raves on several websites, blogs and youtube & since then, added a couple shades to my wish list. Lip Tars currently come in 22 shades.. but I was only interested in the most wearable every day pink shade called "Hush". It really wasn't enough for me to actually place an order. That was until a few new shades came out sometime this year.. one of which was "Cha Cha".. which is described as a pinked cantaloupe. I rarely order things online.. so It wasn't till the other day that I placed an order on a website for a few cosmetic samples.. that happened to sell Lip Tars. Without Hesitation, I placed "Cha Cha" in my shopping cart. Hush was out of stock :(

When I opened the package at first glance, I wasn't sure if the color was going to work for me. It looks almost neon coral in the tube. But! Once applied to the lips, the color comes out a lot lighter. It is bright, nevertheless.. but it isn't anything like MAC Vegas Volt.. What it actually reminds me of is MAC Everhip with Myth layered on top. It's like a very opaque, light peachy coral with a hint of pink.

Application: Because it is so pigmented, you only need a tiny drop. I've made the mistake a few times of applying too much and it was WAY too much pigment on my lips and it got all over my teeth (LOL.. eek!). A little goes a long way. Start out with less.. and then build the color to where you want it. The more you apply, the more opaque your lips look. The best way of applying this is with a lip brush or if you don't have one.. the wand of your lip gloss.

Overall: I love this lip tar. I've been wearing it everyday. The color is pretty long lasting, non sticky and even though it dries to a satin, it doesn't dry out my lips. Most days I mix it with clear gloss or Revlon Life's a Peach lip gloss. I highly recommend this shade if you are a peach lover. The next shade I have my eyes on is "Trick", which is described as a warm, creme beige neutral. It reminds me a lot of MAC Freckletone and NARS Honolulu Honey..

Here it is applied to my dry lips.. (a very thin layer. I didn't want to go too opaque)
