INTRODUCING THE GARDEN, OCC’S S/S 2012 LIP TAR & NAIL LACQUER COLLECTION

by / blog, Miscellaneous / 2 Comments

 

Spring has sprung at OCC and hidden among the lilacs and pansies is a different shade of floral. Inspired by psychotropic and poisonous plants, The Garden collection turns traditional spring pastels upside down, injecting them with hallucinatory notes of nearly-neon vibrancy.  Mixed in are more subtle neutral lip shades, meant to be paired with a dizzying flash of color on the eyes, in this garden of earthly (and unearthly) delights.  I’m excited for these new shades.  I always receive compliments whenever I wear a lip tar. 

This collection is available March 23, 2012 online occmakeup.com or at Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics at 174 Ludlow Street, New York, NY 10002

 

ABOUT OCC LIP TAR

A stunning new innovation in lip color, OCC Lip Tar combines the longevity of a lipstick, with the ease of application of a gloss. Goes on slick and moist, and dries down to a satin finish. Ultra-saturated in color, Lip Tar contains an unprecedented amount of pigment – a little goes a very, very long way! An intense yet featherweight layer of color that stands up to the scrutiny of Hi-Def Video and Digital Photography, without ever looking (or feeling!) heavy. Meant to be mixed, Lip Tar comes in concise array of colors for a limitless selection of shades made by you!
Like all of our products, OCC Lip Tar is 100% Vegan and Cruelty-Free, and is also free of parabens and other harsh preservatives. A simple, elegant formula that contains Hemp Oil, Peppermint Oil and Vitamin E, OCC Lip Tar feels as good on the lips as it looks!
DIRECTIONS: Apply the tiniest bead of Lip Tar with our #010 Precision Lip Brush for complete, opaque coverage, either mixed with other shades or on its own. Applying too much product can result in feathering outside the lipline, so remember: a little goes a very long way!
SRP: $14.00

 

 

ABOUT OCC NAIL LACQUER

A modern colour palette and formulation to match, OCC’s professional quality nail lacquers are densely pigmented, quick-drying and super long lasting. Formulated with the Editorial Manicurist in mind, the result is lots of color using very little product for nails that are camera-ready just moments after the application. Available in Satin, Matte and Metallic texture and both Sheer and Opaque finishes.
SRP: $8.00

Especially for the Goddess in You: Introducing DIOSA Nail polish – Win a free Manicure!

by / blog, Miscellaneous / 0 comments

“DIOSA” is the spanish word for “Goddess”. The creator, Diana Long believes that the amazing women in our lives should be treated like the DIOSAs they are.  She states, “Being a woman is a gift and we should be appreciative of all the gifts in our lives, right?”

 

About DIOSA:

DIOSA aims to accomplish three goals:

(1) Good Polish!
Provide high quality, non-toxic, vegan-friendly nail polish in irresistible colors!

(2) Inspire by putting a face with the nails:
DIOSA will put a face with the nails. I want the DIOSA women in their 20s-30s yrs old to inspire their peers and the girls in our lives who are in need of positive role models. We will accomplish this by sharing the stories about how the women who wear DIOSA Nail Polish got to where they are today. Our women are multi-dimensional, if they can do it, so can you!

(3) Remind hard-working women that it OK to be who they are!
Nail polish is a small, temporary, and affordable way to express our individuality, personality, or mood. I also want women to remind women to take some “me” time… like polishing your nails once a week. Look good while working hard!

By wearing this polish you are spreading the message that we can inspire each other and those who come after us!

Nail polish will be available for sale in June 2012 and the official website will be launched the same date.

 

Here is a sneak preview of DIOSA’s upcoming shades from its D-Day Collection available online June 2012!
