OCC Acacia Loose Color Concentrate Review

Hi folks :3 Today's review will be about another exciting little thing I got to play with and buy :)

Availability: This, unfortunately, is no longer being made.

Would I buy this again?: Absolutely!
Notes:  From hearing good things and my experience with the Lip Tars and their airbrush makeup (which I LOVE!!!!), I KNOW OCC is good stuff and while nearly all of their loose color concentrates are beautiful I've only owned one so far. This particular shade is one that I always swatch at makeup shows and consider but I didn't get it until now which is just... sadness. I'd also like to mention that ALL the loose colour concentrates are 100% vegan, carmine and cruelty-free. They are safe for use all over the face and body, and can be combined with airbrush medium if you'd like to apply them with an airbrush. :)

   The site describes Acacia as a yellow/green shimmer and to me, that's an understatement of what this shade really is. Acacia is a beautiful yellow gold base with a lime green pearl and turqouise microsparkle. It is so absolute gorgeous and summery, I love it.

Eyeliner Review: OCC Pool Boy Cosmetic Colour Pencil

Hi folks. Today's review is for: OCC Cosmetic Colour Pencil in Pool Boy

As a base and on the upper lash-line and waterline

Availability: This has been discontinued.

Would I buy this again?:Not sure.

Notes: In terms of color this is described as an aquatic blue, I'd have to agree with that; it's borderline turquoise but not quite green enough to be there. It glides on fairly smoothly over the lids and the waterline. Wear-wise... I'd give it about 4 hours, it isn't waterproof and seems to just fade away into nothingness as the day wears on. It does wear on the lash-line all day long and is a good alternative for those looking for a pencil that's not smudgy but is also not waterproof.

Eyeliner/Lipliner Review: OCC Black Dahlia Cosmetic Colour Pencil

Hi folks. This eyeliner is going to be: OCC Cosmetic Colour Pencil in Black Dahlia

As a base and on the upper lash-line and waterline

Availability: This product has been discontinued. 

Would I buy this again?:Not sure.

Notes: In terms of color this is described as a blackened red, I'd say it's a black raspberry/reddish plum/wine kind of color. This went on ok, it tugged a bit but nothing horrific. It wore well all day, didn't smudge, transfer or move, and stayed vibrant without irritating my eye in the slightest - I bring that up because, according to OCC, this shade isn't eye safe. It didn't bother my eyes and since you can no longer get it anyway I'm unsure that that's much of a concern but I figured I'd mention it. 

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments :)

Eyeliner Review: OCC Sybil Cosmetic Colour Pencil

Hi folks. This eyeliner is going to be: OCC Cosmetic Colour Pencil in Sybil

As a base and on the upper-lash-line and waterline

Availability: This has been discontinued.

Would I buy this again?:Not sure.

Notes: In terms of color this is described as a midnight brown-out, I'd say it's a dark brown. It glides on fairly smoothly over the lids and the waterline. Wear-wise... I'd give it about 4 hours, it isn't waterproof and seems to just fade away into nothingness as the day wears on. It does wear on the lash-line all day long and is a good alternative for those looking for a pencil that's not smudgy but is also not waterproof.

OCC Jubilee Loose Color Concentrate Review

Hi folks :3 Today's review will be about another exciting little thing I got to play with and buy :)

Availability: Unfortunately, this has been discontinued.

Would I buy this again?: Absolutely!
Notes: From hearing good things and my experience with the Lip Tars and their airbrush makeup (which I LOVE!!!!), I KNOW OCC is good stuff and while nearly all of their loose color concentrates are beautiful, Jubilee is what called my name. I really wanted to pick up at least one to play with and am so glad I got this :) Before I show you my swatches I'd like to mention that ALL the loose colour concentrates are 100% vegan, carmine and cruelty-free. They are safe for use all over the face and body, and can be combined with airbrush medium if you'd like to apply them with an airbrush. :)

   The site describes Jubilee as a baby blue shimmer and to me, that's an understatement of what this shade really is. Jubilee is a beautiful baby turquoise with what I'll refer to as teal star-bursts - they're really shimmer/micro-glitter which give this shade a duo-chrome quality that shows up over a dark base and changes with light. This is a gorgeous shade for anyone that loves anything in the blue or teal range and I highly recommend it. This has a very smooth texture and blends easily. Alrighty then, drool over the gorgeousness.

 It's like magical ocean-snow :3

The order from left to right is: black base, dry, white base, damp.  I used lune+aster Dawn to Dusk Gel Eyeliner in Black  for the black base and Sephora Collection Let It Snow Colorful Shadow & Liner for the white, the far right is swatched wet.
