It's neat that Sephora gives you a free mini brush. I wish they did that with Nylon.

Yeah that would have been nice!

I like all of these new colors. I'm not in a big rush to buy them, though. I have Nylon and I like it, but lip tars just aren't my favorite lip products. I am looking forward to Sephora getting these, though. It would be great if my local Sephora stocked them b/c we have some brands in there that make me wonder why they're being sold there. Hello, Charlotte Ronson.

i just found out my Sephora doesn't have the new colors, thats's a little annoying... I have to order Black Dahlia online.  

yes I agree,  Charlotte Ronson, lol.

Here are swatches: http://www.temptalia.com/occ-butch-lip-tar-review-photos-swatches

Grrr. Arf-ing US Post Awful. Supposedly my package was delivered on Sept 8. I sure never saw it. I just kept waiting for it. Finally i went in to complain. They said they needed more information, a USPS Post Office confirmation number. So i went back a couple days later with the #. Now they say i need to phone another office and turn in some paperwork.

They "kindly" said i should re-order and USPS will pay postage... That means i would be paying $50 for 2 lip tars - plus the original $5 postage. Seems outrageous to me.

I am sooooo NOT amused.

The Lip Tars are up on Sephora now.

I've decided to just jump in and order some sooner rather than later. It's funny because I'll probably order 2 or 3 at once and I'll have 2 or 3 little brushes to go with them. Don't ask me why that tickles me, it just does.

It tickles me too!

in the end all colors are there, instead of the ones listed by T

mad to find that none of the new ones are up there yet...

I am surprised, I would expect this with UPS, not USPS.  Nevertheless, I have experienced them to scan a package as delivered before they deliver it, then take it back to the regional office.  I would go there, insist on talking to a supervisor and get to the bottom of it.  Sorry that happened to you.

On another note, Sybil looks so dark in swatches.  If I tried to wear it, it would look like I had been eating a Poo Poo Popsicle.  NOT attractive in the swatches at all.

poo. poo. pop. sicle.

i. can. not. rofl!

Wahhh I wanted a lip brush with Nylon.

And martiangurll - that is what's known as... a poopsicle.

I went to the local Sephora and they don't have the new ones yet :(

Just found this thread and wanted to mention that lecosmetique.com has all the new shades. They have free shipping/no tax and they ship within like 12 hours of ordering (at least for me). Not affiliated or anything, just really love this site :-)

The South Beach Sephora is currently carrying OCC lip tars. I want to get down there and swatch Penny Royal and Kava Kava. I was on the fence about them at IMATS. Hopefully I can get my hands on that Nylon and Grandma. 

Cant wait to get some lip tars hopefully i love them as much as everyone I hear does. Oh and I don't know if anyone else saw this but I might even try it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmnTTdtXIMQ&feature=plcp  Encore on youtube turned a lip tar into a lipstick

Well, seems like USPS somehow found my OCC package after all, which they supposedly delivered on Sept 8th... not! It was just delivered a couple days ago, and since i wasn't home, the carrier gave it to my landlady who lives downstairs. She just called to let me know she has it. Whew! I can't wait for tonight to see those pretty colors (Butch and Belladonna)...

I went to two Sephoras today one didn't have the display up and the other just had 3 colors in the impulse buy bins near the register. The colors were Strumpet, NSFW and Anime. I already have Anime and NSFW just doesn't interest me. Strumpet reminds me of a NARS lipstick I own( Funny Face). I'll wait until they get the full selection or purchase them from online

I've been to my local Sephora and they only had three colors -- Grandma, Anime and another shade (it was a bright color). Hopefully, they'll be adding more in the future.

On a side note, I'm glad the Lip Tars now come in a small packaging with instructions and a mini lip brush. It gives consumers how to properly use the product. I was mortified to see a few girls at the store directly apply the samples onto their lips. What a gloppy stained mess!

I just purchased my first three yesterday  @ brick and mortar Sephora and I love them. I got Anime, Grandma and NSFW. I went to 2 different Sephoras thinking they had something different and they were the same. I think I'm going to order a few online.

Boy, this OCC stuff is intense. A dot the size of a pin head on my lip brush is enough to cover my lips. For a brighter color, i put another pin head on the brush.

I am enjoying Butch today. I have ED Blue Orbit on my eyes, lined with Industrial Pearlglide Intense Eye Liner, which i find to be a chameleon, switching between blue-grey, teal, and periwinkle, depending on the light. For contrast i blushed with Light Year from Heavenly Creature, which is a pinky peach, to add warmth... and i topped my cheeks with a fan brush of Chenman Reflects Blue.

I'll test Belladonna tomorrow. I put a little swatch on my hand last night and it seemed a bit iridescent, but i'm not sure if that's really the case until i get it on my lips.

lots of colors sold out on Sephora's website,  including what I wanted.  i can't win!
