We’re delighted to bring you the second in our series of Beauty Blogger Tips & Tutorials from Louise of http://looweezbx.blogspot.co.uk/ Louise shares a bright, fun and sparkly look that she created for Valentine’s Day this week......

My Valentine’s Day inspired look was created with the following:

Eyes

MUA e\s in Shade 16 all over the eye

Neve Cosmetics e/s in Collier on lid (used wet)
Nars e/s duo in Kuala Lumpur II in crease

Black gel liner

Black mascara

Lips
OCC Lip Tar in Yaoi 
Lime Crime Lipgloss in Snowsicle

The Lip Tar and Lipgloss were sent to me to include in this look.  Yaoi is amazing! It's so bright and the finish is very unusual for OCC, it's metallic and slightly shimmery.  As with all OCC Lip Tars you hardly need any, and it comes with a handy little lip brush for applying it.

I added the Lime Crime Lipgloss in Snowsicle over the top for even more sparkle.  It is a clear gloss filled with multi-coloured sparkles, it is so pretty and it smells amazing.  My lips are ridiculously dry at the moment so once my lips are back to normal I will do a swatch on this without anything underneath it to show how lovely it is.

I hope you enjoyed this and had a great Valentine's Day - I was at home with my four cats ;)

Happy Easter in The OCC Garden

We thought we would try and brighten up the Easter Weekend here at CutECOsmetics HQ by sharing with you the arrival of the New OCC Lip Tars 'The Garden' Spring / Summer 2012 Collection!

Spring has sprung at OCC with the gorgeous new floral shades in the Lip Tar range, OCC say:

'Inspired not by garden variety roses but psychotropic and poisonous plants, this collection turns traditional spring pastels upside down, injecting them with hallucinatory notes of nearly-neon vibrancy.'

The new range also launches with new packaging, featuring a precision nozzle applicator and now you get even more in your OCC Lip Tar tube (10ml).

So here are the lovely Spring beauties!

Digitalis - Pink Tinged Lavender (Left) 

 Ophelia - Pure Petal Pink (Right)

Kava Kava - True Peach Neutral (Left)

PennyRoyal - Roasted Peach / Brown (Right)

Belladonna - Ultra Ultra Violet

Chlorophyll - True Teal

If you've never tried these, a little goes a long way! All you'll need is a tiny bead applied with a lip brush. Wondering how you would ever wear some of the colours? The great thing about OCC Lip Tars is that they are meant to be mixed to create your own shades - so have fun with them!

They are £8.99 from here

We'd love to know which of the new shades you like?

Have you tried these yet?
