A lot can happen after dark…
Vampires can rise, cats can prowl and raccoons can subvert!
Sometimes, vivid, colorful stained glosses can thrill…
That’s right. Vivid, colorful stained glosses After Dark, which is the name of OCC’s new holiday set.
Strange name for such bright colors? Perhaps. But don’t let it stop you from rocking these glossy finishes during daylight hours, or for gifting the set to your favorite makeup-lovin’ vampire.
Yes, vampires, because with two moody, vampiric shades in the set (the sheer glossy black and the reddish orange), you know I had to go there. It was low-hanging fruit.
Speaking of fruit, the four-piece set would probably be perfect for “vegetarian” vampires like the Cullen clan, since Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics is a cruelty-free, vegan line…
OK, sorry, that was the last vampire reference for today, I swear. 🙂
The set comes with four 0.08-oz. test tubes of OCC Stained Gloss, a clear pouch and a little lip brush. Each of the glosses starts out with a glossy finish, which then fades to a velvety matte stain over the course of two to three hours.
The new $20 OCC After Dark limited edition holiday set is available now at Sephora stores and sephora.com.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

P.S. I hope you’re having a great night, my friend. El Hub and I are on our way to a movie. We’re gonna see that Birdman flick starring Michael Keaton. (Beetljuice, Beetlejuice… No way I’m saying that thrice.) I’m hoping it’s good because it’s getting good reviews.
We shall see… Kaw, kaw! 🙂
Julia says
Birdman is AWESOME! I won tickets to an advance screening and loved every minute of it.
Sunny says
Oh Jealous is one amazing shade on you, Karen! I still haven’t tried any of their lippies because I know I wouldn’t use them often (I find application potentially tricky. Like do I have to carry a lip brush for touch-ups?), but 20 bucks for this set is pretty tempting 🙂
kiran says
New wave looks great on you. Nice review 🙂
gio says
New wave and Little black dress look gorgeous!
Jenny says
I love that these are vegan products. Would you say these products would dry your lips out after multiple uses, though? I always find it disappointing to get a lip product that gives great color and has a nice finish but dries your lips out!

Erin says
I really like Jealous and New Wave!
Krista says
Little black dress scared me at first, but you make it look great and totally wearable!! Nice!
Fancie says
This is a really cute set! I actually like all of the colors
Eleanor says
Wow, I was totally surprised that Little Black Dress actually looked good. I thought it would be terrible. Does the mint flavor bother you at all?
The Blah Queen says
Little Black Dress suits you well.
kiran says
New wave is really pretty. Nice review.
Kelly B. says
Little Black Dress is definitely an interesting shade! I like the idea of layering it on top of other lipsticks (especially reds) to make them deeper and more sultry!
Dee says
I saw this and passed because I imagine theyd be all matte and opaque.like the typical lip tars. These are purdy ! I skipped MAINLY because of that black one but now I see its not even black ha!
Dominique says
I love these colors and I like that not all of them are super bright. I like bright colors I just can never seem to pull them off!
Majick says
I tried the lip tars once before and wasn’t really impressed. Besides that, all the tubes I got were only 1/2 full so I returned it.
I have to say that is the nicest looking black gloss I’ve seen. It’s really very pretty on you. I still have a few hours of 20% so I may go for it.
