This is by far the raddest dune I’ve ever encountered (except for the 1984 movie and the Sci-Fi Channel original miniseries, but those were more watched than encountered).
All of the others — most of them sand dunes — pale in comparison. Those dunes usually involved me hauling a big-@ss longboard up them, and lots of panting (yo, those boards are heavy).
And since we’re on the subject of dunes, why do they always look so easy to climb from afar, but when you actually start climbing up them, you feel like you’re hiking up K2?
But I digress…
The first time I saw golden champagne Dune Stained Gloss, one of six shades in the new Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Dune summer collection, in its tube, I thought it would be milky and a chore to work with, but it turned out to be surprisingly wearable.
I feel like the golden champagne goes pretty well with my natural lip color, and instead of just getting a boring nude gloss when I wear it, I get a rosy, peachy gold that, thankfully, doesn’t settle into my fine lip lines, which gets another yay for that (yay!). 🙂
You can find it now, along with the rest of the Dune collection, at sephora.com and occmakeup.com (and coming to Sephora stores June 6).

Oh, this one is pretty on you…so romantic, somehow! You’re right, it’s a ‘nude’ gloss, but never boring!

Gotta love those sassy nude shades. 🙂 What’s your favorite nude gloss at the moment?
I think the only shimmery nude gloss I have is Revlon Snow Pink, but it does have a great plumping illusion effect! 😀

Hi Alison,
Me too! It takes this color to the next level.
This didn’t look like much in the packaging to me, but on the lips is gorgeous! Love it!

This would also be beautiful if layered over other colors.
That looks pretty great on you!

Hi Karen,
What do you think about the wear time for these OCC glosses? Comfortable all day wear?
