The word ‘tar’ is usually not associated with beautifying products, but Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics has just launched a lip pigment that will change that. The product is called “Lip Tar” and goes on wet like [lip gloss](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amber-lip-gloss), then dries on your smackers for [long-lasting color](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/matte-lip-tint) that stays.

Lip Tar is great for a number of reasons such as its customizable mix’n’match colors, 100% vegan ingredients, cruelty-free production and its lack of harsh preservatives.

It also contains many [natural oils and vitamins](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pout-lip-oil) to leave your lips as luscious as ever!
