There was a time when I was young and really, really good in art. A painting I once drew got a teacher’s attention and he asked to have it put up for an exhibition. You could say it was the peak of my poster colour-on-paper endeavour. I probably haven’t had many encounters with paints since, but the OCC Lip Tar in Ophelia made me quite excited for a bit.
You see, this little tube of blue-toned Barbie pink paint is so pigmented, I can draw lips of whatever size and shape I like. It also smells rather minty, unlike real paint – or worse, Chinese calligraphy ink. The Lip Tar came, in the mail, with a tiny lip brush and a mini instruction manual in a transparent pouch. It may be a bit tricky to use for first timers, because you have to be very steady with your hands. I did make a little mess on my dressing table with this one. So yes, it totally reminds me of the time I used to paint!
