BYS Lip Tar Swatches

BYS is an Australian brand designed & developed in Melbourne. Despite having a low price-point, they pride themselves in making on trend, fashion forward products. I have a few of their lipsticks, blushes & nail polishes.

Their lipstick in "Champagne Rain" is a good dupe for Mac's Hue lipstick... I think they have quite a few dupes for high end colours actually (Nothing wrong with that in my humble opinion!)

Anyway earlier this year they became the latest brand to release a lip tar formula, which is based on the famous original Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Lip Tars.

The formula is a super pigmented liquid Lipstick best applied with a brush, it dries down after awhile to an almost matte finish & lasts for ages.

Just like OCC's Lip tars, These come in similar packaging with a mini lip brush included, and have a peppermint scent/taste. You only need the tiniest amount for a application.

They are $6.95 AUD & you can buy BYS from Kmart, Fashion Addict, Bardot, Gloss, Glassons & The Reject Shop.

I bought "Party In Ibiza" which is a pretty fuchsia pink thats warm enough for me to wear. I experimented using a lip liner & a matte lipstick underneath (Mac Pleasure Bomb) & it lasted 12 hours through drinks & meals. Although very oily/greasy food is a no-no as it acts like a makeup remover.It was not drying on my lips at all, and was moderately hydrating.

BYS Cosmetics are not tested on animals.
