J. Cat Beauty Wonder Lip Paint is a total cheap dupe up of OCC Lip Tar!

Not that Lip Tar is expensive at this point as many of the shades are $9 since they brand repackaged them. Lip Tar is a pretty darn great product but I’ve always felt the packaging is faulty as the formula separates and gets rather gross. A quick shape of the tube typically solves this issue but there have been times I grab a shade and forget to shake, proceed to squeeze, and I get a bunch of oil separated color. Gross!

But this isn’t about Lip Tar, this is all about J. Cat Beauty Wonder Lip Paint and its cheap as chips $4.99 price tag.

Charlotte Tilbury Mini Miracle Eye Wand Dynamic Duo Lift & Light Reflector ($45) is a dual ended concealer slash eye cream that promises to give eyes a lifted, wide awake appearance. Since I’m having great success with the Charlotte Tilbury Magic Cream Trio I purchased I decided that my next purchase would be the Mini Miracle Eye Wand Dynamic Duo Lift & Light Reflector as I liked the idea of not only having a little concealer but also an eye cream to prep with.

I wasn’t taking into consideration how quickly I’d run through this product because you are sharing a space between two different formulas which means each is split into nearly half the amount you’d get from say Touche Eclat Radiant Touch. Charlotte formula is also a little pricer by $3. Now my personal recommendation and one that is a little cheaper than both Charlotte Tilbury and YSL would be Dior Skinflash Radiance Booster Pen which is $38 (I did a little YSL and Dior Comparison years ago if you want to take a look).

Anyway, this is a review of Charlotte’s formula so let’s backtrack a little bit.

Do you ever get that dreaded feeling in the pit of your stomach when you heart your favorite makeup, beauty, or fragrance might be discontinued? It’s a horrible feeling when a beloved beauty product disappears for good.

Le sigh!

I had this feeling recently when L’Oreal and Em Cosmetics parted ways. I love, I LOVE the Great Cover Up Concealer and suddenly the site was down and I couldn’t buy anything and I was running around in panic. I had just ordered several tubes during their Cyber Monday sale but what happens when that runs out!? The thought was terrifying….!

Thankfully the site is back but I’ve learned my lesson. Anytime there is a sale I buy a tube or two and I stuff them away! Just in case, you never know.

Do you have any makeup and beauty products that you stockpile?

Do share what they are!
