Review: Lip Tar Mini Allstars Set of 4

 I also have a video review which you can see here OR click here if you want some application help.

I just bought the mini liptar set of four and so far I am really liking it.

 Here's the packaging. It comes with Black Dahlia, NSFW, Anime and Momento, plus a lip brush.

Here's a size comparison between a full size (Pretty Boy) and a mini (Anime).
The full size are .33 ounces and the minis are .08.
While the minis are smaller, you use so little product that these will still last quite a while. 
Here is a tutorial I did for applying them.
 Here are my bare lips. 

Black Dahlia

Price: 9/10 

Pigmentation: 6/10

Texture: 6/10

Packaging: 7/10

Overall Quality: 7/10 

Repurchase: Maybe, and if I did it would be for mixing.
Black Daliah is a beautiful deep purpley-wine color with a hint of red. In the tube or swatched on my arm I thought this would be my favorite of the bunch, however, the color is lovely, but the application is not. This color seems to be a tad sheerer than the other liptars I have so it applies patchy. It took me much longer to apply and I couldn't get the color to look completely smooth. 

I did mix Black Daliah with NSFW and made a beautiful deep black-cherry color, which I am in love with. So while this color alone isn't too great, it does mix into other liptars well.

I also wore it with MAC Nightmoth lip liner under it, and I did like that effect as well.

Liptars in these pics are not blotted.

Price: 9/10

NSFW is a true red and it is lovely. This is a very pretty red and it will suit most skin tones since it's a true red. It applies very easily, it is very pigmented and it also mixes well. When wearing these out vs. just for swatches I would wear a red liner with it.

Anime

Price: 9/10 
Pigmentation: 9.5/10

Packaging: 7/10

Repurchase: Yes
Anime is a neon fuchsia, but I think it is still very wearable. I am in love with this color. Very easy to apply & pigmentation is great. This is probably my favorite lip tar. At first I though it would be too close to Pretty Boy, but I believe it is more wearable since it isn't quite as dark as Pretty Boy.

Moemento is a pretty midtone pink. It applies easy, but since it's a paler color it does take a bit more time to blend away streaks. The pigmentation is really great so it will cover more pigmented lips. It comes up a tad on the warm side on my very fair skin, so I really like this mixed with just the tiniest bit of Anime to cool it down.
