OCC Lip Tar in Trollop

I've wanted Trollop ever since I saw it on Lipglossiping. Firstly, the name makes me smile (if OCC ever do a Lip Tar called Slattern, I am all over it with my never-touch-a-duster hands.) I wanted a medium neutral/warm pink Lip Tar, and thought that the popular Memento might be too pale for me.

Swatched on my hand. A bright, watermelon pink, it's a little brighter than the shade I was originally after, although I like it a lot. If I buy any more Lip Tars, my next one will be a beige neutral (can't decide between the taupe Uber or beige Petty Beige) to dull down the ones I have.

In order to gauge the relativeness brightness and pinkness of Trollop, here's Anime (left) and Trollop (right). Anime is the brightest and pinkest lip colour I own. 

Trollop applied. It's a lovely colour and like all the OCC Lip Tars I've tried reads true to tube, even on my strange mauve lips. The Lip Tar formulation is not very forgiving of dry lips though, and I do find I need to take very good care of mine with balm before and after wearing a Lip Tar. I use the trick of lining outside my lipline with a cream/flesh pencil before applying the Lip Tar to prevent bleeding or feathering. 

The colour reminds me of the YSL Rouge Pur Couture #17 Rose Dahlia I bought the christmas before last, but without the YSL fragrance. Although it's more hassle to apply than a traditional lipstick, I prefer the OCC in this case. 

In context of the rest of my face. I'm just wearing undereye concealer, brow pencil and OCC Lip Tar in Trollop in this picture, to give the best idea of how the colour works against my skintone. I quite like it worn like this, although a lick of mascara and some rms Beauty Luminizer wouldn't hurt.

I bought this from www.cocktailcosmetics.co.uk. Have you tried the Lip Tars, and what are your favourite shades? Any thoughts on what my best neutralising shade might be would be much appreciated.
