It seems with lip tars people either love them or hate them. I read so many reviews when I was looking into buying Hoochie. Some said they are wonderful and last all day others say they are a pain to apply, bleed, and get everywhere. Eventually I decided to pick up two sample vials from Retro Wombat's Beauty store. That way I could have both of the colors I was eyeing for only $10! If I hated them then so what at least I didn't spend $18 a tube. Long story short I ended up loving them. For me they apply easily with a lip brush and last a good many hours without drying out my lips too bad. Overall, Strumpet seems to have better longevity than Hoochie.
Strumpet is a very pretty raspberry color. You can pack it on for a bold lip or only apply a tiny bit for a more muted berry color.
Same for Hoochie it can be applied lightly to make it more wearable or heavy for a more crazy purple look.
Put them together and what have you got?
Magenta!
Oh my god guys. Look at this. LOOK AT THIS. When I mixed them together I got better longevity than when I wear them alone. I put it on at 9:30am then I drank coffee, ate breakfast, brushed my teeth, went to class for two hours, ate lunch, went to my internship for 5 hours, and ate dinner. It looked near perfect from far away. Up close you can definitely tell it is fading but holy crap. I've never had a lip product last this long!
