I feel less like a hedonist and more like a discount Nicki Minaj in this neon pastel pink gloss, but ya know…YOLO and all that. 🙂

Part of the new Dune Generation collection, Hedonist ($18) is available now at sephora.com and occmakeup.com.

What do you think about this one? Would you wear it?

One day I hope to use the name of this new OCC Stained Gloss in a sentence pertaining to interstellar travel, as in…

“What are you doing this weekend, K?”

“Oh, just heading Off World for a little meow time. El Hub is taking us to one of those fancy Relaxarian spas on Relaxus 5. You know, the ones with the massage therapy droids? Should be back late Sunday afternoon. Why, what’s up?”

But, until that day arrives, be advised that further use of the phrase “Off World” on this blog will primarily pertain to OCC’s pearlescent lilac shimmer from the Dune Generation summer collection (available now, along with the other colors for $18 each at sephora.com and occmakeup.com, and coming to Sephora stores June 6). 🙂

Gotta love lip colors you can wear with errrrthing. 🙂

Concubine, part of the new Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Dune Generation collection, is one of those colors that looks right at home whether you’re rocking a dramatic makeup look or something minimalist and nude.

Described as a warm neutral plum by OCC, I get more of a coral vibe on my lips (which I like!). If your skin picks up lots of buttery golden color during the summer months, it could become your new BFF.

Find it now online at sephora.com and occmakeup.com, and look for it in Sephora stores starting June 6.

This is by far the raddest dune I’ve ever encountered (except for the 1984 movie and the Sci-Fi Channel original miniseries, but those were more watched than encountered).

All of the others — most of them sand dunes — pale in comparison. Those dunes usually involved me hauling a big-@ss longboard up them, and lots of panting (yo, those boards are heavy).

And since we’re on the subject of dunes, why do they always look so easy to climb from afar, but when you actually start climbing up them, you feel like you’re hiking up K2?

But I digress…

The first time I saw golden champagne Dune Stained Gloss, one of six shades in the new Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Dune summer collection, in its tube, I thought it would be milky and a chore to work with, but it turned out to be surprisingly wearable.

I feel like the golden champagne goes pretty well with my natural lip color, and instead of just getting a boring nude gloss when I wear it, I get a rosy, peachy gold that, thankfully, doesn’t settle into my fine lip lines, which gets another yay for that (yay!). 🙂

You can find it now, along with the rest of the Dune collection, at sephora.com and occmakeup.com (and coming to Sephora stores June 6).
