What's your latest obsession?

By chance could it be bold, bright lips or a nice sun-kissed look without having to get a tan?

Well, if that's the case, your latest obsession can now be successfully treated just in time for the festive season. According to Jeneva Whorms of Urban Beauty, lip tars from the brand Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics are quite addictive.

"People who know about this brand love it! It is highly pigmented and is 100 per cent vegan", she notes.

Coming in a tube, a little colour goes a far way, which makes it a good buy. The diverse hues range from eye-popping colours to nude.

"The line has tars in the primary and secondary colours, and they can even be blended to get a specific colour easily." Another high-selling point, according to the makeup artist and beauty proprietor, is that the lip tars have a three-in-one effect.

"They are applied like a lipstick, go on like a lip gloss and then stay on the lips like a lip stain would."

Even with a pretty face, you would agree that you look significantly better with fabulous skin tone. Body Bling is reputed to do that for you.

Regarded as Jennifer Lopez' secret weapon, Scott Barnes is the man behind the Body Bling line. "For years, people wondered how J Lo would had such a nice glow about her. but a year ago, Scott Barnes introduced the product line to the market. The Hollywood celebrities love it," she says excitedly.

Hollywood faves

Bringing the Hollywood faves to Jamaica, Whorms says the line features Body Bling Moisturising Shimmering Body lotion in two packages for different effects.

"There is platinum, worn mostly for night as it has more shimmer and crystals to it. And then, for daytime, when you are wearing a short outfit or heading to the beach, Original is ideal." Both work on any skin complexion.

Even though the Body Bling and the Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics are two very different lines used for different reasons, whichever one is selected will definitely produce a 'wow' factor.

To demonstrate the effects of the Hollywood and High Definition products, models were invited for the experience and to show off the results.
