Lime Crime lipsticks are great, huge colour payoff and a great range. I find they have great sticking power and don't need to be re-applied much. Once you buy one you will want to get the whole range - luckily they are priced more affordably than MAC.

Tips: Makeup.co.nz has great shipping and prices, as does Pagan Marie. Evolution stores stock Lime Crime in their retail stores.
Lime Crime lippy's are so true to colour its not funny! I have Geradium which I don't really use as it doesn't suit me. But also own Airborne Unicorn (purple) that I love & wear out whenever I can. The staying power is great too! Im going to buy more!!!! :)
I've always loved red lipstick, but I have a problem. I'm a natural redhead.
What this means is that I've had a life long quest for a red lipstick that doesn't look awful on me. I can look at a shade I think will be ok, and as soon as I put it on it looks orange or pink and just plain terrible!
I bought this on a whim online when I ordered my lime crime velvetine (which was also a blind buy due to the fantastic reviews on br I couldn't help myself), and on the website I fell in love with the colour Glamour 101.
When it arrived, I felt like I'd just received a present! Not only was it in gift wrapped style packaging from the retailer, but the box it came in was so pretty! Upon opening the box, I pulled out what resembled the most attractive tampon ever.. :-/ I stood there for a while staring and giggling at the oversight of the designers, and then proceeded to apply it. Omg! My quest has finally come to an end!! What I was holding was the holy grail of red lipsticks!!!!!!
Not only was it the colour I've been searching for, but the texture, shine, feel.. just everything was perfect!!!!
Now back to the shape of the lipstick.. its not just me, I showed him the lipstick and he started laughing and said the same thing. Its in the shape of a tampon. A very lovely pink tampon with a silver unicorn on it..but none the less - a tampon.
I shall forgive this oversight, because everything else about it is so perfect.
Unfortunately, it was so good, it overshadowed my principal purchase the velveteen - which while I like, I may have even loved if it wasn't for the opaque being everything and more.
The colour is a very vintage burgundy red, whenever I wear it, it makes me feel very vintage bombshell.. in fact I tend to dress to my lippy when I'm wearing it.. in fact its the shade I'm wearing in my profile picture!
Tips: I have a very vintage red colour, and I enjoy blotting with a tissue old school style - just to add to the feeling I get when I put it on.
i absolutely LOVE lime crime lipsticks, i have collected all the normal wearable colors and i wear them daily ! so pigmented, smooth & moisturizing with a nice vanilla scent! the only downside is that the lipstick breaks out of the tube which sucks because its such pretty packaging!
Tips: of they melt a little or start to get soft, put them in the freezer
These lipsticks are super super creamy, and opaque! I have Babette and Countessa Flouresenta (iffy spelling) and they are amazing! And you can easily blend them with other lip colours to make new colours! They last for ages!
Tips: Make sure your lips aren't dry because they do tend to stick to dry patches Use lipliner to stop them from bleeding/ make them last even longer!
I only own one Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick and it is Poisonberry - I absolutely love it! Such a beautiful colour and it has really good staying power. It smells delicious and it looks devine when applied. I really rate this lippy
Tips: I find it to be quite a bold colour and stands out marvellously on quite a "bare" face (minimal make-up, i.e. foundation, bit of bronzer, mascara and strong eyebrows)
I loooove my Lime Crime Centrifuschia lippy! It smells amazing (reminds me of marshmallows), I can apply it smoothly and it does not need lip liner, and it lasts all day! Seriously, I can get through 6 hours without a touch up. And it doesn't dry my lips out! Love it :)
I bought a Lime Crime in 'Geradium' after having it pinned on my Pinterest style board for ages and desperately wanting it! I was interested to try it out as there were so many great reviews online and I generally don't love lipsticks and wear glosses and tinted balms but I wanted to give it a try as the colour looked so bright and fun. I love my Lime Crime! The colour is as fantastically bright and bold as it looked online, Geradium is my girls night out go-to now. The packaging is super cute and satisfies my love of all things whimsical and girly. A silver unicorn on a purple tube - too adorable. Unlike most lipsticks it doesn't dry my lips out or cake, the texture is pretty smooth and the colour lasts quite well and leaves a stain so even when it does wear off it still looks good. I have my eye on Airborne Unicorn now and since I love my Geradium so much I'm sure it won't be long until it goes from my wishlist to my makeup bag!
Tips: You will want to do a little lip prep before wearing a statement lipstick like a Lime Crime. Use a scrub, let a balm completely sink in and then use a lip primer for the very best wear out of your lipstick.
I own every lippy now... tad obsessed I think.
The smell, the packaging, the application, the formula, the pigmentation, well everything! is just amazing about limecrime lippies!
I love the fact they are just so bright and smell so yummy!
Even better I can wear with knowing there was no animals harmed in the making or anything to do with their make up! Even better :)
Applying is a breeze and they just glide on and are so bright in colour you dont need to go over and over to get a colour!
I do have a niggle that mine dont seem to last on my lips as long as others :( even using a primer but then again I like to feel it on and keep applying anyhow
They aren't the cheapest but not the most expensive and who can complain if you get such a pretty packaging!
WHO doesn't like unicorns!!!
I'm a fan a lover and am slowly expanding my collection :D
Super smooth, buttery, conditioning lipsticks with intense colour payoff. I particularly love Glamor101, Poisonberry and Airborne Unicorn. I love how blendable and mixable they are with each other, too. Packaging is adorable and some of the darker tones have built-in stains so they last well. Love them.
Tips: Apply with a brush after gently exfoliating your lips. I use a brown sugar scrub, otherwise the more pastel tones can make lips look a little flaky.
