Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick

I recently just bought three of these, and love them to death, my favourite is centrifushia ? probably not spelt right haha and great pink planet. I find these are creamy and long lasting. love these lipsticks like they were my own kid :)

I brought my first Limecrime lipstick today and needless to say I love it! I got the colour Babette and it is the most gorgeous colour and very complimentary with my pale skin and light hair. I love how creamy they feel and how pigmented they are and they are super long wearing even when eating and drinking.

The colours of Lime Crime lipsticks are like no other, the pastels to be found in no other store, and the formulas creamier than any brand I've used before. Unfortunately this does mean they tend to transfer, and due to the uncommon shades it's difficult to find lip liners that suit. I choose not to wear these when I'll be eating or drinking much as the reapplying does become a bit tedious. Aside from that, they are beautiful - I never go a day wearing them without being complimented and asked where to purchase.

Love this brand of lipsticks ! So many gorgeous colors too choose from weither your wanting Something bright and extravagant or something simple . I'm not usually a huge lipstick wearer as I don't think I have " full enough lips " but I still bought a few of these and I love them ! Cute packaging , reasonable priced what more could a girl want ?

First of all! I might get a few thumbs down for this but someones gotta say it. I bought two of these on a whim from Cosmic and for $60 (both) i expected them to be amazing!! Well i guess they are but thats not where I was kinda ehhhhh. From cosmic's light, these lipsticks look so good but from a natural light, (maybe its just personal preference), i found these a little.. too much. These are hard to pull off unless you have white as snow teeth, perfect lip shape, no dryness or fine lines on the lips and if you have (pardon me) light skin tone. For a girl like me who has olive/tan skin, these were so overwhelming, like when you first look at me, the first word that would pop up in your head would be LIPSTICK. These were opaque which was good but it was hard to sheer it out! They are a bit drying, i love the smell though. Maybe I'm just not brave enough to wear these out. I did wear them around the house for a few hours and when i went to eat and drink they were on my chin. Imagine if i was in a restaurant. Im sorry but just not for me.

I always thought that this brand would be another that didnt live up to its hype, I was hesitant about trying them as im a proud stinge and these were out of my price range, But after seeing one of my good friends wearing coquette i bit the bullet and bought Glamour 101 which has to be the most flattering red i have ever owned.

After that i was hooked, I now own Poisonberry and Babette and Geradium and will be purchasing more in the near future because i love them!

I love the purple tampon packaging, they really stand out in my acrylic holders and i find myself reaching for them all the time.

The vanilla essence scent they have is a little strong and sometimes in the mornings i find it to be TOO strong but its not a problem. eventually you cant even smell it anymore.

Some of the colours are more drying and some are quite creamy, for example babette and geradium i find to be creamy, but glamour 101 and poisonberry are creamy then they dry, i guess this is so they stay on longer and yes the lasting power is really great. Poisonberry is quite a bunchy lippie though, just a heads up.

My one big problem with limecrime lippies is the misleading swatches online, Colours always look lighter, darker, pinkier, richer and sometimes more pastel than they are in real life. the colour is still very similar but maybe not quite what you were expecting I suggest googling swatches before you purchase.

Firstly, I purchased two of these lipsticks because of well the cute packaging and also they have such a great color range. I have centrifushia and geradium and adore both of them. I have found that these lipsticks are quite hydrating and long lasting. I live how easy this lipstick brand is to apply and how pigmented they are. I definitely recommend buying at least one definitely a must have.

i find with the Lime Crime lipsticks they are quite hydrating and long lasting, with rich pigmented colours. No running or smudging and comes with the cutest container. And the one thing that will keep me buying Lime Crime products for years to come is that they are Vegan and cruelty free which is FANTASTIC!

A new Lime Crime lippy just arrived in the mail for me so I thought I would have a hunt on here and see if I can give them a wee review! Hooray! They are on here - and for good reason. Lime Crime lipsticks are gorgeous. Gorgeous colours, gorgeous packaging, gorgeous finish. Simply, gorgeous.

We shall start with the gorgeous colours - I'd say most people on here are well aware of Lime Crime's wild colours. Bold, bright and beautiful is exactly how I'd describe them. Have you ever seen a bright blue lipstick? Or dark earthy green? Or egg yolk yellow? Well hop on to www.limecrime.com and prepare to be amazed! These beautiful pigmented colours come in a range of shades. Some crazy, some are brighter versions of wearable colours, and some are starting to create new trends. They have a mix of brights, pastels and dark vampy colours.

I find heaps of the shades very wearable - like Babette (a bit of a cult favourite) which is a peachy nude, Geranium - a bright pinky red, Countessa Fluorescent - briiiiiight pink (like Candy Yum Yum by Mac) the list goes on! Overall colour-wise I would definitely say there's a colour out there for everyone and some colours that might put you out of your comfort zone... in a good way!

On to the gorgeous packaging - again, I'm sure most people have seen it before but the lippies come unsealed in a wee purple box and the tube is purple as well with a unicorn and some stars on it. Can anyone say ca-uuute!? Despite the fact they CAN be mistaken for tampons or miniature sex toys, I think the packaging is very sweet and something a bit unique and different which I give them credit for!

Now the gorgeous finish - Lime Crime lipsticks are known for being uber creamy! I find they have more staying powder than all of the Mac formulas and they feel amazing on the lips! They're suuuper pigmented and totally not drying. Sometimes, they can be too creamy and they do transfer easily, however I find that if you blot your lips on a tissue after applying that the darker colours can turn into a bit of a lipstain which is good because then they last even longer!

Overall, I would say that a Lime Crime lippy is a bit of a must have! Get out of your comfort zone and add one to your collection! There are so many NZ retailers selling them now and they are often on sale. Also they are usually only around $25-$30 which is cheaper than a Mac lipstick!
