Lime Crime Eye Liner

The pro: I brought the color Quill (the black one) The packaging is simple cute, feels sturdy, doesnt feel or look cheap. The product is opaque, goes on smoothly, dries quickly and to a matte finish, last all day. my only con is the company not the actual product, so i dont want to continue buying limecrime products.

Pros: This eyeliner is true to its guarantee of being extremely black. You need only one maybe two strokes to get a strong, jet black. Which is good when you are trying to do bold cat eye liner. Really good.

Cons: It isn't water proof (which isn't great when using eyeliner in my opinion). You sorta need that water proof factor around eye moisture.

The bottle is tiny and there is not much product

The brush is TERRIBLE. I have been doing immaculate eye liner every day for years and years (over 10 now) and the first day i used this flimsy piece of crap brush my lines were wonky and awful. You cant get a firm grip on this brush. Again, the brush is terrible.

So all in all, formula is ok/good but the application and quantity is lacking. Probably wont buy again for that reason

I have this eyeliner in the shade orchid. It is a vibrant purple shade. Definitely not something to wear if you don't want your eyes to stand out.

The packaging of this is adorable. It's quite small, more like a deluxe sample size really but you wouldn't use a lot of product at one time so it will last a while. The tube is clear so you can easily see the color and the lid is polka dotted with a cute little unicorn print on the very top.

This has a small brush tip which is quite easy to use. I can't manage a super skinny line with it but i can do a reasonably thin line. The color is very intense so you don't need to keep going over it to get the color bright.

The finish of this one is matte and it dries down quite quickly. It doesn't transfer on any other part of my lid which is great because I have oily, slightly hooded lids and a lot of liners transfer on me. It lasts well on me all day, if I rub my eyes, it can slightly come off but otherwise it lasts well.

Although I do enjoy this liner, I can't really recommend this brand at all. I have no respect for the companies owner and while I'll happily use this, I would never repurchase it.

I was so excited to purchased this liner as I am a big fan of Lime Crime products and the crazy shades that they come in. I picked this one up in a light blue shade, Im not too experienced with liquid liners but I thought why not?!

The tube was small and I had a hard time holding the small wand. The liner itself is very pigmented in colour and long lasting. I put this on in the morning and it was still perfect when I went to take it off at the end of the day. The liner smelt pretty rank though, sort of smelt like paint which I thought was a bit weird as the lipsticks by Lime Crime smell so divine. I also didnt like the brush on this liner. It was quite messy to use.

Overall these are a good idea and they come out in a wide range of shades but I do believe that the formula and brush needs a few tweaks for my liking.

I picked up a couple of these on a whim in Dunedin, of all places.

I have two blue shades - Lazuli (a bright royal blue) and Milk Blue (pretty much a neon sky blue).

Like the majority of Lime Crime products, these come in cute packaging - in this case, slim clear tubes with white caps, emblazoned with black dots, and the brand name scrawled inside a thought bubble. The very top of the tube features the unicorn logo, while the base has the shade details. The shades are very visible through the base part of the tube.

Colours are very vivid on - though the Milk Blue needs an extra layer for max impact. They set and dry without bleeding, wear reasonably well, and come off easily with the addition of a little moisture.

Where they fail, for me, is the brushes. They have lovely, easy to hold handles, and a sturdy long wand, but the wee tuft of non-tapered bristles is unwieldy - a tapered or pen-style point would have made these a thousand times easier to work with.

I wouldn't repurchase simply because of that - I'd go the Sephora ones instead
