I purchased this from NZ boutique - Pagan Marie. However, I believe they are no longer stocked.
I own this in one colour- which is called "Present". As with all Lime Crime products the packaging is super cute! It is packaged in a glass swirl tube which feels cool to the touch and quite sturdy. It definitely looks super pretty on display! The applicator is similar to a tiny paintbrush which allows for higher levels of precision, I wouldn't say that It is easy to apply, but I find It easier than their Velvetiness range! In saying that, the tiny brush doesn't allow for a quick application! Be prepared to take your time with this lipgloss..No rushing or quick fixes!
As "Present" is a deep, sparkly pinky/purple colour I sometimes like to layer this over purple lips such as Diva by Mac. It definitely adds dimension and further WOW.
The negativity I have about this product is that it is so sticky! I hate it when my hair gets stuck in lipgloss and this definitely attracts it! It can definitely get gloopy and feel like too much is on your lips!
I feel like it has decent longevity, and the sparkles definitely add something fun to your lips, over another colour or alone! I don't notice the scent too much either so nothing more I can really say!
Yay I get to review a awesome product for my 100th review! So I have the "Present" LC Carousel Gloss. The packaging is super cute! Unicorn on the top of the lid, then stars on the side, but the bit I love the most is the tube. It's like toffee that has been twisted and left to set. You need to turn the top quite a few times to get the lid off. I like this, means it won't accidentally undo. These guys really do deliver with their packaging I reckon.
Anyway, the gloss brush is tiny. I kinda like it. I can get close to the lip line than with those normal sponge types. Speaking of the lip line, make sure you use a liner. Mine seems to bleed into fine lines. So now I use a nude liner for all my LC.
The gloss reminds me of a toffee apple. Rich, yummy and sticky. The colour is stunning. It has glittery sparkles in it. Not huge chunky ones. I like glittery stuff!! The colour is more purple/plum. Not red if that makes sense. I have smeared a bit on my hand and I'm watching it changing colours. More purple sparkles. This makes me happy.
The colour stays on for quite awhile. It sort of leaves a tinge of a stain on your lips. I really like that bit as well.
The smell is oh so yummy! Vanilla ice cream with hokey pokey bits. Mmmm
All in all, this gloss sends me off to a real carnival as a kiddy, loving the smells and remembering the crunch of toffee apple. It is very pricy, so not sure if I'd buy more.
Tips: This can be worn over most lippies. It will change various looks easy peezy. Don't load the wee brush up with lots of gloss. Build it up and enjoy
