Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick

Aside from all the rumours surrounding this brand, I think the fact remains that these lipsticks are simply average. I have five of them, and honestly, I mostly have them for the packaging. The formula feels very thick, and the lighter shades like Babette are very patchy and clump up on the lips. They have some interesting colours, but they just aren't great quality. I feel like most of the price is due to packaging and branding as opposed to the products. I do really like Retrofuturist, which is a bright red, not only for the colour but as this one is creamier than the others I have. This line is inconsistent.

Centrifuchsia was my first lipstick i have ever own! & I won it of PaganMaire.co.nz Competition survey they did (Which was amazing because i never win anything haha)

I found the colour too be opaque & Pigmented like lime crime are known for! I felt it wears off quickly with drinking & such! BUT i feel is i blot this lipstick over & over again it will have more staying power

Also staining if it when over my lip line i had to wipe with a wet wipe then reapply a wee bit foundation as it stains the skin.

I loved the colour, formula & the way it felt when applied (: I would 95% recommend this product!

I'm not a huge fan of Lime Crime due to the way it feels on my lips once applied. I have Babette and Glamour 101. They feel heavy and cakey, and I don't even apply much. Don't get me wrong, the colours are stunning and these lipsticks are highly pigmented, and will last you a lot longer than a couple of hours. But when something doesn't feel right on my lips, I'm not going to continue using it.

I had been lusting over lime crime lipsticks for so long before finally purchasing one. I decided to apprehensively though because of all the behind the scenes drama. BUT im glad i did :) I got the shade Airborne Unicorn. Wowie it is such a gorgeous color, its a vibrant lilac shade.

The packaging is amazing! It comes in a shiny purple tube with a silver unicorn and stars on it. The box that it came inside was equally as great. I got the limited edition packaging which is a silver box with black writing So so pretty!

The lipstick itself is extremely pigmented and opaque. It is a matte formula yet still very creamy. It applies beautifully and feels very comfortable on the lips. Unlike unlike most matte lipsticks this one is not drying at all. It is quiet long wearing but definitely not the longest wearing lippy i have. It does transfer a little when you eat, drink and kiss. But not too much to bother me.

One thing i didn't really like about this particular color was that it stained my lips. It was impossible to remove the stain even with scrubbing! Also the color was a weird pink tone completely different to the actual lipstick.

I love this lipstick and cannot wait to buy more from lime crime!

I have one of these lipsticks in Coquette and I adore it. The packaging was the original thing that caught my attention and I love the purple bullet with the holographic unicorn! So pretty! Now to the lipstick itself. I personally think they smell really good, like the MAC lipsticks. It's the perfect peachy brown nude shade and I find the lasting power to be really good, although I do need to reapply it after I initially put it on. I love these lipsticks and the shade range is so different and the colours so pretty which definitely sets them apart from other lipsticks.

I'll start by saying that the only reason I purchased this lipstick is because of it's packaging!

I can't say that I care for the range of colours they have, except maybe 3 of them, 2 of which don't suit me or my skin as it is too pink!

The colours are not you're everyday colours, and very neon, personally, I think they are good for dress ups, or if you're feeling creative.

I adore the packaging however! It is to die for. Not only is it very well made, with a sturdy pottle and a strong cap that won't fly off when thrown around in the handbag, it is also extremely cute! Beautiful neon purple colour with holographic unicorns, I cannot rave enough about it.

They also smell delicious, like candy and vanilla. I have this lipstick in the shade geradium, and this one in particular tastes really good as well. I'm not sure if it's the same with the rest of the lipsticks.

The quality is also very good. It glides on the lips easily, comes off with makeup wipes easily without staining, stays on a really long time, is very creamy and pigmented. It's really good quality!

I do find that it does kind of come off really easily on things, like when I eat it's almost completely gone. When you drink or something, it leaves a great huge stain!

But it is something that I would repurchase, if, they came out with nicer, more every day colours that everyone could pull off on a day to day basis.

I think it's something that would be nice to purchase for your kids as their first lipstick or something like that! they will love the look and smell of it, and the fun colours!

Writing this review is one of the hardest reviews Ive had to write, a while ago I had never owned a Lime Crime product and I had lusted over their glorious collection of makeup until I saw they were releasing Utopia, I just had to buy it! Along with the velvetine I also brought the Opaque lipstick in Geradium. It took about 2 weeks to arrive and I was constantly checking my mail box every day until it arrived.

The box it came in was amazing, I have never seen makeup so beautifully packaged before. The packaging for the Opaque lipstick is absolutely incredible, you see that they have put alot of time and effort in making the packaging.

Geradium is a pinky coral color lipstick, they are absolutely right, it is very opaque, the pigment in this lipstick is insane! I have honestly never seen a lipstick so solid with color, it glides on the lips so easy, its thick, creamy and gives a full coverage of color.

This is where I feel terrible, the presentation and the color is outstanding but for me the wear time was horrible, once on my lips it moves around and leaves alot of lip stick residue on cups, glasses, bottles. I have had this lipstick for 2 months or maybe more and I have tried to keep this gorgeous color on my lips with no difference. Because of this I dont wear this lip stick very often, I am so sad because the color is gorgeous.

There are some other colors I would like to try, I am just hoping for my sake it was a bad batch, it hasnt put me off buying more Lime Crime.

I absolutely love this lipstick range, the colours are gorgeous! I have pink planet (a bright pink), coquette (a gorgeous cappuccino nude), no she didn't (bright aqua blue) and mint to be (a nice pastel green). My next purchases will be D'lilac & Chinchilla!

These lipsticks are ultra creamy, and super pigmented. They go a long way, and will last a long time. All of them smell delicious (like vanilla cream) & come in super cute pink, sparkly packaging with an outline of a unicorn on them, they are so adorable! They are easy to wind up, and have a good amount of product in them.

They are true to their name, and being opaque, offer full coverage with a few swipes. They do wear away with eating and drinking, however do have some resistance to that.

These are my all time favorite lipstick, I even prefer these over MAC :)... If you have not tried these yet, I recommend you go out and buy one asap, it will change your life :)

I was super lucky to be given two of these beautiful lipsticks by a lovely BR member I had never owned Lime Crime before but had always heard amazing things,

I got Airborne unicorn & Great pink planet which are stunning, They smell super sweet like candy marshmallows which is nice I don't love it but its better than a yucky scent.

The packaging is cute with a holographic unicorn, Lime crime and stars on it which is eye catching and a stand out in my lippy collection. Not exactly my style but still something different and fun.

Great pink planet- Is a soft baby pink very wearable smooth to apply and a great colour pay off a few swipes over the lips and you have beautiful creamy pink lips it dries and stays in place but still leaves a little creaminess on the lip so it doesn't crack or looked cracked. Last well through the day only having to apply more to get the intensity back still keeps the colour well.

Airborne unicorn-A stunning violet/purple colour, Which can come across a tad sheer so you have to apply a few times to get a nice coverage.This is my favourite of the two, Same with the great pink planet it lasts amazing throughout the day with only small touch ups needed non drying love it.
