Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick

After so much talk about Lime Crime and how great the lipsticks are I wanted to try for myself. I'm not a huge wearer of bright coloured lipsticks because I feel like my thin lips don't suit them so I brought "babette" because it was one of the more subtle coloured ones.

The lipstick bullet itself is so pretty and one that I have never had even remotely similar to this one. The pastel purple coloured bullet has silver unicorns and stars over it with the lime crime logo printed on it as well

The lipstick itself looks peachy pink before I apply i freshly scrub my lips then apply some lip balm. I had read about people finding it drying so I thought it was probably in my best interests to apply lip balm I also think this helps a lot with matte lipsticks so they don't sink and have that cracked look.

When I apply it it goes on smoothly It's really full coverage I think I put on 2 coats the colour on my lips is like a nude peach I felt like it stuck nicely to my lips it smells yum too. Like cocoa butter? I did have a coffee and noticed the lip marks on the cup but not to worry my lips still looked the same. I was 3 hours before I reapplied I thought this was pretty good going and when I reapplied it the colour had faded but it hadn't gone all patchy. I really like this for something different

I have 4 of these lipsticks (coquette, babette, geradium and airbourne unicorn). They have the prettiest shades - and some pretty out there colours as well! Coquette and babette are shades I use almost daily, if I am not wearing them alone, I mix them with other colours. They are creamy, pretty long wearing and leave a bit of a stain on my lips once they start wearing off. AND they smell sooo good! Don't even get me started on the packaging! Gorg!

I do very much like Lime Crime. I used these lipsticks years ago before they became super popular and always was impressed with the cutesy packaging, the pretty range of colours and the fabulous opaque rich pigmented colour pay off. Any shade of lippy you want, you can find and they are a dream to apply. I find they dont dry your lips out and last very well.

I purchased the colour Coquette online without ever having tried it before and it's a really nice nude. The photo online shows it to have a slight sheen to it but I think its much more matte.

The packaging is super cute for a lipstick and makes it easy to find if its rolling around in the bottom of your bag. The lid stays on well, another bonus if it's rolling around in your bag!.

Application-wise, very easy, I do recommend a liner if you don't have well defined lips (which I don't)

It goes on nice and smoothly, it's quite creamy, very opaque and lasts for a couple of hours without the need for re-application. If your lips are a bit dry and flakey, you will need to sort that before using this lipstick as it will show the flakey patches up.

It has a slight taste to it, which I can't quite put my finger on - some have said it's like MAC, but I would disagree. It's not unpleasant, just slightly odd.

In love!!! I have been reading reviews on Lime Crime for a while now so decided to buy the colour Glamour101.

Firstly the packaging is so fun and unique! It is a beautiful lilac colour with a silver unicorn on the front. The packaging is also very good quality and there is no chance of damaging the actual product inside ( like you find with some other brands).

The colour I chose glamour101 is so bright and vibrant and a beautiful deep red. Literally perfect for Autumn/Winter time. The colour glides on and is very rich and has great staying power.

So fun...you need to try these for your collection.

After reading and hearing so many great comments about Lime Crime lipsticks I decided to jump on the band wagon and try them. I purchased the my lipstick in the shade Geradium as I’ve heard a lot of youtubers say that it is the perfect bright pink and I was in need of a bright pink shade. My first impression of the packaging is that it’s super cute. A purple case with sparkly silver unicorns. It seems quite sturdy as well and like it wouldn’t break easily. The lipstick itself is very creamy and pigmented so you get good colour pay off with just one application. I have dry lips so after a few hours the product did sink into the cracks of my lips a little bit so I have to make sure that I put lip balm on before the lipstick in the morning and on top during the day. The colour lasted well on my lips. You could go a day without reapplying but I like the colour to stay bright so I reapply at least once. Overall I think it is a good quality lipstick and I’d love to try some of the other shades in the near future.

Omg I love these lipsticks. Great colours, goes thick on your lips.. Only thing is it can come off easy :( and they don't cost a lot. I have five colours and love them all. Wear day or night!!!!

The Lime Crime lipsticks are my ultimate favourite liptsticks. I started my collection when the brand first started out, and I loved having colours on my lips that raised eyebrows and received questions and compliments. The colour range that Lime Crime offers is wonderful. From the bold to the softer, there is a shade to suit everyone. The formula is soft, creamy and extremely pigmented. It is long lasting on the lips and eventually fades to an even pastel shade, rather than peeling or flaking. I prefer the formula over the MAC lipsticks, as it is less drying and more pigmented in comparison (not to mention cheaper!). Whether you reach for something simple or adventurous, I 100% recommend the Lime Crime range of lipsticks.

I have never tried lipsticks as pigmented as the Lime Crime ones. They are intense so I wouldn't recommend them to girls just starting out using make up.

I LOVE the packaging- it is just so gorgeous, no other brand compares, plus they are vegan and cruelty free. The lipsticks have a lovely vanilla scent that isn't too overpowering. I don't carry these lipsticks round in my bag as they can get quite affected by warm temperatures. I have Geradium and Babette. I love wearing Geradium on special occasions as it is such a gorgeous bright colour. I was worried Babette would wash me out as most nudes do as I am very fair, however the peach tones seem to work for me so i'm excited I finally have a nude colour that suits me. I do wish this lipstick was easier to apply. The lips need a lot of prep work as it is such a thick lipstick formula so you need a smooth base. I do find the colour to be quite long lasting even when eating/drinking. I try and put one thin layer on that really sinks into my lips and then another thicker coat of the lipstick on top to get the best application.

I have this in Glamour 101. This is definately an opaque lipstick with maximum coverage. No need to layer up to get the colour payoff with this lippy! This goes on creamy and stays creamy throughout. The colour range is not huge however, the colours available are fun! Thi s has great staying power too.
