Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick

I had heard a lot about Lime Crime lipsticks, so I thought I would purchase one and see for myself what they are like. I bought Babette which is quite a pale peachy/pinky colour. Perhaps I bought the wrong shade for myself, but I'm not quite sold on it. The texture is alright - but my lips get dry quite easily so I think I prefer more moisturising lipsticks.

Was so excited to receive this product, has great pigmentation, long lasting etc but is super thick which i cannot stand! Not very moisturising but would definitely buy more for the colour and the colour only. Sucks to hear what has happened with the company and will no longer be purchasing any lime crime products or recommending them to friends or family

I have 3 of these: Geradium, croquette and centrefushia. Honestly, I dont know what to do with them. The colours aren't what was advertised and I just dont like the way they sit in my lips.

So these smell like vanilla butter in my opinion and I LOVE how they smell, they are super pigmented and super fun! Amazing colour range and super opaque, however! They don't last long at all, I found almost anything takes these lippys off. Defiantly not reccomended for a night out.

I like the creamy and long lasting formula BUT the colors are so hard to pull off, I find that there are a lot cheaper and more wearable products and brands out there for a lot less, I understand the hype for people who want an out there look but when their more normal colors are still hard to pull off its disappointing. Sadly a product I have to use with another to get a color I like

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 to admit I was very disappointed when my Lime Crime lipsticks arrived. I had heard people raving about them and was so excited to try! However when they got here they just weren't what I was expecting. This is only because the colour did not come out looking anything like it did in the pictures, I felt like they were misrepresented and the colours differed quite considerably from the colours that I saw advertised. However, in saying that they smell lovely and go on very smooth and are nice and creamy on the lips, despite the colours not turning out how I thought they would some are still nice colours that I would still wear, others not so much.

I am guttered I only own one Lime Crime lipstick! I think the colours are fab, they have a nice texture and it lasts a decent amount of time. The packaging is cute and eye catching which is what caught my eye and first got me interested in looking at Lime Crime. I have Babette and its such a bight eye catching colour however after wearing it on a night out I had little patches stain on my lips and I literally scrubbed and scrubbed with make up remover and it didnt come off so I just had to let it fade. This definitely put me off from wearing it again but I eventually did because it's such an amazing colour

I have the color coquette and geradium. The coquette was really opaque, especially on pigmented lips like mine, but geradium wasn't quite as opaque. I appreciate that since these are high pigment lipsticks it will be drying but I find that the geradium one kind of balls up on my lips and catches on to the dry flakes, but coquette is quite creamy. Since then I have sold the geradium and just kept the coquette. They have a mac type vanilla scent and a super cute packaging.

I'm not blown away by the quality of this product, especially for this price. I've bought this lipstick in Geradium as on pictures it looks like a beautiful medium pink, in real life it's still beautiful, but so so much darker, I was disappointed as it doesn't suit me this dark. It's not hydrating enough and no matter how I exfoliate and hydrate my lips beforehand it still highlights some cracks and dry parts, which I didn't even know they were there until applying this lipstick. Also, I must admit I hate the packaging, it looks so childish, I love cute things and I also love unicorns, but this funnily shaped lilac container with shiny silver unicorn on it is something I would expect in a 4 years old hands... Money not well spent in my case, will not try any other color, as I have much cheaper but better quality lipsticks and after reading more about the company and its founder it really did put me off lime crime products in general.
