Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick

I fell in love with the adorable packaging of these and had to get one as soon as I found a New Zealand supplier. As much as I love the amazing colour range I stayed on the safe side with a colour I thought I would always use - coquette. As pretty as the colour looks in tube it's just oh so wrong on me. I've never come across a nude that I don't like but this just makes my skin appear a really off colour . I also find it bleeds without a lip liner and really settles in and exaggerates any cracks or lines in my lips whether I exfoliate first or not and if I put a lip balm on underneath it sheers it out too much and makes it super slippery. I have really tried to love it on more than one occasion and on the day that I did brave it and decided to wear it out on its own I found that it didn't last nearly as long as I thought it would and ended up quite patchy, I also found it dried out my lips a bit . I won't be quick to try any of the other colours - I think I'll just stick to velvetines.

I love the colour selection, I love the colour payoff, I love the packaging, I love everything about these lipsticks. I have five of the more wearable colours, and find them all as good as each other. They are creamy and long-lasting.

I absolutely adore these lipsticks! Smooth, creamy, pigmented, HUGE range of colours... I honestly have nothing bad to say about these amazing lippies. They smell incredible, which is always a bonus - no one ever wants a bad smelling lip product. They are so opaque, you need one swipe with most colours and they look fantastic! I have been buying up a storm lately and bought four of these beauties. And the packaging is so cute and very eyecatching! Highly recommend them to anyone wanting a great quality lipstick!

I love limecrime! I previously had the serpentina shade - a deep green. I absolutely loved the feel of it on, and it smells delicious too. The green shade means it isn't something I could wear everyday, but definitely convinced me I needed more! I recently bought My beautiful rocket - the bright orange. I have had so many compliments on the colour and absolutely love it. I would definitely recommend!

Super smooth, buttery, conditioning lipsticks with intense colour payoff. I particularly love Glamor101, Poisonberry and Airborne Unicorn. I love how blendable and mixable they are with each other, too. Packaging is adorable and some of the darker tones have built-in stains so they last well. Love them.

I've always loved red lipstick, but I have a problem. I'm a natural redhead.

What this means is that I've had a life long quest for a red lipstick that doesn't look awful on me. I can look at a shade I think will be ok, and as soon as I put it on it looks orange or pink and just plain terrible!

I bought this on a whim online when I ordered my lime crime velvetine (which was also a blind buy due to the fantastic reviews on br I couldn't help myself), and on the website I fell in love with the colour Glamour 101.

When it arrived, I felt like I'd just received a present! Not only was it in gift wrapped style packaging from the retailer, but the box it came in was so pretty! Upon opening the box, I pulled out what resembled the most attractive tampon ever.. :-/ I stood there for a while staring and giggling at the oversight of the designers, and then proceeded to apply it. Omg! My quest has finally come to an end!! What I was holding was the holy grail of red lipsticks!!!!!!

Not only was it the colour I've been searching for, but the texture, shine, feel.. just everything was perfect!!!!

Now back to the shape of the lipstick.. its not just me, I showed him the lipstick and he started laughing and said the same thing. Its in the shape of a tampon. A very lovely pink tampon with a silver unicorn on it..but none the less - a tampon.

I shall forgive this oversight, because everything else about it is so perfect.

Unfortunately, it was so good, it overshadowed my principal purchase the velveteen - which while I like, I may have even loved if it wasn't for the opaque being everything and more.

The colour is a very vintage burgundy red, whenever I wear it, it makes me feel very vintage bombshell.. in fact I tend to dress to my lippy when I'm wearing it.. in fact its the shade I'm wearing in my profile picture!

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.

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 :)

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.

Lime Crime is a brand I've always associated with boldness - Bold packaging, bold colours, bold names. Despite all this shouting about Lime Crime in the beautysphere I had never been tempted to purchase until I spotted a recent sale on Beauty Bliss.

I picked up the very funky Poisonberry for a very affordable $20 and it was well worth the impulse buy! Let's start with how adorable the packaging is - shiny plastic purple tube, adorned with the characteristic silver stars and unicorns. The design stands out amongst my makeup and fits this whimsical product.

The smell - slightly sweet with a hint of vanilla, but no taste to speak of. The product itself glides on effortlessly. Poisonberry is definately a bold choice, superpigmented and one slick creates perfectly opague colour. It felt slightly creamy and had an almost amplified finish.

In terms of longevity, I was super impressed by how long-lasting this intense colour was, lasting through eating, drinking and even a couple of smooches! Yes I did get a bit of wearing across the lips but instead of bleeding or feathering the colour looked more like a lip stain. I like the look of this but if desired you can always top up!

I haven't been tempted by any of the other Lime Crime colours and am not a fan of the brands creator so wouldn't repurchase another shade, but the product itself is a high quality and I'm very happy with my purchase.
