Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick

WOW. The packaging of these lipsticks are phenomenal. Something so childhood chic about them. The unicorn. The holographic print. The purple. Dreams. Although, it's not all about the packaging (mostly). The colours are so outrageous, vibrant, pigmented, and everything you want in a lipstick. My favorite would have to poisonberry and centrifuschia. Serpentina is so unique for the more daring. I would love to get more!

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.

This was my first experience with a lime crime lipstick. I found that it required two coat to create an even colour. It is a very strong and vibrant colour, and heaps of fun! The lipsticks contain a lipstain, so after the lipstick wears off there is still some colour left on your lips. For me, this is definitely not an everyday lipstick, as I found I had to re-apply it several times and because of the thickness of it, I was a bit concerned about it smudging over time. It is a lot of fun to wear for a night out though, when you want to make a bit of a statement with your lipcolour! I'm definitely going to try one of the more adventurous colours at some point.

I bought Babette when it first came out. The hype over it was amazing. So I thought I'd give this brand a go. The colour selection of these lipsticks is AMAZING! Definitely try these if you are wanting to experiment with colour. They are also crazy opaque. Sooooo pigmented! It's unbelievable! The packaging is adorable too! Who doesn't like a purple cased lipstick with a unicorn on it? The one thing I don't like about these lipsticks is the formula. Yes it's beautiful and creamy but that's not always a good thing. It slides around like nobody's business. After an hour, it's off your lips. But in the end, it's worth it for the beautiful colour,

I have the babette, i do realy like these coz there just different! Cool looking cases and colors, they are a breeze to put on and got a shine to them, they don't dry up quick like alot of lippys, they do have a funny smell and tastes oily, I have a obsession with unicorns sooo maybe that's why I purchased it, I realy want the purple looking one so that might be next up. The cases are realy good and the lid dosent fall off so no lippy through the hand bag, winning. kinder shaped like a warped tampon and be confused as one sometimes . lol

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!

I can't get over the packaging of these lipsticks they have unicorns on them!!! The shape of the bullets remind me of MAC lipsticks. The formula is very creamy and glide like butter. Shade range are very daring super unique colours. Such good lipsticks if you want to make a statement.

I was lucky enough to receive one of these from one of my friends from on BR. I had never tried Lime Crime or a purple lipstick! So when I received this in Poisonberry it crossed two things off my list. Poisonberry is a dark purple which is truly unique and beautiful.

I love Lime Crime packaging. From the light purple packaging with the silver accents. And I love the silver unicorn heads and stars. Very beautiful and original. The bullet itself also has a nice point to it which I really appreciate as with such strong colours you need to be able to get a strong line around the lips.

The formulation itself feels very creamy and glides onto the lips. It goes on to the lips very opaquely in one swipe which I think is great. Now this shade is extremely purple so I haven't actually gotten the confidence to wear it out of the house yet. It is just so far out of my comfort zone! I find that the shade actually stains my lips to some degree so it stays on my lips for a very long time.

Now there is a lot of controversy around this brand (google it if you haven't heard). I don't think that this will stop me buying from this brand, but the colours and finishes aren't my usual choice so I most likely won't be purchasing from this brand again for that reason.

I purchased the 'Retrofuturist' Lipstick for my ball because i was looking for an amazingly bright red and i was not disappointed. The colour pay off is amazing and it lasts so well. I did not have to reapply at all in the 5 hours, it did not bleed or feather and even when it eventually wares it does so nicely. I love this lipstick and the colour but would only repurchase in store because of the dodgy stuff that has happened on their website.
