Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick

I have limecrimes opaque lipstick in Babette, this lipstick is not one I reach for for a few reasons; Firstly the colour is a lot brighter than I expected, from the photos on limecrimes website and online swatches I got the impression that the colour was a lighter peach not the neon colour I get - it may be that I'm pale but then so was limecrimes model. And secondly the pigmentation is great but I find it very hard to wear if my lips aren't in immaculate condition because everything shows up.

Having said that, it is very opaque and bold just like limecrime promotes and I love the vanilla scent it gives off, oh and that packaging is so adorable along with the fact they're a cruelty free brand makes up for the down falls.

I purchased the colour Babette a little while ago. As previously mentioned, the colours are a little different to what they seem in pictures etc. I am lucky enough to live by a small shop that sells them so I was able to swatch all the colours. I originally wanted Cosmopop, but holy moly it is ORANGE in real life.

Anyway. These lipsticks are uber creamy and smell so good. I find I have to go over a few time on my lips to get the true colour otherwise it just seems dull and faint. The lipstick tends to go patchy on me and sticks to the dry patches on my lips. Even when I put lipbalm on beforehand it still does it. I do have quite dry lips tho.

I think I would re purchase Lime Crime again i different colours (I chose Babette as my first one because it was the least daring of them all) however, I feel they are massively hyped up and aren't as amazing as they seem.

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.

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!

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.

When I first started Beauty Review I had no idea about different brands and the quality of them. Since being on Beauty Review I became aware of Lime Crime. Lime Crime is an American Brand. Lime Crime to me is tailored to a women who likes to be daring with colours and make bold bright statements. I love the different range of colours they have.

Honestly I dreamed of having a Lime Crime lipstick because I am one of those girls who likes to be daring with different colours. I'd love to have at least one of every colour in this range. All the speculation around Lime Crime has not deterred me from wanting to try more from their range.

This Lime Crime lipstick comes in this pinky purple lipstick holder. I love these unicorns and stars on it. I'm a sucker for a Unicorn. I open it up to find a silver lipstick inside it. This colour I purchased was Geradium. It's a bright pink colour. It smells like vanilla lollies. I love scented lipstick.

Application with this lipstick was smooth. It didn't have lasting power for me. I'm not sure if it's because I brought it second hand or not. I will purchase a new one to test this theory out further.

Update: I went to get Centrifuschia and Retrofuturist. I am very sad that these will be discontinued they are really gorgeous.

My results were bright bold lips. Didn't have much lasting power. I got two limecrime lippys for $20. They were second hand. I'd love to experience them Brand new. I do love Lime Crime. I call my lipstick, my precious lol. I'm so thankful to have got it at the price I got it at.

I LOVE these lipsticks! They are so pigmented and the stay power of them is fantastic. I now own 5 and I want more! The first colour I purchased was Geradium it is the perfect pinky coral, after receiving this colour I was hooked! This was followed closely by Centrifuchsia which is a deep Fuchsia pink, Glamour 101 which is a deep red, Babette which is a really nice pink/salmon/nude. And the last colour I purchased is Poisonberry (MY FAV) is a deep berry purple. I love the formula of these lipsticks they are nice and creamy and don’t dry out my lips. A lot of these colours are not for the faint hearted as they provide a real pop of colour, they are perfect for a night out to help dress up an outfit! I did purchase these lipsticks before all the controversy happened with the company and the customers so I am in 2 minds about repurchasing, which is such a huge disappoint as I love the lipsticks!

I had heard so many rave reviews from the BR ladies on these little gems that I finally had to try them. I picked the shades Geradium and Babette.First off packaging – this is the most fun vibrant funky little tube of lipstick I have ever owned with its bright purple/pink canitster and silver stars and unicorn it’s a definate standout in my books !.Before both colours I made sure to prime my lips with a scrub and a lip balm as I had heard these can be a little drying. Babette – I was super dying to try this colour the swatch on the lime crime website is a nude pinky corally colour which I thought would be a perfect nude for me on my lips – however in real life the colours are not the same. In the tube it looks like a nude pink based colour I still actually luckily really love babette for me , its much more pinky in the tube and on my lips than the official swatch but I did still love this. It applied easily not streaky or patchy glides on and is super pigmented and opaque. I am pleased I used a lip balm first as these are a little on the dry side although with the right priming it wasn’t an issue. This did transfer to my coffee cup which I really hate but on the bright side when I checked my lips they werent patchy or horrible they still looked the same so im happy with that I don’t know how that works but it did. This wore for a few hours easily before needing to be touched up. I am definitely pleased I purchased this colour – this will be an everyday easy to use staple for me I think just the right kind of shade for my skin tone. A really good bright nude. Geradium – I actually ordered this one by mistake but again super happy I did. I was dissapointed that again the lime crime official swatch actually isnt what I got in my hot little hands – however I was lucky that I am a huge fan of pinky based lipsticks so this still was a great lippie for me. The lime crime official swatch has a totally different pink tone to what you get in real life its much more barbieesque and pink. Again this is super pigmented and applied brilliantly you don’t need to use a lot to get a super opaque finish. This was a bright standout colour probably not for everyone but I have always loved a bright pink so this fits nicely into my collection. This had a similar problem to Babette in that it did transfer to your coffee mugs etc but again it didn’t leave you with nothing on your lips it somehow still looks the same. Again this lasted a few hours before needing a redo which is good in my books. These are quite a pricey lipstick and while I do actually love the colours I got I wouldn’t buy anymore as their swatches just don’t match what you actually get I was lucky I loved mine but I don’t understand how they are so different.All in all though these are a neat little addition to my collection and I am not unhappy with my purchases.

I own "My beautiful rocket." You only need to apply this product once for a colourful lip that lasts for 5-6 hours. The formula is quite dry and this may be what makes it quite long lasting. There isn't really a fragrance which makes it very natural. The product is vegan so it is friendly to the animals.

I have 6 of these lipsticks, they are pretty great in how pigmented the colours are but vary greatly in texture between colours which is a pain but is okay once you get used to it. The colours are AMAZING though so the texture issues aren't really a problem :)
