Bold. Opaque. Recklessly loaded with pigment. For lips that speak louder than words.

Higher hopes

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.

Controversial.

Aside from all the rumours surrounding this brand, I think the fact remains that these lipsticks are simply average. I have five of them, and honestly, I mostly have them for the packaging. The formula feels very thick, and the lighter shades like Babette are very patchy and clump up on the lips. They have some interesting colours, but they just aren't great quality. I feel like most of the price is due to packaging and branding as opposed to the products. I do really like Retrofuturist, which is a bright red, not only for the colour but as this one is creamier than the others I have. This line is inconsistent.

Tips: If you want something from lime crime, get the velvetines.

Iffy

I like limecrime lipsticks, they are gorgeous and the colour range is awesome (not to mention the packaging) but I just don't agree with the company, so I probably wont buy any more, just use the ones I have. However if you want opaque colours that might be hard to find elsewhere then these are great.

Tips: Some of the colours are quite drying so wearing a lip balm underneath or over top often helps.

AMAZING colours

I love the lippy i got given from my friend. She purchased it and gave it to me as she didn't like the colour on her. It is the first or 2nd shade in the top row of this picture. I love the density and pastel colouring.

Tips: I often like to mix it with a gloss or a more subtle colour if i am not wanting such an out there bright look.

Soft, pigmented but not long lasting

I bought this in Serpentina green for a Halloween costume I was planning. I tried it on before the day and found that although the lipstick applied nicely and had great pigmentation the colour transfer was a bit too much. I had nearly no lip coverage after on a hour or so apart from the outer edge of my lips. I was disappointed to say the least. The actual formula is smooth and buttery yet firm to apply and the scent is a soft vanilla milkshake type smell (not one that gets to the back of your throat though)

I do love the packaging though... who doesn't love a unicorn?!

It was a pricey lesson to learn but I have heard that some shades wear differently to others. I still have it though and I keep it for Halloweens/dress-ups makeup-play just for fun (I know make up expires but I am not going to bin it just yet).

I wish I had bought the shade Poisonberry instead (when it was still available in NZ stores it was great to see swatches but I opted for a more out there colour oops).

Tips: For the price of the lipstick make sure it's a colour you will wear often otherwise you will just be throwing your money away.

Lime Crime Centrifuschia Opaque Lipstick

This is the first lime crime lipstick I bought. I did buy it second hand because I didn't really want to order off the site at that time and a friend of mine didn't want to keep it as they had only used it a couple times. First off I think the case is nice pink toned lavender which stands out from my other lipsticks that come in black tubes. The silver stars and the unicorn on the tube are a really nice touch. Centrifuschia is as you probably guessed is a vibrant pink fuschia. It does have a creme to satin sheen and goes on smoothly and very opaque. The lipstick has a sort of fake vanilla scent to it. Not the worst vanilla scent, it just doesn't smell like vanilla pods. This Lime Crime lipstick lasts on my lips a long time. I find that I can eat and drink and I'll still have a lot of color on my lips. Even after six hours and two meals later, I find that the color is faded a bit at the sides and worn out in the middle but my lips are still vibrant fuschia. The cons of this product would be that it's more of a dry feeling when I use this lipstick once the lipstick has gone on it feels pretty dry on my lips. Another is that it transfers onto anything that touches my lips - food, cups, loved ones, etc. I once was eating an apple while wearing this and ended up with lip marks of vibrant fuschia on my nose and around my nose and chin. Luckily I was near a ladies room so was able to wipe it off, but it did get a few people looking at me awkwardly before a lady kindly pointed it out. That being said most lipsticks will transfer on to cups, water bottles and love ones (if you like to kiss them). As a lipstick this is a good lipstick. It's not my favorite or the one I reach for the most, but at the time of writing this I think that's because of the color and how it will show up on anything my lips touch. However, it is the only fuschia lipstick I own at the moment and I do like to wear the shade from time to time. I'm not sure if I would repurchase this brand though but that's mainly because of the price, shipping and the security issues with the site and as far as their lipsticks go I definitely prefer their Velvetines to their regular lipsticks.

Tips: Exfoliate your lips before applying this. If you are going to wear this lipstick please avoid spherical, remotely spherical shaped foods like apples for example. This lipstick will still be able to transfer even when it feels dry to touch. After eating if you can’t touch up your lipstick, rub your top and bottom lips together to make the fade less noticeable. I didn't buy this lipstick off the site but I did an order when my credit card was about to expire, I didn't have any issues with security.

Some hits and some misses

I have the yellow (New Yolk City) and a deep purple. They feel comfortable on and have a nice semi-matte finish. However the yellow goes on a bit patchy.

Tips: For the pastel shades try using a nude liner all over the lips, or foundation all over the lips for a base, and staying power.

They're okay

With the ultra cute packaging, wild colours and creamy consistency it's hard to look past Lime Crime lippies unfortunately they just fall a bit flat for me.

The colours just don't show up the opaque for me and really don't seem to match the photos used in promo materials.

Yes they are creamy but they are also super prone to melting into a gooey mess on a lukewarm day and just randomly break, really unpractical. If you're going to use a super creamy formula that isn't even remotely stable put that stuff in a pot and call it a day. I've depotted a few of mine because they're fun and I paid a fair amount for them so I want to use them even though they went all weird frankenlippie on me in the first week.

A Bit Pricey

I only own Airborne Unicorn which is a lovely pinky-lilac shade, I like the colour and it suits my skin tone so I will continue to use it however I don't think it is as great as it hyped up to be. The particular shade I have is very creamy, opaque and has good colour payoff however, it only lasts a couple of hours which is fine but for the price I'd expect a bit more. It has a pleasant scent, it smells slightly of vanilla? I'm not sure that I'd purchase again unless I got a colour on sale, I feel like I spent my money on packaging rather than an amazing product.

Slightly dissapointed :(

After seeing the massive hype over Limecrime lippys, I decided to take the plunge and buy 1 online. I decided on Babette which had only just released, I did alot of research into swatches on othe pale skin, blonde haired girls like me so I had a good idea of the colour and how it would suit me.

I don't know if I recieved an odd one out but the colour in the bullet looks nothing like pictures ive seen online and on my lips it is more of a neon coral rather then the softer more pinkier colour that it seems to look like on others.

Application is not great. Goes on patchy and chunky, isnt creamy and requires blending with a finger to blend and sheer it out to be more wearable.

This may just be more of a personal experience for me but after all the hype thats around I was dissapointed by Babette. I would love to try Geradium and Cosmopop but am very apprehensive to try. I do love the colour range, I love when I see girls rocking the more out there colours, wish I could be as daring!

Tips: If possible try before buying
