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.

Lime crime has to be the most funky vibrant packaged product you can get, i thought the colors are very unique, I'm a huge fan of pinks and funky colors so when my first package arrived with Babette,Croquette & Geradium i was overly exited as i stated the packaging was so cool made me feel like a kid again, After a few wears i found that the colours weren't as moisturizing as i would have liked and found myself reapplying a lot, but basically the color was so to dye for you just sucked it up :) awesome pigments and semi good prices!

I feel al most scared to write this review as so many people love these lipsticks so much then there is me who doesn't like them. Lets start with the packaging, it has to be one of the most out there of any lipsticks i have seen, some people might find it kind of child like but it is actually beautiful in real life and looked amazing in my lipstick stand! I first brought babette as it is one of the more wearable colours and is very popular, it is a peachy pink very pretty colour! i really wanted to love this lipstick colour but no matter what it gave me a horrible lipstick line around my mouth and was quite drying so i ended up selling babette and thought id pick another colour because they were so raved about and maybe i just didn't like the colour all that much. So the next colour i got was coquette it is some what similar to babette but more on the nude side, again it did the same as babette left my lips dry and the horrible lipstick line. I am really sad that i didn't like both of them and that they didn't sit on my lips good. I wont be trying any other colours as some of them are just to out there for me. I paid 18 USD for both of mine so for a lipstick they weren't that bad of a price. I sold both and got my money back! I would still recommend these lipsticks to a friend as they might love them as they are very raved about lipsticks!

I bought this for I think NZD$29 and was super excited to try it out. Packaging is adorable and looks great in my collection however that's as much as it's good for. The colour is definitely opaque so I can't fault that but found that it bleeds quite a bit and doesn't last as long as I thought it would. I get that it is a glossy formula but this was beyond usable for extended periods. And with is being such an opaque and vibrant colour you could easily see where it had smudged. Disappointed but still cute though lol

Last I heard this company claimed to be vegan but wasn’t… I loved the products until I found that out. If that’s your cup of tea then sweet as great product! Otherwise say no to animal cruelty xx

I got the colour Geradium, and I was really disappointed with it to be honest. I've heard such good things about it from other people, but I really didn't like it. No matter how well I prepped my lips it still looked dry and flaky when I put it on, so much so that I was never confident enough to wear it out because it looked so uneven! I've never had this problem with any other lipstick, so I have to assume that it was the lipstick and not my lips.

I had some friends that were really into Lime Crime - but I could never justify the price to myself for something I just wasn't sure on. When they came on sale in Boxing Day sales I thought, maybe this is my time to try. So I grabbed Centrifuschia, I didn't end up keeping it long - and then a friend overseas surprised me with another one. I thought I had better really try, since she had gone out of her way to get it. The purple and silver tube with a unicorn on it is undeniably cute. But it is one of the only things I like - the other being the scent (a nice sweet vanilla smell)

To me the lipstick is nice and creamy - but it is hard to keep in the right place and makes a disaster of a mess. Centrifuschia really isn't my colour, it can look amazing on some people - but for me it makes my teeth look awful and I feel like a kid that got into my Mum's bright lipstick. When I finally got it right it didn't last very long on, and it stains my lips quite a bit.

Due to the ethics of the creator and the less than impressive performance compared to many of my other lipsticks, I don't think I would purchase again.
