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

YEs

I love lime crime lippys! Seriously they have some really cool colours in their range and i am such a fan of their pastels and nudey colors, they have a really lovely cremey texture to them and sit on my lips so well. Some lipsticks i find hard to match and look natural with lip liners but these lippys work really well. They are a bit pricey but the quality is actually amazing! Would reccomend for sure!

Great!

Love all these colours! They're great, the pigment is perfect and the packaging is eye catching! So sad that they aren't at my local beauty store.

Tips: Use a lip liner, as these colours are a whole lot more noticeable if they bleed!

Airborne unicorn

Only had one but I loved it the packaging is super cute and the colour is opaque and lasts well! Did end up giving it away just because I'm not overly confident wearing bright colours but a good product and I would purchase again in a different shade

Despite the Lime Crime Drama - great lipstick

I used to love Lime Crime lipsticks and even though the drama that happened about the company which turned me off to their products I do miss their lipsticks as I found them amazing.

From the cute purple packaging with holo silver sparkly unicorn on them, with adorable colour selection and have a vanilla scent that makes a great experience when applying and wearing.

Great opaque lipstick with 1 to 2 applications, these are not long lasting and do wear slightly throughout the day but that is what lipsticks do.

Brilliant bright colours

I've always wanted to try Lime Crime lipsticks since everyone was talking about it; Youtubers, bloggers and even my friends. So the chance popped up when an online store had a 15% discount! Even though I have too many lipsticks already, when a good discounts presents itself I just can't say no!

The colour I got was Countessa Fluorescent, it's a bright gorgeous pink colour. The lipstick has a thick texture, though not as creamy as I had hoped. It has a lovely vanilla scent which is quite pleasant to use and the colour was really pigmented like it promised.

The only complain I have with LC is the dryness, not sure if particular colours have different formulas but countessa fluorescent made my lips very dry and flaky after a day. Also the colour tends to feather out if I don't use a lipliner which is something that girls need to consider. The packaging is also very bright and fun, but I found the material of the tube (plastic) felt a bit cheap in my opinion.

Overall I really enjoy the how pigmented LC lipsticks are, it's a mid range product which lots of unique and adventurous colours. Even though the formula of this lipstick was a bit drying but I would still be keen to try out some of their other popular colours, got my eyes on babette and centrifuchsia next!

Tips: I highly recommend scrubbing your lips first and moisturising your lips first for a better and smoother application. Also use a lipliner for a longer lasting effect.

Bright, Bold Lips!

I was actually surprised at how vibrant and bright these were! I had heard the hype and thought maybe people just loved the packaging (a beautiful bonus). I did however find that they dried out my lips if I forgot to moisturise them.

Tips: Can be a little drying so moisturise you lips before applying!

pretty good

these lipsticks are good but not for the price, i feel that in this instance you are paying more for the brand name then the quality itself. the lipstick feels plastic-y and wears off within a few hours needing frequent touch ups especially for the more outrageous colours.

Tips: use lip balm and lip liner to pro long your wear out of this lipstick

Lime Crime

I'm not a huge fan of Lime Crime due to the way it feels on my lips once applied. I have Babette and Glamour 101. They feel heavy and cakey, and I don't even apply much. Don't get me wrong, the colours are stunning and these lipsticks are highly pigmented, and will last you a lot longer than a couple of hours. But when something doesn't feel right on my lips, I'm not going to continue using it.

Tips: If someone you know owns any of the lime crime lipsticks, I recommend trying before you buy.

Great colour range but where's the lasting power?

I have eight of what I like to call the "wearable" shades and overall they're decent lipsticks but I find that that the quality of the formula is not consistent across the shades.

They come in undeniably eye catching lilac bullets with holographic unicorns. They're the same height as the average lipstick but are much wider. I bought all my lipsticks from NZ suppliers - however Lime Crime products are now only available from the Lime Crime website.

They have a creamy texture which saturates the lips nicely with the bold colours going on more smoothly than the lighter shades. Because of this the bolder shades have better coverage. I'm not too sure why the lighter shades go on more patchy but it's a tad disappointing because they were the shades that initiated the purchase.

The colour range is great and a lot of people will find a shade that speaks to them :-) With the lighter colours they're a bit too "animated" for my liking however I still manage to make them work. I tend to mix the lighter shades with darker nudes just so that it will suit me as I find that Babette and Coquette wash me out when worn alone.

A typical "nude" in the Lime Crime range isn't really the kind of nude for someone like myself from the chocolate club (unless you're into white based nudes then wooohooo for you; you're in luck!). All is not lost however I love the "bold colours" - Centrifuchsia (fuchsia), Poisonberry (violet) and Glamour10 (deep red).

Unfortunately the longevity of the lipsticks are dismal, if I'm careful I can probably get 2-3 hours wear. It's a good thing I like to blot anyway which is what I do with these lipsticks the only thing that's wearing my patience thin is blotting the lighter shades. I have to repeat the process probably 4-5 times until I get decent colour that will stain the lips. Would I recommend these lipsticks? I would probably recommend other ones first.

Tips: If you haven't used the lipsticks in awhile it's probably best to warm up the product by swatching it on your hand and then you're good to go or else they'll tug at your lips.

Maybe a little too much for me

First of all! I might get a few thumbs down for this but someones gotta say it. I bought two of these on a whim from Cosmic and for $60 (both) i expected them to be amazing!! Well i guess they are but thats not where I was kinda ehhhhh. From cosmic's light, these lipsticks look so good but from a natural light, (maybe its just personal preference), i found these a little.. too much. These are hard to pull off unless you have white as snow teeth, perfect lip shape, no dryness or fine lines on the lips and if you have (pardon me) light skin tone. For a girl like me who has olive/tan skin, these were so overwhelming, like when you first look at me, the first word that would pop up in your head would be LIPSTICK. These were opaque which was good but it was hard to sheer it out! They are a bit drying, i love the smell though. Maybe I'm just not brave enough to wear these out. I did wear them around the house for a few hours and when i went to eat and drink they were on my chin. Imagine if i was in a restaurant. Im sorry but just not for me.
