Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick

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 was drawn to this lipstick because of the super cute packaging. I bought the shade 'Poisonberry' thinking it would show up as a dark purple like in the tube. Unfortunately the coverage isn't as opaque as I'd hoped and gave more of a magenta shade.

It lasted about 2-3 hours (without eating) which wasn't the best I've ever had but I was okay with re-applying since it gave me a chance to pull out the gorgeous tube. It smells very similar to that of a MAC lipstick (sweet vanilla). The formula is super creamy and keeps my lips hydrated, although I do wear it with the fear that it will just melt off.

I will not be re-purchasing this particular product due to the fact that there are so many better alternatives that give better colour pay-off. Not to mention the controversy that surrounds the company.

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.

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

I have D'Lilac and Great Pink Planet and I love both of these colours, they are both highly pigmented, apply well and are long lasting. They are very opaque in their appearance. They are so bold and really make a statement and are some of the most wearable colours of that range. The packaging is fun and exciting. I love these lipsticks and am keen to get some more to add to my collection!

I have two of these lipsticks in different colours and I have found them quite different from each other in the way they wear.

'Poisonberry' is a shimmery purple. It's highly pigmented and goes on smoothly. I found that this one wears pretty well and it's one of my staples for work and going out. I find the purple stains my lips in a good way, so the lipstick still looks good once it has started to wear off. For this reason, it's my go-to shade if I'm expecting a big night of drinking! I really do love this one and I'll be repurchasing it when it runs out.

On the other hand, 'Glamour 101' wasn't as good as I was expecting it to be. It could be the fault of my computer screen and perception but I was expecting a much richer, darker and almost burgundy shade of red when I ordered it. In reality it's a much lighter and brighter shade of red. Not the end of world, but I already have better lipsticks in a similar shade. The formula felt different with this shade. This one felt a lot more slippery going on and I felt like it bled easily and didn't last very well. This left a faint stain on my lips, so it looked okay as it was wearing off too.

Neither lipstick smells or tastes all that great, but this isn't a dealbreaker for me as it's not a lingering sensory experience.

Like all Lime Crime products, the packaging is as cute as hell. The lids on both of my lipsticks have cracks in them now though which I've never noticed with any other brand I've had. The lids still stay on okay in my makeup bag, but they definitely don't close up with that satisfying click anymore.

So I guess that's mixed results from me. I love 'Poisonberry'. It's been getting a hell of a lot of wear and I will definitely buy it again. 'Glamour 101' was a bit of a disappointment and I didn't feel like it was a special enough colour or long wearing enough for me to drop $30 on it again.

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 :)

OMG i love these lipsticks, from the lipstick its self to the funky packaging i love them. they are very pigmented and come in such awesome colours, the only downfall i have with them is that sometimes i find they "slip" or move on my lips and can become a bit messy when not used with a lip liner, however using a brush to apply them tend to hold them in place

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).

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!
