Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick

After hearing so much hype on the lime crime brand I decided to purchase two of the most talked about colours, babette and coquette, the 'perfect' nudes. After seeing so many reviews online and many swatches I was very excited for them to come in the mail! However the colours aren't what I had expected, I have fairly light skin with pink undertones, and both babette and coquette just looked wrong! Babette looked quite orangey while coquette looked very brown. Which was such a shame considering the formula is so nice! The product smells amazing, the formula is quite opaque, creamy and moisturising and the packaging is very cute! Unfortunately my babette also started to separate from the tube after only a couple uses. Overall I'd still like to try another lipstick by lime crime although I didn't get what I expected from the last two, although the colours were not what I was expecting the formula was still great and I would love to give them a second chance :)

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.

Lime Crime lippy's are so true to colour its not funny! I have Geradium which I don't really use as it doesn't suit me. But also own Airborne Unicorn (purple) that I love & wear out whenever I can. The staying power is great too! Im going to buy more!!!! :)

I was lucky enough to receive one of these from one of my friends from on BR. I had never tried Lime Crime or a purple lipstick! So when I received this in Poisonberry it crossed two things off my list. Poisonberry is a dark purple which is truly unique and beautiful.

I love Lime Crime packaging. From the light purple packaging with the silver accents. And I love the silver unicorn heads and stars. Very beautiful and original. The bullet itself also has a nice point to it which I really appreciate as with such strong colours you need to be able to get a strong line around the lips.

The formulation itself feels very creamy and glides onto the lips. It goes on to the lips very opaquely in one swipe which I think is great. Now this shade is extremely purple so I haven't actually gotten the confidence to wear it out of the house yet. It is just so far out of my comfort zone! I find that the shade actually stains my lips to some degree so it stays on my lips for a very long time.

Now there is a lot of controversy around this brand (google it if you haven't heard). I don't think that this will stop me buying from this brand, but the colours and finishes aren't my usual choice so I most likely won't be purchasing from this brand again for that reason.

These lil puppies are my special treats i give myself when i accomplish something weather it be in life/study/gym etc and the colour range is huge ! The length of wear is amazing and pigmentation is to die for....

My first ever LimeCrime beauties were Babette and D'Lilac. Babette didn't suit my skin tone (cries in a corner) but I love D'Lilac for an intense colour if I'm feeling a little adventurous. I want to invest in Coquette as a nude for me to wear day-to-day though. I love the formula, super creamy and pigmented, and they felt really nice on the lip. Smelt devine too, omg. :D

I have glamour101 and posionberry. They are sooo smooth to apply and using shaaanxo code they only cost me $26 from pagan Marie . They are such an awesome buy !

I had been lusting over lime crime lipsticks for so long before finally purchasing one. I decided to apprehensively though because of all the behind the scenes drama. BUT im glad i did :) I got the shade Airborne Unicorn. Wowie it is such a gorgeous color, its a vibrant lilac shade.

The packaging is amazing! It comes in a shiny purple tube with a silver unicorn and stars on it. The box that it came inside was equally as great. I got the limited edition packaging which is a silver box with black writing So so pretty!

The lipstick itself is extremely pigmented and opaque. It is a matte formula yet still very creamy. It applies beautifully and feels very comfortable on the lips. Unlike unlike most matte lipsticks this one is not drying at all. It is quiet long wearing but definitely not the longest wearing lippy i have. It does transfer a little when you eat, drink and kiss. But not too much to bother me.

One thing i didn't really like about this particular color was that it stained my lips. It was impossible to remove the stain even with scrubbing! Also the color was a weird pink tone completely different to the actual lipstick.

I love this lipstick and cannot wait to buy more from lime crime!

Lime crime lipsticks a so amazing! I love that they have so many bold and wacky colours to choose from, and how pigmented these lipsticks are, also the lipsticks look so pretty with the cute unicorn on them :) omg i need them all!! There a must have you will fall in love

I love these lipsticks! I have the colours poisionberry and great pink planet, they're so creamy and opaque and last for hours on my lips! I get a lot of comments when I wear these :) I love the colours, from bold to subtle I think anyone could find a colour they like in this range :) the packacking is adorable and they smell great, definitley will be buying more!
