Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick

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.

The colours of Lime Crime lipsticks are like no other, the pastels to be found in no other store, and the formulas creamier than any brand I've used before. Unfortunately this does mean they tend to transfer, and due to the uncommon shades it's difficult to find lip liners that suit. I choose not to wear these when I'll be eating or drinking much as the reapplying does become a bit tedious. Aside from that, they are beautiful - I never go a day wearing them without being complimented and asked where to purchase.

I brought my first Limecrime lipstick today and needless to say I love it! I got the colour Babette and it is the most gorgeous colour and very complimentary with my pale skin and light hair. I love how creamy they feel and how pigmented they are and they are super long wearing even when eating and drinking.

I was pretty uncertain as to whether Geradium would suit me, having not worn a coral shade before but, apprehensively, I tried it on and now I'm in love! I’d originally considered it more of a neon pink than a coral, but after having a look at a few reviews of this shade online, it seems as though it really pulls different colours on each person who wears it.

Lime Crime lippys are very creamy. They apply like a dream and have great staying power (though you will need to reapply it after lunch :P). They are a little on the dry side, so I wouldn't wear them every day, but I would definitely recommend that you give one a try.

After a lot of research, and hearing rave reviews, I finally "caved" and bought the Lime Crime lipstick Poisonberry. I was immediately impressed at how pigmented it is; a little goes a long way! It is also a beautiful hue for those that want to go dark but are a bit hesitant, as Poisonberry has a nice dark pink hue and shimmer to it. Grungy yet can be worn both girly and sophisticated - love!

As with most dark lipsticks, I found that it would benefit greatly from lipliner as it does tend to smear and bleed across the lip line. It did smear and definitely came off on things, like on glasses and my husband (sorry, darling! hehe), but it was as much as any other dark lipstick. However, what sets it apart is that it didn't seem to affect the color on the lips too much.

The consistency of the lipstick is what really did it for me. It is very creamy and stays creamy all day. At first, this particular hue seemed a bit harder to put on than the more pastel colors I sampled, but seems to be softening up with each use.

This stuff is lip colour on steroids! All the colours are so pigmented & really pop on your lips. I have Cosmopop (a peachy colour) & I just adore it. It is not for the faint hearted though. If you are looking for a blend into the crowd colour these lippys are not it. They apply really nice & smooth and you only need a coat or 2 for the colour to really stand out. The packaging is also super cute & the lipstick also is really pleasant smelling. I wish I had the guts to wear more of these colours so I can add more to my growing collection of lip sticks

First I will talk about the packaging. While I don't mind the whole unicorn design I HATE how awkwardly bulky this lipstick is. It really feels like those fake lipstick toys you get children.

The actual product itself is great. I got the purple one as I'm drawn to purple. It can be real hard to find purple lipstick as a lot look purple but come out with more of a plum tinge when you apply but this is legit purple. The only thing I don't like is that it does stain when you remove it so can be a bit annoying if you apply it wrong

I only own one Lime Crime lippy but can't wait to buy so many more! I have 'Airborne Unicorn' - a bright lilac colour. The texture is so creamy, the colour is highly pigmented, and long lasting! So many gorgeous colours to choose from, cute packaging, well worth purchasing!

Have fully jumped on the Lime Crime bandwagon. After loving the velvetine range, I decided to give the Opaque a try and purchased Geradium and I must say I am very impressed. I was starting to give up on lipstick as they all wear off, smudge or just don't look right on me. Not anymore. I LOVED the pigmented formula and it was so creamy and easy to apply. The color is super beautiful and vibrant, I will definitely be purchasing more in the range. It did wear off after a while and doesn't have the staying power that velvetine range does but it's definitely easier to apply/remove. Would highly recommend.
