I have limecrimes opaque lipstick in Babette, this lipstick is not one I reach for for a few reasons; Firstly the colour is a lot brighter than I expected, from the photos on limecrimes website and online swatches I got the impression that the colour was a lighter peach not the neon colour I get - it may be that I'm pale but then so was limecrimes model. And secondly the pigmentation is great but I find it very hard to wear if my lips aren't in immaculate condition because everything shows up.
Having said that, it is very opaque and bold just like limecrime promotes and I love the vanilla scent it gives off, oh and that packaging is so adorable along with the fact they're a cruelty free brand makes up for the down falls.
After seeing the massive hype over Limecrime lippys, I decided to take the plunge and buy 1 online. I decided on Babette which had only just released, I did alot of research into swatches on othe pale skin, blonde haired girls like me so I had a good idea of the colour and how it would suit me.
I don't know if I recieved an odd one out but the colour in the bullet looks nothing like pictures ive seen online and on my lips it is more of a neon coral rather then the softer more pinkier colour that it seems to look like on others.
Application is not great. Goes on patchy and chunky, isnt creamy and requires blending with a finger to blend and sheer it out to be more wearable.
This may just be more of a personal experience for me but after all the hype thats around I was dissapointed by Babette. I would love to try Geradium and Cosmopop but am very apprehensive to try. I do love the colour range, I love when I see girls rocking the more out there colours, wish I could be as daring!
Tips: If possible try before buying
