Lime Crime Opaque Lipstick

Cannot get enough of these! love everything about them..The colour payoff, the packaging, the smell, the length it lasts for :) need to get my hands on more as i currently only have 3 :(

i absolutely LOVE lime crime lipsticks, i have collected all the normal wearable colors and i wear them daily ! so pigmented, smooth & moisturizing with a nice vanilla scent! the only downside is that the lipstick breaks out of the tube which sucks because its such pretty packaging!

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'd been wanting to try Lime Crime for a while due to their beautiful colour range (and smell). I was lucky enough to win one and WOW, so pigmented and sat LOVELY on my lips. I had read some reviews that said their lips dried out but this was not the case for me, long lasting luscious lips all night long!

i find with the Lime Crime lipsticks they are quite hydrating and long lasting, with rich pigmented colours. No running or smudging and comes with the cutest container. And the one thing that will keep me buying Lime Crime products for years to come is that they are Vegan and cruelty free which is FANTASTIC!

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.

I own every lippy now... tad obsessed I think.

The smell, the packaging, the application, the formula, the pigmentation, well everything! is just amazing about limecrime lippies!

I love the fact they are just so bright and smell so yummy!

Even better I can wear with knowing there was no animals harmed in the making or anything to do with their make up! Even better :)

Applying is a breeze and they just glide on and are so bright in colour you dont need to go over and over to get a colour!

I do have a niggle that mine dont seem to last on my lips as long as others :( even using a primer but then again I like to feel it on and keep applying anyhow

They aren't the cheapest but not the most expensive and who can complain if you get such a pretty packaging!

WHO doesn't like unicorns!!!

I'm a fan a lover and am slowly expanding my collection :D

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.

This was my first time trying Lime Crime Lipsticks, I got the shades Cosmopop & Coquette. I absolutely adore the packaging. It is so cute and I love the unicorns! Secondly they smell divine!. I would love to own the whole collection.

These lipsticks are so creamy, long lasting and have fabulous color pay off. I'm so in love with how Cosmopop and Coquette look together. If you have tried this duo you totally need these 2 lippys in your life. I like how they are Vegan also. For me its important that products are cruelty free as well and these opaque lipsticks tick all of the boxes.

On applying I put a lip balm on to ensure my lips stayed hydrated (holy grail step for me). When applying these lipsticks you may have to do 2 coats to ensure the best color pay off. These go on some creamy, I'm very impressed with them and they last for quite a while which is a bonus. I cant wait to try all the other colors that range from natural/everyday - night/dramatic colors.

Haha, more like, where I have been all this time?! How I didn't know about LC before now is a mystery. That aside, I am super glad I am now on to them (thanks to BR!).

Now, I did a lot of 'research' and contemplating before selecting a shade. (I was only able to chose one to start with, but of course I wanted about 5 of them). The cinch-er was watching Shaaanxo's swatch video, where she models each LC shade there is.

All my lippies have arrived in the limited edition 6th anniversary packaging, which is pretty but I'm not a collector of these kinds of things. The actual tube, now, that is awesome! Purple with silver stars, writing and unicorns. It's such a cool lipstick tube.

Two things surprised me upon trying it for the first time: One; the scent. My goodness! Marshmallow-y vanilla sweetness. Two; I was not prepared for how vivid the colour is in the flesh. Wow!

I now own a few different colours, with more to join.

Babette: My first purchase. I would describe it as a very opaque, peachy/coral pastel. Needs a few coats to give full colour coverage. Long lasting.

Countessa Flourescent: A very vivid, very vibrant, fuschia pink. This is bold, bright pink, ladies. Opaque. Glides on smoothly. Long lasting, lip-staining colour.

Airborne Unicorn: Deep violet purple. Very opaque. Probably my least worn colour so far, simply because I feel it makes my teeth appear more yellow.

Next on the hit-list are Great Pink Planet, and Geradium (I'm a sucker for pinks). I'll update when I get these.
