Lime Crime Lipstick

Re: Lime Crime

this looks gorgeous,i looked at the site as xsparkage aka leesha used it on youtube but havent bought any yet x

Re: Lime Crime

i've heard mixed reviews about lime crime. i want to try it but i was hesitant after i read someone saying that her pigments are the exact same as other companies but she just jacks the price up.

Re: Lime Crime

The shades look pretty but none of them are exceptionally unique-I sort of believe that they might just be repackaged mica. If this is true, I'd rather buy from someone else!

Re: Lime Crime

Some only use Lime Crime, some say it's crap. I went with Fyrinnae instead. According to some people on YouTube, all Lime Crime is is the person buying micas and then selling them with her label on them and the price way higher, but I don't know if it's true. If she ever offers samples I'll probably get some, but I just can't spend that much money on a product I don't even know if I'll like.

Re: Lime Crime

She said in an interview that she doesn't make them herself, she has a supplier who makes them and she sells them on.

Re: Lime Crime

I heard that there is very little product in the jar which a long with the things mentioned by others on this thread and the cost of shipping to the UK is apparently not very cheap, which has put me off despite wanting to try them.

Lime Crime Lipstick

Ever since Xenia announced that lime crime would be doing lipsticks i was intrigued since she liked funky loud colors. What would they look like? How would they apply?

When i saw the images of her wearing them on her blog I just knew i had to try them! They looked so opaque and nice. The packaging reminds me of the pink cuteness that the Heatherette lipstick packaging had.



Lips : Lime Crime Makeup:, So bright, its illegal!

pre-orders start today, and ship out on the 25th.

are you going to try any?

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

I'm not sure about the lipstick, but the eye dust DEFINITELY intrigued me!

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

The link doesn't work for me, it takes me to a page that says "I must have messed up, this page doesn't exist!"

Lips : Lime Crime Makeup:, So bright, its illegal!


They look great, I've planned on getting Centrifushia for a few months now. I LOVE the packaging.

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

.. ok so i would have ordered my few lippies but for some reason its not calculating the discount for gift certificates right no way im paying 70 something dollars when i have a gift certificate for 50 !

Humm i dont know why it wouldn't work for you .. it works for me? Odd.

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

I can't wait to try this. They are so pigmented and opaque. I love the range of colors and packaging - it does remind me of Heatherette too.

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

A friend of mine is crazy about this brand because she's in that phase of trying to look bright and punkish. Lol.

I'm interested in getting the blue lippie and maybe one of the violet ones. The eye dusts also look cool. I'll have to look further when I get back from my trip to Japan.

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

They look great IMO

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

I would be more interested if it wasnt for the children's toy isle, play makeup packaging and design lol

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

I pre-ordered Cosmopop and Airborne Unicorn, but they all look delicious! I'm curious to see how they will wear, but they seem really pigmented and Xenia really whipped up some beautiful shades there! IMO they have the potential to be her biggest hit yet...

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

I am definitely intrigued, but I think I will wait for swatches.
These do look promising!

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

I'm looking forward to these. I've held off buying the eye dusts because they're quite expensive for the amount that you get, but I just saw the blog post where she says they're being repackaged and we will now be getting double the amount for the same price!! Definitely will be ordering when those appear!

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

Ohh I definitely need the fuchsia and the red lipstick and some of those eye dusts.
And the packaging is mega cute!
Would almost buy it for the packaging alone

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

They are so cute but the whole re-packaging saga has totally put me off this brand.

xoxo

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

As soon as I saw these I wanted like...6 of them. I love the pinks, purples and that one red is just gorgeous. I'm also (oddly, for me) liking that light creamy orange color. Sorry, I didn't look up the names, I'm just going by memory of the colors,lol. So pretty. I've tried some of their eye dusts to review for my blog and really liked them. They're nice and bright.

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

that purple looks sweet imma buy it

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

Apparently all the eyedusts are repackaged mineral makeup from other companies, like 'beauty from the earth', for example: you can get lime criminal by buying 'envy' from bfte.
Where the lippies come from, no clue, but they're even more expensive than MAC and they have professionals working on their formulas and such, DD has.. what? a website.

There's more to read if you google 'lime crime repackage'.

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

Man that company is shady. I find it hard to believe that this is an original product either and I think it's just a matter of time before we find out where the lipsticks are sourced from.

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

Even though I found out about all that bad stuff only recently, I still can't help but like their setup! Such pretty packaging! I have almost all of their stuff and have ordered every lippy except styletto and retrofuturist (which is the red and the black, because I already have a nice red and black lippy). If I had the chance though, I would have bought the similar shades from Beauty From the Earth which at a much more fair price. But sadly as I said, I only recently found out that they were repackaged which was after I bought all the dusts.

I hope the lipsticks aren't repackaged shades though that wouldn't be very good. But Xenia did do a post on her blog about how she made them so it sounds like she did these from scratch. With the magic dusts, I thought I'd finally found a brand with bright, new, original colours, then I found information about the magic dusts and repackaging and even though I still like limecrime (like the set-up and Xenia's tutorials etc.), I lost a lot of respect for the company. A lot of that stuff does go on though with cosmetics and I just don't understand how someone could re-sell something already created, or copy off of someone else's work and say it's their own shade . I think when you create your own thing it feels SO much more rewarding!

@MK09: The packaging is supposed to be like that IMO. It's all about sunshine, lollipops. Look at the lipstick collection name: candyfuture! And remember though having nice packaging is a bonus, it's about the product that's inside in the end, cause that's what you're using on your body . I personally like it though
@Violenza: Thanks for the links! I'm about to check them out

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

Thank you so much for the links and information. I had no idea whatsoever!

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

Those links are interesting; I don't know enough about makeup reselling/repackaging to really contribute but I can relate to the horrible feeling you get when you realize something you bought has been misrepresented to you.

I really enjoy her blogging, and I remember this post about creating the lipsticks; so even if the shadows are repackaged, it seems like the lipsticks were her creation:

So How Do You Make Lipstick? | Doe Deere Blogazine

I work in branding/design and the packaging is perfect for this brand and its positioning. This makeup isn't intended for the average makeup buyer or anyone looking to appear conservative. It's eccentric. It would be really weird for it to be in understated, neutral packages. And the Doe Deere "brand" itself is carried over onto the makeup, so pink and unicorns really make sense here.

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

I've never heard of Xenia makeup. Where can it be purchased at?? I love the colors!

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

i love the look of the lipstciks but will need to read reviews before i buy any first. i don't want to waste my money on fab packaging but not so fab product. so if you have them please let us know your thorughts on texture, how long the last and such please!

Re: Lime Crime Lipstick

I checked MUA for reviews but they don't have any reviews of the lipsticks. I am also curious to hear what people who have bought them think of the formula/colors.
