Lime Crime Lipstick - Page 8

Honestly... I quite enjoy my LC lipsticks, but after this whole Chinadoll problem and her absolutely ignorance towards other cultures, plus her not even APOLOGIZING for her images though they offended a lot of people... I don't think I will be purchasing from this company anymore. And btw, I know she said "I'm sorry for anyone I offended..." but made up a huge slew of excuses... when all she really needed to do was apologize and mean it sincerely. 

Also for anyone curious about the lipglosses... I was extremely disappointed by the lipglosses I bought, so much so I don't even want to use them, I end up eating so much gloss from them migrating (even after blotting lips and lining them, etc)... it's definitely not worth the $17 price tag. They are gorgeous... but they fade very quickly, and of course they were advertised as "The lipgloss you can wear alone it's so pigmented!" yet then I've been told by Doe Deere herself to blot, put foundation on my lips, lipliner, then gloss and make sure I be careful on the lines so they don't migrate... yeah, pain in the buttocks. The formula on these feels so lazy... I wonder if Doe Deere herself even WORE these to test them before selling them.

And of course, I've never bought the shadows for more than a few reasons.

Well...I agree with everyone about Lime Crime being a magnet for drama. I don't support the brand, but I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way NOT to purchase from them if they make a product I'm interested in. I think Doe Deere is ignorant, defensive, and probably more than a bit of a narcissist. Not a good way to be when you're trying to run a business.

That being said, has anyone picked up the LE Chinchilla lipstick released with the Lip Noir collection? I have yet to see a lipstick out there in a similar color (NYX's Power being the closest based on some random swatches I saw on a blog), and I'm wondering how deathly it might look on an NC25.

Any takers?

I forgot to add to my post—I'm thoroughly convinced that Chinchilla was blatantly ripped from Essie's Chinchilla nail polish. They look EXACTLY the same and the Essie polish is permanent and has been around for a while. That can't be a coincidence...can it?

I actually found it on another site for $3 so I ended up picking it up before it sold out! It's actually not as grey as you would think... it's more of a grey lavender color... it makes you look like death xD I just tried it on today when it came in the mail. It's alright... but again it's eeehhhhhhhhhhhh... I'm NC15 and it's super paleish on me and VERY lavender compared to a grey. Which kinda makes me sad, I was hoping for a serious grey, not a lavender, I have enough lavender.

Thanks SmashSmashBam! I've been lemming the shade, but if it looks a bit deathly on you it will definitely look deathly on me since I'm a little darker. I've been dying for a true gray lipstick and recently placed an order at Morgana Cryptoria for Melissa's Lady Grey lippie. It looks like a true mid-tone gray and I'm really excited about it. =)

Morgana's stuff is supposed to be amazing. I have yet to really try their lipgloss and sticks but I might buy some soon :D
