Lime Crime Lipsticks: First Impressions

It feels like forever since I have done a blogpost! And what better way to get back into the swing of things than a post about lipsticks. My all time favourite beauty product. 



Lime Crime lipsticks have been around for a while now and have become a cult beauty product for many YouTube beauty gurus and bloggers alike. Now its my turn to love them! I purchased three of these lipsticks from a website called Beautyjoint.com. These lipsticks are priced at $18 which works out at around €13 which personally, I find to be a reasonable price for such great lipsticks. This site currently has 17 shades available of the Opaque Lipsticks with Coquette popping in and out of the bunch occasionally. They also have many other Lime Crime products available such as nail polishes, Velvetines Liquid Lipsticks and eyeshadows. 

On the website, these lipsticks are described as being "recklessly loaded with pigment" to "underscore your personality". I think this is completely true. I picked up the shades Babette , Geradium and Centrifuscia



As you can see from the swatches above, these lipsticks really do live up to their name. Super pigmented! My favourite shade has to be Babette. It looked more nude online but its actually a slightly peachy toned lipstick. I still love it though. I have to be careful when applying this as it really is opaque in one go. I like to dab a bit on with my finger instead of straight from the tube.

Overall I would really recommend these lipsticks to anyone looking for great quality and pigmented lipsticks. I will say however, Lime Crime is not for the faint hearted as the other colours in the range consist of a bright yellow and a blue lipstick. Not easily worn colours. Haha


Have you tried any Lime Crime products before? What are your thoughts?
