Lime Crime Mint To Be Lipstick

Mint To Be is a mint green lipstick from Lime Crime. I've always loved Lime Crime's color selection of lipsticks and as soon as I saw they had a mint color, I always wanted it. Like all of Lime Crime's lipsticks, the packaging is a similar shape to MAC's just a bit bigger. It's also a lovely lilac color with a unicorn on the design. I don't have a mint color in my collection, so this is a great color to have, along with my expanding selection of crazy colors.

Like other Lime Crime lipsticks, this one has a creamy texture too. Theres plenty of pigment in this color and it took about two applications to get full color. It isn't a matte, so it doesn't have the staying power of one, but it did stay on most of the day and only needed reapplying once. The texture wasn't drying, sticky and didn't have a slimy slippery texture, like Makeup Revolution's lipsticks do. 

I love the color of Mint To Be. People may be a bit unsure whether to wear a mint lipstick, but I say go for it and have fun with the colors. I wore this color with a dark eyeshadow and it looked fab.

Lime Crime New Yolk City Lipstick

I've always liked Lime Crime's color selection of lipsticks. They do regular colors like pink, but also do crazy colors like blue and green. I always like something different, and decided to try yellow as a lip color. 

New Yolk City is a banana yellow lipstick with a really nice creamy texture, similar to other Lime Crime lipsticks. It comes in lilac packaging with a unicorn on. The packaging is a bit like MAC's lipsticks, the same sort of shape but a bit wider. 

Yellow is usually a dodgy color. I've found most yellow eyeshadows to be difficult to build up and go a bit patchy. It was the same with this lipstick. It took me a number of applications to get an opaque finish. It went on smooth and didn't feel a bit sheer. It did need reapplying throughout the day. Yellow is not a color choice most people would go for on their lips. I say be daring and try this color out. It did go well with black eyeshadow. I love this color as it is such a different color and makes a change to pink.

Lime Crime Aquataenia Palette

I really like Lime Crime, especially their bright colored lipsticks, so I decided to try one of their palettes. The one I got is called Aquataenia and features 5 bright colored eyeshadows all in shimmery pearlescent shades. The palette comes in purple tin packaging with the Lime Crime logo on the front. I quite like the design and it is easy to carry around, very light and sturdy.

Lime Crime is an American brand so not many places over here sell it. Fortunately there are some UK sites that sell this brand. I got mine from Cute Cosmetics for £23.95. They also stock other Lime Crime palettes and lipsticks.

Professional-quality eyeshadow arranged by themes. Each palette features 5 coordinated shades that work flawlessly together as well as on their own. Cashmere formula is loaded to the brim with pigment & offers luxurious payoff and superb blendability. Palettes arrive encased in a deluxe purple tin.

Aquataenia is different from all previous LC palettes because it's completely *pearlescent*. Each oceanic shade is loaded with shimmer & glitter particles to create a wet, glistening effect -- reminiscent of a mermaid's tail under the moonlight -- and makes your eyelids sparkle like the sea! Can be used on eyes or cheeks. Arrives encased in a deluxe purple tin.

The colors as you can see are very bright and shimmery. All are named with sea themed names such as Nautilus Prime (Dark Blue), Coral Of The Story (Coral), Seahorse Discourse (Lime Green), Pearl-Ple (Purple) and Atlanteal (Aqua Blue).

For the bright eyeshadow lover like me, this palette is great for creating all different looks. I found all of the colors were very pigmented and blended together easily. There was no creasing and by the night time the colors looked like I had just put them on.

Seahorse Discourse, Nautilus Prime and Coral Of The Story

Coral Of The Story and Pearl-Ple

All of the colors were great to work with, although my favourites were Coral Of The Story, Pearl-Ple and Nautilus Prime. These palettes are amazing to work with as you can do so much with them.
