D'Lilac is Delovely

I was trying to come up with a look for my D'Lilac lipstick. I was thinking maybe a pale lavender with a dark almost black cut crease. But I went with this one. To kind of show the versatility of the lipstick...if that's possible. I think you are either going to wear this stuff or you arnt.

 
      So my eyebrows are kinda crazy in this last picture. I cleaned them up after. They grow so fast on me. I swear they should be taking my genes for testing to make hair growth for men products! ;)

Eyes: Inner corner:
            Ben Nye:Teal
            Calypso Minerals: Popstar (blue)
            Calypso Minerals: Kryptonite(reflects green)
          Outer Corner:
            Calypso Minerals: Tramp (purple)
            MAC: Nocternelle
          Liner:
            Maybelline: Waterproof liquid black
            Urban Decay: Metalhead(purple glitter liner)
            MAC: Feline on waterline
Face: MAC: Studio Tech
Lips: Lime Crime: D'Lilac

           ALSO, this next picture was taken 4.5hours later after going to the store annnnd a nap! Honestly, I didn't retouch it once after I took these pictures!! and yeah I just started to take off my makeup when I realized this. ;)




Soooo, Its not all Lime Crime Lipsticks. Coming up I will he reviewing some haircare products, face wash, roll on perfumes. I also want to start comparing different brands to one another. High end compared to drug store kind of thing. 

If anyone has any request of brands to compare or anything you want me to review, let me know!

LimeCrime Lipsticks and Customer Service

I'm so excited! Guess what came in the mail the other day?!?! My Lime Crime Lipsticks!

I do have to start off with a funny fact: I only ordered these after I complained to Lime Crime about their makeup.


   
I bought six eye shadows from them about a year ago. I got them when they were still in the tiny small pots. I was so upset that now you get double the amount for the same amount of money. I wrote them an email. I included my previous order information in it as well as my concerns. And you know what? I was really impressed! 

   They got back to me THE SAME DAY! Which was crazy. I was expecting to wait about a month. Mark, in charge of customer service, was really nice and offered a great amazing deal on lipsticks to restore my faith in their company. I ordered 4 lipsticks that same day. From the day I wrote the email to the day I received them it took 7days! Not to shabby.

They are even better in person than in photos. Speaking of which...

From Left to Right: Countessa Flourescent, Great Pink Planet, D'Lilac, No She Didn't

Lipsticks: $16.00 each

  They are so smooth and easy to apply. Amazingly creamy, not drying at all. They are opaque, which I'm in love with because it is so easy to just put gloss over it to get a different look...well, I don't know how much of a different look you can make out of blue or purple lips but you get what I mean.

   I saw some reviews that 'one swipe of the product, and it is all you need'. I don't have red lips by any means and I would say it took my (with a lip clear primer on) three swipes on the lips to get full coverage. The lipstick is very pigmented don't get me wrong but to get a nice and even look, it didn't take 'one swipe'. They stay on for a long time. I went about 3hours before I needed a touch-up, but that's because I started drinking.
 
*Fun Tip: if you're at a party, you will always know which glass is yours!*

 
    They smell absolutely amazing! Like a very light vanilla. Some people have said they smell like MAC lipstick, I do agree but I think these are a bit stronger but defiantly NOT overwhelming!

   I would recommend to anybody who loves color and wants to put a smile or a confused look, on someones face.

  I will put a look together for each color. As tribute to Lime Crime,  my eye makeup is  Duchess for the blue and Medusa for the dark outer corner. Along with a few other tricks up my sleeve. I'm absolutely in love. My friend told me that these lipsticks are "110% Katy" I would hope to think so.


** I bought these product with my own money and these opinions are just from lil' old me. We may just have to agree to disagree sometimes ;)
